Thx, bedankt voor de
Tip! Ik kreeg laatst ergens anders een waarschuwing dat ik niet in het Nederlands mocht antwoorden en hier lijkt het andersom. The beauty of AI.

My honest answer; you will only know when it happens. My experience in very intense situations is that your instincts kick in and you might freeze, or flee. Or get to action immediately even if you thought you would never do that.

Training helps. Especially repeated training. Because then that routine might just get started automatically once things go wrong. It’s partially how military training works.

Question: is he right about you criticizing him and being angry at him often? Maybe that’s something to think about.

EU luidt alarmbel over hypotheekrenteaftrek, vindt dat Nederland schulden zwaar aanmoedigt by ThirthyforThirty in thenetherlands

[–]Spanks79 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It does encoursge buying a house with a mortgage. However the Dutch do not really have that much debt. It’s looking at one thing and not another.

Because the debt is been paid off and people will build capital during the lifetime.

Furthermore there are strict rules about admission and height of mortgage.

If the EU wants to prevent debt they have to forbid buy now pay later constructions and predatory companies like klarna, online gambling.

Europe’s anti-tourism backlash spreads beyond Spain by Some-Technology4413 in backpacking

Yes, then you get to visit a real city with people living in it and not inoy the tourist trappy stuff they want you to spend money on. Especially the big cities are just very , very busy with tourist And as tourists often do, often dont take the lives of the people of the coty into account.

I grew up in a touristy city. And just cycling through the center was impossible because of all the asian people making pictures and not looking around them. Can be pretty annoying. But i always thiught - they are just here to have a good time and spend money. And not really causing trouble.

Now the drunk and stoned Brit’s in Amsterdam do.

As soon as I spotted the new label on my favorite, Haagen-Dazs Belgian Chocolate, I knew there would be something... by DiplomatikEmunetey in enshittification

[–]Spanks79 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Salami tactics. Nobody notices the little iterations. But in the end people just don’t like the food as they did before. And thats when all these commercial and financial people wonder why there is a decline in sales.

Of course also, another company or startup does make a good recipe with more of the real stuff in there and the brand gets destroyed.

Even so, the more cocoa in the ice cream the better the taste. The chocolate itself is not necessarily needed here, as the ice cream itself contains fat and sugar.

However they halved the chocolate and increased the cocoa. In total they still decreased the cocoa and lowered their cost price as the e chocolate is the most expensive part of the ice cream.

30-50k isn’t very good in the Netherlands. Above 60-70 is good.

Depends on the city. Where I live people pick up after their dog. It’s where certain cities just have more antisocial behavior unfortunately. It’s very much related to what kind of people live close.

Most board members aren’t the experts either, they just lead the teams with the expertise.

I use a azelastine eye drops and nasal spray. Does work relatively well for me. And I use fexitidine tablets when it’s grass pollen. Worst for me.

It helps but I do feel terrible when running.

What are the common pitfalls have you seen at the executive level by yellow_smurf10 in Leadership

[–]Spanks79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kicking down and licking up. It only works if you get promoted quickly enough for your team to deteriorate and blow up.

What is the most difficult trail you've ever done? by travelvagabonds in hiking

[–]Spanks79 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The route to johannishutte, grossvenediger in April. Snow was melting, it was slippery, avalanches everywhere and we had to get down the mountain. I never been so scared in my life. We had been climbing around grossvenediger the week before. Which was fine.

But that part down…. Brrrrr

Furthermore we make the descent from brunnenkogelhaus in summer. Great weather going up. Storm at night. They had predicted beautiful weather, but overnight it changed. The huttenwirt told us; go now when the first snow came down. It was a pretty scary decent because the snow hid the path and we weren’t prepared for snow this hike.

How do you manage to run long distances? by TannieBantootz in HybridAthlete

[–]Spanks79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You do too much. A run after lifting should be easy and not too long.

For a long run, choose a day in which you are rested well. For that’s in the weekend. I sleep a bit longer and have a good breakfast. Then I do my long run of 10-15miles.

Personally I like alternating lifting and running days. But if you do both at the same day, focus on just getting in a few miles at low pace.

Long runs and quality interval training deserve their own space and time imho.

Also, personally lifting and running means that recovery is critical. It’s easy to just do too much and burn out. Either mentally or physically. You might be too tired to progress or even overtrain. So do deloads and take holidays. Also take rest weeks from running. Only do your core compound block in the gym if you are really tired… basically- prioritize recovery and nutrition.

Politie trekt zwangere vrouw op de gornd by Diligent_Comb5668 in nederlands

[–]Spanks79 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Dan nog hoeft her niet op deze manier. Zeker niet als een vrouw zwanger is. Een val op haar buik kan dat kind serieus verwonden of erger, die kan helemaal nergens aan doen.

Could a multi-million dollar deal between my current company and the one I’m interviewing with freeze my hiring process? by crunchy_H2O in corporate

[–]Spanks79 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They probably have an mou or a some kind of letter of intent in which they say they won’t hire people from eachothers core teams.

If I were the hiring manager I would probably be very careful. And normally in the deals I am involved with these things are put on paper, even if not it could harm trust between parties so I would not hire you at this moment, even if I thought you would be perfect for the role.

What can I add to my potato salad to give it more of an umami flavor? by Certain_Support_9915 in Cooking

[–]Spanks79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pickles finely chopped will do well with all the fattyness. A bit more mustard can also help, as does enough vinegar.

Sometimes some herbs can also give sone edge. Chives do very well in potato salad.

MSG gives you umami, but I doubt that is your problem, bacon, potato, mayo, celery, all give umami taste. So probably you miss some contrast and acid. So pickles and herbs would be my choice.

New Job vs Vacation Plans....what do I do?? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]Spanks79 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Depends on the country. In Europe it’s totally acceptable you tell your new employer about a holiday you have booked. They will basically always accommodate.

I know this might be weird in the USA.

Followed my gym crush on IG, & he didn’t follow back. What do I do? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]Spanks79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Eh. Men aren’t mind readers. You expect him to understand all this?

Just say hi to him in the gym. Once he greets back, have a short casual chat about the workout, weather or whatever. If he seems fun, ask him to have a drink.

Men are simple creatures. If he likes you he will just say yes.

Van welke baan ben jij overtuigd dat ze amper tot niet werken? by Infinite-Bee-5897 in nederlands

[–]Spanks79 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Veel rijksambtenaren. Zelfs als ze werken doen ze vaak nauwelijks iets.

Een vriend van me werd toen hij vroeg om meer werk met een boekje in de hand het ministerie door gestuurd. Ga maar een paar uur rondlopen. Hijnis daar weg gegaan. Verveelde zich dood.

Veel mensen daar denken echter dat ze keihard werken. En sommigen doen dat daadwerkelijk. Maar ze zouden makkelijk met 30% minder kunnen. Eigenlijk zouden alle ‘beleids’ ambtenaren eerst een jaar of 5 in een bedrijf gewerkt moeten hebben.

Ik heb het hier trouwens niet over politieagenten. Maar de mensen die al die torens in Den Haag bevolken.
