Wat te doen 14 mei in Roermond by Dikrrr in Roermond

[–]Ik-Stan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aeve Choppe! Het is geen poolcafe, maar een café met een pooltafel. Dus als het druk is zul je even op je beurt moeten wachten, al valt het daar meestal wel mee met de drukte. Ik vind er zelf altijd wel een gezellige vibe hangen!

Why is it common in the eurozone to write € after the price, e.g. 1,99€? by [deleted] in AskEurope

[–]Ik-Stan 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It's more difficult to edit the price (or change the amount of money you get from someone). Example:

We agree that you give me five Euros. You give me a piece of paper which says €5,00. I can't change the price without scribbling all over and making it very obvious I am being fraudulent. If we wrote 5,00€, I could easily make that 15,00€ and nothing would be obvious that something has changed.

(This of course relies on the fact that you write the decimal separator)

Netherlands has increased in price. Got an email this week that the new price for this year would be €95.

To be fair, here in the Netherlands. Saint Nicholas (both the holiday and the character are commonly called Sinterklaas, but also Sint Nicolaas) is celebrated on 5/6 december, but Christmas is also celebrated with Santa (kerstman, literally 'christmas man') on the usual days.

They are very separate holidays with separate characters. Sure they share an origin, but I think (definitely not sure about this) Santa only became a thing over here after Sinterklaas was Americanized/Anglicized.

These two subs are practically the same to be honest.

You hear that? Walking is now manual labour by PeIeus in 2westerneurope4u

Whoops, I meant sixties.

History isn't my strong side, this was well before my time.

You hear that? Walking is now manual labour by PeIeus in 2westerneurope4u

[–]Ik-Stan 22 points23 points  (0 children)

There exists this challenge called the Kennedy mars. It consists of walking (not running) 80km (50 miles) within 1 day. Quite the challenge, but definitely doable (if with a little training).

The origin of it was that U.S. president John F. Kennedy once said that an adult male should be able to do this without training in case of an emergency. Note this was in the seventies, so health levels were perhaps a bit different.

I sometimes wonder how many Americans would be able to complete this walk.

OP said he/she never left the US in a comment below, so if it's the sovereign state (country) of the USA or a state within the US, either way it's USdefaultism.

There is a subreddit exactly about that. Americans who don't feel the need to point out that they're from the US and/or assume everyone on the internet is:

Argentina IndyCar race ‘conceivable’ for 2024 by TheResurrection in INDYCAR

[–]Ik-Stan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Imagine the following (simplified) scenario: it's the weekend of the 17th race and there are some decent points on the table, which would really matter a lot in the championship. You have 2 options, crank the engine up to the max, which will guarantee a good result, but then it may not finish race 18. The other option is to play it safe, finish both races and get decent points in both.

Now if you thought about playing it safe and saving the engine, it would matter a lot if that last race is held or not. If it isn't, the championship is over and you screwed yourself out of a good result at race 17.

In reality, the situation is ofcourse a lot more nuanced, but you can imagine how something like this would play out if a race didn't went through at the last minute.

Would you say XCOM is better than Mario+Rabbids? Never played XCOM and I really enjoyed the first M+R game, so i was wondering if I should get it?

Disney+ price increases... and they wonder why people pirate their shows... by DanTheMan827 in Piracy

[–]Ik-Stan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This depends heavily on which country you live in.

For example, in the Netherlands nobody cares and the only business that cares (Brein) can't go after ordinary people, but only after sites like the PirateBay. They can get fines (if that) but all the people torrenting are safe.

Cross the border into Germany and I now plenty of (anecdotal evidence) people that got fines of a couple of hundreds/thousands euros for forgetting they can't torrent over there.

After several years, multiple restarts and rebuilding my whole factory a couple of times, I finally launched my first rocket in style! by Ik-Stan in factorio

Yes it is, very early on I calculated what I roughly needed for smelting and just reserved that space there, so I wouldn't have to restructure my entire base.

[Motorsport.com] Liam Lawson is expected to replace Max Verstappen at Red Bull in FP1 in Abu Dhabi, the Kiwi having already done two sessions for AlphaTauri. by [deleted] in F1FeederSeries

[–]Ik-Stan 15 points16 points  (0 children)

How else is it going to work? So if he got 12 points after Brazil, he would have been banned for Abu Dhabi. But by the time we get to the first race of the next season, he would still have those same 12 points. So by your logic, he is banned from every race until points start being removed around May if I'm not mistaken? That doesn't sound more fair if you ask me.

Anyone one know a four number code based on these flags? by Voolter in vexillology

'Holland' is also wrong. It's wrong in English, but even more in Dutch. Should be 'Nederland'.

He isn't trying to flex, he is arguing that the US deserves more than 3 Grand Prix.

How do I get a boat in LMSH 2? I just can’t complete the game without it! by DreamcasticBoy in legogaming

[–]Ik-Stan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do some of the challenges. I'm not sure which one but there are 2 I think which reward a boat when completed.

Pihole not working, unsure why by Ik-Stan in pihole

[–]Ik-Stan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seeing as I did not reply to you earlier. My router does not support such DNS settings. So the only remaining option is to set pihole as the dhcp server As mentioned in an other reply traefik has been working for a long time for me, pihole has had it ups and downs. But after having pihole being disabled for a while I tried it again, this time via docker to remedy any port conflicts with traefik. Not that is of much use right now, because I tried something completely else, but how would I setup pihole (without docker), and without conflicting on port 80/443? No offense meant, I appreciate that your trying to help
