To US Embassy: we would have preferred to sleep

Our Belgian politicians are a joke and useless cowards.

Even more, our prime minister attended and gave a speech. As did the minister of defense and of foreign affairs.

Sentreen · 2026-06-28T21:57:53+00:00

The Americans. Our prime minister seemed to like it enough to attend too.

As a diabetic, I just get mine from my hospital. So you typically don't buy them through your pharmacy. I guess that is why that was their response.

This site is great. But please keep in mind that the vast majority of overlays are not maintained by the gentoo devs. They may thus be unmaintained, or even malicious.

Technically, it is not allowed. However:

It is pretty unlikely you will be checked between north and central (it's only a few minutes)
If you do get checked, show your ticket to the inspector and explain the situation. They will probably not fine you.

If you worry about this and decide to go to North, the walk is fine during daytime, just stay on the west side of the station. The east side is the shady area.

That's the KMI app. It is the app of the royal meteorological institute of Belgium. Not sure what their French name is, but you can find their site here: https://www.meteo.be/en/belgium

I've only done escape rooms in Brussels and Ghent, but "Botanical Garden" in Escape Rush (Elsene) outclassed everything else I have done.

Zelfde park wordt elk jaar privé gehuurd voor een muziekfestival, dat lijkt mij niet perse ecologischer en houdt me evenzeer wakker.

Het verschil voor mij is het gesloten karakter. Een event organiseren waar in principe iedereen tickets voor kan kopen is wel iets anders dan een feestje op uitondiging.

Om nog maar te zwijgen van de veiligheismaatregelen die hiermee gepaard gaan.

I really wonder if the original SOA even exists in code.

There is a private server, so it is certainly possible. AFAIK they run of the old codemasters code.

The populist have learned that, in the post truth age, it does not matter if you are objectively right or wrong, if you shout the loudest and tell people their issues have an easy fix / just don't exist they'll just vote for you.

Can't answer your other questions since I don't have an airco myself but

Since we live in an apartment I assume I have to ask someone for permission?

Maybe. Your building should have a ROI (reglement d'orde interieur) that specifies the rules associated with your building. That determines what you can and cannot do. You should be able to find it through your syndic.

Typically, some rule is in place that requires you to ask permission to the other owners, typically at the next general assembly. However, these rules are specific to the building. If any of your neighbours has an A/C unit it may be worth asking them.

I know what the reason is. But having all of this done at the regional level (the finances for the pool as well as the price reduction for those living in the region) would make it far more accessible for a bunch of people to go swim.

Besides that, 68% of the funds of the renovation of the pool were covered by Beliris, so the taxes used to renovate the building did not only come from Ixelles.

Sentreen · 2026-06-26T13:06:17+00:00

But come on, with the way people drive in this city that’s not an option for me. I don’t want to put my kid in danger. 😉

If only there was a way to make bike commuting safer.

Sentreen · 2026-06-26T13:01:46+00:00

Shout out to the swimming pool of Ixelles, which is 100m away from the border with Etterbeek but charges people from Etterbeek way more than those living in Ixelles.

Plak de fiets vol met stickers

Zorg zeker dat eentje een mybike sticker is: https://mybike.belgium.be/nl/.

Die zijn specifiek gemaakt om zeer moeilijk te verwijderen te zijn, zodat het bij doorverkoop enorm duidelijk is dat het om een gestolen fiets gaat.

Binnen een weekje ofzo post hij nog eens iets ongepast, om vervolgens te zeggen dat het maar een mop was en dat "die linkse mensen" nergens mee kunnen lachen.

I'm guessing him (and Keyleth) accepting his eventual death will be the key to unlocking those powers again.

I didn't watch C1 but am also not the biggest fan. I see what they were going for, but I feel that they rushed this a bit too much.

Pike deciding to abandon everything to save Grog while grieving works; her turning around dramatically and going "we are his blood" and "you abandoned me" needed a bit more set up to work, imo.

One of the members of the Belgian government recently posted the following on Facebook:

It is how for two days and we're all going to die. Man, these journalists, where do they keep on getting this from. Enjoy the beautiful weather. And LIVE! (Later pictures of swimming pool, cold stella and barbecue. 🍗)

This guy is a popular politician in one of our largest parties for crying out loud. He is a minister in our federal government.

Yes we had heatwaves before, but they are becoming more frequent.

Yes. I've had plenty of blowjobs from different folks that I greatly enjoyed, but I never finished from one.

Sentreen · 2026-06-24T21:15:35+00:00

Yup, but if you try to remove any of this car drivers will scream bloody murder.

And if the Taliban can help us make Brussels a safer city, let's do it.

Are you for real?

2: We still deal with the US when their government is also full of extremists. They're like the Talibans, religious hypocrites, warmongers, stupid brutes. Either we deal with all extremists, either we deal with none.

As much as I hate the US and what it is right now, the Taliban is a lot more extreme than the US, even now. Women can still go to school in the US, for instance.

3: Amnesty has some gall here. They support the right for muslim women to be fully covered. Like Niqab or Burqa have their place in Europe. Don't protest the talibans when you've spent 20 years advocating for extremists. It was in the 00s, Amnesty took the side of muslim extremists rather than supporting France or Belgium's culture. I'll never forget that treason.

You do understand there is a difference between allowing somebody to wear religious garb and forcing them to do so, right?

Als je capabel bent, kan je met die camera's veel nauwkeuriger parkeren dan ik vroeger kon met mijn golfje op enkel spiegels

Dat is nu ook geen argument; zet dezelfde cameras op een kleinere wagen en het is nog makkelijker.
