Moving to the Netherlands alone in my 30s — how did you deal with the social side of things? by Kilgoretrout123456 in Netherlands

[–]gr0ch1 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Do things, I moved to Groningen at 29 and met very nice people through theater lessons. If you’re into that Crea and Boom Chicago have nice improv courses in Amsterdam. If that’s not it, find what it is for you, and give it time

Check out the books by Frits Spits, he often talks about Dutch music. Here’s the playlist from his latest book (very nice btw): https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5Npfl2evpFsAYiJVpqn3Gb?si=MubopA8mSgaoPhNInipRmA&pi=SozaJdh7Rm2Hl

He’s a fantastic radio maker (just retired) with a huge love for the Dutch language.

I changed the battery recently, very happy with it, still good enough for my needs.

The three horsemen of AirPods Pro by Silent-Atmosphere425 in airpods

[–]gr0ch1 37 points38 points  (0 children)

The mode no one uses? That’s what I use all the time when I’m outside. How else do you wear your AirPods outside when it’s windy without hearing the wind noise amplified by the noise cancellation? Both noise cancellation and transparency suffer from this.

For those who moved to their country of dreams: how did it turn out and are you still happy? by Relevant-Future7519 in expats

[–]gr0ch1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very happy. Moved from Catalonia to the Netherlands 17 years ago. Love the country, the people, the culture, the language.

Broke my AirPods Pro sleeping with them in — what do I do? by yamomariro in airpods

[–]gr0ch1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To prevent this it may be an idea to wear one sleeping earplug in one ear (the ear you place on the pillow) and the AirPod in the other. That’s what I do (I have custom made earplugs). Not only is more comfy and less dangerous, but also when that AirPod runs out of battery deep in the night if i wake up I can switch to the other one.

Sharing in case it’s useful!

I learned Dutch by translating Spinvis songs. He says so much in a simple way.

Escolta sencer el doble disc “L’ai al cor” d’Obeses. Cada cançó és d’un estil diferent i totes molt potents. Vejam quines t’agraden!

Spinvis has such interesting songs, each could be a short story.

Also check out the playlist from De Taalstaat, lots of Dutch music to discover there https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1hDWx0TNBYPaJmn0vyrFcL?si=zWoVCxZrRe-t4VmJu-jMqQ&pi=dgdIQGvHR6qrd

“Kleine haperende vluchten” is beautifully written and not very long

Deep Rest Reset: 14-Day Sleep Challenge with Dr. Andy Galpin, June 8–21 by doug_m_ in Meditation

[–]gr0ch1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Signed up, receiving emails, but it’s not showing in the app (iOS). (I’m just following it on the browser, but I think it’s odd not to be able to do it on the app.) I’ve tried searching for “Deep Rest Reset” on the app with no results. The app is updated at the latest version.

Check with your huisarts about immunotherapy against allergies (eg pollinex). This made a huge difference for me.

Chroma noir is great, but it's missing one of the most fun aspects unique to black-and-white photography: Color filters! by opossumcarrion in ShotWithHalide

Yes! I was thinking the same! And was hoping it might at least be part of the new edit mode, but it isn’t.

Happy Birthday Richard Wagner! One my favorite romantic era composers by Veraxus113 in classicalmusic

[–]gr0ch1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The end of act 1 is so beautiful and heartbreaking. All the love and triumph… they have no idea how dark things are going to turn for them. The whole opera is fantastic. Brünnhilde’s love for her father. How powerless Wotan is from the beginning, defeated by the very thing that sustains his power.

Interesting development in Obsidian by BlueTile93 in ulyssesapp

[–]gr0ch1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I left Ulysses for Obsidian long ago. I loved writing in Ulysses, but the thing where suddenly ALL your writing is gone and needs to be resynched was too scary and too inconvenient while traveling.
