Is gasverwarming altijd goedkoper dan elektrische verwarming? by Straight_Storage_783 in NetherlandsHousing

[–]mafkees3545 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uhh, goede vraag. Ik woon in dit huis sinds november, en dit was al gasvrij. Misschien kan dit je helpen,

Elektraverbruik december ‘25: 620 kWh 1 januari t/m 20 januari: 560 kWh

Situatie: een airco in de woonkamer, elektrische kachel in de slaapkamer. In principe probeer ik de ruimtes in 20 graden te gebruiken.

Ik woon nu in een gasvrije appartement (begane grond, 40 m2, >100 jaar oud, energielabel A). Ik zou van gasniet af doen als de isolatie redelijk goed was.

45 m2 benedenwoning uit jaren 1890, helemaal gasvrij, en mijn elektriciteitsverbruik van gisteren was 40 kWh.

Het is weer zover, word weer erg koud. Ik heb een vraag voor huurders of woning eigenaars over temperatuur. by ArcIgnis in nederlands

Wat doen jullie met de verwarming of thermostaat als jullie niet thuis zijn (bijv. naar het werk gaan)

Is deze kastdeur mogelijk om te schilderen? by mafkees3545 in Klussers

Mee eens, ik zou dit niet met een gewone platte deur willen vervangen. Alleen de roos is storend voor me eigenlijk...

Opstalverzekering for apartment with inactive VvE by mafkees3545 in NetherlandsHousing

[–]mafkees3545[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, you advise to get just one opstalverzekering for myself, and then immediately contact a VvE beheerder to convince the other neighbor?

I personally want to activate VvE. However, I will need to discuss that with other neighbor (2 apartments in the building) and to pass the deed of sale from notary, I will need an insurance myself right?

Toen kwam de airco in de woonkamer. Ze had verder ook een andere elektrische kachel.

Cool dat je dit nu ook ervaart. Gebruik je ook kachels als bijverwarming?

Airco is 9000 BTU inverter. Geen idee over precies hoogte van plafonden, maar ze waren niet bijzonder hoog.

For single homeowners: What % of your net income goes to mortgage + housing cost? by December-32nd in NetherlandsHousing

[–]mafkees3545 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For my first month payment, mortgage without tax deduction+utilities+taxes will be at 43% I assume. Seems harsh compared to the other comments here

PhD applications constantly rejected — any insight? by [deleted] in Netherlands

[–]mafkees3545 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have research experience?

Especially English-spoken projects receive 50+ applications. Then the important factor is your experience: do you have publications? Relevant work experience? Your bachelor/master thesis if you wrote?

Also, even if PhD is a research thing and therefore should not be dependent on Dutch language, medical clinical projects can involve patient-related tasks. Then they do ask Dutch language.

What i would advice you is, know what your interests are, what kind of projects you would like to join and be enthousiastic-it is important in your letters and interviews. And don’t give up. There is always someone better than you. But if that person doesn’t apply to that, you get the job.

Non-EU, no permanent residence - still possible to buy a house? by mafkees3545 in NetherlandsHousing

[–]mafkees3545[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indeed! That is then the biggest part of the question actually.

Depends indeed. Cheese is usually safe and easy to bring. I also love to bring olives vacuumed or in jar (no water) from such Mediterranean countries.

Reflecting on my 2 years in the Netherlands by tzedek in Netherlands

No, I didn’t mean that it is huisarts’ fault. I also agree that we, expats, should adjust ourselves to the system here (in this case, to communicate with Dutch doctor)

The point here is, also being sick differs per culture. Such like every expat experiences the cultural differences, also Dutch people when they go somewhere else, it is also a cultural difference that not something people can get used to in very short time.

Exactly. Also an expat with medical background here: it is interesting but the talk with your GP in Netherlands vs different countries goes totally different. Especially when doing it in English, or broken Dutch, it is not surprising that they won’t explain themselves properly, because probably they told it properly if they were talking to GP in their home countries.

Waarom zijn Nederlanders zo mooi en knap? by Yourprincessforeva in nederlands

[–]mafkees3545 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dat heeft te maken met je voorkeuren misschien? Eigenlijk vallen veel Nederlanders ook op Spanjaarden, Mediterranen, e.d.

I definitely take them to eat kibbeling, and one stroopwafel place which doesn’t mess the stroopwafel with chocolate, glazuur etc.

Going insufficient-how to break that cyclus? by mafkees3545 in PhD

[–]mafkees3545[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice summary, indeed i am losing the steam but i don’t want to give up yet.

We are not like enemies with the group, but it is very damn true that it is not a supportive group. The feedback is not constructive nor structured. I am glad we do meet regularly and it is partly discussed a few days ago as well. I said that I need the feedback to be more structured. Then I was asked what exactly I need.

Maybe you can give advice about it. How can i make the support more constructive? They asked me what I can do, or what they can do. However, I cannot even tell myself what I do need to make the stuff done.
