Hi everyone! We're really craving Asian food—especially Vietnamese or something similar. We saw on Google that Pho Pho is listed as temporarily closed. Does anyone know if that's actually true, or if it's open? Also, we'd love any recommendations for other great Asian food spots around Florence. Thanks!

Hoi allemaal! Ik ben op zoek naar een kamer in een gedeeld appartement met andere werkenden (midden/eind 20 tot begin 30). Bij veel algemene Facebook-groepen (zoals Kamers in Utrecht) krijg ik de indruk dat de meeste advertenties zich voornamelijk richten op studenten.
Weten jullie fijne platforms, apps, specifieke Facebook-groepen of netwerken waar vooral werkende woningzoekenden/huisgenoten te vinden zijn? Alle tips zijn heel erg welkom! Thanks alvast!

Hi everyone! I’m looking for a room in a shared apartment with other working professionals (mid/late 20s to early 30s). I’ve noticed that most general Facebook groups (like Kamers in Utrecht) seem to target students almost exclusively.
Does anyone know of good platforms, apps, specific Facebook groups, or networks tailored more toward working house hunters and roommates? Any tips are greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
Budget: €1500
Country: Netherlands
Use Case: A mix of work and occasional gaming (currently playing Age of Empires and Cities: Skylines, but probably want to play heavier games in the future)
Preferred Specs: i7 or Ryzen 7, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD, RTX 5060 or RTX 5070
Notes:
I need help choosing between three laptops that all cost exactly €1500 where I live:
LENOVO LOQ 15IRX10: 15.6" Full HD | i7-13650HX | 32GB RAM | 1TB SSD | RTX 5070
LENOVO Legion 5 15IRX10: 15.1" WQXGA | i7-13650HX | 32GB RAM | 1TB SSD | RTX 5060
HP OMEN 16-ap0771nd: 16" WQXGA 240Hz | Ryzen AI 7 350 | 32GB RAM | 1TB SSD | RTX 5060
My main questions:
Build Quality: Since they cost the same, which chassis/cooling is best for everyday work or gaming?
GPU Limits: Will the RTX 5060 be a massive bottleneck on the sharp WQXGA screens of the Legion/OMEN? Or should I sacrifice screen quality and grab the LOQ just for that RTX 5070?
Any important specs I'm missing?
Any other laptops around €1500 I should look at?
Me (27M) and my BF (33M) have been together for 2 years, and this is the happiest I've ever been. We both have careers we’re invested in, love traveling the world and have friends and family we love and who support us.
Recently, the topic of wanting kids has started to come up again. My bf has always been clear, he has no natural desire to have kids and wants to spend his life pursuing other endeavors.
I've always been on the fence about it. I've always “seen” myself as ending up with kids and can't seem to get rid of this future image of myself. We’ve had conversations on this topic, but it wasn’t really an issue and I hoped I would eventually “grow out of it”.
Now we’ve come to a natural point where our relationship is ready for a next step: living together. While I love the idea of living together and spending more time together it's hard for me to get rid of my vision of having children and therefore can't seem to fully commit to a future with my bf.
Now we've discussed this and we've concluded that I am the one that has to make a move. Either I choose him, or we choose to break up and I pursue my dream of having kids. My bf stated that he can’t wait on the sidelines for months/years for me to figure this out, which I 100% understand.
To figure out what I want, we're now on an one week break with little to no contact. However, it's only been a day and I can't stop crying over the fact that I might lose him. I feel super conflicted. On the one hand I don't want to get rid of my dream of having kids and on the other hand I don't want to lose him.
I’m interested in perspectives and experiences from both sides! How would (or did) you handle this? How would you decide? How would you cope? Right now I'm lost and I'm close to ditch my dream of having kids because I can't stand the idea of not seeing him anymore (and I just want to see him now). Although I do feel like that might be a too quick of a decision to make and also a decision based on an emotion. Any suggestions will do!
TLDR: I want kids, my BF of two years does not. We’re happy but deciding if we want to stay together to build a life, or if I should go and chase his dreams of having kids.
