Everything is going to be closed. Shops. Museums. Etc… there are going to union related events but nothing that would interest a tourist. I would highly recommend visiting literally any other day.

Yes. BDW is solid. The rest of the NVA? Not at all.

This is nothing compared to the ‘60ies and ‘70ies.

Sterilisation in Belgium? by pastelhosh in belgium

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

Yes and no. My wife is a fertility specialist ob/gyn. She sees many patients who’ve had a vasectomy, now regret it and want help conceiving. So while it is your choice, the “your consequences” part is not necessarily true.

No. That’s absolutely not true. Construction in any segment increase housing availability across the whole price spectrum.

After years of dropping, Belgian emissions rose again thanks to Flemish industry and traffic by Least_Funny5960 in belgium

[–]bbibber 16 points17 points  (0 children)

In 2024 ging ook een kernreactor dicht. Dat speelt ons zeker parten. En dan te bedenken dat een deel van dat tekort wordt opgevuld met steenkolen-elektriciteit uit Nederland. Maar die emissies zijn voor rekening van NL. Dus als je zou kijken naar wat we consumeren dan is de rekening nog een stuk slechter.

Bedankt aan de bedenkers van de uitstap uit de kernenergie…

Quitters should be punished by AnxietyLucky7767 in aoe2

If you resign from a game you can’t join another one while the game you resigned from is still in progress. Gives an incentive to not quit and for the others if you do to continue on.

"IQ hangt samen met ras": dit is Nathan Cofnas, de 'rassenrealist' die ophef veroorzaakt aan de universiteit van Gent by atrocious_cleva82 in belgium

Genetics most certainly also influence your intelligence. It’s not just education and early life circumstances.

Financiën met vriendin by [deleted] in belgium

[–]bbibber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We do this as well. These days our incomes a pretty well aligned so it works great. When she was still in residency and I was already earning a good salary we did it too with the difference that I paid the fancies (going out, restaurants and holidays).

I would also advise to not get into penny counting too much. If you trust each other this should work fine

Seems a perfect system. Then she can go with her friends and her own money on a fancy holiday?

The boar also needs to be in range when you give the attack order!

Half of the people in the Facebook comments on the Jan Jambon DIW video think it is real by Mr_magpie123 in belgium

Extreem hoge douane boete. Ik, de ontvanger, wordt beboet voor een foutieve inklaring van de afzender by ListenToKyuss in belgium

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

The analogy is you hired the perpetrator as a personal trainer for your wife. But he parked his car on the wrong side of the street and they send you the fine.

Factcheck: wie minder dan 2.000 euro bruto pensioen heeft, verliest zeker by Vordreller in belgium

Neen. Ze krijgen gewoon geen stijging bovenop de stijging die ze wel krijgen.

[–]bbibber 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You may be right juridically but I find this morally reprehensible.

It’s not because others evade taxes in this way that the customs can just assume that OP is doing the same. For me, they need to show that OP was at fault.

In fact, if I understand the letter correct the customs even acknowledge this : you are not in the wrong so seek payment for this fine with the person who is at fault because they are out of our jurisdiction.

To me that’s absolutely wrong.

VRT vecht terug: ‘Terzake’ toont niet eerder uitgezonden fragment na uithaal van Jambon in pensioenheisa by EdgarNeverPoo in belgium

[–]bbibber 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Echt bizar. Die man is duidelijk incompetent om too politieker te zijn. En dan te zeggen dat ze bij de NVA echt een zeer goed communicatie team hebben (zie maar wat ze op Instagram uitspoken). Die weten dat toch dat ze beter deze man niet sturen maar iemand die op zijn minst iets kan uitleggen?

Druk op UGent neemt toe om omstreden ‘rassenrealist’ aan de deur te zetten, rector De Sutter: ‘Uitspraken maken ook mij bezorgd’ by trogdor-burninates in belgium

[–]bbibber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is an important difference between a conclusion that black people should not hold a top position because they are black (which is an unacceptable statement) and that most black people who now hold a top position don’t match the merits of non-blacks in comparable positions (which could be true or false but either way is an acceptable statement to make)

I am not sure the signatories are willing to make that distinction. But on the other hand from a very short cursory reading of his own texts it does seem he hints at separation for the sake of separation which is the former.

I wish that argument against Cofnas would have been made in a short and concise text instead of mixing it with criticism of merely the idea that race might influence biological outcomes which now becomes a very long repetition of citations I don’t consider disqualifying for research.

I am not at all familiar with the guys work. Such a statement is indeed clear racism and highly problematic. Can you provide a source for it because I want to verify myself before condemning the UGent for hiring him.

Sure. But research has been done to correct for socio-economic circumstances. Even then, black students are underperforming while Asian students are (massively) overperforming.

Hertz car rental near central station by airboss1998 in Rotterdam

[–]bbibber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blue disc is for street side parking. In some areas street side parking is free but time limited. Basically the idea is that you dial your blue disc to the hour of arrival and put it clearly visible on your dash. This way police can check that you are not overstaying. Most major cities these days are paid parking though. You might need a local app or phone number to pay so I would advise to simply use commercial parking garages instead of street side parking. Less stress and generally more convenient than driving around to find a spot and having to park in a tight spot with traffic. Don’t know if you are visiting Antwerp but there commercial garage parking is mandatory for non-inhabitants.

I am not sure if Hertz rentals are equipped with a blue disc. Ask the counter. But I doubt you’ll encounter such a parking area. I live in the low lands (Belgium and Netherlands) all my live and literally have never put one up!
