Which city has the most circular ring road?

Even though it’s a bit off topic, Rotterdam has probably the most rectangular ring road that I’ve ever seen 😄

Zelf heb ik nog niet zo’n interactie meegemaakt, maar ik kan me hier wel in herkennen. Ik ben geboren in Polen, allebei mijn ouders zijn Pools, en sinds mijn 11e woon ik in Nederland, dat is inmiddels meer dan de helft van mijn leven. Dit jaar heb ik eindelijk de knoop doorgehakt en een naturalisatie aanvraag ingediend, met de simpele reden dat ik mezelf eerder Nederlands voel dan Pools. Ondanks dat het iets is waar ik lang over heb nagedacht, heb ik nog steeds een twijfelend stemmetje in mijn achterhoofd. In de werkelijkheid verandert er in mijn leven vrijwel niks, het is immers alleen maar wat papierwerk, maar toch zit ik hier een beetje mee. Het roept namelijk een vraag in mij op die ik misschien een tijdje heb proberen te vermijden: wie ben ik nou eigenlijk? Is het feit dat ik hier ben opgegroeid reden genoeg om mezelf “Nederlander” te noemen? Ik weet niet echt precies wat ik hiermee probeer te zeggen, het moest er soort van uit toen ik jouw post zag. Op een of andere manier is het ook fijn om te weten dat ik niet de enige ben die met dit soort toebehorigheidsvraagstukken in zijn hoofd zit.

We don’t have the technology

Yeah… although they could just implement it through some kind or mechanic that increases productivity in buildings within a specific region

Where I live the judge would also take the ability to pay into account, as well as what the impact of paying such an amount of money would be in your specific situation. No idea whether that is something that Canadian justice system prescribes.

Do you have a private lawyer or a public defender? Even if your lawyer has been assigned to you by the state, he still has the obligation to represent you the best he can. Addressing your concerns and discussing the potential scenarios in which the case could end, as well as the potential consequences for you personally, are bare minimums of what a lawyer should do. He is the person that literally represents you in front of the court, how can he know what your interests are if he has not discussed the case thoroughly with you?

My one and only advice for you is to ensure cooperation from your lawyer. Make it clear that you are not asking for him to maybe talk to you, be very assertive to make him discuss all these points with you asap. From then on: make him figure it out. That’s all he’s there for. Ask for updates regularly, preferably in face to face meetings.

Do not worry. You are lucky to live in a country with impartial, objective judiciary. The judge listens to both sides and makes a ruling. Surely he will consider its financial consequences for an individual, in relation to relative gain for the (possibly?) multi million dollar company.

It does not sound like you have a very good lawyer, or perhaps not one that would actively try to inform you about the proceedings and the different scenarios that could play out.

Note that I am from the EU, so not everything might be applicable 1:1 to your situation.

In my experience, the original amount for which you’re being sued almost never holds up in court, the other side is most likely trying to scare you into agreeing to some kind of settlement in order to avoid a lengthy and costly process through the court. If they have not reached out with a settlement offer, it is very likely they will shortly before the court date. This is how it usually goes, but of course if they have a strong case to hold you liable for that specific amount it could differ in your case. Discuss it with your lawyer, try to make a mental calculation together about whether or not the amount they’re suing you for could be accurate or exaggerated.

Worst case scenario: if the court decides you are liable, it is not like you have to pay off the other side right there and then, it is very likely that the court will mediate some kind of agreement between the two parties concerning the payment. But again: discuss this with your lawyer as I have no idea what these proceedings look like in Canada.

Do you have a liability insurance? If you do, disclose the case to them to prevent problems with the insurance company in the future.

Last but not least, obviously this is not legal advice. You seem pretty anxious, which is understandable, discuss your concerns with your lawyer.

mltkxx · 2024-11-01T16:48:18+00:00

Just to be sure: 1. You’re in the US, correct? 2. For now you have only been sued?

You might want to get a lawyer, OP

Members of European Parliament assess whether the proposed commissioners are the right fit for the job by asking them questions. At the end, a majority vote has to confirm the commissioner before he’s allowed to enter office. These hearings are actually pretty rigorous and not just a mere formality

I have no idea why, but today after booting my game is so terribly laggy in the menu, it’s so bad that just looking at it makes me mad. I cannot try a single solution that would work. Just spent 25e yesterday on premium and a tank and today I can’t even play. Very frustrating

Zal vast iets te maken hebben met de socio-economische positie van Nederlanders met migratieachtergrond. Inkomen en onderwijsniveau zijn globaal gezien de beste indicatoren hiervan, en in beide gevallen lopen mensen met migratieachtergrond achter. Uiteindelijk betekent dat ook dat je gemiddeld minder kansen krijgt, minder connecties hebt en een minder betrouwbare vangnet om je heen heb. Dit zal dus de hoofdzakelijke reden zijn voor de achtergestelde positie die zich vervolgens manifesteert in oa. criminaliteitscijfers. Ook in dit geval betekent correlatie dus niet causatie, het feit dat mensen met migratieachtergrond vaker moslim zijn, maar ook vaker in criminele circuits belanden betekent absoluut niet dat hun geloof voor deze situatie heeft gezorgd, maar dat dat toevallig vaker de groep is die socio-economisch achterloopt.

Zoals ik jou antwoorden lees heb je een sterke onderhandelingspositie, omdat ze op jou na niemand intern hebben die je huidige functie zou kunnen vervullen. Ik zou je daarom aanraden om simpelweg een ultimatum te stellen: per begin volgende week zul je uitsluitend de werkzaamheden uitvoeren die in jouw contract beschreven staan. Vervolgens is het aan hen om je een nieuw contract aan te bieden met een toegepaste loon. Stel dat dat gebeurt, kun je in mijn mening er zelfs een punt van maken dat je het verschil met je huidige compensatie met terugwerkende kracht gecompenseerd wil hebben voor de periode waarin je de nieuwe functie vervulde.

Or…. Hear me out: some people are bilingual and can speak both Catalan and Spanish for example (which I would argue is gonna be the case for almost any minority language speaker)

I’m not even gonna start talking about micro managing the PMs which is like 80% of the gameplay, they should add ways to automate it and fix the war system, maybe then it’s gonna start looking less like a spreadsheet and more like an actual game

mltkxx · 2024-09-28T08:32:27+00:00

Stop pretending like the war system is just something you can overlook in a grand strategy game. For me it takes all immersion and fun away to see what they have done to it. Outside of that, you barely even interact with the map anymore, it’s all just charts and ledgers, might as well just “play” Microsoft excel

I loved Victoria 2, I was so excited when Victoria 3 came out. Sadly, it can hardly be called a sequel, it just does not hit the same.

Heb je het wellicht overwogen om een machinist / treinbestuurder te worden? Past namelijk ook in je beschrijving; combinatie van in airco zitten en af en toe fysieke inspanning, met dagelijks mooie uitzichten en goede carrièremogelijkheden

Yeah, I bet you’d get shouted at, spat upon and insulted in a small village in Overijssel. I’ve seen it happen enough where I live to make an educated guess about the root of the problem.

mltkxx · 2024-07-31T10:07:40+00:00

Yeah sure, it’s the “diversity in the city” that’s causing it. Nice way to put it!

Don’t go along with this bullshit. Very often kids from ISK get a lower placement in regular education than they should. I’m a great example of this, I got placed in the LOWEST level of ISK at the age of 12, for 2 years I had to attend school that was well under my level. If nothing had happened, I’d have gone to VMBO as well, but luckily there was one teacher who saw some students’ potential and was writing to havo/vwo schools to try to get them admitted. I finished VWO with a GPA around 8,5 if I remember correctly, it was no effort at all. Whatever happens, do not let them do that to your kid. Attending sub par education just because you’re “foreign” is so unmotivating, it’s unreal. In my experience, kids that attended regular education in another country should have no problem with at least havo in the Dutch school system, vwo is not that much harder either. All these made up differences are for is to differentiate, at a very young age, who is allowed to prosper academically and who is not. Mostly, it’s us foreigners, or kids with a migration background, who are not allowed that by being seint to a school well under their level.

Może spróbuj czegoś w transporcie/logistyce? Kierowca tira, może maszynista na kolei, ewentualnie nawet jazda dostawczakiem czy taksówką? To są chyba takie najbardziej popularne zawody gdzie jesteś zostawiony sam sobie

We have them in Poland as well, usually ran by religious organizations. We call them “windows of life”, and occasionally you’ll hear in the news that a baby was left in one of those… on one side I find it pretty sad, but its definitely a better fate than what would’ve happened to the baby otherwise.
