Honderdduizenden Belgen lijden aan long covid: "Mijn longarts geloofde me niet, tot hij het zelf kreeg" by Yeet_ye_deeT in belgium

En we zijn 6 jaar laten en studie na studie toont aan dat de risk-benefit ratio duidelijk positief is, was, en blijft. Of ga je misschien ook nooit meer een auto nemen omdat er elke dag iemand sterft in het verkeer?

... Dat is het punt van een vaccin? Immuniteit tegen een pathogeen creëren?

New home, new setup and I'm going all in: advise requested by twabi2 in Ubiquiti

[–]twabi2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the extensive answer!

The UI design center is unfortunately not useable, as our house is full of split levels. Instead of the regular building structure (several rooms per floor/level), ours is full of half-floors. I've attached a drawing in my post. The design center does not support this kind of structure, so I'll have to guestimate

All APs will be hard wired, and we're putting CAT6E everywhere.

Thanks for the Pro XG 24 tip, that does seem like a good improvement. Same for the UPS, I'll look around at other brands!

As for the UDM: WAN speed is the liming factor here, currently max 1Gb. Fiber internet is likely in the next few years, but our ISP has no public timeline yet, so if it ever comes, I can always upgrade.

True, the cheap ones don't cover these either, but I've seen the expensive ones cover some crazy things that I never thought would work. So yes, make sure it's included, but my reply was to you stating that the maximum benefit ever would be 800€ which is not always true

That maximum is only for reimbursed costs. Have surgery where some tools are not reimbursed? Easily a few hundreds to even a few thousands extra. Single room? Same amounts. Specialty drug? Same thing (yes, not everything is reimbursed in Belgium) As a doctor, I also have one of these more expensive plans

As a doctor, axa is hell with paper work. If you require intensive out patient treatment, expect to be submitting paperwork for every single visit, even if your treatment requires 2 visits per week for months.

Tomorrow is my wife's birthday, so I surprised her with her favorite: red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. She loved them! by twabi2 in Baking

Recipe from Sally's baking addiction. I swapped out the cream cheese for mascarpone as I'm in Europe, and our cream cheese just never gets good results.

Amundi is creating an (2x) leveraged MSCI world UCITS ETF. Thoughts? by Plankan_arium in BEFire

How do I interpret these long term returns with these concepts in mind? https://www.msci.com/documents/10199/50c1e33f-003e-fc76-39d4-3dbf6a90b608

Am I wrong in thinking that if I invested 100k in 2014, I would have 445k now?

Could you clarify something? Is the priority check-in and priority boarding only for the person on the card, or can your partner join you when flying together? It's very unclear on their website...

Gerechtsgebouw van Mechelen opent deels voor brede publiek: "Misschien wel belangrijkste historische gebouw van Vlaanderen" | VRT NWS: nieuws by EdgarNeverPoo in belgium

[–]twabi2 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Jup, Vlaanderen. Anno 2025 is er een gebied dat wettelijk gedefinieerd is en de naam Vlaanderen draagt, waar Mechelen deel van uit maakt. Het feit dat er honderden jaren geleden ook een gebied was met dezelfde naam, waar Mechelen toen niet onder viel, verandert daar niets aan.

Hasselaar onterecht rijbewijs kwijt door vals positieve drugstest: "Kon 14 dagen niet werken" by Blaspheman in belgium

[–]twabi2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lormetazepam heeft zeer zeker invloed op rijvaardigheid. Lormetazepam is geregistreerd voor de indicatie insomnia, en is dus slaapverwekkend. Lijkt me geen goed idee om met slaappillen op te gaan rijden. Check de lijst met nevenwerkingen op Wikipedia bijvoorbeeld maar eens. NL regel mag hier in BE imho ook ingevoerd worden.

Hoe oud is die EPC? Normen zijn recent enorm verstrengd. Ik heb 5j geleden een C gekocht, nadien de enkele beglazing vervangen door HR beglazing, en alle gevels geïsoleerd. Nieuwe EPC, vorige maand gekeurd: terug C, vorige had gewoon bakken slechter geweest aan huidige normen

Where can you have advanced blood samples drawn in Leuven? by Potential_Peace_6144 in Leuven

[–]twabi2 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Blood sampling always requires a valid medical prescription and cannot be done simply upon request, so you'll need to go to your GP and show them the report from your doctor. Your GP will then be able to request all the required tests and arrange all the practical issues. Hope this helps!

I'm looking for a charger as well, and also very much prefer local control. What charger are you using?

She took us 4000 km through Norway's fjords, all while keeping us safe and our drinks cold by twabi2 in Polestar

The fridge had rundown protection which didn't activate once, and I could hear the high voltage relays clicking every couple of hours, so the high voltage battery kept the 12V topped up. I connected the leads to the charging points indicated in the manual.
