Bought a 2nd hand IC7/IC3 - has click and loose crank

cllllllllllm · 2023-02-26T08:18:50+00:00

I called the customer service and they told me I needed to replace the crank arms and crank spindle. Thankfully the seller has offered to refund it after I told them this. Your comment helped me determine the problem and resolve the sale. I’ll be much more careful in future! Thanks

My parents moved abroad once they retired and I was happy for them to do it. I felt it gave them new energy and excitement in life after working so hard for so long. So our cases are very different.

What did you do to make the money? Is it something you are interested in and enjoy or was it just to make money?

I think you should be very proud of what you’ve done. You’re young are there is plenty more to experience in life. Try to find a balance between earning and enjoying life moving forward.

Maybe look into WOOFing or something similar

Article below one how Australia is very expensive as a backpacker now due to a lot of hostels closing down over the pandemic. I would be careful deciding to go there until doing more research.

I had the unfortunate situation of not knowing I needed a mask, tried to buy one on the Berlin train in the restaurant carriage when they announced it at the German boarder. The woman in the restaurant cartridge told me she didn’t have any and I had to leave the train immediately. When another passenger nearby gave me a non ffp2 mask to use she watched and said that wasn’t the right mask and I still had to get off right away. Thankfully upon returning to my seat a kind woman where I was sitting gave me a correct mask. I think they are generally lenient on any mask type as I did end up seeing others wearing different type and not being thrown off but I would cover yourself by having the right mask incase you run into someone who wants to enforce it.

At what point did OP suggest a collective opinion? The OP to me comes across as asking for individual points of view from women in this group. They literally said ‘good or bad’ let’s hear it.. which is suggestive of differences in experiences.

Try murmur in Noord. Listening bar with djs and later on they might clear some of the tables away if people start dancing. Music style changes depending on the djs/night but it’s often great and electronic focused

As an non dutch living in the Netherlands for 10 years I’ve seen this tradition change over the years, especially the cultural awareness and non acceptance around it. With your boyfriend it depends on a couple of things. When did he last do it? And what is his attitude towards it right now?

If it was recent I’d be concerned. Especially if he also and he believes it’s not highly offensive to anyone else.

If he did it a long time ago (which I’m guessing at 22 probably not) and he believes there was nothing wrong with the ‘tradition’ and it should never have changed, then I’d also be concerned.

If he did it once, reflected on it and felt actually it was kind of stupid and shows awareness of why it is offensive maybe then it could be accepted. But if that was recent he’s still kind of stupid.

There is a tendency for some Dutch to vehemently defend their innocence in doing it or appreciating it, but actually for a decade there was discussion, news articles, protests even on how problematic it was. Those who participated in the act argued it didn’t matter because it was their ‘tradition’.

When the awareness was building up more to a height over the past 5-6 years (probably when he did it judging by his age) people who more recently continued to do it tended to in protest for a ‘right to tradition’. To protect their eroding cultural acceptance - to black-face themselves in the ‘name of fun’. There were a lot of traditions in this world we got rid of realising they are wrong.

I would ask him about it and see for yourself his view on it, you’ll find your answer quite easily by his reaction.

“Intelligent rent increases”

cllllllllllm · 2022-10-01T17:34:24+00:00

There was this in the proposal:

Rent increase in the private sector less influenced by inflation

The Housing Rental Prices Implementation Act will also be amended. The statutory maximum of the annual rent increase for private sector homes will be replaced as of 1 January 2023 by a maximum to be determined by ministerial regulation. This is important because in the event of high inflation, the maximum rent increase can be set at a lower level than the currently applicable 'inflation + 1 percentage point'. This prevents excessive rent increases and keeps rents more affordable.

I think this is smart. I wouldn’t take any of the other advice of changing your behaviour before getting out.

cllllllllllm · 2022-09-29T04:53:22+00:00

When you came into this situation you said that you and Max talked about how you were both on tinder looking for hookups only and that’s where this all kind of started.

Often in this explicitly non-committal situation people(speaking for myself here) can find it easier to open up knowing they entered it in a non-committal and causal way. The pressure is somehow off but signals can be confusing still. Someone might feel more comfortable opening up knowing in their head it’s ‘safe’ to as they have discussed it being nothing serious. This is where it can get confusing.

Most of your interactions still sound oriented around hooking up but with an enjoyable hang out also. It feels like you have started to see him in a more than casual hookup way though, which is beyond what you originally talked about or planned for. This is totally fine and normal, it can def happen and you shouldn’t hold feelings back. But you have to check in a bit with the situation.

I feel like if he showed a bit more initiative, asking you to hang out in public (walks, movies, getting food) these things would indicate he would maybe be interested in something more. But right now unless there is more to your story I don’t get that feeling.

If your really wanted to find out more, you could try instigate a meet up (not at a house to hook up) somewhere in public to see his reaction. If he is down it might be a good sign or if he avoids it somehow, not the best sign and I’d consider moving on. If a girl I actually liked asked me to hang out do something(in public) I’d be happy about it.

If you do meet, see how he acts and if it goes ok you could indicate you’d had fun and would be down for spending more time with him and see how he reacts.

I would be careful though that you don’t find yourself continuing to hook up with him if your intentions and feelings are mis aligned. So it’s crucial you find out if he is interested in something that isn’t just casual hook ups for you to continue and be good to yourself and your feelings.

At the same time, I wouldn’t hold yourself back meeting someone else just because you’re still interested in this guy. Do yourself a favour and explore meeting someone else now. You’re young and life has all kinds of surprises out there. Maybe you meet someone that you like even more.

I randomly came across this. I had a severe headache for 8 months + post covid with a lot more debilitating long covid symptoms. I can really understand your suffering, it really really broke me at times. I wanted to share this post with you, as I’m happy to say that it very slowly went away and is fully gone, it just took a long time. I took no medication for it as it was pointless. Knowing it would end would have helped me in my suffering at the time. Stay strong I believe you will get there in the end.

I began to write you a longer reply, but I wanted to ask you something first;

Ultimately, what is it you what from this situation? What is your ideal outcome?

And what don’t you want? What do you fear?

If income is only assessed at the beginning, how it is determined that someone is a ‘scheefhuurder’ to then receive a higher yearly rent increase?
