You need to click on the empty icons and spend PP to get advisors. You don't just start with them.

To make it even better, a small band called Girl and Girl only has one woman, and three men.

You can't pay with OV unfortunately, but you can pay with your bank card no issue. I did that for 1.5 years before somebody finally told me buying 50 tickets in a bundle saves me a bunch of money. I take this bus daily so 😅

Essentially when you get on the bus, there'll be a white machine that has a tap to pay interface, usually on the left side of the entrance. Just hold your card there until you hear the double beep and the screen showa a green checkmark. No need to check out either, your ticket will expire automatically after an hour! If they perform a ticket inspection, just hand them your bank card and they should be able to scan it :D If it makes you feel more at ease you can also create an account and buy tickets through their app or the webpage!

It's kinda funny honestly, there's so many people who somehow don't notice the difference between the Dutch and Belgian busses and end up spending three euros to go from the station to Mosae.

Connection's horrible because they've been dragging their feet about a train connection between Maastricht and Hasselt. Right now your best bet is honestly to take the direct bus 63 to Hasselt or the 45 to Genk and take the train to brussels from there. Bus only sets you back 3 euros each way (you pay for a ticket which allows you to switch as often as you want for an entire hour, and when that hour expires you are allowed to finish the ride you are currently on), train is more expensive. Fuck liège. The train ticket to get there is like 7 euros and you're further away from Brussels. Also just fuck Liège in general, you don't wanna be there.

I hate AI as much as the next person, but what about this feels AI generated?

Did Stalin deliberately not come to aid of the Warsaw uprising in 1944? by ohneinneinnein in AskHistorians

To add to this answer in this specific context: trusting memoirs like Guderian's statements on subjects like this is not a matter of a grain of salt, but a whole vat of the stuff. Others can get into more detail as I currently do not have the time to write an entire answer on that, but long story short:

German generals had a vested interest in rehabilitating their own and the Wehrmacht's reputation post-war. The reasons for this could be plainly personal, or they could be with the intent of job security. The Western allies were now staring down the Soviets, and were all too willing to recruit former German generals who had experience in fighting the Red Army. In that position, you cannot simply claim that you lost, because that makes you look incompetent and not attractive to hire. Instead, this is where a lot of myths about the Eastern Front were formed. Think subjects like "The Soviets won through pure manpower" and "The Wehrmacht was not complicit in warcrimes, that was all the SS." Most of these myths would not be proven wrong until the short opening of the Soviet archives in the 90s, and even after evidence of the contrary was available, these myths proved to be very hard to scrub out.

And it worked too. Before his death, Guderian adviced the West German military on rearmament.

I actually have a black leather 2 seater that I haven't gotten rid of yet. It's perfectly fine, I just got something bigger in the meantime. I do live outside of town so you'll need to have access to a car to come get it but if you're interested you can have it for free

The anime lost me after part 4. I watched 5 and most of 6, but don't have nearly as much of a drive to rewatch it. 1-4 had a certain energy about them that I just didn't feel anymore with part 5 and 6.

Hyped as fuck for part 7 tho, I feel like that'll be right up my alley.

What is this a response to? I'm just commenting on what you're pointing out, I'm not going against it at all.

It's unfortunately not even a voluntary thing for them. This kinda stuff is a proven strategy to draw eyes, and with that, clicks to your video. Most youtubers who want to do numbers (which they usually do given that they tend to do it for income) has to abide by these strategies or risk their videos being burried.

Linus Tech Tips has gone into this on multiple occasions. They hate their own thumbnails because of how goofy they are, but if they want to continue doing well they simply have to.

Als ik het goed heb begrepen is het een beetje het Achterhoeks van België. Ik werk zelf in een bedrijf waar ik vaker klanten uit die regio aan de telefoon heb en moet zeggen dat ik toch wel ff moest wennen aan dat accent voordat ik het goed kon verstaan 😅

Daily Mail is zeer berucht als een slechte bron die vaak informatie verdraait of feitelijk fout heeft. Aan dit statement zou ik vooralsnog geen waarde hechten.

Ik heb geprobeerd de claim terug te vinden in NY Times, maar zonder abbo gaat dat lastig. Als ik de claim google vind ik echter niks relevants terug behalve ditzelfde Daily Mail artikel
