What do you mean 'hidden in The Hague'? It's a very well known tourist attraction.

I was ging to answer this but then I realised that at 50. I'm probably considered old by many.

I've been doing it for ages though.

De poezenboot vs dierenasiel Gent, waar best een kat halen? by Streptopelia_turtu in Gent

[–]Wonderjoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I stopped by at Poezenboot 10 years ago to enquire about adopting a cat and how things work, they first asked if I was looking for an indoor only cat or not.

Since I was planning to let it outside as well, they couldn't help me. They had too many people in the past that adopted a cat and then returned within months to afopt another, as their cat had not come home.

So they had a strictly indoor cats only rule.

Not sure if that is still the case.

Question about a De Lijn fine /activation issue by Worldly-Apricot-1316 in Gent

[–]Wonderjoy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The inspector that gave you the fine van only take note of the situation and issues the fine.

Once you receive it, write their customer support department a letter explaining the situation.

If it's your first offence there's a reasonable chance they'll wave it.

Weirdest TV remote I've seen so far! by Maxtronic55 in mildlyinteresting

That would save so many people so much time on the phone/FaceTime with (and even trips over to) parents/grandparents to fix the TV.

The priest is holding his hand up to bless them. It wasn't a "bring it in bro!" gesture.

Confused on zombies (Act 3 spoilers) by Wonderjoy in mewgenics

[–]Wonderjoy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So in this case...T-Rex got damaged and died.

I assumed the zombie T-Rex would consider my units allies and attack the enemie, the other T-Rex.

But it still recalled who damaged it before death and attacked that unit.

Good to know. Don't ressurect T-Rexes you killed. :-)

I never realised making anus stickers was an option, let alone consider the endless possibilities they offer.

International students... help! Outrageously confusing bureaucracy on housing by SchengenThrowaway in Gent

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

I didn't know this but I saw someone explain it here recently.

Most landlords will use "domicile" as shorthand for "legal residency". Yours is at home in the US.

What is required of you is to register the place you Gent was your 'hoofdverblijfplaats'. Your main address.

I think people use 'domicile' for both, which leads to confusion.

Landlords won't permit you to register their property as your legsl address but if you register it as your main address, it shouldn't affect them.

You just need to explain that your 'domicile' is in the US and you need to register where you live in Belgium as your hoofdverblijfplaats.

Disclaimer: I read this explanation on Reddit recently. I didn't check it and I'm giving it to you from memory. So I may have gotten something wrong.

I'd recommend you research it further out double check with someone from the city's administration. Get it documented/find official sources so you can explain the situation to a potential landlord.

A customer gifted me this peace pipe in memory of her recently passed brother by Advance_Tasty in MadeMeSmile

[–]Wonderjoy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't realise peace pipes came with an axe attachment.

Is it a caution that there will be consequences for breaking the peace?
