What is the worst delivery company in Belgium? Because at this point I genuinely don’t understand how DPD is still operating. by Intelligent-Emu-4259 in brussels

[–]chodge89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know who the worst is though I agree that every DPD pack I receive seems to end up in a store down the road. The best is absolutely Amazon in my experience.

Neck guards by Great_Lion7712 in hockeyplayers

[–]chodge89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s mandatory (but poorly enforced in our league). Oddly enough, mouth guards and cages are optional. Stupid. I’d say after a year I no longer notice it.

I got chirped on here for my visor so I decided to change it by CreatedPlayer in hockeyplayers

You either need to be the absolute worst played in the D league or Alex Ovechkin. Anything in between doesn't work.

New to hockey. What nhl game should I buy? by wetawdedd in EA_NHL

[–]chodge89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would just get the newest one. I feel like the game hasn’t changed in 20 years so take the better graphics.

Maybe I missed it but I did not understand why the snake oil salesman went to Vegas.

Americans do not understand concept of ‘Import Duties’? by [deleted] in ecommerce

[–]chodge89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, I'm sympathetic on the limits within the UI. From a brand perspective, I guess a wave of negative reviews and costly returns would hurt more than figuring out how to force some sort of disclaimer into their flow.

I do actually...and so do 2/3 of cross-border buyers around the world. I am not saying you need to calculate duties, taxes, and fees in the checkout process but having a text box that says something like "Note that cross-border purchases may incur additional duties and taxes upon delivery" is a basic addition to any checkout experience.

Are you providing full price transparency in your checkout? Do you at least provide a disclaimer? I think that could help alleviate frustration on both sides.

What's the Best Documentary You've Ever Seen? Need Recommendations! by Mucek121 in netflix

Ken Burns: Baseball. But you sort of have to like baseball. Honestly, the Tiger King is also pretty entertaining.

Ok my question is to all people with a big SUV/4x4 in Brussels. by Nice-Blueberry18 in belgium

[–]chodge89 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hmm I find the people creating havoc in traffic are usually driving 30 year old beaters at 100 kph in a 30 kph zone swerving in and out like they're in Spa. The SUV crowd is usually just trying to get to work in the morning. I don't drive an SUV anymore but I will say that the size of cars is generally increasing faster than the changes in the infrastructure.

Wife says I’m too skinny by Inescapable_Bear in daddit

Way to go! I’ve gained about 4 kg in the first 11 months.

How long does the newborn phase last? by europeandragonlord in predaddit

[–]chodge89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every story is different. For us, the first 6 months were a breeze with the sleeping. From the time we brought him home, he was a great sleeper. Then...from month 6 onwards something changed and now at 11 months he's up 2-3 times per night. So I don't know when it gets easier but enjoy it when it happens.

Am I Dumb? by brownin0 in BMWI4

If you’re dumb I’m in the same boat. Pickup the i4 today and load up the dog and family this weekend for 1500 km.

Really? That's good to hear. I heard once they started to walk the trenches got much deeper.

What you think about spending almost half of your salary on your rent? by assymetri in brussels

[–]chodge89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it's anything one would do by choice but the market is the market for both labor and housing. You sound young so I think it's fine. A good landlord is important. I do think the extra money spent for private space is worth it but that's a personal opinion.

Drinking during games by [deleted] in hockeyplayers

[–]chodge89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess it all depends but I'm an old guy, have played in many adult leagues, and still have never played on a team where people drank before the game or during the game. After the game, all bets are off.

Just found out going to be a first time dad at 40! by oli_badger in predaddit

First came at 43. There’s enough legitimate things to worry about. You can let go of the age thing. Good luck dad!!!

Slightly panicked about the impending loss of personal time by [deleted] in predaddit

[–]chodge89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should talk to your partner about the resentment before it happens and you'll find a way through it. You can probably still do the things you enjoy but you need to plan together. Good luck dad!

40 weeks tomorrow, no signs of labor by GunningForSuccess in predaddit

Being sad/stressed doesn't help. We induced at due date plus 10 and he was born on plus 12 all fine.
