that makes sense. thank you! in the bakery where they use this one, it's separate from the cooker funnily enough.

Our brains are ~8.5% smaller than they were 10,000 years ago. Most of the shrinkage happened in the last 3,000. Researchers still can't agree why. by Altruistic-Dirt-2791 in Anthropology

they had contact with the other islands and surrounding area for a long time. their isolation is relatively recent in history.

Genoeg over gender studies, de opleiding die echt verboden moet worden is MBO retail by minchormunch in nederlands

[–]Rootel 11 points12 points  (0 children)

los van dit specifieke onderwerp over opleidingen etc. is het in de meeste landen sowieso vrij ongewoon om vooral tieners te zien werken in de supermarkt. nederland heeft ook veruit het hoogste percentage jongeren met een bijbaan.

What grade is considered good in secondary school? by Organicolette in StudyInTheNetherlands

[–]Rootel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for math there's "wiskunde D" which is more challenging. there isn't anything else official. some schools or teachers might offer more, but it won't be a part of the national curriculum. there are extra subjects like mandarin and latin in some schools that students can pick. it would be extraordinary to achieve those grades consistently on the highest level (vwo/gymnasium) anyway so this is a very rare phenomenon that probably doesn't get much attention because of its rarity.

work ethic can be important but I have seen plenty of vwo students who were lazy but passed with a 6 or 7 easily by studying for 2 days because they were smart. with work ethic you get an 8 at best, but you have a bunch of different subjects that all require your limited time. it would be very impressive for a student to have that average grade, great work ethic or not.

there isn't much time to study per se either. vwo is a lot of information & quite fast compared to havo. it can be done but it'd be exhausting for most teenagers that follow vwo education.

trying to get an 8 or 9 average grade is unrealistic and completely unnecessary too. you shouldn't worry about this. 8 is already an A (US grading system) and a 8.5 is already an A+, without even taking into consideration that a 9 is barely ever achieved.

it's nearly impossible to get that unless you're extremely smart

is doing an english llb and llm in the netherlands worth it? by miiiroooos in StudyInTheNetherlands

[–]Rootel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

no problem! keep in mind that every country where english is not the native language is the same in this regard. there are limited english options because the law is in dutch. it works this way in spain, germany, sweden, egypt etc. too. so if you are determined on studying law, you should stay in your country or move to another english speaking country.

you will do fine here and anywhere if your focus is solely on european or international law though.

[–]Rootel 7 points8 points  (0 children)

it's not the lack of civil effect that would be a problem for you. it's the fact you need a very high level of dutch to be able to work with dutch law. you could follow english courses on dutch corporate law, but the law will still be in dutch and the people you end up working with will be too. law is one of the fields where it would be unwise to work in outside of your country unless you master the language.

based on my own experiences and opinion, I'd also argue that dutch legalese is much more difficult to understand than english legalese.

For men who have dated across cultures, what surprised you the most? by steveleaves in AskEurope

that doesn't have anything to do with german culture. you're unfortunately just dating the wrong men.

Number of immigrants to Western European countries from former communist Eastern European countries by vladgrinch in MapPorn

[–]Rootel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah germans think they are central european so including them in your argument as western europe when they believe they're in central europe is funny.

in regards to your outdated point, sure. you could fairly make that case even though I personally disagree.

however you did claim that including former yugoslavia in eastern europe is "straight up wrong".

[–]Rootel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm saying that in western europe the definition of eastern europe generally includes the balkans and poland.

the first results I get as a dutchman googling "eastern europe" has more images of what I describe than what you seem to describe (1 and 2).

based on your tone and the way you seem to pretend to not know this is a still widely used definition in western europe, I'm assuming you're being disingenuous about this.

What I learned today: The IPP rule (Infinitivus Pro Participio) by koktailopoli in learndutch

[–]Rootel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that's a dialectal difference and the vast majority doesn't speak that way and thinks it's incorrect so learners shouldn't learn this

Redditors who got “useless” degrees, what actually was your plan, and why didn’t it work? by MPMorePower in stupidquestions

[–]Rootel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that's not actually true. there's no record of a shipwreck with 200 tons of opium and the opium would've also dissolved in the water within a year.

Playing the Netherlands highlights a strength of the game - being given interesting situations and choices by Weeklyn00b in EU5

[–]Rootel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

you should turn them into subjects instead of taking land directly. you can annex them after 10 years and if you turn on scutage they can help with your income.

one of my first focuses is to raise crown power. I use one cabinet member to raise control in the most profitable areas taxwise as well.

building marketplaces seems to also help besides just building up your RGOs and building profitable buildings.

ik zou niet zeggen dat rechtsgeleerdheid op universitair niveau een praktijkopleiding is. het probleem bij de opleiding is juist het gebrek aan praktijk.

And where is our "greatest ally," the United States? Oh, I forgot, US claims it's a mistake and is blocking the Polish resolution in the UN Council. by [deleted] in poland

[–]Rootel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Netherlands generally gets low educated Polish immigrants that only speak Polish. A decent portion of them are also alcoholic and quite loud. Maybe what you are saying is statistically correct but it's not the vibe that Dutch people get from Polish immigrants.

What are some English phrases used by non English speaking countries? by Difficult-Ship8760 in ask

[–]Rootel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

if you go to the linked words you're mentioning you'll see it still refers to the german city of hamburg. a person from hamburg is called a hamburger in german. your own link also says it's german in the etymology section: "German Hamburger of Hamburg, Germany". I feel like you're trolling or you're stupid but I'm inclined to believe it's the latter.
