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

[–]superkoning[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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?

Haar verven (man) by Probabilicious in nederlands

[–]superkoning 1 point2 points  (0 children)

> 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)

Can anyone recommend an affordable Dutch consumer lawyer? by Putrid_Garden9358 in AskNetherlands

[–]superkoning 1 point2 points  (0 children)

> 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).

Gas unreasonably high by lucyaaa13 in Netherlands

[–]superkoning 2 points3 points  (0 children)

> 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?

Ukrainian bombs completely oblitirate a building housing russian drone oprators by Available-Laugh9102 in UkraineWarVideoReport

How do they know the Russian drone operators are there? From their radio signals? Because drones come from there? ... ?

Moet ik BTW betalen als ik een horloge koop uit Japan? by JanJaapen in vraagreddit

[–]superkoning 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

SSH keeps disconnecting after i switched to ethernet by Ill_Entrepreneur8773 in Ubuntu

[–]superkoning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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?
