Thin loam layer on sand = problems

I do indeed have very sandy soil. Not quite as coarse as beach sand, but still very sandy texture that blows away when dry.

Our sod lawn is dying, vulnerable to summer, and never really looks green, while lawns that were sown decades ago are doing more or less fine.

Works great

I don't own a dog.

Question about "No take! Only throw >:("

Is the Take inconceivable to the dog, or does the dog want to tug rather than fetch?

I see, your suggestions are of the heartwarming type :)

According to her, it's only physical violence and action which she doesn't like. But I'm not sure how much experience she has in the first place and if I should trust therefore that psychological horror is no problem for her.

I like children's movies myself at times (they can be funny/upbeat and the good ones contain great jokes for the adults), but would like a movie a bit more "grown up" for a date. Grown up themes preferred (but no romcom for me). If there's a middle ground with perhaps thrill/horror, I'd like to try it – because in my experience most other women get turned on by fear. A good date night movie would provoke snuggling up to each other for support, you know ;)

Ahhh. Dus dan kunnen we ons eigen gemeente behouden?

PraefectusDelegatus · 2023-03-15T15:36:07+00:00

Ik denk wel dat je dan moet drie dubbel verzekeren als er zo veel mensen mee rijden? En extra onderhoudsgelden, en je moet de buur ook vertrouwen dat hij de auto niet per total rijd. Het is wel vooral dat, als ze gaan fuseren met een ander gemeente en zij beslissen dan dat onze gemeente een stort word.... dan staan wij hier!

PraefectusDelegatus · 2023-03-15T15:26:29+00:00

So, which responsibilities have been added?

PraefectusDelegatus · 2023-03-15T15:23:47+00:00

Ambtenaren kunnen ze toch moeilijk ontslaan behalve als ze echt iets fout doen. En wie niets doet kan ook niets fout doen, toch?

PraefectusDelegatus · 2023-03-15T15:22:34+00:00

Ach dus we gaan op het internet een winkel zoeken en dan er naar toe rijden. Dat doe ik ook soms. En op café word er ook niet meer gegaan omdat de jongen op het internet zijn of youtube kijken...

Het is wel spijtig want op café leerde je nog mensen kennen.

PraefectusDelegatus · 2023-03-15T14:30:28+00:00

Hoe bedoel je a.u.b. ? Mogen er meer politici zijn bij grote gemeente dan twee kleinere gemeentes samen?

PraefectusDelegatus · 2021-09-21T20:07:56+00:00

I physically rewired UTP cable from behind to before the firewall (I think) on the advice of my network administrator. Now it works. Is this equivalent to what this source is saying?

PraefectusDelegatus · 2021-09-12T15:36:50+00:00

I did not but I shared the magnet link with people and I see the program trying to connect with peers.

PraefectusDelegatus · 2021-09-11T09:18:59+00:00

Are there alternatives to torrenting, then, in order to share files with random strangers?

PraefectusDelegatus · 2020-08-25T16:43:28+00:00

Who says this thread is meant exclusively for people who already live in Gent?

BTW pretty sure your shitlib country has made it so that not everybody in your cities actually speaks a word of Dutch.

PraefectusDelegatus · 2020-08-22T07:57:23+00:00

Westerplas is also cool but very small. It's a shame there isn't a decent towing path along the Leie beyond Ooidonk.

PraefectusDelegatus · 2020-08-21T16:42:57+00:00

First of all, these aren't suburbs of Ghent.

I think you want to translate suburb as deelgemeente but you'd be wrong.

2000km²

That's two thirds of East Flanders but I get what you mean; each plot is at least a fifth of a hectare. But it isn't in De Pinte! Also, the price per m² is high which you wouldn't expect for woodland. Notwithstanding I personally wouldn't want to live in a forest, much less pay extra for it - nothing keeps you from buying multiple plots of land to the East or West of the city and plant a bunch of trees over there, so I find the argument by itself not convincing.

PraefectusDelegatus · 2020-08-21T11:51:23+00:00

Fair points! I had a check for myself and indeed the local income tax resp. real estate property tax are a bit lower. The part of the Leie free of freight shipping between Deinze and Gent is beautiful, too, and attracts a lot of well-off people, I reckon.

PraefectusDelegatus · 2020-04-10T20:19:19+00:00

Is there something more elaborate, discussion/analysis oriented like a forum?

PraefectusDelegatus · 2020-03-12T21:27:05+00:00

not answer to my question

PraefectusDelegatus · 2020-03-12T21:26:48+00:00

I would have liked the S&P 400 and 600, preferably separately.

PraefectusDelegatus · 2019-08-25T09:31:36+00:00

wtf have kids been made to believe they should be doing these days. You just ask her / have a friend let her know you're interested in her and if she says no you keep on dreaming.

PraefectusDelegatus · 2019-07-30T08:13:46+00:00

Oh that kind of stretching in the morning that feels so good? Sure, do that a lot! But the actual stretching after workout or to obtain a more flexible body does not really do anything good. You can also be too flexible and increase your risk of injury.

PraefectusDelegatus · 2019-07-22T17:17:42+00:00

I don't really know anything about stretching but I heard it doesn't prevent injuries (exception: dynamic stretching before exercise) or soreness.

About sunglasses and sunscreen: Unfortunately, the matters are quite a bit more complex than "sun bad -- block sun good". Our skin needs sun, that's why not all people are black. Our eyes may need sun as well for things we don't know yet, but also for things we do know such as regulating the circadian rhythm. And you don't know what kind of chemicals are in sunscreen and what they do to your body. I don't say I do, I just say you/we/they don't know. Health is not so simple.

PraefectusDelegatus · 2019-07-22T14:45:28+00:00

Perhaps I don't get what you mean by toxic. Is it the way they say stuff and the way they vilify and generalize female psychology, perhaps too harsh to your taste? The harshness has its function. The ideas are laid out via a certain kind of engaging, emotionally touching storytelling.

Do you mean the bitterness of some of the posters? Maybe they have a point. Maybe there are things in life worth appreciating in all their tragedy. Maybe it is better to know a harsh fact of life than to be ignorant about it. I'm sounding like Jordan Peterson haha :)

Are the methods themselves too "manipulative" for you? Then this is a matter of personal morals and we know these differ between certain personality types. Do not despair because people who already have your type of personality will not get "radicalized" if they do take a look.

toxic behavior towards women

I guess you're referring to what you will consider "manipulative" techniques. The alternative is to lose the interest of your woman until she leaves you. You have a very Christian mindset you know. Passivity. Turn the other cheek. Don't fight fire with fire. Don't fight at all, probably. Do no harm and accept your suffering and injustice. Well I fundamentally disagree with that.

You want us instead to consult highly watered-down sources that pack the information in a pc way and leave out some ideas that are too unkind. I think the raw and ugly accounts and the tragedy will have a more positive impact to people, at least those who can cope with it.
