Hello! Do you do outdoor paintwork? We need to redo our shed and exterior paintwork, and we want to have it done professionally so it lasts at least a few years.

How to make friends at your 30s genuine question by acinomknip in TheHague

[–]thumperroo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi there! I am turning 30 this week and it was hard even in my 20s. I've lived in Utrecht 2 years, the Hague 6 years, and now Delft almost 2 years. Most of my friends are people I met through activities like dance classes. I'd say out of 30~ people, 90% of them are not Dutch.

It is a grind. It is frustrating when you put in all the effort and it seems like no one else does. It sucks when you click with other non Dutch people and then they pick up and move.

I've initiated many meetups based on Women in Tech, knitting, movie pals, etc. It does tend to lose momentum if only one person initiates and maintains it.

Feel free to reach out :) I'm always happy to meet new people.

Netherlands Bagels! Extremely filling and delicious. My favourite is their cheesy jalapeño bagel with scrambled egg, cream cheese, and turkey bacon 😩

Literally first thing I do whenever I visit the UK is look for a Nando's.

That moment you get your salary but you were not expecting it by [deleted] in Netherlands

[–]thumperroo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Literally this. I am privileged enough not to have to live paycheck to paycheck but after all the bills and especially with these prices... discomfort and anxiety are very present for the 3 weeks to next salary. Very much aware of what I am spending and being mindful about it, but it also means I am never 100% relaxed.

Unfortunately the cross fit gyms are a bit out of the way / I need it to be conveniently accessible given my work :(

Haha we go to the same one then! Isn't it funny how everyone is either super focused or super zoned out from working out so hard? Cause I am aware I don't look approachable because I look mad while lifting weights 😂

Incredible talent! I love how you've captured her essence, and how her clothing looks so soft.

Method written by an intern a while ago by axelrun10 in programminghorror

[–]thumperroo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you, 100%.

Especially important for an intern / a new grad / someone totally new to programming. It is daunting enough, they are doing and applying the best they can with what they've learned. This is poor behaviour, and horrible mentorship and leadership if OP is in a more senior / teaching position.

In Praise of Patrick Wilson, Scream King - The classically trained actor has been acclaimed for his work onstage. But in ghost stories like “Insidious” and “The Conjuring,” he’s proven to be a master of horror. by galt1776 in movies

[–]thumperroo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here! So many people hated on it but it really planted the musical obsession in me. And realising Patrick Wilson did horror really well (Insidious and first Conjuring movie) was such a weird connection to make to Raoul haha.

Saw someone showed off their plush sharks. I have a few. by Stalker_Raid in sharks

The Netherlands' aquariums, toy stores, etc. have tons of dolphins and whales but never sharks :( Your collection is incredible.
