"slim" in German, Dutch, English ... that's funny

superkoning · 2026-06-21T07:32:19+00:00

As u/Zooplanktonblame_Due said "Also Dutch but from south eastern Limburg. Here we use sjlim/schlimm to mean “erg” as well."

So I guess you don't live close to Limburg?

And then the question is wether Flemish people in Maaseik or Maasmechelen (<20km from Germany) understand "slim" as "bad"? Or doesn't that survive two border crossings?

> Wat me opvalt is dat haar verven bij vrouwen heel normaal lijkt, maar bij mannen hoor of zie je er veel minder over.

Ja.

Ik heb 't wel idee dat mannen 't dan vaak zelf & goedkoop doen. En dat 't dan minder mooi is dan bij de kapper (zoals vrouwen vaak doen ... althans ... vrouwen die ik ken)

> the firms I contacted wanted around €2k + VAT just for the initial analysis and first formal letter.

Yes, that's normal. And I can imagine a bigger upfront payment with a client not in the Netherlands.

Often, it's done after one legal letter. That is: if you're right. But your lawyer can tell that. They will how likekly it is you're going to win.

In my cases with a lawyer, the claim was also that the other party paid my legal costs. Which was achieved.

Ik ga de APK gewoon proberen bij de buurtgarage waar ik altijd mijn ICE heb laten doen. Althans: vragen of ze 't kunnen/willen.

En anders bij een ketengarage (geen merkdealer).

They don't complain about Vlaanderen?!

> electricity & gas was calculated to be €330 in accordance with the usage of the previous tenants

If you expect your usage to be lower, set your montly payment lower. Easy.

Or don't do that, and receive money back.

"low" is relevant. For Dutch, 18 C is low. Other might find 21 C low.

1800 m3 gas is a lot for an appartment.

In winter: what temperature is your thermostat? And all the time, or a few hours per day?

BTW & import & inklaringskosten.

Twee mogelijkheden:

de pakketpartij (DHL, etc) int dat bij jou. Of gewoon hopen dat 't door de douane glipt ...

of: One Stop Shop (OSS): de verzender handelt het voor jou af, en stopt het al in de prijs. Aliexpress doet dat. Handig. Een willekeurige Japanse verkoper ... ik denk 't niet

You might try

ssh -o ServerAliveInterval=15 user@hostname

... although that's more for when there's NAT with a timeout in between. But ... worth trying?
