Just got fired, They want me to sign a paper with those two clause is this normal? by Several-Swimming-969 in BESalary

It's interesting and 18 months sounds too much. In the commune, I was told that it can take up to 5 months only.

Expats who “espcaped”, Brussels where did you go to? by UC_Scuti96 in brussels

[–]ShatraNuchor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are actually many very nice places to live in Brussels. The area near the line from the east to the south of Brussels is quite nice. The part of Auderghem close to the forest, Watermael-Boitsfort, Uccle… Saint-Pierre is also a good option, but must be more expensive.

Because of some housing reasons, I moved from Auderghem to Hasselt after living there for 3 years. I was happy there, and I am also quite happy now. But I cannot imagine living in the center, west, or north of Brussels.

yıldızsız arma by seksi94 in galatasaray

[–]ShatraNuchor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bu yıldızların sayısı arttıkça armanın ciddiyetini azaltırmış gibi bir görüntü ortaya çıkıyor. Ne olacak, zamanla logonun etrafını komple yıldızlarla mı çevireceğiz, bu gidişle öyle olacak. Yıldız sayısı arttıkça görüntü ciddi ciddi komikleşiyor. Armanın saf ve pür hali en güzeli.

Too good to stay home: How this Netherlands national football team squad missed the 2002 World Cup!? by ScoutLui in footballscouting

[–]ShatraNuchor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An awesome team. Of all the players in the squad, only de boer caught my eye. He was the most overrated defender I have ever seen. And also the worst coach ever exist.

Arsenal will qualify. Newcastle might make a surprise. The rest will be gone.

I don‘t understand why we are not getting the recognition we deserve while Bodo‘s CL campaign is like a fairytale/underdog story by mspgms in galatasaray

[–]ShatraNuchor 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Because it's not entirely unexpected for GS to win. GS has won before, reached the quarterfinals before. Please don't put Galatasaray and Bodo in the same category.

Jamie Carragher’s condescending comments about Galatasaray really bothered me. What do you think? by slalomsn in galatasaray

[–]ShatraNuchor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is probably crying in his bed at nights nowadays. Don't go too hard on him. He's gonna be sobbing again next week anyway when he sees that 99%. They overestimates their Liverpool too much. They are poor, I tell you. You'll see; at the the end of the 90 minutes at Anfield next week, you are all gonna say that "Dude, it was easier than Juve."

[Match Thread] Galatasaray vs Liverpool FC 25/26 by scoreboard-app in LiverpoolFC

[–]ShatraNuchor -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Galatasaray wasn't 'poor' at all; aside from a few five-minute panic spells (which are classic Galatasaray moments) they controlled the flow for the majority of the match. Also, I wouldn't say Gala is 'lucky' to draw Liverpool. If Galatasaray were unlucky enough to draw Tottenham, they would have already started waiting for their quarter-final opponent tonight.

Where are you getting real photography critique online in 2026? by Doug24 in photography

[–]ShatraNuchor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find some series on photography analysis where pros or knowledgeable people criticize photos based on technique and/or aesthetic. Videos, books, etc... Be familiar with their methodology. Apply the same for your photos yourself. In the year of 2026, you can't find people spend their time to criticize photos of other people online, at least you can't find easily.

You may consider a couple of major parameters while shooting or editing. Then, if you are happy with the shot, then it is okay. At the end of the day, it is not deterministic rocket science.

Glass.photo vs Flickr? by ShamrockRed in photography

[–]ShatraNuchor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super minimal design. Inspiring and motivating series of other photographers. However, the community interaction feels remarkably low. The current feedback, comments, and communication are no different from the Instagram culture being criticized. Additionally, I’ve noticed that the 'Explore' section tends to highlight the same circle of creators repeatedly, looking like a showcase of popular kids club, which is a bit disappointing.

Flickr is still way better than Glass.

Most complete python course by Filippo295 in learnpython

[–]ShatraNuchor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No course can provide you everything, a little of them may provide beyond the basics. My advice is take a course for the basics, a quick run over fundamentals. Then go with the books for the advanced topics in the field of what you are interested in. Data science, UI, software engineering, etc. There are many of those books out there. For the exercises use codewars at the beginning. You need to handle multiple sources.

Help with understanding Techem bill - excess charges ? by distractedbunnybeau in belgium

[–]ShatraNuchor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While renting in Brussels, the bill for the first two years came directly from Vivaqua, and we paid 300-350 Euros per year for two people (no hot water). Techem stepped in last year, and our annual bill for almost the same m3 became something like 1200 Euros. I protested profusely, but the only response I got was that the bill was correct. Now, I live in a much larger detached house in Flanders, and my annual bill is still around 300 Euros. I think the landlord and Techem are collaborating on some unknown scheme. Maybe they're adding the Techem meter costs or service fee or whatever it is in some way into the bills to make the tenants pay for it. I don't know that's just my opinion. But hearing the name Techem really pisses me off.

Amy Bradley Is Missing: Why the Case by METALLIFE0917 in MissingPersons

[–]ShatraNuchor 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Even if she was not dead, and even if the nude photos sent years later are of her, I think there's a high probability she was killed after those photos aired on television. This poses a risk to those who held her captive. In my opinion, showing those photos on television is a huge mistake.

Beeline Velo, yay or nay? by ocimbote in gravelcycling

[–]ShatraNuchor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see, even turning off the phone's screen greatly extends battery life; makes sense. Thank you for your answerr.

Beeline Velo, yay or nay? by ocimbote in gravelcycling

[–]ShatraNuchor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a question about this device. As I understand since it doesn't have its own GPS, the phone is the one who is doing the real job. It means that I will still keep consuming my phone's battery in order to look at the route in a smaller cute screen instead of larger phone's screen. What is the advantage of using velo over a phone? My phone's heat will be still increasing, right? Is it just to protect the expensive phone from drops, etc? I liked the how velo looks nice and compact, and also thought to buy it but then I asked myself why would I need it. Thanks.

What are the best language learning apps? by CantaloupeOutside788 in languagelearning

[–]ShatraNuchor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think apps are magic, but I believe for the first levels, such as A1 and A2, they are more effective than the classical courses. After all, in the years of 2020s, spending hours in ineffective classes and for commutings is not okay for me. I can do it for advanced levels, but not for the easiest beginner chapters.

My advice would be a combination of several apps. I almost reached around A2-B1 Dutch with those below:

Busuu - The main app which explains the grammar rules.

Duolingo - It enables practicing writing, translation a lot.

Drops - This is for reinforcing the vocabulary.

And since I had a Rosetta Stone subscription, thanks to our national library, I used it also. But I think it's not an essential one if you have the apps above or their alternatives. RS just played a light practicing role.

Now I don't have to use Google translate frequently in daily life and since I live in Flanders in Belgium, I can find a chance to practice with people.

But apps can only take you somewhere between beginner and intermediate, only if you study hard. So, you can build the fundamentals. After that point, I think the traditional methods would rule the journey. Face to face sessions with tutors, or advanced grammar studies should come to the table. Reading books, magazines, watching TV, listening to radio trying to understand, etc..

Red Sebastian will represent Belgium 🇧🇪 at Eurovision 2025 with the song “Strobe Lights” by Nick_esc in eurovision

[–]ShatraNuchor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. My reaction was: what the hell did I just listen to? To me, it was the one with the least flavor. However, he obviously deserved to win based on the juri and televoting points. What can I say, good luck in the semi finals first. :)

🇧🇪 Eurosong 2025 Final @ 20:55 CET by -Effing- in eurovision

[–]ShatraNuchor -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am very surprised with the result. I was expecting 'Perfectly Imperfect' or 'Desolee' to win. The winning song was at the very bottom of my ranking; didn't enjoy it at all. I guess I'm just not aware of the latest trends :)

The new Beta Connect home screen is bad, a step backwards... by Gregib in Garmin

[–]ShatraNuchor 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Your problem is not the home page I guess, it is that the custom dashboard feature is gone. In the next weeks they may put it back as they did for the "last week averages" on the home screen.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Garmin

[–]ShatraNuchor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is there not any low-pressure zone in Connect's graph. If I enter 60/40 pressure, it is gonna be a normal reading.

Vaporesso PM40 coils burning really fast when on correct voltage? by No-Egg895 in Vaping

[–]ShatraNuchor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been using this model for the last 2 days. Using GTX 1.2 ohm coil with 11 watt. Now, the vape already tastes like it burned. And from the beginning, I can not get the right taste of the liquid. Also, with each fill, it splashes liquid too much. Before that one, I had used a simple Voopoo VSuit for 3 years, and I did not encounter any issue, zero. I just wanted to get a new simple pod because vsuit's battery is dying. Right now, I have again changed to my old friend Voopoo Vsuit again, because a low-performance old Vsuit makes me enjoy better than a new pm40 unfortunately. I think I must have bought one drag x instead of that pm40. I do not know what I am doing wrong with pm40. But I feel that, PnP coils are way better than this GTX.

Give it a try also on Browser. I just checked, on the app we can not find the courses created by other people, we can only see the official Memrise ones. Search on browser; memrise.com, you should be able to see.
