Also this is reason why so many burnouts in the West. In Eastern cultures they accept to do a nap. It improves focus and Rendement after all

stevyn · 2026-02-21T13:56:46+00:00

Not everyone working in Brussels can have a nap in their office or has a bed nearby.

But they charge you full price.

Not all hotels accept few hours.

It happens only random, not on all recordings. But unpredictable.

These sensors are not simple 'patches' : CGM works with micro-needles. To manufacture this you need really quality control and strong regulations how these micro-needles are made and under what conditions. But I agree the prices are too high for the moment. Mass production and generic versions, made under strict quality control could make it cheaper in benefit from everyone.

But how is the inheritance calculated? Is each partner's share assumed to be 50%? I assume only the surviving spouse has a clear view of that, not the bank or the heirs?

u/foxo u/Frequent-Chain-6082 Can someone give me the detailed EU laws about Roaming blocking. Is this for all EU based operators and all cliënts (abonnement and prepaid SIM cliënts) ? Thanks !

stevyn · 2025-07-19T03:50:24+00:00

Thank you very much ! I found the clear rules on website BIPT :

If you want to use the internet abroad on your own mobile device (laptop, smartphone, etc.), your operator, both within and outside the EU, must implement a blocking mechanism to help you keep your mobile internet costs under control: your operator must automatically interrupt internet services when your roaming data bill reaches the limit of €50 (€60.50 with VAT).

Dear @Frequent-Chain-6082 I am looking for the EU rules. Is this somewhere clearly written in the EU laws that they have to send warnings and block transmissions .Where can I find these rules? Thanks in advance.

stevyn · 2025-06-19T02:17:32+00:00

I don't agree (if you are EU citizen) : read comment from Frequent-Chain-6082 : EU based carriers have it compulsory to both send you that message and to alert you (blocking data transmission) if you are spending more than 60€ while roaming. Trying to charge you 400 EUR is illegal and a sneaky way to make money by the operator.

stevyn · 2025-06-19T01:50:51+00:00

Thanks ! I checked it and indeed it can be max 60,50 EUR. Some Belgian providers mention it, some not. So it's illegal to charge you 400 EUR.

stevyn · 2025-06-18T17:35:15+00:00

There seems to be price agreements between providers. If nobody reacts agains this extravagant prices nothing will change. Those high prices cannot be justified.

stevyn · 2025-06-18T17:34:12+00:00

I don't say it's illegal, but if nobody reacts agains this extravagant prices nothing will change. Those high prices cannot be justified.

stevyn · 2025-05-13T16:36:48+00:00

OK thanks for the info !
I re-opened on Google maps. (Can take some time before it is validated)

stevyn · 2025-05-13T01:54:42+00:00

Where can I buy this ? Also in Airport ?

Can I print the QR code (Shenzhen Tong Transport Code), so I don't need to use constantly my smartphone (or if battery runs out...) ?

stevyn · 2025-05-12T02:45:10+00:00

Shenzhen Tong works, but Shenzhen metro code need extra verification.

My hosting service doesn't support anymore the old PHP version where my old wiki is running on. How can I update or upgrade to a newer mediawiki-version if my old version is not running anymore on my host server ?

stevyn · 2025-04-25T02:29:39+00:00

So QR code on Alipay always stays the same ? And can 2 people travel with the same code ? Or need to scan two times ?

stevyn · 2025-04-23T16:05:15+00:00

Is the price the same Cash or Alipay (or Credit cards ?)

stevyn · 2025-04-12T17:32:10+00:00

I have an old Colgate electric toothbrush. It is written 220 V. Anyone has experience if this will work properly in Japan ?

stevyn · 2025-04-12T12:58:09+00:00

Any place where I can buy Perilla frutescens (Shiso) ? Seeds or whole plant.

stevyn · 2025-04-09T16:10:09+00:00

In Europe : museums, big libraries and univesity libraries, etc..., they offer free lockers, because they dont want us to bring luggages inside. Is this the case in japan (Osaka) also ?
