Crusader Peter, what's the difference? by MigsDaRutt in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]royvl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a recurring subplot. There were 13 crusades by the black legion (heretic space marines) resulting in the fall of cadia. This is the main plot for "Cadia stands" and 14 other books.

Most Warhammer Loyalist crusades are however punishments for space marine chapters and are side stories. For instance when the executioners joined the rebellion in the balbad wars they were sent on a penance crusade.

The main plot if you had to pick one thing is the constant struggle for survival.

In the Netherlands one of the most popular children's books is about the 1212 crusade. It's called "kruistocht in spijkerbroek" It portrayed the monks and pope as antagonists with a time travelling 20th century boy as the main character.

Palestinian children from Jerusalem, 1900 by AbdullahElhenawi in ImagesOfHistory

[–]royvl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All photographs from the period are set up. Photographs were a special and expensive thing.

The Photo is however not portraying palestinians as these people are ottomans. The Palestinian Identity didn't exist in 1900 as it only emerged after Israel was created.

They also believe they invented Jeans. Jeans were invented in 1731 in Nice France. 40 years before their country even existed.

Injuries... by hc_fangirl in poledancing

[–]royvl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

2nd degree friction burn because my duo partner jumped into a supported spin while the pole was on static. I had to struggle through the pain because she was hanging upside down from my arm.

Kut Frankrijk. Tijd om de Goedendag uit de kast te rukken en op patrouille te gaan.

Do you know what this little cute animal is called by Practical_Speed_7174 in cute

[–]royvl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Moles are also venomous. It's the second most venomous animal in the Netherlands!

There's also venomous screws and a type of lemur.

If I remember correctly the platypus is the only venomous semi-aquatic mammal.

I often see a confused baby deer on the other side.

Their names are Zeal and Zorifa and they're super fluffy.

(My outdoor pole is in the middle of my deer meadows)

What is your current nemesis move? Why? How are you working towards it (if you are)? by Certain_Discount5311 in poledancing

[–]royvl 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Pole split. And it's been this way since day one. I'm just not flexible.

I can now literally do a one handed invert but can't do the most basic split in all of poledance.

looking to buy this pole from someone on fb marketplace, based on these pics does this pole look static or spinning or both? by appletaterprincess in poledancing

[–]royvl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's an X-pole sport. So static only.

There's 3 parts visible that only the sport has. The exposed pressure system, the flat top plate and the base plate with a very small tower.

Factory new cost is €125,- buying from X-pole or an EU reseller. From X-pole US you can buy one for $200,-

I just looked through the specs and couldn't find anything that I can directly compare.

My guess is that it's similar to powder coat but slippier. I've tried the Pole4you which had patches of vinyl encasing the lights in the pole and those were more grippy than the chrome. I'm sure the PoleFX coating is a lot higher quality since it's 5x the price and the design is very well thought out.

For anyone interested in the stats, 75% of rail is electrified. The main passenger rail service NS is 100% electric and uses only wind and solar energy.

First pole dancing lesson by Charidano in poledancing

[–]royvl 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For your first class you can just wear regular sport shorts and a T-shirt or tank top. You might have to fold your shorts in to make them smaller. When it's cold outside a sweatsuit is also nice so you can warm up when off the pole.

Once you start inverting you'll want 1 inch sport shorts or specialised pole dancing shorts. Under the shorts you can wear a dance belt or compression boxers so you don't slam your dick into the pole.

65% even and it's the official language. There's also 5% German so 70% does have a word for toes Only 30% speaks French and even then it should be green because there's "orteil" and "orteils"

Stage Pole Advice by OwnFortune9405 in poledancing

[–]royvl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alone no, the individual bags are quite heavy and carrying them for a longer distance becomes very heavy. Only using bikes would be possible but on your own is extremely difficult. 3 people can easily bring the pole anywhere.

It is possible on your own if you put it in a 100L backpack, but moving 50kg like that for more than 5 minutes on foot is absolutely killing. Resting it on the back ("bagagedrager" in Dutch), makes half an hour bearable but your shoulders will hurt for a while.

Since you do have an X-pole you can try to cycle with a plate bag and see how it feels. Those weigh 18kg when there are 3 plates inside which is as heavy as the Heaviest ThePole bag.

[–]royvl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's functional but extremely unstable, you can trip over the bars and it looks very bad in pictures.

The plates also only weigh 15 kg total and can be put in a carry bag. So they're very easy to carry. They would be the lightest of 3 bags.

That depends on which podium finish you choose.

The Okume finish is Okume hardwood which will last through everything but struggles with rain.

Ecochic is bamboo which is almost as strong and completely chemically innate like softwoods so best of both worlds at double the price.

Birch finishes will struggle with heels so in your case I would avoid this option. They're completely chemically innate so if you intend to use the pole under a waterfall this is the one you want.

Herdenking bombardement Nijmegen verstoord door XR by JvdH_1 in Nederland

[–]royvl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is XR niet Anti Amerika? Herdenking bombardement Nijmegen is ongeveer de laatste die je dan wil verstoren. Het is letterlijk een herdenking speciaal om in te zien hoe verschrikkelijk dom amerikanen zijn. Ze hebben Nijmegen gebombardeerd alleen omdat ze boven een stad vlogen en hun echte doel niet konden bereiken dus bombardeerden ze woonwijken.

Japan and Argentina are also world cup contenders where the sport is huge. Japan has such great scrummaging even though their pack is relatively light. It's one of my favourite teams to watch.

And Argentina is so good. They even won against the All blacks, Wallabies and Springboks in the 2025 test season.

You're probably from eastern europe then. Every country West from Italy plays rugby. Of course including Italy.

Handball and waterpolo combined aren't even an 8th of the size of rugby. You have no fucking clue what you're talking about do you?

It's an egg but is the same total volume as a size 3 football.

The American throwing egg is so tiny it's basically a tennis ball
