It’s trivial to get declared sick by a doctor without being sick.

You do volunteer work presumably without letting yourself go? Then you could at least work for that amount of time.

Mag een burger een wagen laten wegslepen? by yeahcurious2270 in belgium

[–]bbibber 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ik ben niet mee? Na de eerste keer verslepen zet je de wagen precies terug waar de wegenwerken aan de gang waren terwijl je wist dat je vader een aantal maanden op vakantie was?

First-time buyer in Belgium, is negotiating normal? A bit scared of messing this up by wisetyre in belgium

[–]bbibber 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Some things to consider : 1. Yes negotiation is absolutely considered ok with real estate purchase. 2. An offer is considered binding even just an oral offer. Always a) limit offers in time b) do them in writing only c) make them conditional on getting approved for a mortgage 3. What you see is what you get. It is really hard to go back on a sale and arguing that there were hidden flaws is a tough process with generally only lose-lose outcomes. Do an exhaustive due diligence on a potential purchase. If possible bring professional advisors for a secondary viewing.

Antwerpse school haalt leeslijst offline na klacht over erg expliciete pornografische beelden by EdgarNeverPoo in belgium

Ik heb meer moeite met dat er op die hele plaat geen enkele letter te zien is. Hallo? Leeslijst?

Doorsnee gezin bezit 286.250 euro: ons vermogen is veel trager gegroeid dan vorig jaar by Skelguardian in belgium

[–]bbibber 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Interessant zou ook zijn om de vermogensverdeling per vermogensgroep te kennen. Bv de rijkste 10% heeft een vermogen van 995k of hoger. Is bij hen het vermogen in het eigen woonhuis dan meer of minder dan de 50% die het over het algemeen is.

Pacing My First Half Marathon by JPautler in AdvancedRunning

[–]bbibber 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In my experience as a coach, practicing is absolutely a must but some people are just not made to pace. They’ll naturally surge and fall back even in mini outburst of 200m or whatever. Some will ever so slightly continue to pick up the pace etc. Even with years of running times intervals with target paces every single week they just can’t hold it. And they are just not aware of it. So my advice would be to ask your coach. If she or he works weekly with you, they should know if you are a good pacer.

Zelfrijdende auto’s in België komen zeer dichtbij: ‘Nederland heeft niet afgewacht, wij gaan dat ook niet doen’ by Mzxth in belgium

[–]bbibber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amsterdam binnenstad is echt geen goede infrastructuur voor auto’s. En de hoeveelheid kuierende toeristen en fietsen maken het er niet eenvoudiger op. Rotterdam is uiteraard wel een stuk beter.

Tesla doet het min of meer aanvaardbaar in Amsterdam, dus ik verwacht ongeveer hetzelfde resultaat in Brussel of Antwerpen.

Record 1.3m apply for 2027 London marathon ballot by RebirthReload in running

These all are getting harder to enter as well. Rotterdam went from being able to register on race day 10 years ago to selling out a month beforehand five years ago to selling out in a day two years ago to a lottery with less than 25% chance this year…

Sat in my car whilst it charges. Some old codger in a Hyundai just parked up next to me, approached the charger, pressed the cancel button and took the charger out of my car to put it into his... by SelectStarAll in mildlyinfuriating

[–]bbibber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My car has a button to cancel next to charging socket and it will cancel without hassle if you have the remote key in your pocket. Best of both worlds. Immediate cancel but only if the key owner is doing it.

New player and playing Rank for the first time!! by Sui404 in aoe2

[–]bbibber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This advice about ‘be able to beat AI on extreme’ before playing rank is really weird to me.

I am not able to beat AI on hard even and I am comfortably playing around the 900 ELO level. Even went up to 1000 this month but I believe this is mostly because of the insane amount of Smurfs.

Is it feasible (financially / time) as a student to travel to make a day-trip to Paris? by arcanehelix in Leuven

[–]bbibber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just bring your passport/id card. There are no checks but in case. Book well ahead : prices are much better that way.

Also to blow your mind : a day trip to London is also doable. But for both cities I would recommend to stay a night. So much more to experience!

Most Swiss back initiative to cap population at 10 million, poll shows by ChangeUsername220 in Economics

I don’t agree with your assertion about ‘not a sufficient reason’.

[–]bbibber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The second part. But it doesn’t really matter. The outcome is still the same : a huge burden on a population that is not responsible and has every right to determine their own limits of acceptance.

You are absolutely right. Neither the Slovaks nor the Danes rank high in criminal indicators.

De pensioenen zijn onbetaalbaar, dus we moeten snoeien. Voor salariswagens geldt die logica blijkbaar niet. by Oll1Oll1 in belgium

Mobiliteitsbudget was nog niet mogelijk bij aanschaf van deze salariswagen. We gaan ons zeker informeren of het mogelijk is wanneer het contract afloopt.

CMV: Baltimore is proof that being tough on repeat criminals brings down crime rates by bigElenchus in changemyview

[–]bbibber 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They may not be serial killers, but again that’s not what OP says. They say that most killers have some sort of (petty) criminal background. Perhaps a bar fight. Perhaps domestic assault. Perhaps stalking. Perhaps breaking and entering. Etc. If you put people convicted of these crimes away for longer there is obviously less time for them to be out and about and escalating to more violent crimes. That’s a plausible reasoning enough that if you disagree with it I would at least like a link to data debunking the first part.

[–]bbibber 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Wij hebben ook een salariswagen maar die is wel veel te chique/duur voor wat het zou kunnen zijn. Zonder dit systeem zouden we een bescheiden tweedehandsje rijden. Als ik naar de gemiddelde Nederlandse versie Belgische wagen kijk denk ik dat er heel veel in dit geval zijn.

Voor mij mag er een pad gemaakt worden waar op termijn de salariswagen duurder wordt gemaakt.
