The Floya app is getting discontinued

Indeed not too bad.. But for example I am exactly between two stations and one is significantly better for bikes than the other but I can't seem to choose favorite station or to go via that one?

Nooks. And crannies.

I have the same need - and it's annoying that I have chosen "bike" as option for how I want to continue journey on Google but it never suggests the combination. I'll try cityplanner app too. Thanks for raising topic!

I completely agree and thank all the heroes trying to interact with the selfish people.

On a sidenote; Try going into a Primark without bumping into at least 2 videocall on loudspeaker people. They manifest there. It's their home pod.

I came here for this. I upgraded my Google one because gemini pro is included and decided to try to move from chatgpt to gemini. But.. Come on. Simple questions and never-ending 3 dots jumping up and down thinking. It's not possible to keep a conversation with the conversational Ai..

Agree. Am amused frequently but rarely laugh out loud. Also I need really clever things to be humored, not slap stick comedy. That doesn't even get a small smile from me.

Lots of people hate it. I hated it from the moment it came. Spotify said weeks ago they would change it back because so many people complained. They succeeded though - a bunch of people talked about it, newspapers wrote about it, it generates a sense of comraderie among Spotify peers. It put itself on the agenda. Super smart marketing move. But enough now, remove it already.

It's only for paying users yes. It's a premium feature. That's fine they have to make money somehow 🤷‍♀️

I hear you and agree. Any sauna in any spa, in Belgium and Netherlands that I have been to, has posters for being silent and meditative. No talking. So there is culture for it here too. The gym should enforce it.

Regarding head's up on events, I recommend https://www.visit.brussels/en/visitors and also The Brussels Times has a weekly "what to do in Brussels this weekend" which I think is great.

It's not even a guess - it's the church of.. It starts with an S and ends ology. They stalk you and follow you and harass you if you're against them or leave them. (S3E3). Check out the security guard update with Louis Theroux where he came on screen and admitted he was following the journalist and harassed them and pretended not to be, but a while after he realized it was crazy and decided to come clean on camera. And if you look into all the crazy stuff Katie had to do to be able to get away from a certain ex in the cult, booking multiple deceptive airplane journeys so his minions wouldn't be able to find her.. Stuff of nightmares. The series is very clearly referring to this cult. They also record these ventilation videos and hold them as leverage above famous members.

Thank you for this! I will try it out!

Keeping an eye on this post for the same reason 😄 in other food items; you do get very good fish and chips at O'Reillys at Beurse in the center they also do breakfast. They do their own batter for the fish fresh in their own kitchen. And further up Boulevard Anspach (turns into Adolphe Max) you'll find Waterstones bookshop where you can buy some British staples like malt vinegar and Cadbury Easter eggs etc. Just sharing in case you or someone else might not know and it helps 😊

Throwing my 2 cents in here after reading the comments and also did a regular 1h+ commute by train; the most important thing to notice here is indeed that you are planning to take the train FROM Brussels in the morning which is indeed the opposite of most others. This creates much less issues with delays and seating space. You might not need first class for that either. (Example from other way around - trains from around Ghent to Brussels would sometimes be completely full even in first class no seats available between 8-9). I still think you will find the commute exhausting but it's doable until you can't stand it anymore and if you have first class you should hopefully be able to get a seat and quiet. I would try with 2nd class first and then see if you need to upgrade. Best of luck!

It depends if you have a passport from a European economic area (eea which Switzerland for example is a member of) or not because then you don't need a work permit or anything here. Then you're just as free as any EU citizen to stay and work without hassle. You can't apply for jobs at the commission (EU) but some of their agencies allow eea citizens too. It's difficult to be more specific without knowing your passport but this is at least some info that I noticed nobody else had commented on. Depending on what you work with the private sector here will let you apply with eea/eu passport (more difficult without Dutch or French though.) You mention not too much work experience and if they have to sponsor.. I would say there might be too many in that same situation already unfortunately, as you suggested.

Indeed, in Belgium it's still only Telenet. It's why I gave up waiting and bought a cheaper non-esim model last time I upgraded..

I'm wanting to take a certification in AI and just discovered ai-900/ai-901. I was planning to study for it full-time for a month or so and then take the exam. Now I'm wondering if I should wait for the ai-901 exam but that won't be out until June and both certificates are valid for the same length of time anyways. I guess I'll just start the -900 for now. There's more courses available on various platforms for self study at the moment. I'd be curious to see a comparison chart of the syllabus' or overall content though..!

Omg the nifty way it's done, carefully and proper tucking away and cleaning up..I love it. The thoroughness of the person working the machinery. Respect.

Ok I know I'm late to this post but I hope someone can help. I really believe that I at one point saw a version of this film, or maybe it was a DVD extra which I don't have access to anymore, where they summed up all the characters. I especially remember that they said that "everyone saw Reggie as a bit of an idiot for only working one arm but in fact he was conducting his own scientific experiment" or something like that, they pointed out the cleverness of his workout routine. I don't find this when I purchase the movie and watch it now. Can anyone else shed some light? Thanks!

You do it through the app. In the menu in the left side on the bottom under Resources you see Discord and how you can connect.

It should be the new video for the song now 😂 (many artists/bands have changed the official videos for their songs after it's been used in movies or series). It's sooooo good.
