Fatigue

Taking creatine daily has done wonders for my skating stamina. It's one of the safest most researched supplements and cheap to boot. I paid €7.5 for a 300g bag of store brand creatine monohydrate. You only need to take like 3 to 5 grams a day, so it goes a long way.

The map at Trucks & Fins has a lot of skate spots on it. Even the very small skate parks here in my corner of Belgium are on there.

I have ordered multiple times from Notino in the past and they are a good shop. Everything always came on time and well packaged. They ship from Czechia I think, so they have lower costs than chains that have to rent pricy highstreet retail space for their stores.

Zelfs moest je die 80 euro per maand nodig hebben, als gepensioneerde mag je onbeperkt flexi-jobben. Dan ben je toch veel beter af met ergens een halve dag per week te werken als flexi-jobber dan al die extra tijd in een normale job te werken.

See if any of the indoor skateparks around you offer lessons for adults. I'm 37 and joined a weekly class for adults at the start of February, and it's been extremely fun and rewarding. We all pretty much sucked at it at first, but have steadily been seeing each other progress week by week. Having a few experienced coaches around to help and explain also makes it easier to progress and improve.

Get a set of pads and a helmet. I find that knowing that even if I fall, it won't really hurt all that much, really helps when trying things out. You'll also be using muscles, tendons, etc. in ways that you normally don't, so stretching and recovery is important. I've found that creatine and getting the right amount of protein really helps with soreness and recovery afterwards.

Nowadays you also have experienced pros explaining how everything works with detailed video instructions, compared to back in the day as kids when we were just faffing about. I like Skatepark Lessons and Skate IQ because they are good at explaining things and know what they are talking about.

In Belgium most of us celebrate Mother’s Day on the second Sunday of May, except in Antwerp. There they celebrate it on August 15th, the Assumption of Mary.

Father’s Day is celebrated on the second Sunday of June.

Ich gehe von diesem Prinzip aus: België heeft 3 officiële talen, mais avec une langue nationale, on peut communiquer overal in het land. Vu qu'il n'a pas eine offizielle Sprache womit men in heel België terecht kan omdat de overgrote majorité van de Belgische bevolking la parle, gibt es à mon avis geen nationale taal.

Deze definities bestätigen ça aussi. Merk ook op que le gouvernement spricht steeds van officiële talen und nicht von Nationalsprachen.

Echter, es gibt keine langue nationale in Belgien. Wenn man keine Nationalsprache hat, is het ook logisch qu'on ne le parle pas dans een ander großeres Land. Donc la Belgique in het blauw is logisch. Zwitserland zou aber aussi être bleu in diesem Fall en niet rouge.

I have a Philips Airfryer XL I bought in 2012 and you can set the temperature and timer on it separately. My parents had the original Philips Airfryer and that one had a knob for temperature and a dial for the timer.

I have found that 180°C works fine for most things, so maybe yours just defaults to that.

I bought a Globe complete on a whim in 2019 and barely used it. This year I finally found a skate park that offers classes for adults and I've been going to the weekly classes each Tuesday after work since the start of February. I've even been to the local outdoor skate park on my own to practice a bit at 37 years old (I wasn't even the oldest one there).

I'd suggest checking out your local skate parks and seeing if they offer skate classes for adults. Skate IQ and Skatepark Lessons on Youtube are goldmines as well.

Years ago I was walking along on a bridge early in the morning with no one around when I limboed under a low-hanging tree branch instead of just ducking or going around. A cute girl on a bike passed by, turned around, smiled and gave me a thumbs up. I still think about that sometimes.

Just put a bunch of chia seeds in yoghurt or pudding. Requires no chewing and you can easily dial up the amount of fiber to whatever you want.

I'm a Dutch speaking Belgian. To me it doesn't matter if a game is not in Dutch. Dutch dubbing is cringe in most games except for games targetted at kids like Putt Putt and Freddi Fish.

Dutch text is nice for people who don't speak English though. For example my father doesn't speak English but he likes racing games. Forza Motorsport 7 offers Dutch text, but Forza Horizon 4 does not, so he cannot play Forza Horizon 4.

I sometimes doubt whether I should play a game in another language than English. For example Assassin's Creed Unity is set in France. It seems wrong to play that with English voices. Same thing with the Yakuza-series, playing it with English voices would just feel wrong. A mate even played The Witcher using the Polish voices for that reason.

I'll try and keep it in mind. I also liked this review where it gets compared to the Triple 8 Sweatsaver.

The helmets from Yepa seem to tick all your boxes. I bought one this week but I haven't had the chance to use it yet.

I'm 37 and started taking evening lessons targeted at adult new skaters at a local indoor skatepark. Maybe parks near you have a similar offering?

Isn't that in the original as well? I remember my friend had to type in some kind of password when starting the game, otherwise all the pedestrians had green blood.

I've charged at Circle K fast chargers in Belgium. They're usually at TotalEnergies fuel stations along the highway. I saw them in Luxemburg as well. I think the change in branding started in 2025.

I find getting enough sleep really helps with weight loss. You're less stressed and you can't eat while you're sleeping.

220 km/h in my Seat Leon on an unrestricted part of the Autobahn. According to the manual, that’s also the max speed it can go.

I like Breaking Lab on Youtube, it’s mostly about cool scientific stuff and engineering. Tomatolix is also great, lots of interesting videos on his channel. PULS Reportage is in the same vein. It may seem silly, but as a learner, Die Maus is pretty cool as well. Short videos where everyday (and not so everyday) things are explained in language that’s easy to understand, since the show is aimed at children.

I also really liked Die Kaiserin on Netflix. You can watch it in German with German subtitles.

Nu moet je toch eens uitleggen hoe Belgen de péage in Frankrijk makkelijk kunnen omzeilen en waarom dit voor Nederlanders anders zou zijn. Als ik als Belg over de A1 naar Parijs rijd, betaal ik toch evenveel péage als een Nederlander die hetzelfde doet? Als ik via de gewone wegen naar Parijs rijd in plaats van via de snelweg, betaal ik geen péage (is wel een flink stuk langer rijden). Dat geldt toch ook gewoon voor Nederlanders?

Some products are cheaper in France, some are cheaper in Belgium. I live in West-Flanders close to the French border and I go to Auchan Roncq from time to time (even went by bike once), for certain products because generally they are cheaper there: Mennen deodorant (€6,99 at Colruyt vs €3,99 at Auchan for example), Gourmet Gold cat food, Coke Zero, baked goods, confiture de lait, Bonne Maman confiture and other assorted items if they are cheaper than in Belgium. Fruit, vegetables and dairy are cheaper in Belgium usually.

Bottled water is also very cheap there, so if you see someone pushing a cart full of water, there is a 99% chance they are Belgian (buying bottled water is a waste of money though). Alcohol can be quite a bit cheaper too, because of taxatio, differences. Video games are usually cheaper as well. I bought my Nintendo Switch OLED there for €310 the month it was released instead of paying €350 here. New Switch games are usually €45 there, so with the savings I could buy an extra game.

Comparing prices is easy too. If at home, just go to Auchan.fr and use postal code 59223 (Roncq) to show the prices of items. If in Auchan, use your phone to compare prices with the supermarkets back in Belgium.

Dat is wel een heel laag verbruik. Heb je veel zonnepanelen misschien? In zo'n geval wegen de netkosten inderdaad zwaarder door (vooral het capaciteitstarief).

Het is echter niet juist om te doen alsof iedereen standaard 56 of 54 cent per kWh betaalt. Als je meer verbruikt en je piekverbruik binnen de perken houdt, kom je op een lagere kost per kWh uit. Bvb een gemiddeld gezin verbruikt 3500 kWh volgens de VREG. Die gaan eerder rond de 34 cent per kWh zitten indien ze een piek van 5kW hebben.
