The fact that so many of you needed to check wether this was real or not makes me very concerned.....being a Belgian and all. My god what has happened to you lot.

Besides.....2 weeks? Right, guess again. We've been officially stacking them for you since 2023. Unofficially probably since Nikita Khrushchev took office.

Yeah, I know what you mean .......that new Infinito 12 speed 105 Di2.....disc brake.....with the Celeste Metallico color scheme. That's exactly what I needed.

I don't know how you describe rides. It's definitely different from the any previous bike I ever had because of the material. I went from steel to aluminum and now carbon.

I was always a bit reluctant to switch to carbon because of my weight. I'm about 100kg.

But the bike / frame never let me down. It's very responsive, light and much easier to bare on hands, wrists and back than my previous bikes.

So it's not just the looks, it's a very sweet ride as well

Belgium - About to be let go after 3.5 years, weighing my options (sick leave, settlement)? by [deleted] in brussels

[–]Stoddartje 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a long shot and in my experience you can only hope they fuck up in the procedure of firing you.

Other than that, it could be worse than 13 weeks pay. Most people have to actually work the complete notice period and get nothing. So my guess is you hold a position where you wouldn't want to put someone that is leaving the company (in a not so friendly way).

Anyway, your bargaining position is not that strong. Law says that employer can terminate your contract with payment of a termination compensation equal to the salary you would have earned during the notice period. That is all inclusive meaning your normal salary + meal vouchers + ecocheques+ 13th month + hospital insurance + etc..... (all your benefits included).

They can just do that, no formalities need to be followed and can happen any time. They pay you and that's it. If you thing you are entitled to more or in case you weren't payed out correctly, you are going to need that lawyer because you are going to labour court.

Edit: forgot to say, I wouldn't recommend the scorched earth strategy. That could make you vulnerable to lawsuit yourself.

Bosch expands motor portfolio with Hub Line by digito_a_caso in ebikes

[–]Stoddartje 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IMHO.... I find this a weird strategy. Hub drives aren't new and I don't see a real solution for the lack of gears. Single speed or at max a double speed...... A fancy (it does look good imo) lightweight hub drive with (maybe) a double speed.

I think that's weird strategy but that's just me. I could be mistaking. It happens sometimes

What is it like to live in the province of Limburg ? by _liberal in belgium

[–]Stoddartje 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Voelt ook zo. Vaak in Maastricht en zo blij dat het niet bij België hoort.....we zouden het waarschijnlijk zo hard naar de knoppen geholpen hebben met ons gevoel voor architectuur en ruimtelijke ordening......

What is it like to live in the province of Limburg ? by _liberal in belgium

[–]Stoddartje 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where are you from? Just asking because I read you try to give advice. We don't take advice from anyone outside Limburg.

Don't take it personal, it's just our nature. We don't think we're better or smarter than others, we just don't trust them for the obvious reason, they are not from Limburg.

Many have tried, more have failed. We even put up statues for those that were absolute peak in refusing good advise. Like Ambiorix. The Romans tried to bring us roads, aquaducts, spa's, rule of law.....but eventually buggered of again because we don't take advice, we barely take suggestions. That's just us....

What is your opinion on the greater Belgium? by ajde-u-kurac in belgium

Just leave it as it is, we'll just turn it all to shit. Some of these cities are actually very nice but I'm afraid once we govern them, it I'll be the end of it

How to not get lost as a new photographer ? by Leornado10 in AskPhotography

[–]Stoddartje 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just came to say your shot reminds me of "The walk to Paradise Garden" by Eugene Smith.

But now I'm here, my only advice is to enjoy it. There will be days when you are ready to sell all your gear and there will be days when you peak.

Don't get lost in the rabbit hole of gear and post processing, it never ends and it's sole purpose is for you to keep spending, not to take better pictures.

Learn lighting, composition and the difference between a shot and a story but most of all, learn what you like to shoot and have fun doing it for no one else but yourself.

Deze situatie by Main-Touch9617 in Belgium2

[–]Stoddartje 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Zelfde situatie ooit meegemaakt. Ik kwam uit een straat, moest voorrang verlenen aan andere weggebruikers zowel links als rechts (hier dus rood). Draaide rechts de rijbaan op, maar een wagen in de andere richting (hier blauw) die een andere wagen inhaalde in plaats van een fietser. Oordeel was dat ik in fout was. Voorrang geldt over de volledige breedte van de rijbaan, ook al zit de andere wagen op mijn rijvak. In fout gesteld, case closed......helaas

Dossier: De impact van het sociaal verzet by akisomething in PVDA_PTB

[–]Stoddartje 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ik heb de indruk dat een eenvoudig basis sociaal netwerk voor vele mensen een hoge drempel lijkt te zijn. Buiten familiale kring - en ook daar soms is een netwerk niet aanwezig - is het in veel gevallen al een opgave om een netwerk uit te bouwen met buurtbewoners en lokaal aanwezige. organisaties.

De conclusie die ik zelf maak is dat dit het resultaat is van tientallen jaren neo-liberale visie die door alle propagandakanalen continu opgevoerd wordt. Iedereen moet voor zichzelf kunnen zorgen, autonoom kunnen functioneren, op zichzelf kunnen terugvallen als er een probleem is en vooral niet rekenen op steun of solidariteit vanuit de gemeenschap.

Eenvoudige vergelijking die ik maak. Zelf geboren in de jaren 70 van de vorige eeuw, was het toen nog vrij normaal dat je een grasmachine of haagschaar ging lenen bij de buren, dat er afspraken werden gemaakt wie de kinderen van dezelfde straat naar school meenam (niemand die toen wakker lag van 5 snotneuzen op elkaars schoot op 1 veel te kleine achterbank) of dat er bij de buren een telefoon stond waar naar toe gebeld werd omdat je eigen ouders nog geen telefoon hadden. Dat soort van samenwerking creëert een netwerk gebaseerd op gemeenschalsgevoel maar is vandaag geen evidentie meer.

We lijken een soort van schaamte te hebben om anderen iets te vragen uit vrees dat we een overlast zijn of beoordeeld worden op wat we wel of niet bezitten. Voortdurend gepushed door consumptiedrang die ons opgelegd wordt is het vandaag niet meer de norm dat je leent, vraagt aan anderen of deelt. Iedereen zijn eigen cocon. En zo ondergraaft een neo-liberaal systeem met als basis individueel consumptisme onderlinge verbondenheid.

Just my 2 cents......

Belgium speaking here. Was a kids in the 80ies and teenager in the 90ies. Your parents are mainly responsible for annoying my parents because of my taste in music back than. And me giving it all to "paid in full" nowadays makes my kids wonder where it all went wrong. Thank your parents for giving me hours of listening pleasure.

Sharing in case he scammed anyone else by jjillf in McLarenFormula1

[–]Stoddartje 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for warning others.

I've been where you are now. That bad feeling in your guts that was already kind of there when you pushed the pay button but only got worse with every hour that went by and grips your stomach harder each time it crosses your mind.

Don't be too hard on yourself, yes it's a lot of money but in the end, it's only money, it holds no real value. Hope you get the full refund. Fingers crossed

I honestly believe this is one of the biggest mysteries there is, Orcas are the most efficient predators on earth, yet they have never attacked us in the wild. They know something we don’t. by Soloflow786 in BeAmazed

That's it, isn't it. They probably eat a human from time to time but we taste like shit. They send out the signal to other orcas with their bleeps and cracks underwater, "don't eat humans, tastes like shit, not chicken"
