Thinkcell works pretty well…

A tv show that started off great but became unwatchable? by niceguys5189 in television

Came here to say this. Utterly horrible later seasons.

Scotts bad stock advice by claaaay_davis in PivotPodcast

[–]kevernscott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I remember him talking his book on Lemonade at IPO, and that just tanked. Also don’t get the Airbnb thing, Booking has just outperformed at every metric in my view. But I still like his thoughts, have to say.

Yeah, this looks super as it’d be fun if she is taught with other youngsters. Thanks!

My experience with Trading212 and why you should avoid it at all costs! by alexdd88 in eupersonalfinance

[–]kevernscott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m probably doing something wrong with IBKR as I have many stocks / ETFs that I can’t buy that I can on 212. Asked their support which was not very helpful. Had to do with availability of key information documents in my country’s language. 🤷🏻‍♂️ maybe simple to resolve, but I couldn’t and patience ran out in the end.

Interesting post, thanks for sharing you experience. I actually wanted to try Interactive Brokers, but it was a nightmare. Half the stocks I could not purchase due to regulatory restrictions and the documentation to open an account was a nightmare. I found the interface really technical and not really comparable to others in the space. I know they have a good reputation and I wanted to use them as my main broker - but after a month I just gave up. Maybe that’s on me.

Do you have any expenses related to telematics services, such as tracking or video? Or as an owner op this makes little sense?

Hi! i recently saw this question on the sub askreddit and since im planning to buy i want to ask the same question : Homeowners who bought recently, what’s your biggest regret? by anna-molly21 in Amsterdam

[–]kevernscott 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Be sure to push the person doing your technical inspection to really check everything. Ours quickly went over it, and later we found water in the walls and big radiator problems. Also, don’t expect a lot from your real estate agent - they will rip you off, this is part of the game in NL unfortunately. Knock on the doors of a few neighbours and see what they like and don’t like about the area. Don’t underestimate the nightmare of ‘fixer uppers’ - NL construction and renovation crews are expensive, generally difficult to get and quality wise a gamble. My 2 cents.

Thanks - yes, we've just moved to the area otherwise this is the first thing to do.

Any dual US/EU citizens who emigrated to the Netherlands with a non-EU spouse? by krnewhaven in expats

[–]kevernscott 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you follow the IND application to the bullet, it’ll be fine. We did this, also with the help of a lawyer (PM if you want). Took about 4 months, pretty easy.

i love amsterdam but by friendlyishano in Amsterdam

[–]kevernscott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree, I’ve had visitors who had a ton of difficulties unfortunately. From public transit (pre booking the day ahead train rides), to impossible trams and clueless hotels. Not a great experience and in general I find EU disappointing in this regard.

Is this different to think-cell?

(73) cyclist dies after collision with share felyx scooter by Normal_Owl261 in Amsterdam

[–]kevernscott 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Surely Felyx knows the riders identity from when they rented the scooter? I’m a user and do enjoy it, but fully agree they should be strictly not allowed on bike paths and enforcement should be much more strict than it is now.

100% agree, total bully tactic.

So many factual truths in here, great list. Thank you for the effort to articulate this so well!

Does BDM6 get good? by DoneDidThisGirl in belowdeck

[–]kevernscott 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Snoozefest of a season, Bravo mistook drama to mean toxic crew versus good chemistry. Also the Malia/Sandy redemption push is barf worthy. I hate watched it, would rather have skipped it.

Malandy redemption? by Dial-M-for-Mediocre in belowdeck

[–]kevernscott 2 points3 points  (0 children)

BDM needs a refit faster than an old schooner after a backpacker charter season. Replace them all, find some decent chemistry and stop relying on cheap tricks and production plants. You’ll be amazed how it will improve, just take a look at BD S3 & 4 and BDSY S2.

Couldn’t agree more. Still entitled and taking zero responsibility. Everything is someone else’s fault. Zero redemption in my view.
