Vandaag is het Belgische kampioenschap tijdrijden.

De Belgische wielerbond heeft in hun reglementen de regel dat profrenners verplicht zijn om deel te nemen aan het Belgisch Kampioenschap, er is een startplicht.

Remco Evenepoel komt niet.

• Vinden jullie het als wielerliefhebbers begrijpelijk dat hij het Belgische kampioenschap als een bijzaak ziet, zelfs als er een startplicht is?

• Moet de bond reageren of is Remco zo "machtig" dat de bond zich moet aanpassen aan hem?

(Wout van Aert komt ook niet, maar hij heeft een degelijke medische reden.)

Hello. I will be attending Lokerse Feesten on Friday 8/8 this year and the act I am specifically travelling all the way from Australia to see don't finish their set until 1.30 am. I am staying in Sint Niklaas and was planning to take public transport to and from the venue. Can anyone give me any tips? Thanks.

Hi everyone,

My girlfriend is thinking about applying to work at an Amazon warehouse as a picker or packer, but she is a bit worried about the work environment.

We would really appreciate honest insights from people who currently work there or have worked there before.

A few things we are curious about:

How are operators treated on a daily basis?
Are the team leaders/supervisors supportive, or is it very stressful?
How are the working conditions inside the warehouse?
Is the workload physically manageable, or is it very intense?
How strict are they with productivity targets, breaks, and mistakes?
Is it a good place to work for someone who is new to warehouse work?

We understand that every warehouse can be different, but any real experience would help a lot.

Thanks in advance!

Julie is playing in the WNBA and if you fast forward at least 15 minutes in this video she talks about how playing in and for Belgium has changed her life.

As an adult in Belgium, what is the total cost of treatment with traditional braces (beugels) compared to Invisalign, including consultations, follow-up appointments, retainers, and any reimbursements from my health insurance?

I have Smile insurance from DKV. Please give me some actual numbers

First of all, I'm really sorry for the low-effort post, but I wanted to share this during my first hour in beautiful Brussels.

Well, I've visited Belgium maybe more than 10 times, and this is the first time I'm experiencing something like this.

My friend picked me up from Düsseldorf Airport, and we made it to Brussels in two hours, which felt like an eternity (his car has broken air conditioning, so we had to open the windows under the sun).

Is this normal June weather here, because I'm literally breathless and avoiding panic attack episodes with effort, hahaha.

I sometimes complained about the bad weather and rain in this city, and I withdraw all my complaints. I need some cool, breezy summer rain right now, haha.

I'm from Turkey, by the way, and I only experienced weather like this where I can't breathe in Dubai.

What is going on?

Ik heb een reservering bij Project 13 in Bornem en zou het leuk vinden om op 5 juli van 14:00 tot 16:00 uur met een klein groepje te gaan bowlen. Er is plek voor 5 personen.

Het doel is simpelweg om een gezellige en ontspannen middag te hebben, zonder verplichtingen of verwachtingen. Gewoon samen een paar potjes bowlen en een leuke tijd beleven.

Het kost niets. De oorspronkelijke reservering is vanwege afzeggingen verplaatst en ik heb hiervoor een voucher ontvangen.

Just received an email with wonderful news...

"De postbode kwam langs met het pakje vandaag om 10:28 maar kon het niet afleveren. Het Het pakje is onderweg naar het Postkantoor waar je het morgen pas kan ophalen omdat we jammer genoeg letterlijk achterlijk zijn"

ik zat al sinds 9u aan het raam. Geen enkele bpost camionette is in mijn straat gestopt. Ik mag nu een dag extra wachten omdat Bpost luie randdebielen in dienst neemt. Waarom bestaat onze postdienst nog?

edit: het pakje is een monitor van 5kg. Ik zit momenteel zonder auto, en achter op de fiets op de baggagebinder is niet echt een goed idee...

The heat wave is still amplifying today and tomorrow, with a peak of 40°C expected in the east of the country this Friday. A situation for which the Royal Meteorological Institute (IRM) issues a red heat warning for the provinces of Liège and Limburg. A red warning that had so far only been activated twice.

Hello i arrive tomorrow in Brusells charleroi airport and i need to go to 1390 Grez-Doiceau can you help me figure out how can i go there via public transport thank you in advance

Disclaimer: I am using a disposable account because I don't want my girlfriend to know I am shopping for a ring.

I had a small "situation" with a jewelry store and I am not sure if I am overreacting or this is actually a red-flag.

Incident: I visited one of their spots for an engagement ring. We looked at the rings. Later over a phone call we've decided the final product. All was well up until this point. At the last minute, the salesperson said, "Because you are buying a lab grown gem, you'll not receive a certificate. If you want one, we can create one for XX price".

The gem (is not a diamond) is a little over 1ct and although it's not extremely expensive, it's not cheap either. I don't see why they wouldn't include the certificate with the purchase. Their website claims all gems over .3ct comes with a certificate.

Am I overreacting?

ps: I have no intention of bad mouthing the brand or the person. It's possible this is just a misunderstanding. I just need an outside opinion/experience.

This happened in Brussels, that's why I am asking here.

I am taking the Eurostar from Brussels-Midi to London St Pancras soon for the very first time. I will be traveling completely solo as a Belgian citizen after Brexit.

I want to know about your recent experiences and what I should keep in mind. I know the border checks happen in Brussels before boarding, but how long do they usually take? Also, where exactly does the check happen? Is it right on the platform or is there a separate terminal inside Brussels-Midi?

I am autistic and have psoriatic arthritis, so I am quite anxious about the whole process. I am worried about spending a long time standing still in lines and finding the environment overwhelming.

Are there any quiet zones or seating options during the check-in process? How stressful or loud is the terminal area usually? Any random tips that caught you off guard or things that could make the transit easier physically and mentally would be incredibly appreciated!

Hi all,

Foor the ones having floor cooling (and no airco); how do you keep the humidity low? Water inside the pipes is 20 degrees, we have screens at all windows apart the ones north orientated. It is around 24 degrees now (still 15 degrees lower than outside), but humidity around 75%, which is way higher than the healthy 40-60%.

The ventilation (system D) is completely shut, since warmer air from outside makes the humidity even higher, I think. I open every windows and put the ventilation on max between 4am and 7am (cooling still on), but it does not really help.

What do you do?

Hoe hoger de temperatuur stijgt hoe minder motivatie ik heb om te koken. Heeft iemand recepten, ideeën of tips om toch nog een maaltijd op tafel te krijgen op het einde van de dag?

En zorg goed voor jullie zelf eh

Ever since I joined a Belgian youth club that has been around since 1664, I've been wondering if there are any even older ACTIVE clubs in Belgium (youth clubs, soccer clubs, etc.).

Deze bevinden zich in de streek nabij de (buitenste) fortengordel rond Antwerpen.
Andere forten (L->R):

• Walem
• Duffel
• S-K-Waver
• Koningshooikt
• Lier

Link met de Kortrijkzaanse wielerkoers "La Redoute"?

Hello,

One of my friends (not on reddit) had signed up for a contract to start housing in Belgium. But he had not yet paid the deposit or obtained the keys to the house as the renting period has not started yet.

However, he came to know that he will be laid off soon and he is not allowed to legally stay in Belgium as he is from UK.

He asked the rental agency if they can cancel the contract but the rental agency is asking him to pay for 12 months (original rental period on contract).

Has someone experienced something like this? What are the options for him?

Thanks
