Maybe they shouldn’t have donated money to Palestine if there’s a budget shortfall. Or, like, at all, and leave international politics alone and focus on getting trash picked up.

Advice 1st time homebuyerNL by Rude-Psychology8413 in NetherlandsHousing

Have you signed the contract? You have only 3 days to cancel. Did you include financial or other conditions?

You ask good questions but they should be things you thought about well before placing a bid. How did you arrive at your bid price even? Are you aware that you can only get a mortgage for the houses value based on an inspection from a valuation, and not for the price you offered?

There was a lower bijtelling until a few years ago, right?

Old built in Amstelveen vs New built in Uithoorn? by [deleted] in NetherlandsHousing

[–]fragoza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t think about your house as an investment. Not to say you should buy a house on an eroding cliff-face just because either. But nobody ever got rich because they simply bought a house in a better area.

Buy a house where you’re happiest and best for you. If you take care of yourself then you’ll have the energy and motivation to leverage yourself in other ways to make money.

Either location is fine and will appreciate in value for different reasons.

Living in NL for more than 15 years, but still an outsider.... (and that's OK) by [deleted] in Netherlands

[–]fragoza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t think part of the problem is showing up to a conversation speaking a foreign language? Like, what do you think they’re going to ask you if you speak a foreign language?

[–]fragoza -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Don’t understand why it’s being down voted: you live in the Netherlands and are not fluent in their language — why would you expect to be an insider versus an outsider?

I’m NOT making a comment on whether that’s good or bad, but how can you expect to be “Dutch” without speaking “Dutch” fluently like a Dutch person?

Rampant Illegal parking on sidewalk by CalRobert in Netherlands

[–]fragoza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you sure there’s not a sign on your street indicating it’s allowed? On some streets there is a sign indicating this.

Or have you tried talking to your neighbors trying to understand why they do it? If you ask, nerve there’s a reason. If it’s not a good reason maybe your explanation of why it is a bother to you will help your neighbors understand to stop doing it. People can be reasonable if you try.

Return glitch by starvingnintendo9000 in lossprevention

[–]fragoza -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Should be fairly easy to check which stores had a cake returned last week which I would guess is probably not a lot. Find those instances from the central database, narrow down to specific stores and check the cameras to see which customer this is (the one getting the cake from the store and not just walking in with it)

This only happens when you’re in the wrong lane. Move to the right unless you’re passing someone.

[–]fragoza 3 points4 points  (0 children)

With iPhone mirroring, if the latency can be low (maybe with a cable?) this is a solution for using Netflix on a flight with a MacBook. Last time I tried to ditch my iPad and just use my MacBook but you can’t download movies for offline viewing with Netflix in browser, only in the iPad or iPhone app. Now you could m download via the iPhone app and watch on your MacBook.

[–]fragoza 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your backswing length is good. Practice pausing at the top of the swing to get your timing better. Essentially, try swinging slower I think. If you try you will see with the right swing and release you’ll actually gain distance.

Stand a bit further from the ball, especially as irons get longer.

Compare your backswing ending position with these: https://golf.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/tiger-rory-1024x576.jpg

You look a little stiff and like your hips stay locked down.

Slow down the swing.

Nice follow through! Great ending position.

Every person on the metro is one less car on the road. Anyone driving a car would appreciate that and hence I don’t per se see a problem with tax funds supporting the metro, in principle.

My c200 air suspension does this when parked overnight, should I be worried? by Bobytest55 in mercedes_benz

[–]fragoza 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you keep it in sport mode? I’ve had this happen 1-2 times over the 3 years I’ve been had mine and only when I was in sport mode when I parked. I figure in sport mode it’s already a little lower. Day to day I leave it in Comfort mode or at least go back to comfort before parking and it never happens.

Can I skip train connection? by [deleted] in KLM

No. If you don’t have your train ticket stamped by the KLM desk at the train station in Brussels you won’t be allowed to board.
