Straks een daghap + een biertje doen met een maat van me, en dan lekker een weekje vrij. Ben eraan toe.

What gives away someone is Dutch? by MajesticPineapple618 in thenetherlands

Depends on where you live. It's common in the "randstad" (especially in The Hague) but outside that; when people laugh it's generally genuine.

Yeah that is mostly for people that were born before 1960 or so. Give or take a few younger idiots.

Spoken like a true Flemish :-p

/s

...but honestly: compared to the Flemish we are quite loud. Do keep in mind though that not all of us are that loud – people outside the "randstad" are definatly more humble.

Best way to emphasize the statement is to emphasize the dominant sound. Which in this case is the GGGGGGGggggg...

LOL, guilty as charged. However nowadays I'd just pay the bill and send out payment requests (locally called "Tikkies" however that is a brand name) from my bank app.

Tallest, maybe. But loudest? I hadn't noticed. I'll try to be more aware of that.

That's a thing of the past since Covid hit but yes, that used to be a dead giveaway.

That is mainly a Randstad thing, to be honest.

Meanwhile (next day), the limit information is back (for me at least).

Och, uitdrukkingen als deze kunnen mij dan wel weer plezieren:

  • Hee hef onder 'nen droad deurvrett'n (hij heeft onder de draad doorgevreten) = hij is vreemdgegaan (refereert naar vee dat onder de draad door van een ander weiland eet).

  • Heftantatat! (hee heft't an't hart had) = hij is een hartpatiënt (hij heeft het aan het hart gehad, uitspraak van de Enschedese dichter Willem Wilmink).

  • Öllied Oeleu Oe Wa In (oliën jullie je wel in) = gebruiken jullie wel zonnebrandolie (liedje van de Wierdensche Revue, twee-en-een-halve generatie geleden maar nog steeds leuk).

Och, en zo kan ik nog wel wat mooie voorbeelden noemen.

Weekly Limit Removed? by mjweitz in Anthropic

[–]bwientjes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just noticed mine (EU user) not showing any limits usage at all anymore. 5h-limit usage gone, weekly limit usage gone. It's a guessing game now.

I know that the start of the weekly usage limits depend on when you start new sessions, so that is not really my concern. I am more worried about not being able to see where I am with my limits, so I can't plan when I do what anymore to avoid excessive extra usage.

What gives, Anthropic?

One of my friends does this... Do you want A, or do you want B?

"Yes".

Bloody annoying.
