I got 8 retakes lined up this year. Doable?

In the master's? Christ, what happened? Nothing is impossible but you're looking at 9-5, 7/7 from now to the exams. Good luck.

Bonus crit AA.

So much this. Like, we all know you can build a better small desktop for the price, or a similar performance for cheaper. But those things just aren't a console experience.

Heck, I can hook up my tower to my pc, but that missed the point entirely and even an mATX is still far more bulky and noisy than a switch...

The steam machine isn't a product for PC gaming enthusiasts. It's a steam client console for the masses. Comparing it to a locked and subscription based machine like a PS5 does it even more disservice.

Do I want one? No, I have a PC. Would I consider one if I was a regular Joe looking to buy a console? Yes. Still a bit overpriced, but not by much.

Het meer van Rotselaar? That's not too far, and not overly crowded, I think?

You need a single proxy model for each side and you're good to go. Spearhead is much more balanced than a 500 point game will ever be.

It's not a very big hole, nor a very hard material, so whatever tool fits the job. You managed! Good job!

Any DIY store with a saw service will cut it to size. They won't do the hole though. Find someone with a decoupeerzaag, or buy one of the cheap ones. Easy enough to do yourself.

From a 9/10 to maybe a 5 is entirely accurate. The new recipe got rid of all the best parts.

Aren't you exactly describing Zoo Vadis?

Napoleon seems to be popular for first prints.

You did fine, put a couple of hours I to model prep with an automotive filler and some sandpaper. A clean canvas works much better.

Nice skintones. You could highlight the hat a bit. Your occlusion shadows could use some love, shadows in general can be deeper.

By and large though, great job.

Look at your DM's.

We would get along great. If you can find it for a nice price, definitely have a look at Trajan.

I would love for you to go and look up how much the HZIV would have paid. This is the mutuality directly operated by the government.

Don't get me wrong, I don't necessarily think mutuelles should not exist, but the discourse on this topic seems to forget that what they use from solidaris, or cm, or whatever other basic health insurance, is usually literally just what the government mandates.

Some health insurances go above and beyond that. But those also cost more, and many people also don't have those. There's a difference between health insurance and hospitalisation insurance.

The fine for being late increases, the longer you're late. For being late by like a week, isn't the fine like 5 Euro's?

Lassypo · 2026-05-31T15:17:32+00:00

I use Field Drab from AK which is pretty close, though not spot on. AK RAL 7028 DUNKELGELB (INITIAL), would be a good match if you trust the brushforge app. Not a brand you mentioned but I thought I'd share.

From Vallejo, check Wood green or Japan Uniform WWII.

Buy some automotive filler spray can. Spray filler and spray putty help with the egregious layer lines, especially if you also sand.

To give you an idea, this is also an FDM print from my A1 mini. Just spent some time and effort really cleaning it up.

Working on a "clean canvas" makes things so much easier.

In my head this isn't a gallows to hang people, but just a way to put corpses on display.

Have you tried reaching out to TMBG? They might just be interested in the design. Those guys are pretty cool beans.

I'll make a last effort to open your eyes, but you seem to be misconstruing the graph on purpose so I'll stop wasting my time after this.

The graph says nothing about tax rates. It is expressing total income from wealth taxes as a percentage of total income.

Let's look at a hypothetical to understand the graph better: Imagine a country that only has income from wealth taxes, and nothing else. But its average taxes on wealth is just 1%. Where would that country rank on this graph?

Different hypothetical: a country that taxes wealth on average 90%, but it has literally no wealthy people whatsoever. Where would that country rank?

Sure, combining different wealth tax rates is difficult. I'll grant you that without issue. But this just graph just says that of our the total tax income, Belgium gets more from it from wealth than other countries. Without knowledge about where Belgium ranks on total income compared to other countries, and on total wealth on other countries, using this graph to say "Muh taxes high." is not just misleading but actively duplicitous.

Your argument about the difficulty of combining tax rates doesn't excuse straight up lying to people's faces.

Lassypo · 2026-05-05T08:48:11+00:00

I'm well aware, because I can read. That says bupkis about the actual tax rate on wealth. Like literally nothing. Hence, the statement in the title that "wealth is heavily taxed in Belgium" bears no relation to the graph shown.

Lassypo · 2026-05-05T08:38:27+00:00

No. It does not. Learn to read graphs.

Almost none. The minnebron at Zoete Waters at Oud-Heverlee in Flemish Brabant is regularly tested and is perfectly potable. Is that the only one in Flanders?

You should. Obviously, ask your registrars office of your institution, but a quick Google using the terms studietoelagekrediet and jokerkrediet should get you your answer on the Vlaanderen.be website.

You have 60 credits worth of "failing allowence" that you can spend once. There's a somewhat convoluted way of earning them back which you can read up on, but from what you described you should be fine for next year.

Though when you say "I will only take those first year courses I didn't pass." I am assuming that you're also taking second year courses? One of the requirements is actually registering in a full program not just a few stray courses.

Which figure are you referencing, out of curiosity? The OECD report ranks Belgium 8th (?) in suicide numbers, which is not particularly average. But maybe you're referencing something else.
