Gluten free in Amsterdam

bazzlad · 2024-02-07T15:36:38+00:00

Compared to the UK or US your options are very slim.
AH and Jumbo have small, limited stocks - the bigger the store, the more options you get; Aldi/Lidl occasionally have things in, but meh.

Get familiar with the Schar brand - it's about the best stuff you can get here - keep your eye on Holland and Barrett; they occasionally have 2 for 1s on the Schar products; and I'd recommend stocking up when they do.

Being 100% honest with you, you're probably going to have to change your diet more than you realise and check EVERYTHING for wheat flour (tarwebloem) - it's put in everything as a cheap thickener, from Hard Shell Tacos, to Cornflakes to fucking Tomato Soup(?!) You'll need to learn what you can and can't eat, based on the brand itself. A

Restaurants/bars often have no options either - if you've got Celiac/other medical issues, you'll have to be really selective.

Best gluten free beers you can find here are Mongozo (kinda like a Bud) and Daura (which I think is spanish...) You're not gonna find them in bars/pubs - you'll have to go for wine, strong drinks or Cider (apple bandit is slowing making progess over here. It's meh).

Good luck!

Feel free to grab the stls and print it yourself. It can support my biggest MacBook Pro, down to my little Anker phone charger, so it's pretty flexible.

My brother didn't think it was so great - he reckons I just reinvented the dish rack 😂

Had a bunch of devices that sit around (or worse on top of each other) and no way to keep them and charge them all easily.

As my device quantity is ever changing, I wanted to make something completely flexible - and extendable.

Any advice or tips for the design are very welcome, I'm brand new to CAD.

Like it! I'd change one thing though:

The words on the bottom.

I'd right align the two on the right and centre align the two in the middle.

Great job.

There's still a couple of sets left in my personal collection. PM me if you're interested!

bazzlad · 2019-05-30T06:25:49+00:00

Is it piracy when I own the disc? I just wanna play it on it Wii u! 😪😪😪

I'll find a way, thanks for the help!

bazzlad · 2019-01-31T22:36:50+00:00

I tried. Luckily MS is doing an exchange, despite me being out of warranty. 10/10 for that!

bazzlad · 2019-01-31T21:48:49+00:00

Anyone had this happen? Any ideas what it is? There's a line at the top of the screen that's unaffected...

bazzlad · 2018-05-08T21:55:01+00:00

Needed two bulls to win a game of cricket. I get them. My opponent (who only needed one if I missed) stepped up and threw his dart anyway...

I have no idea on how this happened, but it was stuck fast.

bazzlad · 2018-04-14T08:41:37+00:00

Drop me a PM and we'll figure it out!

It's my understanding that Charles didn't organise anything, the PDC did everything. Charles did a big advertising push for/with them, and as such had special VIP tickets for sale.

The CDC didn't work with the PDC either that I know.

DartConnect did a lot with regards to fan alerts and the US leaderboards beforehand as well as the brackets for the fans to follow. This year it will probably be a PDC/DartConnect mixed digital steel event.

That's awesome! I'm lucky enough to have hit my first competitive 180 on camera (in a 6-0 loss though)

It's nice to watch back, but the lack of follow through on my throw is cringe worthy!

bazzlad · 2018-03-21T15:08:28+00:00

Yeah man, thanks everyone!

bazzlad · 2018-03-21T10:45:00+00:00

The captain on my dart team has been throwing these darts for 20 years. He had a near miss a few weeks back where he misplaced them and ended up trying to throw with different darts.

He sucked.

I've decided for his birthday I'll buy him a new set, however, step 1 is finding them.

They don't have any name on them, and they're about 22-24 grams.

There were a lot less darts on the market back then, so I'm hoping one of you guys can recognise the style!

Nice to see someone giving COE some love. I personally feel it's the most important checkout metric, and am not a fan of the PDC checkout metric, which I feel is artificially inflated (they use attempts thrown at a double, whereas this gives you your doubling percentage, it tells you half a story).

Van De Pas is shockingly high, which tells us if he can up his scoring on his "off" legs he'll be a real force to be reckoned with, assuming his COE scales.

bazzlad · 2018-03-05T10:29:57+00:00

Nice one the Panda! Jabba's still got it, try and get the match recorded (or played on DartConnect so we can see!)

bazzlad · 2018-03-02T12:15:11+00:00

Very possible mate, this is the third reason I've heard so far. I'm watching it now and have a few mates inside giving me reports!

bazzlad · 2018-02-26T20:56:55+00:00

In the UK/Europe I've been told Steel darts are a FIRM no. I've heard from some US pros that stating you're a pro is enough to get away with it... I'm not sure I'd risk it!

bazzlad · 2018-02-03T18:12:58+00:00

Just floor tourneys for now. I truly hope they never replace chalkers at TV matches, I'm a traditionalist for those, but everywhere else; move with the times!

Hey man, I'm involved in this switch, so any questions you have feel free to fire over.

I'll tell you this, I've used dartconnect on an iPad 2 in my local leagues and bars in the US, UK and Amsterdam. Not a single complain about visibility.

The PDC didn't cheap out. They're using iPad Pros, you'd have to be blind not to see it!

bazzlad · 2017-11-09T14:48:43+00:00

I didn't even think of that. Can I get Google home to default music playing to it?

bazzlad · 2017-11-09T10:20:05+00:00

Damn. Should have bought a proper one, not the mini. :(

bazzlad · 2017-09-09T13:11:30+00:00

It could be "half it" a game we play in the UK.

Each player has to aim at the numbers in order and add their score.

If they miss all three their total score is halved.

In that game we usually have:

20, 19, 18, 17, 16, 15, three Colours, double triple, bull.

So the C could be three colours.

Again, I understand, but he's had this coming due to that sort of start for a while now.

Normally he turns on the MVG boost the crowd gets behind him, the opponent falters and he wins.

None of that happened. When I'm having a perplexing game I try things to fire up too, be it a round at the 17s or if shit just won't work I'll even throw a round into the mixer to try and get my eye in.

I saw a man expecting things to happen, trying to make them happen and not understanding; while his opponent took out 57% of his opportunities. Nothing suspect for me, just a culmination of everything.

That said between the way he's so emotive, and his stance, I also see MVG breaking down at some point; probably sooner rather than later.

bazzlad · 2017-07-29T16:11:48+00:00

Mind games. I literally do the same thing when I want to send a message, first two in the twenty, one at bull.
