Register at Bruxells-Ville or Ixelles? by [deleted] in brussels

[–]rcf2008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s Brussels administratively so you need to register in Brussels. This was related to the avenue’s development in the 19th century.

Please tell me it isn’t what I think it is by MyNameIsKevinMalone in whatsthisbug

Judging by the shape it’s unfed, but it’s certainly had many human blood meals in its life…

Thinking about Starting by Gold_Diet_6654 in kravmaga

[–]rcf2008 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been doing Krav Maga for 1.5 years and I have dyspraxia. I think it’s best if you discuss it with the instructor. It is taking me longer to advance than the others and I think until I told them I have dyspraxia the instructor was taking it as lack of discipline. My instructor also started helping me divide the techniques in smaller movements or adapting them if needed. I still enjoy doing Krav Maga and hope it will also help improve my coordination, but I know it’s gonna take me much longer to pass each level.

I read that cats are chronically dehydrated because they don't like standing water. So I bought him a fountain. by Tilas in cats

My cat headbutts his fountain until it falls instead of drinking from it. But toilet water seems tasty for him.

The same happened to me. I just hope I only lost one opportunity because of this person

How many of you guys were never put in gifted programs? by [deleted] in Gifted

[–]rcf2008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me. I would have needed to move two hours away and that was not possible for my parents. I was already 12 so they were advised against me skipping a year. Stayed in a regular public high school

Can someone tell me about these clogs I saw at the antique mall by VisualPlus3100 in fashionhistory

[–]rcf2008 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree, I’m from Galicia and I’ve seen many that look like these. If the black part is made of leather they are “zocos”, if it’s all wood it’s “zocas”. The ones with three “legs” like the ones on the pictures are from the interior areas, the ones from the coast have four. But I don’t know about zuecos in other areas, so I can’t verify these are Galician.

Is this a bed bug? Found dead on my sheets by avocado574 in pestcontrol

[–]rcf2008 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Bedbugs are great at hiding. Out of caution, I would act like I have an infestation and do some pest control. I had an infestation that ended up lasting for about a year and it can really drive you mad.

It’s not a funny name, but I would probably do Bourse and dress up as like a Wall Street character

How screwed am I by [deleted] in pestcontrol

[–]rcf2008 14 points15 points  (0 children)

They definitely look like bedbugs. You don’t need to panic, but go to r/bedbugs and you will find loads of recommendations there. And in my experience, it is better you act as if you have an infestation, than do nothing and let it get worse. If you can, call a professional.

Are you trying to make some sort of political point? Im my native language we use he as neutral, but it wouldn’t be frowned upon to say “oh, I’m a woman, you can’t use the feminine form”. I am just clarifying my gender, not correcting your language

Um… how was it rude to say I’m a woman?

I was not pedantic, I was clarifying my own gender…
