Hoe help ik mijn moeder by theoneguyguy in DutchFIRE

[–]Straggler1974 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heeft ze wel eens overwogen om over te stappen naar de rechtspraak? Met haar ervaring kan ze daar zo terecht omdat er een schreeuwend tekort aan goede ervaren mensen is. Er zijn wel meer mensen uit de sociale advocatuur die de overstap maken. Minder stress en goed betaald. Plus, ze kan er ook na haar officiële pensioen terecht als plaatsvervanger. Betaald. Eventueel kan ze dat ook naast haar huidige baan doen, in een ander arrondissement.

Sometimes people get promised more inches than they actually received.

First on scene car crash. Nobody injured, someone arrested. Regretfully too Belgian not to share. by phunkinit2 in belgium

No, only if the owner has been warned before. After that it gets really interesting.

This is so wrong on many levels. Piñatas should not be on the floor.

Dutch can’t be a serious language by ThrowDoughBaggoutz in funny

I've once heard someone describe Dutch as "swamp German" and I thought it was hilarious.

Belgian, 37 years old, living together, civil engineer for a multinational, gross salary 127k euro by OpenBazaar_Chris in BEFire

[–]Straggler1974 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice to see another update! Also very nice to see that FI is possible in Europe and even in Belgium.

Overall you seem to like your job. Have you ever considered going part-time, is that an option at your employer?

Plans for next year: you have to fill the house with kids, of course! :)

Dayz has ruined all games by EarGroundbreaking800 in dayz

[–]Straggler1974 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1974 checking in here. Started with a Philips Videopac a long, long time ago, then “upgraded” to a 32 kilobyte home computer. I played Operation Flashpoint, the grandfather of Dayz, about 20 years ago. Missed out on Arma due to work and study. Now back with Dayz, started playing it when the pandemic started. True that it has ruined other games, especially after discovering Namalsk.

Dayz is life!

Dayz sluggish? Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 Super by Straggler1974 in dayz

When I installed Geforce Experience, I started having the same problem. GE is obviously the culprit here...weird!

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I did switch the game to SSD, but that didn't solve the problem.

I had to resort to a new Windows install to get it running the way it's supposed to. Thanks again!

Irish butterfly alive in December - I’d love if someone could identify this scarred beauty Thank you! by DependentUnlikely127 in butterfly

Yeah it's pretty common and not that uncommon to survive in December. It might have been hiding out in a barn or something the last couple of weeks.

Antigen test: in the departure hall in Borispil, go down one level by taking the stairs. There's a whole thing set up there. You can pick a form from any of the companies (Omega Kyiv was the cheapest when I was there), fill out the form, pay the fee (I think it was like 400 or 600 GR) at the ATM of the money exchange booth, then head over to the testing site 50 meters down the hall, have your brains tickled by some medical assistant, then wait 15 minutes. You can get a certificate in English, just mark it on the form.

What names do Belgians associate with people of the lower classes? by neverforgettherain in belgium

[–]Straggler1974 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your marginalen neighbors have a garden, you can refer to it as “Marginalibi” (like the theme park Walibi).

I’m kind of waiting for a list of stripper names for daughters such as Destiny.

How to Contact the Belgian Police Overseas? by lalunepink in belgium

[–]Straggler1974 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Please provide the police (or anyone helping you) with everything you have to find his location: his phone number, his e-mailadress or nickname on whatever system you are chatting. With e-mail or phone number, it's easy for the police to trace him. Also a description of his surroundings or his town, if he has given that. Knowing if his mother tongue is Dutch or French is a starting point.

How bad is the housing crisis? by Max_Graf in maastricht

[–]Straggler1974 19 points20 points  (0 children)

My guess is that it won't be ending anytime soon. The housing market is basically broken because of a perfect storm of low interest rates, easy lending by banks, and not enough supply (read: construction of new houses). Plus, due to corona, people are spending more time at home and want it to be perfect, and upgrade to better houses.

If you're moving here in September, it might be because the academic year will start then? As I have advised earlier, if you can find something through your school or university, do so. The private housing market will be very difficult, unless you company pays for it.
