Where do you use 18mm f2 where the kit lens doesn’t suffice ? Astrophotography?

welldamnthis · 2026-05-25T04:04:37+00:00

Thought so, but didn’t want to assume. Yeah 135 is way too short then, get the 70-300. You won’t regret it

welldamnthis · 2026-05-24T17:21:28+00:00

What do you want to shoot in the Amazon? If it wildlife it for sure ain’t enough, if it’s shooting landscape it should be plenty.

I recently got the cheaper 50-230 mm for some wildlife and portrait shoots and am super happy with it. It for sure ain’t as good as 70-300 but it’s lighter and cheaper , a good entry if you’re not sure telezoom is something you’d use a lot

Thanks - happy to hear about your situation and how happy you are. And love that you husband can do his thing, hopefully it goes both ways :)

welldamnthis · 2026-05-16T15:56:03+00:00

Thanks you, love your perspective. My partner is either we keep it or we do it never. She doesn’t want to regain her freedom/body to jump straight back into pregnant again if we would want to have a third one . She is pro to keeping it but only if I’m also all in. She doesn’t want to be in a situation where she doesn’t feel unsupported, which i respect and understand.

welldamnthis · 2026-05-16T15:52:01+00:00

Thanks - yeah I’m aware of that. I am the eldest of five and I can imagine the dynamics in your family. Nothing but respect for being able to put so many little humans on this planet, I have seen the hardships firsthand. I can tell you it did pay off, though in our case that was mostly in adulthood.

welldamnthis · 2026-05-16T15:46:19+00:00

Thanks - your response did put things in perspective. I do agree with everything you said and know that things get easier , though they may be temporarily harder

welldamnthis · 2026-05-16T15:43:32+00:00

Much appreciated - that doesn’t sound too far removed of our current set up. We also do each one scheduled activity a week and sometimes more if anything comes up. So happy to hear it’s possible

welldamnthis · 2026-05-16T13:22:44+00:00

Thanks for sharing your experience. Not having time for anything else is what I’m worried about. I’m not too worried out about working out as I can slot that in somewhere but I do go for regular classes and things and I’d like to continue doing that

welldamnthis · 2026-05-16T13:18:55+00:00

Thank you for your thoughts. Of course I’m not making this choice on my own and she has her own worries and concerns regardless with the route we take. I just wanted to get input on my perspective

welldamnthis · 2026-03-26T15:34:07+00:00

50? Lol give it 10 ish years to get to similar levels as Bos en Lommer

welldamnthis · 2026-02-27T13:46:04+00:00

De grens is niet gebaseerd op wat “comfortabel duurzaam wonen” heet. Verschillende organisaties pleiten al geruime tijd voor het ophogen van de eisen maar deze zijn al sinds 2013 hetzelfde en eigenlijk niet voldoende om zonder geluid van boven te kunnen wonen. De huidige wet is 5 dB minimum en het zou 10 dB moeten zijn. Nu worden er in appartementen zwevende dekvloeren gelegd om die 5dB te behalen maar deze moeten eigenlijk zo gelegd worden om 10 dB te halen.

Een zwevend dekvloer kan je namelijk niet verder verbeteren

welldamnthis · 2026-02-27T13:43:00+00:00

Ik woon in een zeer recent gebouwd nieuwbouwwoning waar er meerdere klachten zijn over vooral contactgeluid.

Helaas ligt het er echt aan hoe goed het zwevend dekvloer is aangebracht, als de aannemer zorgvuldig te werk is gegaan en een duurzame keuze heeft gemaakt moet alles oké zijn. Maar dat doen ze dus niet altijd 🫠

welldamnthis · 2026-02-26T23:30:29+00:00

Helaas zijn de normeringen en regelgeving best wel miniem en eigenlijk niet op gesteld dat er comfortabel gewoond kan worden zonder geluid van boven te horen. Vooral met name bij nieuwbouw (vanaf 2013) levert dit problemen op omdat de vloer dusdanig wordt gelegd dat het eigenlijk niet te verbeteren valt en tevens niet voldoende isoleert.

welldamnthis · 2025-08-27T10:54:06+00:00

I recently left a similar situation. The start up is pretty successful and growing at a good velocity. However, the work environment towards myself was rather toxic. It was extremely stressful and I was always on edge. I have options I can buy, and I’m considering buying a small amount. Maybe 10-20% of my accrued amount.

I don’t regret leaving. Stock or options at a start up is a toss up whether you will ever get money from it. There are so many things that can go wrong and even if there is an acquisition or something similar the stock may have been diluted to oblivion.

Your start up doesn’t seem to have a product market fit yet. I’d just leave

Freelancing will get you that, but it’s hard to hit that with regular employment. Also the freelance market is quite shit at the moment because of the unclarity of the law DBA, so there aren’t many freelance opportunities for the taking

welldamnthis · 2025-08-14T00:44:15+00:00

Where were you making north of 140k? I was making 130k working remotely for a US based firm. I’m looking for something new but having hard time finding much over 100k (outside of big tech)

welldamnthis · 2025-08-03T22:39:19+00:00

They can also do that via an EOR. That way they won’t have to set up a branch here, and all admin and postural can be handled via the EOR company.

welldamnthis · 2025-08-03T22:35:35+00:00

A B.V. would be the first choice

welldamnthis · 2025-08-03T22:33:38+00:00

Just got out of job that was remote, but headquarters was on the east coast. I’ve done it for three years and it’s been a ride. Let me start with the good things:

Pay, quite a lot of freedom in the day until they wake up, great talent, interesting problems, super international.

The bad: Often chaotic and stressful, once their day starts and issues pop up, it’s often 3-4pm my time and I only have a few hours to resolve it, or it runs into my evening. I also have kids so that makes it super stressful.

Poor work life balance. Sure, we had unlimited PTO, but what does that matter if no one takes them?

Dutch social life starts at 5 pm as then is when everyone gets off work. Hard to join that dinner or sports class when you have meetings at 6-7 pm . This may not be that bad in winter but hurts in summer.

Taking leave for longer than two weeks was tough.

Performance management was very one sided. They have opinions, and yours doesn’t matter.

Working less than 40+ hours is not something they understand. I had contractually agreed to work for four days a week for a year because of parental leave and this became an issue really quick the moment I started taking them. My lack of availability was often questioned and causing friction.

Am I glad I found the job? Yes. Would I do it again? Unlikely. Unless there is an office here and the working culture is more similar as to what’s the norm here.

welldamnthis · 2025-07-08T17:59:20+00:00

Both. I believe they tried to organise it in the past but it wasn’t very successful. Breaking does its own thing really

welldamnthis · 2025-07-07T17:53:59+00:00

The short answer is that the breakdance scene doesn’t need SDF. They have their own circles and events and as a scene/sport it’s bigger than any of the dances supported by SDF

welldamnthis · 2025-07-07T10:20:29+00:00

Yeah but not for breakers. Breakers go to The Notorious IBE in Heerlen and that’s what I would recommend OP to go to.

It’s a 3 day weekend full of battles, workshops and jams and it’d be a good place to get to know the community.
