Won't be buying again

I have to say I'm disappointed in the quality. The magnetic ring broke off quickly and the back of my phone is shattered already, while I didn't even drop it that hard. I have never had this with any other phone case.. Also the wireless charging does not work. Why would you sell a magsafe case and not test the wireless charging?

My second Casio and first Analog-Digital

Bought this on holiday with 50% off (from €120 to €60) and I just could not pass it. They also had some different ones and some G-shocks with 50% off, but I didn't want to rush my collection (and I want to keep my parents happy because I collect too much stuff😅). It has every digital function I need and the looks of an Analog watch. Only downside is the limited visibility of the lower LCD screen when the minute hand is between 25 and 35.

Thinking about buying a Nato strap for it..

Young kids working as street performers?

Today I visited the city centre of Cologne. When I walked from Schildergasse to Neumarkt I saw a family performing with their young kids. The father and son were both playing guitar. I thought nothing much of it. When I walked 100 meters further into Zeppelin Strasse I came across another family, also with young kids, also with the father and son playing the guitar, who were I think from the same descent and were playing the EXACT same song.

This really made me think that there is some kind of organisation behind these families, just like the beggar gangs who all use the exact same signs around big city centres. Does anyone know if this is true? If so is there an organization that protects these children against child labour?

Bought my first Casio watch, got a bit bamboozled

I bought my first Casio today on holiday in Germany. I showed the lady behind the counter a picture of a B640, because I read that it has a countdown timer, which I really wanted for my gym sessions. She said that they didn't have it in black, so she brought out a dark metal one, which apparently was an A158. Me being an absolute Casio noob did not notice this and bought it regardless. (I asked her about the countdown but I think In accidentally said 'stopwatch', thinking it could do both).

I do like the watch tho, only thing is I will have to keep an eye on my watch during rest in the gym.

Too good to be true [PRX Powermatic 80]

I spotted this watch in the window of an authorized dealer in Düsseldorf for €395 (retail price €775). I immediately realized that the price was the same as that of a PRX Quartz, but for an automatic model. Although I knew there was little chance of getting the watch for that price, I gave it a try anyway. Unfortunately without success. The watch was too bulky for my wrist size anyway.. It is a beautiful watch tho

First Seiko (for half the retail price) [SRPB41J1]

My first Seiko and one of the most beautiful dials they ever made in my opinion. I wanted to get a blue dial Presage Cocktail but was hesatating between different models and was planning to go to the local jeweler when I had time. Out of curiosity I checked 'marktplaats', the Dutch variant of ebay and saw this 7 months old 'blue moon' that was just posted. This was one of my top 3 blue dial Presages and I could just not pass this deal.

The dial was being advertised as completely unscratched, but unfortunately I've found some scratches. I do not blame the man because he was older and maybe he just didn't see them. Does anyone have experience with polishing hardlex?

Why does fragrantica allow this clear botting?

I came across Nusuk Sama om Instagram and saw it getting very high scores (4.7 average) on fragrantica. Upon further inspection, I saw a lot of Eternal and Enormous scores on the performance reviews, while this summer fragrances performance is not that good. Also the rest of the score is almost is almost all Moderate. A healthy page would normally show an increasing, decreasing, or piramide-like pattern.

I'm still interested in the fragrance, but this really breaks my trust in this website.

Friendly reminder: Smeer je in, ook als de zon niet schijnt

Vandaag een heerlijk dagje wezen zwemmen bij een openlucht zwembad. Er was geen straaltje zon te bekennen, dus ik heb mijzelf niet ingesmeerd. Niet wetende dat je ook kan verbranden bij dichte bewolking. Nu ben ik helemaal rood :(

Lesje geleerd. Leer alsjeblieft van mijn les.

Slaap lekker

Verandering verhouding aanvullende beurs en inkomen ouders?

Hallo allemaal, ik zat laatst de vergoedingen van mijn studie financiering terug te kijken, aangezien mijn recht hierop eindigt en het viel mij op dat ik het eerste jaar bijna niks heb gekregen. Dit was het laatste schooljaar voordat de basisbeurs terug werd ingevoerd. Ook valt het mij op dat mijn aanvullende beurs de eerste 2/3 jaar aanzienlijk is gestegen (100 euro per jaar), terwijl het inkomen van mijn ouders grotendeels hetzelfde is gebleven (circa 55.000 belastbaar inkomen).

Ik heb zojuist online een tool gevonden waarmee je de aanvullende beurs kan berekenen. Dit lijkt momenteel te kloppen. Is het dan zo dat de grens voor wat je ouders mogen verdienen om in aanmerking te komen voor de aanvullende beurs aanzienlijk is gedaald of denken jullie dat ik de eerste jaren benadeeld ben? En zijn er misschien mensen met dezelfde ervaring?

SPKIV Netherlands Player Version and longsleeve hollywood

I have just received my order after 2 weeks, which is pretty decent and just what I expected.

First the player shirt looks and feels decent. Only downside is really tight fit around my arms, which I did not have with the player version from previous generation. I don't understand the sizing, because I got L (usually I wear M) and the length is perfect, but on the site it says for 170-175cm, while I'm 187cm tall. I think XL would be a better fit considering the width but I'm afraid it would be too long.

About the long sleeve: everything except the crest on the bottom looks decent. The shirt looks weird on me because it's really tight around my shoulders and arms while it should fit like an oversized/puffy shirt/sweater originally. I didn't want to get too big off a size because I was afraid the collar would be too loose. Unfortunately it's still pretty loose. I should have order at least one size bigger. I will also let my dad put this one on and wash it in cold water, maybe the fit will change.

To mention: When I went to pay, the price weirdly changed to pounds, so the final cost was €4 euros higher, but it was still a really decent price. Way more decent then my last haul!

FINAL VERDICT: trustworthy site, decent clothes, I suggest going 1.5-2 sizes higher then normal and ordering shirts that would sell many, because I feel the suppliers put more effort into those. I think this would solve most problems.

I didn't want to get too big off a size because I was afraid the collar would be too loose. Unfortunately it's still pretty loose. The sweater should fit like an oversized/puffy shirt/sweater according to nike, but it just looks really weird on my body. I will also let my dad put this one on and wash it in cold water, maybe the fit will change.

Just got my hands on this. I'm trying to collect iconic (cop) cars from Need For Speed games that I've played. If you know more cars like this please share them :)

I have the link for this one, but I don't know if I'm allowed to share. DM is open

BACK UP YOUR SAVE DATA!

I can not stress this enough, please back up your save data at least once either physically or online! My game just crashed while playing Need For Speed Most Wanted 2012 while going for platinum. When I restarted my PS3 the save files were corrupted: 14 years of my childhood game progress GONE. Luckily when I went to buy PS Plus to view my cloud data there still was a save file from 2020 for the game, but if it were any other game I would have lost it all!
