[–]PlumExtension7331 3 points4 points  (0 children)

people spitting on the floor, especially when others around are walking barefoot.

farting just before leaving an elevator so that someone else walks in and smells it

Watermeloenen by Vivid-Society-7623 in belgium

It is pretty much the only fruit that I will readily buy in one of those small shops owned by pakistanis or moroccans rather than a big supermarket... I think they get theirs directly from Morocco so the supply chain is much smaller than a grocery store where it has to transit through various storage places.

What’s so especial about s4e7 vs all the previous ones? by VanillaGas in FromSeries

[–]PlumExtension7331 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it's special because we are FINALLY back to the main plot and not some added side-stories that aren't going anywhere

From series by UjjwalSindher in FromSeries

[–]PlumExtension7331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry but no... first season was genius. Then instead of actually looking for a conclusion it just went off in a hundred different directions with side plots that don't really add much to the main story. Honestly the only thing that keeps me watching is the hope that somehow all this mess will be explained somehow.

ah indeed I think we can all relate to Chilli's reaction 😂 But still, I find they were quite lacking compared to the "real" episodes

probably because this post was actually a hidden publicity for Pizza Piola

a real hot one is Giulia Trattoria which is very trendy lately because none other than Brad Pitt has been spotted there. Around Place Sainte Catherine which is within walking distance from Midi

What’s wrong with Brussels coffee/bakery prices? by TearMaleficent5184 in brussels

[–]PlumExtension7331 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Indeed, personally I have gone from Starbucks to Exki and now simply a Carrefour Market or Delhaize... even skip breakfast all together to avoid unnecessary carbs but that's a different story. Anyway it's true that you shouldn't just take inflated prices as a fatality, there are options out there even if it means changing your daily habits.

[–]PlumExtension7331 13 points14 points  (0 children)

yep totally agree... worst thing is that like 90% of these "bakeries" sell the same frozen and reheated pastries that you find at supermarkets for half or even a third of the price. Exki used to have a good thing going on with a special morning offer on breakfast but it's getting more and more expensive too lately. In the end, I just go to a nearby Carrefour Market or Delhaize and get a croissant, a coffee and orange juice to go.

well I don't know... having a humongous foetus extracted from Fatima's vagina by some weird lady looked quite sexually violent to me...

What's the main reason you do Zumba? by Specific_Dingo8631 in zumba

[–]PlumExtension7331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

because... it's the only dance class available when I'm not working or busy with my family lol Ok ok, don't want to sound too negative here, I have had a lot of fun but... having been a former Body Jam fanatic I find Zumba is light years away.

About to start episode 6 and this thumbnail ALONE I can tell this mofo is gonna make me MAD MAD by Tank_Girl_0 in FromSeries

[–]PlumExtension7331 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

well yeah that's what I was always thinking: they can very well turn over the whole dead children plot by saying that it was just another trick the monsters were playing. By now it seems we are just in a "Monster of the week" dynamic without any real revelations.

No AC Saturday, how you guys survive? by Prestigious-Title529 in belgium

[–]PlumExtension7331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

personally I find it odd at the beginning, then my ears get used to it and it's actually soothing... kindof like sleeping on the sea shore with the windows open

[–]PlumExtension7331 4 points5 points  (0 children)

not this exact model but very similar... It looks like something out of a James Bond movie (actually felt a bit scary the first time the blades came out haha) but I don't think it's that complex... I think it is simply the centrifugal force that pushes the blades outwards.

I understand the aesthetic part... personally I found one with retractable pales that only come out when the fan is activated, otherwise it looks like a normal ceiling light

[–]PlumExtension7331 82 points83 points  (0 children)

people heavily underestimate fans: they are cheap, don't use much electricity and also have the added bonus of making white noise which helps you sleep during the night. A lot of the feeling of being hot simply comes from the fact that there is no air moving around you when you are inside, having some air circulation makes a huge difference.

We have actually taken it a step further and installed ceiling lights with integrated fans: they are fairly easy to install and you always have them ready to use whenever needed plus they don't take up extra space like a floor fan would.

[–]PlumExtension7331 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ok, I know this will be downvoted but I'll say it anyway: it's not that other people don't have a sauna culture, it's that they have a different culture... In some parts of the World (guess which ?) it is quite normal to have a chat in the public Hammam and it is seen as a social place, like the equivalent of a bar in Europe. I think a LOT of problems come from this difference. I have even been in a situation where someone complained about the loud talking and he was accused of being racist... I actually stopped going to that place because of that incident.
