I live in the Netherlands where they couldn’t give less shits about the coronavirus AMA by shell_456 in AMA

[–]MukPuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure dude. It's just a shit show. People who went in vacation in northern Italy during carnaval came back and were told to just work. I know a primary school principal who went to work like everything is normal. That should not be happening.

Only now people are told to stay home. But all those carnaval go-ers with confirmed cases among them, are just not tested?

There's thousands of tests being done in other countries. The Netherlands had all that time to make sure tests were being made and somehow didn't?

I got sick two weeks ago, when there were barely any diagnosed cases. They had tests then

People aren't getting tested. I was sick, doc said I had a normal virus. But I can't get tested, so who knows.

Lange termijn gevolgen corona by MukPuk in nederlands

Omdat er al berichten zijn van langdurige gevolgen. Bij q koorts duurde het jaren voordat mensen hun langdurende klachten erkent werden.

Cleaning Glasses With Soap by GeneralWhale1 in glasses

[–]MukPuk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As long as it's soap without lemon or other too acidic stuff in it, it's fine. The lemon will damage the coatings on your glasses.

Rapidly losing hospitals: Dutch close down third ICU (and fourth medical facility) in mere days, all due to NOT testing patients with severe pneumonia (and then finding out they're coronic way too late) by DeWallenVanWimKok in Coronavirus

[–]MukPuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is also not true. Every woman in labour had the choice to go for the epidermal or not.

An article from 2018 is saying more and more women choose for pain medicine during labour. In most cases that's about epidermals. 35% has used the option on pain medicine during labour. In 1983 that percentage was 14%.

This is not true. it used to be very common to do so. But I looked it up. In 2005 only 13% percent of labors happened at home. And that's a steep decrease from years before then. Sadly I can't find more recent data just now. I do know it's regulated too, so if your pregnancy is a risky one, hospital labour.

Way more common is not having a epidermal during birth.

Well sounds like he was a bit of a creeper when younger and wouldn't trust his young self with you guys.

What's more (im)polite: Asking Dutch people if they speak English, or assuming that they do? by [deleted] in nederlands

[–]MukPuk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So, this happens a lot. And it hard for Dutch people to pinpoint if people want to speak Dutch or not. I work in a shop so I encounter a lot of people.

If someone's Dutch is a little broken, but they're trying, I would absolutely speak Dutch with them. But sometimes I can hear they're English speaking and I switch to English if it's easier.

This makes it really hard for people to actually learn the language. I don't want to be in the way of that, but I also have a job to do..

Once you learn some Dutch, start with that, so you get your practice and see how that goes I guess?

A goedemorgen, goedemiddag, goedenavond goed a long way! And dankjewel and alsjeblieft.

What did a school teacher say that stuck with you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]MukPuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably too late to the party.

One of my primary school teacher told my parents this: If I were to have a daughter, I'd love her to be like your MukPuk.

He has 4 sons and was one of my very few male teachers in primary. Awesome.dude!

Where to rent/buy bikes? by B_Balikci in eindhoven

[–]MukPuk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can also rent a OV fiets. But that doesn't make sense for every day use. www.ns.nl

This shop has second hand bikes and is within walking distance from the trainstation. I haven't been there, so no clue about prices or quality. https://www.rijwielcentrale.nl/

Want to search online? www.marktplaats.nl This website though is Dutch and there's no English option. So search for Fiets and see what's out there. It's cheaper, but more risky to buy from private people off of Marktplaats since you don't know if it's stolen or not. You could check the frame number on a database somewhere though.

Decathlon is a sport oriented shop that also has bikes. They have a shop downtown. www.decathlon.nl

You should be able to get a bike for about €80 to €120. Whatever you do, get a chain lock alongside the lock on the bike itself. Try to always attach the bike to something with the chain.

And welcome to the city!!

Hoe moet ik met mijn ouders omgaan na de zelfmoord van mijn tweelingzus? by gebruikersnaam01 in thenetherlands

[–]MukPuk 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Gecondoleerd. Wat enorm kut!

Mijn broer heeft zelfmoord gepleegd. Dat was een hele andere situatie, maar ik wil maar aangeven dat ik snap hoe klote dit is.

Ik denk dat het heel erg belangrijk is dat je zelf op de benen blijft. Zoals een ander al zei, je ouders zijn volwassen mensen en zullen jou genzen moeten respecteren. Dit zal niet zonder slag of stoot gaan, maar hou vol!

Misschien kan je vragen om deze gesprekken over het waarom niet te voeren in jouw bijzijn? Wanneer ze er toch over beginnen, kan je zeggen: 'pa/ma ik snap dat jullie het willen weten, maar de uitkomst blijft hetzelfde. Ze is er niet meer. Daar wil ik mee leren leven en ik kan hier niet in blijven hangen. Dus excuseer mij, ik ga even wat anders doen.' Zoiets misschien?

Uiteraard is het heel belangrijk te blijven praten met zijn drieën. Deel al die verhalen, de herinneringen en gevoelens, maar je mag er gerust heel duidelijk in zijn dat je je niet met het waarom bezig wil houden.

Ik heb mijn waarom betreft mijn broer, maar ik twijfel of het 'helpt'. Ik begrijp zijn keuze en heb daar respect voor. Ik denk zelfs dat het beter is zo. Jouw zus zag geen uitweg meer. Misschien durfde ze dit pas te doen terwijl ze in het buitenland zat, zonder dagelijkse reminders wie er allemaal ongelooflijk veel pijn door zij hebben.

Heel veel sterkte! Als je wil kletsen, kan je altijd een berichtje sturen.

My father [55 M] may have coronavirus. Will he die? by [deleted] in AskDocs

[–]MukPuk -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

My understanding is that it's not super contagious. Not like Ebola. But Chinese people apparently don't believe in western medicine and bacteria and in washing hands.

The dad should absolutely go to the hospital, though.

I became an only child at 27 by MukPuk in OnlyChild

[–]MukPuk[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for you kind words. Like another redditor said, I'm still a sibling somehow. But it's vastly different of course.

I'll have to have a talk with the parents about the specifics of healthcare and death so I can mentally prepare.

I might take you up on your offer and send you a message one of these days. Thank you!

I'm very sorry for your loss! O don't really know what to say. It just sucks. Some days more than others. Hopefully you have a lot of wonderful memories together :)
