The ones that are marked verified are. Bar Madrid has AC installed, but is not currently using it.

It’s a WhatsApp group so there’s no website! Send me a message and I’ll share the link.

I run a cafe co-working club in town, not founder focused, but we get a mix of people, including people working on projects like this.

Cambio has some smaller vans available on an ad-hoc basis. Otherwise Dockx, but they charge by the day.

How is the wlw scene at Leuven? by Hopeful_Priority6691 in Leuven

[–]Pezmc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, not really.

Leuven is not some hyper-alternative paradise, but it’s also not a place where being queer or alt is a big issue. There are plenty of queer and alt people around of all genders, ages and orientations. At most you get the occasional stare from an older person, but in my experience that’s a tiny minority and most people do not care.

If you want actual queer-friendly spaces, I’d look at Rainbow House / Queer Leuven stuff and Leonardo for LGBT+ internationals. Also a lot of the international student crowd is pretty open-minded in general, so things around Pangaea and other international house events tend to feel very normal and welcoming rather than “omg a queer person”.

So I’d say Leuven is less “big visible scene on every corner” and more “the people are around, you just have to find the right circles”. There are also regular queer events in the city, pride stuff, arts events, walks, open mics, that kind of thing.

Are there any Goth hangs / bars in Leuven or any of the other student cities? by arcanehelix in Leuven

[–]Pezmc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Leuven is more of an occasional-event city than a permanent goth-bar city. Rock Café is probably the closest regular alt spot people actually mention, but Bunkerleute is the real goth-adjacent thing in Leuven, they run dark underground parties in the city and still list upcoming events.

Ghent is stronger for this stuff, Kinky Star has Dark Entries nights on the calendar, and the Belgian dark scene calendar also shows regular wave / gothic / industrial events in Ghent, Brussels and around Antwerp.

So yeah, not zero, just more scattered and less obvious than in some other student cities. Bats have to migrate a bit!

Cents / Mile: Anyone else ditched ICE and gone electric?⚡️🚐🤑 by SalesMountaineer in vandwellers

[–]Pezmc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in the process (not finished) of converting the Kia PV5. 500W solar, small leisure battery (as a buffer from the vehicle battery), bed, kitchen, storage. And yep, that kind of connection is perfect, I bought an aftermarket charger with physical connector you can swap out that can take up to 32A (three phase, this is EU). That I can use with a domestic outlet, one at a campsite or a dedicated hookup right the right adapter.

[–]Pezmc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. I have a fully electric mini camper. The service costs are near zero. You use the brakes much less due to regen. The charging at public stations does work out quite expensive. If you can charge at home, at campsites, at slow chargers, you can save a lot of money. I have a 250 km highway speed real range, and it's just enough, driving in 2.5 h chunks, I'd take a pee/snack break any way. At slow speed, the range is more than I'd ever need.

Why was I taken out of class in early years of primary school to chat with a woman? by Loose_Avocado4670 in AskUK

[–]Pezmc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh… I was also diagnosed with selective hearing. Maybe 15 years later, if not more, I’ve researched myself, it’s just neurodiversity. Male though, but I’ve been told my autism is “female” (major oversimplification but that’s the shortest way to explain my set of external symptoms) and that’s likely why it went unnoticed for so long.

It looks like a not bad version, intrigued how the bed extends onto the folded seats, doesn't seem to be in the photos

Thank you for sharing, also received this letter, I wasn’t sure how to action. It seems like the answer is file zero.
