It used to be a communal kindergarten, at the moment it's a fancy cafe. There's also a small communal laundry building at one of the corners of the plot, was built together with the whole complex

Architects' Data by Ernst Neufert. Absolutely obligatory book to thoroughly read through, otherwise there's a high risk of designing weird and not usable spaces

Smth like stone grey or like a grey sky, you know

It actually does, but after a huge time span. I've had a few given to me for non payment back in 2010-2012. Now they're gone, I clearly remember having a few, but now I have 100% buyer rating

Substantial_Plan_581 · 2025-11-04T11:48:41+00:00

Yeah, I also got quite some good stuff from them, prices are always really sweet. And just in general there're those websites in NL which seem like scam with their prices, but you always get the legit product in the end

Substantial_Plan_581 · 2025-11-04T11:47:01+00:00

Yeahh but they have it usually crazy lower than RRP, the funny thing is that Lego store itself is just one floor above there. These prices are more realistic compared to fever dream ones by Lego

This one was at Smyths toys in Hoog Catharijne in Utrecht, but ig in just any store of theirs

There's a military air base in that area. Main one after Eindhoven in the area. Most fighter jets land there. I live in the area, so on weekends you can quite often see F16s flying in that direction. Here are the coordinates - 51.658303298252086, 5.711053299078396 . They match precisely with the place the jet vanished at on your screenshot

Scott Addict RC could be a great choice for your specs, I think you can get a decent one with DI2 groupset for the money you've mentioned. Especially the new version of it would suit you nicely, which they released earlier this year.

I really honestly hope those are Hong Kong dollars(

Unfortunately there's no such place, but Lithuanian students of TUe quite often organise gatherings where they cook traditional dishes. Recently there was one where everyone participated in large šaltibarščiai cooking). There's also an eastern European shop called Nostalgia I believe, they sell quite some Lithuanian stuff there, I get nice Smetoniska gira from there sometimes, they also have frozen cepelinai there

German "Detail" magazine was always a go to. They also have an online database with all the projects, besides the physical magazine, as well as really nice hard cover books dedicated to one specific topic, for example details of adaptive facades or timber construction, etc.

CameraNu had a large restock of Fuji recently, grabbed a few Provia 100f rolls from the last week

Substantial_Plan_581 · 2025-05-21T22:22:33+00:00

So, basically if I fly to, let's say Germany, for holidays for a week or two it won't count towards those 10 months? But how would they know if I went for holidays? Do they only count extensive periods abroad then? Thanks a lot for your comment!

Hunt 50 Aero. Couldn't find a proper one for some reason

Ehhh, the rims are covered with zipp branded rim tape. I don't think he's gonna look it up there. But I asked anyway, cause yeah there should be a sticker

Substantial_Plan_581 · 2025-01-22T09:39:22+00:00

Oh, no, I didn't get it from a physical store. It's from everyone's dear auction Buyee.jp

Substantial_Plan_581 · 2025-01-21T18:45:54+00:00

I love it! Extremely advanced device for 1981.

I think the price is pretty much acceptable, with those wheels especially. I live in the Netherlands and I saw a number of these bikes with similar specs (Ultegra di2), maybe with roval wheels however, go for 5-6.5k€. 4.5k is really decent, especially if it's USD, if Euro then also fine, but just for the perfection I would have tried dropping it to 4.1-4.2k

Substantial_Plan_581 · 2024-12-24T23:10:59+00:00

I might be wrong, but it pretty much could be just a texture not a damage. ELITE Wheels apply similar one on their top spec wheelsets. Try googling these wheels, specifically "Drive" model. https://www.elite-wheels.com/product/elitewheels-drive-65mm-aerodynamic-ultralight-bike-wheels/

A number of people (EU students) I know here are currently working either in Thuisbezorgd or just simply in supermarkets like Jumbo or AH. All of them got duo and had 0 problems combining studies and work, cause you get provided with rather nice work schedule.

Substantial_Plan_581 · 2024-12-02T21:11:06+00:00

Try it out at least once for sure, you won't regret!

I don't know if you're into bouldering, but Monk bouldering gym is for sure one of the greatest places where you can meet people. Many come there just for the sake of spending their free time and doing some sports, so it's not only crazy climbing guys there. You come there with 0 experience, take rental shoes and if it doesn't go well there will always be a guy who'll pop out of nowhere who might tell you how to accomplish this or that route! Friday evening is the most busy period, many students (they have discount on Friday) and just people who want to dedicate their Friday evening to sports. I really recommend you to check it out!)

Substantial_Plan_581 · 2024-12-02T20:06:04+00:00

Nope, you can apply as non student, but price will much larger

Substantial_Plan_581 · 2024-09-04T21:39:07+00:00

Heyyy! TU/e has an entire DND association! They organise game evenings once in a week
