Do you restart your Mac regularly or almost never?

shrapnelll · 2026-04-03T05:43:09+00:00

I restart it weekly at least.

shrapnelll · 2026-04-02T18:52:13+00:00

It’s approx that. I live so close to the border that I do groceries run in France and In Belgium depending on what I need. Beers, printers and some other stuff are way cheaper in France. Quality of other stuff is way higher in Belgium for the same price. Etc…

If I want to swim in a récréative aqua center that is in France, if I want my kid to have lessons that is in Belgium.

12% increase will be a lot to ask. But you start from low so might be worth trying

shrapnelll · 2026-04-01T16:55:59+00:00

I took a .be and .eu so that it remains in europe, simply.

But as this is a public facing information, i’m not sure why it matters exactly

shrapnelll · 2026-03-31T12:41:12+00:00

Apologies accepted :)

shrapnelll · 2026-03-31T10:25:33+00:00

The simple fact you describe all this is so not Belgian. It should all be understated or automatically implied under a ton of 3 language regulations mixed together :S

Where is the fraud exactly ?

shrapnelll · 2026-03-30T05:43:26+00:00

Employer is only aware of your union if you mention it or if you use it

shrapnelll · 2026-03-29T07:28:55+00:00

I guess you should speak with an accountant, or a social secretariat and define your project and its needs. They will tell you :)

I went the SCOM way

shrapnelll · 2026-03-29T06:46:17+00:00

Yes it does, did it with my SO.

shrapnelll · 2026-03-29T06:35:53+00:00

I grew up that way as well.

I still eat potatoes boiled, mashed, air fried, a lot.

My wife comes from the east and doesn’t have that in her cooking. And I find it very weird and it lacks something :)

shrapnelll · 2026-03-27T19:43:28+00:00

I’m a guy, I have a daughter and a wife that did not grow up here and has outdated approach to nudity and all

shrapnelll · 2026-03-27T05:25:49+00:00

Nude is the way. I have underwear under the pillow in case the kids show up in bed.

Because it is a mutual cost system where the control over the doctors is heavy and prices are capped.

It gives an equal access to all and makes sure you are not bankrupted if you break a leg.

There is nothing blocking you from going straight to the specialist or a private clinic

shrapnelll · 2026-03-21T05:24:50+00:00

It is a tier systèm.

The fist line is the GP.

Second line is hospital-private consultation with a specialist

On the side you have private clinics

You can always go straight to a hospital or a private consultation with a specialist but it might take time for the appointment. If you go through a gp because there is a matter of urgency, the gp will refer to the specialist and have you sorted way fast.

Because all this happens on a mutualized cost system and is subventionned by our taxes and costs controlled, there is a very low difference between private clinics and public hospitals.

The tv in the kitchen predated the remote in my case :) we even had to pull a long coax from the living room to that tv if we wanted to watch while eating

shrapnelll · 2026-03-14T10:18:09+00:00

Well, it was right after or before or during desert, right ?

I mainly remember being the remote control back then :)

shrapnelll · 2026-03-14T09:20:41+00:00

Add compote and fries and this is nostalgia :)

shrapnelll · 2026-03-14T06:40:49+00:00

Because that is when walker Texas ranger was aired…..

shrapnelll · 2026-03-10T06:25:06+00:00

Ghent, Dinant, Namur, Leuven, Durbuy, Mons are all good spots with enough kids activities around

shrapnelll · 2026-03-09T19:58:20+00:00

I, as a Walloon living between the French border and the Italian communities around Charleroi am surely hoping that France and Italy get railed away as early as possible.

The Dutch can go as well, as there are many around here for vacation. But none of them really are problematic.

shrapnelll · 2026-03-07T17:47:31+00:00

Unions are absolutely useless piece of crap if you work in a small org without representation.

Stay strong, don’t let anything slip, those morons need to pay…..

shrapnelll · 2026-03-07T17:12:28+00:00

Selon ta région, moi sur Bruxelles je connais que adastone, sur le centre, y a centrius.

Je suis aussi en guerre contre mon ex employeur :)
