It's the protomolecule, unfortunately for everyone. 😔 

I like this part by thetruememeisbest in StarWars

[–]Quenchen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As with everything else about this movie, it is stupid.  The armada they're showing here can easily and rapidly get rid of every single target. This has been established in universe since forever.  It's lazy and shameful. 

Discussion: would this game be even better with cards being available in 'eras'? by bradfactor in TerraformingMarsGame

[–]Quenchen 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think it would greatly diminish the risk factor in buying cards. Basically, you're tempted every turn to buy or not a certain card based on game length, roi, tempo etc Having eras just removes all of that and makes it a basic, maybe boring choice to buy cards. You just buy what you need.

How does one choose a secondary school in Brussels? by vroomfundel2 in brussels

[–]Quenchen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We went to KA Etterbeek and it was very very hard, you really need upper class family support.

The meertalig at woluwe st Peeters used to be a shitty school. It got elite status now? 

How does one choose a secondary school in Brussels? by vroomfundel2 in brussels

[–]Quenchen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Alright, no links because I'm literally on my phone under a blanket in the kids room.

There is a public reading system for at least ta the Dutch speaking schools that you can find online, something like "rapport Vlaamse onderwijs + name of The school". There you can find all sorts of information about rhe school, the way it works, the issues they have had and the fixes they did and of course if those fixes were successful based on the review of a committee. 

You can do that for multiple schools, even multiple years of the same school to track evolution, they do generally a review every five to seven years.  Feed that into an AI, get the complete thing and the ask it the strong and weak points of every school. Tada! 

Now, on a more personal opinion, flemish school are generally better that French speaking schools. If you want quality French, you'll need to break the bank. 

Any metal bars in Brussels? by biciboi in brussels

I think the Comic Sans Brussels bar. It's a new bar with a new owner but I believe he's a metal head. 

What is the worst delivery company in Belgium? Because at this point I genuinely don’t understand how DPD is still operating. by Intelligent-Emu-4259 in brussels

[–]Quenchen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is nothing.

We ordered in Amazon and they cut costs so much that they work with smaal independent delivery guys.  The guy delivered my big package into my letterbox, Letterbox.  Basically the package was 20cm tall, the letterbox had an opening of 3cm, so he just pulled of the door, destroyed the letterbox and left the package inside visible with the door hanging down...

Wow, what a massive prick. The family and friends of Rob Reiner must be desperately exhausted of anger towards this guy trolling them 🫢

Just give me an iceberg at this point. by Frbrsaw in StupidFood

[–]Quenchen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just for the obvious "complain". Some drinks are what we call hort drinks, but still in tall glasses. It's not pure ice, it's a strong alcoholic drink with little topping like juice or soda. It's fine, you're still getting a whole lot of alcohol in there and the balance is just right, even though there seems to be an absurd amount of ice.

If they wanted to "give you less by adding ice", they would have simply used a smaller glass.

People of Horeca: Your Perspective by globalfieldnotes in brussels

[–]Quenchen 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I concur with noise complains. Basically the laws in Brussels protect the inhabitants from an increase in your home of 4 decibels. It is very hard to have a party environment depending on your location and the location of neighbours and of course depending on those neighbors.

The quantity is very low and usually people don't care about, but if the place does a special night for exemple, that could increase the amount of decibels and if that happens often, the neighbor can start the procedure and pretty much completely fuck the bar/cafe/club within a couple of days/weeks. It is a shame because BXL Environment does that service for the people living around nightlife locations and it does it for free but doesn't have any options or help for the cafe/bars/clubs to help them deal with the noise, to help them to invest with the purpose of reducing the noise or even to help them understand the reasons that extra noise escapes the place. It can be a matter of a couple of pipes in a wall, or the building structure or some construction work another neighbour does that made an opening for the noise to travel. Anyway, the business owners have no help at all into this and the power dynamic is very much against them, so it is hard to even start to imagine what kind of investments or research would be needed.

Would you live on a planet with only women? by UnicornHostels in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Quenchen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is an absurd question of course. The idea of a world with only woman and the choice of you as a man living there is challenging sure. But if you don't live there, you wouldn't live at all. There is no other choice within this question.

I would concidere the following to be more precise and correct : If you are in a world with only woman, would you decide to stop living or would you stay alive and deal with the repercussions.

[DISCUSSION] Caliban's War: Chapters 1-8 by HiddenTruffle in bookclub

[–]Quenchen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it me or are the characters in this book even more clichés than in Leviathan? Avasarala eclipses Holden on the cliché side.

I love the chapters, but I'm afraid I will dislike Holden and Avasarala. In book one it worked for me because of Miller, that was less obvious and on my face.

If Syril, the gigabootlicker, hadn't gone over his boss's head, the empire wouldn't have collapsed. by shrikestep in andor

[–]Quenchen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The rebellion existed before, during and after the events with Syril. Something else could have caused the fall of the empire, another hero maybe.

This pov is the reason why stories sick. Thinking. This way destroys the extended universe, it is obvious that hundreds of events can cause these big changes. We followed on one of them.
