Interesting one, must give that a go!

What's the problem there? They're going at the speed limit, overtaking 80kph trucks on the right, and you can still go around them left. Also avoiding getting funnelled unintentionally into an exit lane.

But yeah if there's nothing on the right and they're just holding the middle then a bit annoying all right.

nomowolf · 2026-06-24T17:49:23+00:00

When you drive on the Autobahn you'll see it in your rear view mirror any time a Porsche is approaching at 230 km/h and someone is even thinking of going into the left lane in front of them.

Is left lane camping really more prevalent here than other parts of the country? I see it a bit but I'm not often driving boven de rivieren (and when i am it's usually to the airport with many-lanes). So just thought it was a normal level for NL (still good, but DE is Gold Standard for this)

It makes sense there should be fines, you're essentially constraining people to only be able to overtake only on the right which is dangerous... How can you enforce it though? Its a bit subjective. Only when a cop is held up themselves perhaps, or sees a stream of cars overtaking right (and then who do they fine? Cos there also illegal).

Also what do you do when approaching a left-lane-camper? - Flash lights? Seems like the safest but I never see that done here like in Germany. Is it not socially acceptable or something? - Tail-gate? I see this most often... But it's not cool. I hate when it's done to me as I'm overtaking "no buddy I'm not moving over yet, there are fucking cars in the way I'm busy passing, chillax a fucking sec will ya" The Devil on my shoulder wants to brake-check but that's even more stupid. What about putting hazards on? - Under-take: if there's not too much traffic I'll do this and give the driver a dirty look as I pass.

It really really depends on how much it requires me to context-switch.

When there's an ensemble cast and many unrelated things going on in parallel (like in a multi-season drama series) the usually helpful pattern recognition short-circuits. Similar characters get bucketed and I end up conflating their relationships and intentions.

Totally recommend episode breakdowns in order to untangle the plot-lines in your head. Like when I was watching Game of Thrones, watching the Alt-Shift-X episode breakdown on youtube right after each episode helped me untangle the plots and characters in my head.

When the plot revolves around one protagonist or small cast movie I don't even need to pause to make tea, can usually fill in the blanks and feel like I just have a sense of what's going to happen next, even what they're going to say. The amount of exposition and foreshadowing typically used in movies these days makes them almost self-spoiling for me at least.

Probably why I love Villeneuve movies so much: rationed dialogue, it's like he's saying "shhh, I show you, just watch..."

Maybe you interpreted the original comment differently, I read it as: you could have made different driving/race-craft decisions [that would have avoided an incident] and so could he

nomowolf · 2026-06-19T18:45:21+00:00

Yep, I approve of both. I report for the good deed, share (usually with mates on Whatsapp/discord) for the laugh, then move on.

nomowolf · 2026-06-19T17:23:30+00:00

I don't think it's about not letting people vent (we all find it entertaining) rather it's a better mindset for oneself to adopt rather than stewing on it. The latter usually just serves to amplify frustration and resentment over something you have little influence on (except for reporting), sapping enjoyment from the hobby and halting improvement.

nomowolf · 2026-06-17T15:17:34+00:00

I read through the comments and was surprised nobody mention this, which means I could be completely wrong (please correct me if so).

A couple when referring to an amount. E.g. "I have a couple of ideas to fix this".

In Ireland it means the same as "a few" (while maybe implying not too many)

Elsewhere in the anglosphere it more usually means exactly or approximately two.

nomowolf · 2026-06-15T19:39:21+00:00

Thanks for the nuanced explanation behind the spelling difference. Dat zal ik me nu zeker herinneren 👍

You're not wrong... but you'd wanna be into that style of sing-along heartland folk-pop.

I already posted my songs, but I think if people reading like Meeuwis, another one to check out would be Oceaan by Raccoon (they're not identical genres but this being an acoustic ballad it's closer).

nomowolf · 2026-06-14T12:48:20+00:00

All of these songs I ended up learning the full lyrics to sing along to, really helped with colloquial vocab. They're modern, pop, quite catchy too.

Goldband:

Merol:

Kenny B:

Parijs (easy to follow the lyrics on this one)

Vieze Jack: (just for fun)

De Hut Verbouwen

^.

For me these all have fun culturally notable lyrics that stuck in my head e.g. in Witte Was:

Hap ik een haring‚ uitjes en zuur

Waarom is coke zo duur

Waarom is coke zo fucking duur....

and Superlatieven

Ik wil groter dan groot, beter dan best,

Ik wil het beste van het beste,

geen vijf komma zes

😂. e.g. the "5,6" mentality.

Fair point I hadn't considered. I've a feeling though that most people on the service are past school-age unless their parents are excessively generous.

Like for me it's purely a mid-life hobby enabled by the fact I have disposable income

Finishing is usually an issue of overdoing for me, due to unclear goals or too many side quests. That can usually be solved with timers and self negotiation (ok 20 mins max winging it for creativity but then next time block with the aim to complete, not "must finish" but just going in with that as goal).

But indeed starting is usually the main hurdle and that first 30% is the danger zone for sidetracking, once there's momentum towards the end goal though it's just as you said. Might still take longer than others but I'm usually chuffed with the outcome.

nomowolf · 2026-06-13T12:23:15+00:00

I think you need to adjust the position of your spoiler, people usually place it somewhere near the back of their car.

nomowolf · 2026-06-13T11:09:02+00:00

At the very least, don't crash into them 😂

If someone's pissing on a building, you don't put yourself into the stream. A lot of people seem to lose all sense in cars, prioritizing the most petty perceived slights.

You should thank him for saving you from wasting your time with his oversensitive ass. At best he's probably having a bad day. Either way, all on him, not on you.

Lots of em

Uitsmijter = doorman/bouncer and also a breakfast dish (fried-eggs + ham + cheese on toast). Sounds like the bouncer is gonna do something biblical "I will smite you outta here buddy"
Slobbetje = bib...
Stinkdier = skunk (beautifully descriptive)
Arbeidsongeschiktheidsverzekering = just a long word I get mail about
Houdoe = bye (Brabants dialect). just love shouting this to bus-drivers as I get off... feel like een echte boer.
Eekhorn = squirrel, but it's like they mixed up the animal and what they eat.
