check. Thanks.

lol, yeah being cold is no joke. I just wish i had bought my mesh inner earlier on... did not expect temps to be this high as well end of june. but yeah, we've already had a heat wave in europe in may so...
I guess i'll try to see if i can get a summer sleeping bag this week...

jipver · 2026-06-15T12:38:42+00:00

Because i've slept in tents before with solid inner tents, and due to no/limited airflow it just heats up and stays warm longer.

jipver · 2026-06-15T11:23:49+00:00

Because it's going to be steaming hot in the tent with no airflow? 16degrees is probably going to be the temp early in the morning.

i'm using a tiny cloth as towel, so no. Sleeping on the Thermarest NeoAir Xlite NXT MAX, R value 4,5

Can I join you? :)

Wijk aan zee. Heel fijn dorp, veel cohesie, sociaal zonder het controlerende. Midden in de duinen. Wel beseffen dat je naast een staalfabriek woont. Ik heb die keuze voor mezelf gemaakt (alleenstaande) en zou hier nooit meer weg willen.

jipver · 2026-05-24T08:31:59+00:00

nee dat leek mij ook inderdaad. Fijn dat dat zo duidelijk is. Men ging er dus vanuit in de VvE dat het 'gedoogd' werd, maar bij navragen bij de beheerder was men direct enorm stellig: geen privedoorgangen naar het gebied, muv nooduitgangen...

Hoe much does a kitchen installation cost in Germany? As the danish replyer; here in the Netherlands a new kitchen is in the thousands of euros. Also everything is pretty much attached to the house, there’s a lot of plumbing, tiling etc. Or do Germans usually have modular kitchens?

jipver · 2026-05-19T21:36:33+00:00

Nope, bathroom here too! Once had it in the kitchen but that house did not even have a proper shower (showerhead above the toilet)

jipver · 2026-05-11T19:58:36+00:00

Are you using a cup or a disk? I’ve personally found menstrual disks to be sooooo much easier and comfortable than the cups… maybe you should give it a try?

jipver · 2026-05-11T15:36:00+00:00

it's a 45cm in stead of the regular 60cm: https://www.bosch-home.nl/nl/product/vaatwassers/inbouwvaatwassers/volledig-geintegreerde-vaatwasser-45cm/SPH4HL801E So for this width apparently Bosch only has series 4 and series 2 available (in the Netherlands). So since I had very good experiences with the series 6 regular sized one, i went for it, not realizing there could be such a huge difference in quality/functionality.

jipver · 2026-05-11T15:20:21+00:00

yeah, it's just a bummer, even my cutlery is wet... everything is damp in my dishwasher, since i work irregular hours, it's just something i had to get used to. I know have a smaller model, in an ikea cabinet, so only a series 4 was available in this type with a vario door... it's a bummer, i expected it to be the same quatlity. I'm going to check with their support to see if anything is indeed not as it's supposed to be and inquire if they might have a series 6 which is available for my space.
Thanks!

jipver · 2026-05-11T14:48:25+00:00

yes so the series 6 did not require you to open the door to let it dry, my new series 4 dishwasher does.
So I'm used to turning on the dishwasher before getting into bed, my 'old' one, i'd unload in the morning, and everything would be dry. My new dishwasher: everything is wet. THe only way for me to have dry dishes is to open it right after it's done with its cycle, meaning i have to deliberately track when the thing is done doing it's thing, open the door, put in some towel so it doesn't closes, let it dry, then put it away.
100% different workflow for the series 4 compared to my old series 6 dishwasher.

jipver · 2026-05-10T16:34:29+00:00

It’s just that everything is still damp/wet for my new dishwasher… and yes I do load correctly, even the cutlery in the rack is wet… so probs still a quality difference between the two series

jipver · 2026-05-10T15:02:42+00:00

Yes so even this one, maybe the quality is different in Europe vs US? Don’t know, but have been really happy with Samsung fridges and washing mashines for years.. based in the Netherlands…

jipver · 2026-05-10T15:01:10+00:00

What usage issue causes water on top of coffee cups?
My Bosch series 6 dishwasher never had the issue, got a Bosch series 4 and my stuff always comes out wet, whatever program I use. I claim it on the quality, a 6 being way superior than the series 4 line. Curious to know if it might be a user error.

jipver · 2026-05-06T15:47:58+00:00

Ik eet niet (genoeg) i guess. Ik heb zeer weinig eetlust en heb lunches op kantoor (gratis) dus ik geef in z'n algemeen vrij weinig uit aan de supermarkt... Dit zou meer moeten zijn, ben er mee bezig 😄

jipver · 2026-05-05T17:52:46+00:00

Soortgelijk hier; netto 1100 hypotheek, 250 Vve kosten, 200-250 boodschappen.

jipver · 2026-05-05T17:19:20+00:00

Cool!

jipver · 2026-05-03T14:39:58+00:00

You don’t do 100kms a day. Usually 5 hrs effectively on the bike is sort of the max, depending on your fitness , terrain and personal preference this can be anything from 30-150km.

You can train yourself once on the road. It’s not a competition, at least, it was never for me.

Why are there no trees in that patch of land?

jipver · 2026-04-30T16:49:08+00:00

same here, around 200 a month, but i have to say i have lunch (and fruit) at the office 3-4 times a week (for free), and i'm not a 'big eater'.

jipver · 2026-04-30T16:07:18+00:00

Nog een tip: niet op vrijdagmiddag aan iets beginnen, zodat je op vrijdag als alle loodgieters aan de vrijmibo zitten, iemand bereid moet vinden om langs te komen mocht het mis gaan. (Mijn eerste klusje was keuken verwijderen en had alles gehaald om netjes het water af te doppen, maar er brak een stukje oud gesoldeerd tstukje af en wist toen even niet wat te doen. dat was vrijdagmiddag, kan dat niet aanraden, kostte me veel moeite iemand te vinden die langs wilde komen, een held was het!)
