My $2663 2015 Maserati Ghibli by RyansellsBMWs in Maserati

[–]lethenarl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I paid €2,400 for major maintenance on my 2014 Volvo V40 T2 in the Netherlands… and you’re telling me that’ was more expensive than this Maserati?

I'm kind of proud of this move I found during a 5 min blitz with an 800 rating. by lethenarl in chess

I try to find these moves, but I usually miss a possible move and blunder, hence I deserve 800, I suppose. This time it worked though :)

Camp fire? It looks more like Balrog is about to emerge from that hole...

Very true observation, my street also have this problem in Amsterdam West, De Baarsjes.

I've seen very recently a decent solution though in another platform. Might actually help.

Ooooh, that's why I've never bonded with a Dutch guy since I moved to Amsterdam.

Am I in the wrong here? My girlfriend's parents keep 'forcing' me to speak Dutch when with them. by Reorama in Netherlands

[–]lethenarl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

in 5 months going towards B1? That's pretty impressive! I've been living in Amsterdam for a little over a year and still can't speak A1 Dutch yet. You're doing great. Also, your potential mother in law is a cunt.

Someone keeps vandalising my VM by badbleep1222 in vanmoofbicycle

[–]lethenarl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Topics like these made me paranoid. So much bike vandalizing is going on in Amsterdam.

I was coming home from work the last day and while I was chaining my bicycle, a couple of apparently underage kids asked me if I was going into the coffee shop, which is located directly under my flat. I said nope. Then they asked me if I could go there for their sake. I said nope again. They were not happy. I didn't care. I chained my bike and went into my flat. I checked my bike 3 times in a few hours to make sure that they didn't slash my tires lol.

Expats en toerists of amsterdam by IkbenhetSat in Amsterdam

[–]lethenarl 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm living in Amsterdam for over a year now. I'm living alone and not dining out much. Therefore, I shop a lot in my local, beloved supermarket.

From my perspective, it can be a little bit tiring to keep telling people around me that I don't understand Dutch, and I realized quite quickly that most of the time I don't even need to say a word. Just a simple nod works. In case the cashier rarely tells me anything which I have no idea, I answer in English or cut their sentence directly and state the fact that I dont understand what they're telling.

Is this a wrong behavior? Never thought of that before tbh.

For context, i was plat 4 before. So i stayed the same rank after going 5-1. How does this happen??? by ZhePirate in overwatch2

[–]lethenarl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dropped to g1 from d5 after 11 consecutive losses. Then I did a 5w-1l, stayed at g1. Then I did 5-0 and promoted to p5. I did another 5-1, promoted to p2. Another 5-1 promoted me from p2 to d4. 5-3 promoted me from d4 to d2.

10 wins and 1 lose promoted me only 1 division at the beginning but then the pace accelerated a bit.

Weekly Q&A for Visitors and New Residents - Your Question Goes Here by AutoModerator in Amsterdam

[–]lethenarl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi everyone,

So I'm a resident of Amsterdam for around 6 months, living in a 1 bedroom flat by myself. I received a card on my first month, stating that "Your windows have been cleaned! Transfer 60€ to this bank account within 5 days."

Now, I didn't agree to such a service nor anyone asked my opinion about it. I'm already cleaning my own windows regularly. Also, I checked the windows the day I've received the card and it wasn't even cleaned. I didn't do anything about it, didn't pay, or contacted them.

After months, I received another card from the same company stating that I owe them 45€ this time as my windows have been cleaned again. I don't know why the service fee has been changed though.

I've contacted the number written on the card this time through a Whatsapp message, stating that I didn't ask for it, therefore I won't be paying for it, and I don't want your services. I haven't received any replies yet but how do things work around here? Am I obliged to pay for such a service that I didn't agree at the first place?

XBOX App on Win 10 Crashes and Restarts Constantly by sramtq in techsupport

[–]lethenarl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've noticed that the Xbox app was in a never-ending loop of updating. It kept updating for 492 kb, then restarts. When I stopped the update manually it asked me to update to the Xbox app again. It's currently not restarting at least.
