If there is no daily post to brag about my ‘crèmekoeken’, I’ll start one!

  6. sigh, my son(12) is in a full blown depression

    He woke me up at 3am, he had been thinking all night.

    He announced that between the war, nature dying and the economic crisis he has no idea why he is even working for school and his “future” anymore. And he can’t stop thinking about it.

    Now my rethorical skills at 3 am are not the best and mostly i agree with him anyways.

    I have no idea how to help him, I can hardly say that the only way i stop thinking about those things is by drinking way to much…

  7. Ordered a Pixel 7 Pro last week. Amazon won’t ship it till next week. By that time I’ll have F5’ed the site so much they’ll think I’m DDOS’sing AWS

  8. It is not even 10 and I already tripped and fell 6 times today. I am not sure I will get to the CPAS this afternoon in one piece in these conditions.

    I don’t know why I can’t walk properly some days.

  9. My mum is in need of a new phone, and as the only tech savvy person in the family that responsibility falls to me.

    She currently has a Motorola Moto 4G. Her only requirements are 1) a good battery and 2) not too big. I was looking towards the Moto G52 or G71 to keep her in the Motorola system, but other recommendations are most welcome!

  10. One of my colleagues brought pies for her birthday, chocolate bisquit with double chocomousse filling and glazed with a white chocolate sauce…

    Anyway, I’ll be glad when the week is over, headache is splitting my head in two. Work stress.

  11. Ok kids. Help me

    My coffe machine broke/I broke my coffe machine THIS IS NOT IMPORTANT

    WHAT IS IMPORTANT IS I NEED COFFEE

    So. I have some wants. And some needs. And I´m not getting these needs met.

    Here are the simple things I want my coffee maker to have.

    – no longer use senseo pads. I want to have less waste. Beans without filter would be best, so I can dump it on the compost. With filter also possible. Pregrind also an option.

    – i want to be abled to make a cup. Two cups. A pot. I want to be abled to do so by pressing a button. I do NOT want to manually add the exact water required for said volume. I also don´t want to weigh off coffee beans or grinded coffee per serving. You´re the machine. You do it. I´ll just keep you stocked.

    That´s pretty much it. There´s things I would *like* as well

    – a double loading option. Like beans/pre-grinded or double beans or.. my wife drinks decaf, but until the invent pacemaker style contraption that shoots caffeine straight in my spine every morning I need my beans loaded, and switching without a hassle would be nice

    Things I don´t need

    – colours. Fucking apps. Milkfrothing bullshit. Touchscreens. Lights. It remembering my birthday

    Things I don´t have

    – A million Euros

    Is that so fucking hard? Damnit. I need my hot bean soup. How difficult can that be.

  17. Just picked up my first pack of Rilatine, to start with it tomorrow. Woop! I hope it goes well for me. I’ll keep y’all updated

  19. Nice pastry, I am suddenly hungry. Let me go to the kitchen get an old croissant and put tons of jam on it to make the rubber taste go away.

    Totally unrelated topic, my kid came home with a bunch of nuts he picked in a school outing. I know zero about nuts, never foraged them, never read about them. It looks from my googlefu like chestnuts but my readings say it could be a sweet chestnut (edible) or a horse chestnut (nor edible). My kid really wants to make me eat them and claims his teacher said you can.
    But this 4 years old is a bit of a liar sometimes, the teacher could have said nothing, it happened before.
    He used my own words against me “just try a bit and if you don’t like it’s okay”. How do I know if it’s one or the other? Is my kid trying to kill me?

  20. Cashiers of Belgian Reddit: How poorly are cash registers displaying the different options on a Sodexo card? I have cadeau pass and lunch pass on mine, and I explicitely state I want to use the former, but each time the cashier looks at me like I got two heads and the first time I went there she also tried to credit the wrong option. Lunch pass was emtpy then so ofc that didn’t work.

    I get that it is a small town, so I’m probably the only oddball using these for groceries before they expire. I’m specifically going to a different grocery store that accepts the cadeau pass, but the poor lady seems to not get it. Native speaker as far as I can tell, so I don’t think it’s a language issue. I’ve got some money left to spend but I’m now dreading going to that store. The cadeau pass expires end of the year so I really just want to dump that money in stuff I’ll need anyway. Just wondering why it is such a hassle. I know everyone says Sodexo is awful, so it wouldn’t surprise me if it’s called something entirely different and unhelpful, but I can’t take a peek at the register screen to check.

  21. Your “chocolate” looks like it contains 90% sugar and sticks to your palate. It should be darker and crack when you bite it. After eating crèmekoeken from Bakkerij Jos in Sint-Niklaas I can’t accept anything less. Unfortunately the poor man died prematurely.

  22. Had a fixed contract at the middle of september 2021 so I won’t be eligible for the premie for gas and electricity. Feels bad.
