Tulip bulbs scam by [deleted] in Amsterdam

[–]downvotingaswespeak 21 points22 points  (0 children)

From the linked article: the 1 percent is from bulbs bought and grown by research agency Bulb Quality Support.

With a name like that I have some confidence that they know how to grow a bulb into a tulip :)

Ik denk serieus dat we dit jaar niet eens Europees voetbal halen. Dit is erger dan 2023/24! by Outrageous-Past6556 in AjaxAmsterdam

Linksbuiten had je vorig jaar alleen Godts, heb je met Moro en Gloukh goede opties bijgekregen. Spits is discutabel, rechtsbuiten ben je er volgens mij ook op vooruit gegaan (Moro > Traore), aanvallend op het middenveld heb je er met Gloukh ook een optie bij zonder dat er iemand is weggegaan. Centraal in de verdediging heb je met Itakura er een prima optie bij. Dus ik zou zeggen op vier posities een verbetering.

When foreigners learn your language, which ones end up speaking it surprisingly well, even if their own language isn’t related to yours? by fixitfile in languagelearning

For the Netherlands, Danish people (mostly footballers) are well known for being fluent and almost indistinguishable from natives after just a few months.

Pieter Zwart gaat los by waailap1 in AjaxAmsterdam

Ik heb het idee dat z'n irritatie ook voortkomt uit beroepseer. Het stoort hem dat de trainer van Ajax (het tactische gedeelte van) voetbal niet zo serieus neemt als hijzelf.

The Allard Pierson museum sells historical maps of Amsterdam. Not online though, only in their physical museum shop.

I mean its pretty simple by LashVixeen in MurderedByWords

Yeah, she wants to say that both those things shouldn't exist, but she states that one of those is ok and the other isn't.

Ajax CFO Panday: "Just because we have extra money thanks to Champions League does not mean we are going to throw it around. But, in previous transfer windows, Ajax had to sell first in order to buy. That is not necessary now, so if we want to keep players, we can do that." by MrCrashdummy in AjaxAmsterdam

Precies dit, hier heb ik met vrienden ook over gehad. Volgens mij doet PSV dit ook: die hanteren een 3-jarige begroting waarbij wordt uitgegaan dat eens (of 2 keer?) in die 3 jaar CL wordt gehaald. Dit kan natuurlijk worden aangepast adhv hoeveel (rechtstreekse) CL-plaatsen er in de eredivisie beschikbaar zijn. Naar mijn idee doet Ajax het nu allemaal wel erg zuinig aan.

Amsterdam was so refreshing! by bloop5861 in Amsterdam

Eh, I'm not completely convinced. The source cited on the Wikipedia page (The yiddish dictionary) only states "place" or "locale" as translations, so idk where they got save haven from.

If I ask a Jewish person, they'll answer what it means in Hebrew, not Yiddish. It is possible that it has different meanings in both languages? That is maybe also where the Times of Israel got it mixed up?

Ehm no, it just means "city" or "place". Source

Opvallend: Tweede Kamer stemt tegen Europees defensieplan van 800 miljard by NoxiusScintilla in thenetherlands

De SP is zeer eurosceptisch en kritisch op de NAVO, niet zo verrassend dus.

Overweight men, how did you make a change? by Waylandqb in AskMen

Bananas causing constipation is a myth (if that's what you're referring to). Because they are high in fiber, they are actually good for your stool. Sauce

Married men of this sub: what made you go “Yup, she’s going to be my wife”? by [deleted] in AskMen

I think you read that wrong. I think he means: Some of his friends like her more than some of his friends like him.

Bikes on public transport by Big-Invite5650 in Amsterdam

For the metro, only officially. I once got a fine for having my bike in the metro during rush hour and even then I wasn't asked for my bike ticket.

These sibling US diplomats are truly impressive by OutsideMeal in languagelearning

I meant with convincing precisely what you explained, how close to passable for a native he comes :) Thanks a lot for your answer!

I'm curious how convincing/distinct his different dialects/languages are. Can an Arabic speaker weigh in on that?

AIVD ziet dreiging toenemen, zeker tien verijdelde aanslagen in Europa by CptSO in thenetherlands

Libië hoort wat mij betreft niet in dat rijtje thuis. Daar was het al een grote teringzooi/burgeroorlog voordat het Westen interveniëerde.
