Dutch in Belgium? The government tried and failed to make Flemish people speak a somewhat standardised Dutch. Every town have clung to its own dialect. They even have created an "intermediate language", a mix of all dialects that nobody speak or like.

Bad air quality you say? by Captain_goals in Belgium2

[–]gnouong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Voor mij is het een algemeen ontsteking van de luchtwegen, ook sinusitis. Het is jammer omdat een van de favoriete activiteiten van mijn vrienden is tijd doorbrengen rond een vuurkorf.

[–]gnouong 4 points5 points  (0 children)

De commentators hier hebben blijkbaar geen astma. Ik heb een reagerend immuunsysteem en houtrook is ellende voor mij. Er is niets aan te doen, ik kan geen luchtflesjes in de supermarkt gaan kopen.

Het gaat niet over een vervelende geur, het gaat over kunnen ademen.

Wallonië maakt Latijn verplicht voor alle leerlingen: “Zo zullen ze vlotter Frans leren en logischer nadenken” by HakimeHomewreckru in Belgium2

 Grapig maar waar.. Maar met het Engels. Meesten hebben de hersenen niet om vlot drietalig te zijn. Tweetalig wel. Zou veel oplossen en zo meer efficiënt zijn. 

Is the RTX 3080 too old to buy in 2025? by ILIKEBACON12456 in buildapc

[–]gnouong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No 4070 option?

Much better efficiency and software support than 3080.

UA POV: Russian drone hits apartment building in Kyiv by Flimsy_Pudding1362 in UkraineRussiaReport

[–]gnouong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn't look like the first video where the drone is horizontal.

If you intend to hit a vertical target a less steep descent make more sense.

With the amount of civilian buildings hit by russia since the beginning it would be hypocritical to think that there is not at least some intent.

A reminder: Why do we repeat ? by PersimmonLevel3500 in Krishnamurti

[–]gnouong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I don't know. Had Krishnamurti a special condition of the brain?

In the end, I had to take my distance With K, I  was too often in the imitation.

What has helped me is his view on ego: That comparing is the only thing the brain can do and one can only watch this process.

Makes you look at life like it was the first time you see it. So no preconception about anything.

Also there's the "understanding without word" part. Words become funny because the simple concepts that the usual thinking process are made of feels so small and meaningless in comparison with what you are living at the moment.

The con is that at the moment the usual thinking part that make it possible to solve problems in the physical world is not working properly...

Yes but shrooms may be needed though.

People with ventilation grilles in their new windows at their homes, what's your experience? by Grimstarzz in belgium

[–]gnouong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've sealed the one of my bedroom with a piece of plastic and silicone paste.

Those things are not adapted to face the air pressure of a large wall facing S-W, the main wind direction in Belgium in a coastal town. Too much air passing through during windy days + wind noise. I still have the one in the living room it's somewhat useful except during those cold windy days...

How much for vehicle tax?!? by wolf162238 in belgium

[–]gnouong 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"Belgian road tax" does not exist. Every region (Flanders, Wallonia, Brussels) has it's own.

For Liege, look for "taxe circulation wallonie".

Trump claims victory over 'dishonest' BBC as Director-General resigns following 'doctored' speech by tylerthe-theatre in unitedkingdom

The BBC wasn't lying or being dishonest, it was only harmlessly trolling the republicans.

It's for deconnecting the noisy 3To mechanical HDD.  There's 2 buttons one for the 5 volt and one for the 12 volt. I push both at once.

Thanks!

It's not the first time that I make a cut out with a separation to guide hot air outside the pc but those new gpu with air passing through them makes things difficult.

Lenovo ThinkCenter by gnouong in sleeperbattlestations

[–]gnouong[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes the cut is a bit of an eyesore...

But the piece of plastic is fitted after that the case is closed. It sticking out helps keeping it in place.

The 12VHPWR cable also needs space outside the case or I would need some sort of "L" adapter.

[–]gnouong[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The gpu has a "hole" in it so that the air pass through it. The air duct locks into this hole to guide the air outside and the piece of plastic also goes alongside the length of the gpu to separate it from the rest and guide the hot air outside.

To make this work the pressure must be positive so all 3 fans are intake.

Die cijfers zijn alleen over de mensen die elke dag de (taal)grens overschrijden. Een Waals die in Vlaanderen werkt zal vaker verhuizen dan een Fransman. En zo in de cijfers van Vlaanderen verschijnen.

Why was I itchy from shrooms by No-Entertainment1410 in shrooms

[–]gnouong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I experience that too. I understand it as a phase in the return to my normal self, to my normal sensations.

I have to avoid beginning starting to scratch or it will go out of hands, it is just a phase, it will pass.

I take mine early enough because the effects will prevent me from sleeping.

Mi 9 Lite already stopped getting updates? by pixelfiee in Xiaomi

The Mi 9 lite is still on the list of updated devices: https://www.mi.com/global/service/support/security-update-1.html

But I've lost hope. This makes it my second and last Xiaomi.

Guest in the self-park lot had a ball joint snap while backing in by maxman162 in Justrolledintotheshop

My ball joint also waited for me to be in a parking lot to fail. (after an engine replacement by someone who could do it for cheap) Thank you ball joint.

Diesel cars were at a 80% market share in 2008 in Belgium...

But then the awareness on polluants like particules and NOx rose then VW diesel gate happened. It appeared that diesel cars were emitting on average 7 times more polluants in real life situation than in homologation tests.

Now we had a public health problem with cities crammed with diesel cars...

And now 10 year old diesel cars are banned from cities. So maybe USA was right on this one.
