This is a 2 way road in the same Belgian village as the post. The speed limit is 70kmh.

The street is still like that, but in 2022 or 2023 they added some poles on the street to slow down the cars. The speed limit may be lowered to 50 kmh on the Dutch side, but I’m not sure. It’s been a while since I’ve been there. The speed limit on the Belgian side is 70 kmh. The Belgian side has a separated bicycle lane but it starts behind the photographer of the original picture.
25 minute car drive. I almost never have traffic jams during my commute. The longest it has taken me was around 40 minutes when I had to take a detour due to farmers protests.
I have a bus stop near my house. It takes 45 minutes to get to the city of my job and then I have to take another bus to get to my job itself.
It would probably take a bit over 1 hour to get there on a bicycle. I would get extra money if I went to work on a bicycle. The main reason I don’t cycle to work is that I don’t think it’s safe. Most of the route I would have ride on a little strip 2 meter away from cars and trucks going 90km/h. Or I can take a longer route where I have to ride on a little strip right next to traffic going 70km/h.
Immudefense. Whenever I see this I feel second-hand embarrassment for those people standing there shaking that stupid little pill.
It’s not our fault the director wants more cowbell.
Belgium
They’re right, a beach house isn’t a dream. It’s a nightmare.
Your house will constantly get sand inside. If there is a bit of wind your house gets sandblasted. You can’t eat outside or seagulls will steal your food. Walking on sand is more difficult than walking on pavement or grass. You would have to be a madman to go live on a beach.
At least my doctor notified his patients that he was going to retired. I have a collegue who found out his doctor retired when he got ill.
I think it’s mainly because there is a limitation of the amount of students who can start the education. Every year the government holds entry exams and only the best 1600 can start the studies. Somewhere in their studies they have to choose their specialisation (heart, children, oncology,…) And as far as I know only a small part of them is interested to become a ‘housedoctor’ ( the type of doctor we have to visit when we have something like a flu)
I have no reason to mock american healthcare. Sure, here in Belgium I can afford to see a doctor, but I don’t know if I can find one.
My previous doctor retired and all the other doctors in the area have a patient stop. They will only give you an appointment if you already are a known patient. I can only hope one of them is willing to take me the next time I’m sick.
My dentist has so much work he doesn’t answer his phone and doesn’t has an online method to make appointments. You have to plan your next appointment when you visit him and his agenda is usually booked for the next 6 months.
THEN THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED
They are meant to be installed in a corner.
It said favorite dream, not worst nightmare.
I would fall down the stairs and then apologize and give the cat treats because I hurt it.
When I was a kid, my grandma lived in a rooftop apartment on the 12th floor with a big balcony. During the summer break my siblings and I would go to her when our mom had to work. She put an inflatable pool on the balcony for us. One day I was playing with a beach ball in the pool and tried to push it under the water. I let it go and it shot up and over the edge of the balcony. I somehow got away with it by blaming it on my little brother.
But then you’ll miss out on the pre-order exclusives. How can you even play the game if you don’t get that car with the special dickbutt livery? How will you defeat enemies if you don’t get that special cabbage-shooting gun?
Of course I listen to that son of a bitch.
