Wat waren de gewoontes en culturele aspecten van de Batavii?

Ik kan nergens informatie vinden over wat de Batavii geloofden (naast een bepaalde Romeinse god die zij hadden vermengd met een eigen religieuze insteek). Ook kan ik nergens vinden wat zij deden qua culturele activiteiten, feesten, gewoonten/gewoontes, hoe zij hun maatschappij hadden ingericht of *hoe* zij zonder formatie te verliezen met paard en harnas de Rijn over konden steken op plaatsen die te diep waren om te staan.

Heeft iemand hier informatie over?

How did you become a better commercial contracts / transactions lawyer/legal counsel?

Please share what you focussed on and what you think separates a bad one from a good one, and a good one from a fantastic one!

People working big law in the EU: how does your salary compare to the US?

And how did you get started in your position? What do you do?

I feel like in the EU, we get a fraction of the salary for the same work, even if you work at the biggest law firm of the EU Member State you reside in. Is that feeling correct?

Best contract management tools you have encountered/use?

If you have hundreds of contracts per year and wanted a tool to easily manage them, which tool would you use, and why?

I'm looking for a contract management tool that has the following functions/features:

- notification system to notify me X amount of days before a contract automatically renews or to remind me to cancel a contract / start negotiations.

- document saving system that ideally is locally hosted, or cloud hosted in the EU, that allows me to add 10+ documents to a contract. Bonus points if I can save the redlines per negotiation round to the contract entry.

- either easy to fill in or automatic recognition of the notice period, start and end date, initial term and renewal term(s), automatic renewal y/n, ideally allows for conditional termination terms that you can pre-select as your preferred method of termination, so that you get alerted on that term rather than the other potential terms and/or notice periods. I.e.: the tool allows the creation of different termination methods, such as regular termination by notice (30d), termination through switching EU data act (3m), or termination through termination for convenience EU data act (2m), and then allows me to select the preferred one and bases my notification rule on that (60d prior to such trajectories: notify me to start negotiations)

- nice to have: a dashboard or integration with financial planning tools to determine how much we spend overall / per contract / per contract category, and how much we have spent of the budget in a particular contract if it is a fixed-budget contract with t&m hours.

- nice to have: being able to add tasks to the contract and attach them to other people. For example: review received documents, or check whether this part of the agreement has actually been carried out according to what was agreed upon.

- Very good security, EU data storage or locally stored, liability of tool supplier for data breaches, strong confidentiality protection, reasonable terms.

How realistic is it to expect no exclusion of indirect/special/punitive damages in IT contracts?

Am I expecting too much? I find it striking how many suppliers seem to be unwilling to strike their clause excluding all indirect, special and punitive damages, including loss of profits, loss of revenue, third party damages, delayed damages, consequential damages, etc.

Their liability is often still capped to the Fees payable in the 12 months prior to the event from which the damages arise.

Direct damages in IT then often mean only physical damages, which is a very rare occurrence when it concerns SaaS only. In sales of goods I am pretty sure that such exclusions are much more uncommon. In IT though, every supplier attempts it. How realistic is it to expect them to remove that clause?

It goes hand-in-hand with the common warranty clause that states that the software is in material conformity with the Documentation, and that if that is not the case, the supplier will either refund the client the unused prepaid Fees, or fix the non-conformity, as the sole remedy of client and supplier's sole liability for breach of this warranty. Consequently, if the software doesn't do what it is supposed to do, such as a malfunction that causes our customer data to become corrupted, we have no remedies available to claim the damages arising from said malfunction.

Surely companies do not accept these egregious terms from IT suppliers if the former are of similar size or greater than the latter?

Questions regarding the jobtitle "general counsel"

I am the sole legal counsel for a large client of mine, and I do tasks such as commercial contracting, negotiations, handling pre-litigation conflicts, advising on privacy law and handling ad-hoc questions. Would that fit the title "general counsel"? And how much better is that title perceived than legal counsel?

[Discussion] Icebreaker and blackout storyline will lead to Black division creating zombies

Both icebreaker and blackout refer to the black division doing reckless things with hazardous biomaterial. Both are themed with poisonous gas and gasmasks. In Res2 on labs, which is a section of labs that got released with the last zombie event, you can find people with gas masks also. I believe this storyline will result in zombies being created in an update around Halloween. I hope they will have their AI's fixed before the launch, and some extra story attached to it!

[Discussion] Any tool available to help learn visually what bullet type is in the mag?

High end players can look at the inspect screen of mags they picked up during a raid and look inside the mag from above to see which bullet type is in it. Is there any tool to teach you which bullet types it is.

Any stats available on building range per road type or optimal city planning to include all necessary buff buildings?

I would like to have a layout that contains all the buff buildings for the needs of all levels of population, to manage fire health and happiness stats too, in an optimal layout that builds towards future unlocks as it progresses so minimal moving/deleting is required.

If that does not exist, I'll make it myself, but need the range + range increase per road type of every buff building for that.

New build - any testers?

I am an Emerald player and made a new build for Viktor mid (only if enemies are relatively squishy and/or you are the sole AP champ on your team):

Ludens

Gluttonous boots

Shadow flame

Storm surge

Raba

Hourglass / void / cryptbloom / lich bane

Why it's good: lots of flat armour pen, huge amount of AP damage and burst, which works really well with going in and out during team fights while you wait for your CD's. You may think: "this build is such a glass cannon build!" And indeed it is, but the gluttonous boots give you a lot of omnivamp while also allowing you to deal roughly the same amount of extra damage that the sorc boots would grant you with this build. You heal a huge amount with them, in a recent game I healed 30% more than a fed Darius did that game. This really helps you survive despite being a glass cannon, and nearly makes you as safe as a cosmic drive liandry's would do, while dealing a fuckton more damage.

Of course, burst damage that could instantly kill you without getting the chance to use your spells to heal it all back is something you need to avoid with this build. That does require you to anticipate high threat enemies better, so spacing is a vital skill you need to be somewhat good at in order for this build to be effective.

I'm looking for people around my ELO or higher to test this build and report their findings. How did it feel for you? Do you see any optimalisation s?

Edit: I routinely do the most damage in the game with this build and sometimes do more damage than their adc and midlaner combined.

Have you ever been snaked by superiors? How did you manoeuvre around it?

My manager once asked me to work on a case with a new senior that came into our firm. I contacted her, but she said she'd do the work by herself. A few months later I found out that she told my manager that I refused to work with her because of billable hours. I luckily was able to show him my Teams messages. She later left the firm for another job, so luckily I don't need to deal with her anymore. But has anyone here ever found themselves in a vipers pit like that? How did you deal with it?

I also noticed that when you are a junior, you have to be extremely cautious with how you communicate to medior/senior colleagues, especially when you have particular insights that they do not. I learned that only some people will appreciate it. I would recommend to first scope out whether your lead is receptive to any input from you, before giving input. Fellow juniors, did you also experience this?
