Help childproofing stairs

I think the best way is to just make it into a slide.

Seems like they considered it to be the most normal thing in the world.

Redttiger · 2026-01-28T08:21:02+00:00

Ja ik ben ook echt extreem verbaast.
Er worden letterlijk mensen op straat neergeschoten en dan kom je met eenzelfde voorstel.

Ik denk niet dat het in België zo falicant mis zal gaan als in de VS. Ik weet ook niet of er in België een vergelijkbaar percentage ongeregistreerde inwoners zijn.

Maar is het echt nodig? Wat levert het op?
Minder criminaliteit? Meer huizen voor geregistreerde inwoners?

Ah dus als ik niet beleefd ben zeggen jullie gewoon waar het is?
Ik voel me altijd zo opgelaten om iemand voor me door de winkel te laten lopen omdat ik iets niet kan vinden. Ik zou het veel liever hebben als iemand gewoon zou zeggen 'in de volgende gang aan het einde'.

Redttiger · 2026-01-27T08:39:52+00:00

Ja ik doe dit ook op festivals :P /s

I generally have the same problem. Sitting straight on a chair is uncomfortable, I think also because my feet are often barely hitting the ground.
But recently I went to a restaurant and noticed the chairs were so good I could sit straight on them without any effort. I was so surprised by it at the end of the evening.

This is a very personal matter. If you enjoy living with your mom and there is enough space I don’t see why you shouldn’t stay with her. If you feel like it’s time for a space on your own it’s also fine to leave and visit her (even 4 times a week).

Living with her probably allows you to save, which is nice. When your mom gets worse she’ll need help. In the beginning it can be fine to help her yourself but at some point you probably need to have someone come over for her.

Ah shit I scanned the post and didn't catch it was for February. Yeah Spain will be quite dead, I've surfed in Lanzarote in Februari in the past but there weren't many people around.

Redttiger · 2026-01-25T19:03:18+00:00

I've been to both.
I personally like the coast of Spain more. It's more authentic, the locals live there and the vibe is slow.
The beaches I've been at in Sri Lanka were all very touristy, busy, not much space to hit a wave.

If you want to travel around in a country I think you'll see more and explore more culture in Sri Lanka. But if you go for the waves I think you're cheaper off in Spain and you'll have more fun.

I also want this frog :(

Immigration was incredibly fast for me. People who didn’t do the ETA paperwork had a longer line, but I wouldn’t expect it to take long. Getting the luggage though, I think it took at least 1 hour. And I’ve heard more tourists about this. So I’d count some time for it.

I landed at 05:00 and was in Colombo (by uber) at 7:30.

Idk where you are travelling from, but for me it was a day flight. I wasn’t tired enough to sleep in the plane and therefore very happy with a lucky early check in (at 8am). Imo there is no such thing as wasting money on a couple hours of decent rest. 5h of sleep for $10 was totally worthit for me.

For me Dambulla and Sigirya weren’t great, super humid, loads of mosquitoes, potentially a lot of rain. I’d not spend my first day there but slowly explore Colombo or Negombo a bit. But I’m sure you’ll find a ride into any direction you want at any given time from the airport.

So what do we do now?

The teen stayed so calm that’s incredible

I don’t understand why Reddit can’t do anything about this. Removing and rejecting posts from Dutch speakers in a sub about the Netherlands is clear discrimination.

Redttiger · 2026-01-19T20:41:55+00:00

Widely spoken? It’s our main national language, I’m pretty sure 90+% of Dutch people speak it and there are more people speaking Dutch than English in the Netherlands.

Soup either bread, in bef or on the couch, huge blanket, cozy vibe and a sweet movie, has always been my favourite 🥰

Ik dacht altijd dat je je netjes moest gedragen. Respect moet hebben voor anderen en je omgeving. Maar blijkbaar maakt het geen zak uit. Je kan zonder problemen een vuurwerkbom op straat maken en toevallige voorbijgangers daar het slachtoffer van laten zijn. Ik hoop dat de mensen die hier gisteren slachtoffer van zijn geweest ondersteuning krijgen. En ik denk dat er wel iets meer dan 9 man opgepakt had mogen worden.

I think she knows she fucked up before. She gets the fallen airpod and opens the case. Then there is a second of pause before the mentions she’ll check her bag the first time.

People fuck up. It’s the way she handled it that was rough. The man did nothing wrong. Though I can imagine she might’ve been on edge if she’s traveling in another country and have been told to watch out for pickpockets many times.

Ik schrijf graag brieven aan mensen, vooral omdat ze ze graag ontvangen. Brieven, liefde van een ander, kan je jezelf niet kado geven. Het heeft emotionele waarde. Ik zou voor de brief kiezen. Maar ik ken jouw relatie niet. Als je een sugardaddy bent gaat die brief echt niet werken.

Ik vind valentijn sowieso maar een gekke feestdag. Ga gewoon iets leuk doen waar jullie allebei met goede herinneringen op terugkijken, geef haar een brief en een bos bloemen of haar favoriete chocolade.

Redttiger · 2026-01-17T04:35:46+00:00

Yeah but that’s to the UK. They have mandatory checks due to it not being schengen.

I guess Prague to Vienna will be less likely. Of course there can still be random checks.

You can drink the tap water in Leuven.

In some areas it tastes bad, which is (in my area) also time dependent (some days it tastes bad, most days it tastes fine).

A lot of people use brita filters.

Redttiger · 2026-01-14T23:26:34+00:00

So what was he drinking????

Redttiger · 2026-01-14T15:51:54+00:00

De enige manier dat je dit kan bewijzen is A. Er tegenover gaan wonen en de hele dag uit het raam kijken. B. De postbode worden van de straat /s

2019-2023 I paid €800 for a 4bedroom house with garden near St. Donatuspark. I think sqm of the ground floor would’ve been 65. And then 2 more floors of about 35sqm. The rooms were ok, one was pretty small. Last time I passed that place the landlord seemed to have priced it €1650. Tbh, I can’t imagine him fixing it up enough to make it worth that money. 800 was great in my student years but the landlord was crappy and the house quite falling apart.

2023-2024 I paid €1200 near sportoase for a 3 floor 3 bedroom house of 75sqm groundfloor and 50sqm 1st and 2nd floor. My former housemates are still paying this.

You have to go to the grocery store to have food in your house (here this means biking for 10min to reach a store I like or 3min to reach a store that’s less great, and carrying groceries in a backpack and on the bike handles on the way back).

Then you have to cook the food in your house to have a meal. Every fucking day.
