Today I let a guy from a handystore install the Paperlike screenprotector on my iPad Air 4. When I came home, within 5 minutes I regretted not using the Paperlike screenprotector sooner. It made me wonder WHY ON FUCKING EARTH DID I INSIST ON GETTING USED TO WRITING ON GLASS.
Writing with Paperlike made the writing experience on the iPad 100% better in an instant. The Apple Pencil doesn’t slither and slide over the surface, controlling the pencil is effortless now. I don’t need an artist glove for my sweaty little paw anymore. And I think I can write longer now, since I hold the pencil much relaxed. Before I would press the pencil so hard on the iPad I worried I would go through it. I also held the pencil so tightly after an hour I could feel the muscles in my wrist contract real hard, making me wonder if I was about to break my wrist again.
I will be honest, the Paperlike does make the iPad screen visibly grainy. But I don’t mind, since the iPad still an overpriced notebook, sketchbook, planner and to-do list for me. And no it doesn’t feel like writing on paper, it just makes it pleasant to write on the iPad. And I have a feeling I will like studying my notes MUCH better, since my eyes will be strained less.
Yes I have seen the youtube vids where people complain that the Paperlike sratches easily, I wonder if that is because people press the pencil too hard? I’ll guess I’ll have to figure that out all by myself. What do I know is I will not go back to writing on glass again (what the fuck was I thinking doing that for almost 7 weeks straight anyways??!!!). I might try other matte screen protectors in the future if this one wears down.
Je bent mooi, je bent lang, slank en blond. Als iemand het gezicht van Nederland moet zijn dan ben jij dat wel. Zeg maar, net zoals Frankrijk Marianne heeft. Wist je trouwens dat het model Laetitia Casta in 1999 was verkozen tot de nieuwe Marianne om vervolgens een jaar later naar Londen te verhuizen. Ze wilde namelijk de hoge belastingen in Frankrijk ontwijken, deze move heeft voor een smakelijke rel gezorgd. Het gezicht van Frankrijk dat Frankrijk ontvlucht, niet echt een Marianne actie.
Ik heb de indruk dat ik de enige ben die vraagtekens heeft bij je relatie met Laurens van Leeuwen. Jij was pas 14 en hij was 19 toen het aanging tussen jullie. Ik geloof echt niet dat hij opeens belangstelling voor je had toen je 14 was. Je was nog maar een kind destijds, net brugpieper af. Toen hij je “verkering vroeg” zei hij kennelijk dit voordat je ja zei “Want, als we het doen, is het voor altijd.’’ Heel creepy om een 14-jarige zo onder druk te zetten. Ik vind Laurens maar een griezelige groomer, ja Romee je bent gegroomed.
Kon Laurens niet op zijn minst wachten tot je 18 was en jou je jeugd gunnen? Het verschil tussen 14 en 19 is gewoon te groot. Dat is niet te vergelijken met 24 en 29. Ik vind dat Laurens je jeugd en de ervaringen die daarbij horen van je heeft afgepakt.
Het verbaasd me dat mensen wel vallen over de relatie van Gio Latooy en Jade van Vliet, ook een relatie waarbij ik mijn vraagtekens heb. Maar dat ik nergens, maar dan ook nergens kritische opmerkingen kan vinden over jouw relatie met Laurens van Leeuwen.
En nee Romee, ik ben niet het type feminist die het empowerement noemt als een oudere vrouw een relatie heeft me een te jonge man. Toen Monique Westenberg een relatie kreeg met de toen 20-jarige Dre Hazes, dacht ik ook bij mezelf “mens zoek een man van je eigen leeftijd”. Dat hij zich nu openlijk afzet tegen “Mama Mo” met een vrouw van zijn eigen leeftijd, verbaast mij dan ook niets. Maar ach, Mo is inmiddels binnen. Zij heeft immers “Dre de Derde” eruit gescheten en dat arme kind exploiteert ze bij elke mogelijkheid die zie heeft. Want deze “Dre” heeft ze namelijk wel onder controle.
My note taking was doing my head in, all those binders, markers etc. etc. taking way too much place in my tiny studio. It is getting problematic, this is what one of my shelves full of notebooks and study books look like. Making it a treasure hunt finding a a specific note.
What also didn’t help is, I am anal retentive when it comes to note taking, I have written about that extensively here. So studying outside the house was not particularly easy as I was carrying my binders, gazillions of markers and my study books.
I have been toying with the idea of buying a tablet for quite some time, here I am discussing my notes being a problem with my real mom S.
I actually was looking at the Remarkble and the likes. But the load times and lack of color and it’s loading time and refresh rate put me off from buying e-ink based tablets. So I stared to look at other options, Samsung got a big NO from me, I hate Andriod it is sluggish just like Windows.
So I was looking at Apple, and the iPad 2020 would have been perfect but the way the Apple Pencil first generation needs to be charged was off putting.
Apple Pencil first generation being charged
So I went for the iPad Air 4, for the sole reason that I like the way the Apple Pencil second generation charges.
Apple Pencil second generation charging
The price difference between the iPad 2020 and iPad Air 4 is huge and not really justifiable for me, since the iPad 2020 is in my budget and the iPad Air 4 is 278 euros out of my budget. Take a look:
Right now that price difference hurt like a mother fucker, since I am broke as fuck. But the way the Apple Pencil first generations needs to be charged would a) annoy the fuck out off me b) make it very easy for me to destroy the pencil.
One off the main reasons I chose for Apple is that you can work with some Apple apps in the iCloud without being logged on to an Apple device. Here is me logging in on the iCloud on my Linux Laptop, through my browser:
I can now, do stuff in my web browser in any of these apps and it will show on my iPad, which for me is a godsend since I am a touch typist. I have a feeling not many people know this, I often see people at work adding appointments in their calendar on their iPhone while sitting in front of a computer…..
The others uses will be the calendar, to do list, notes (not for study material), address book, editing pictures and videos, reading study books. All these things will be done with the “original’ Apple applications that came pre-installed. So far I have downloaded 2 not original Apple apps on my iPad. GoodNotes 5 (which is the best 9 euros ever spent!) and the AdGuard addblocker, and as far as I am concerned I have every intention off keeping it that way.
First of all, I only have 64 GB , secondly I am the kind of person that looks for “native solutions” before downloading an app. Native solutions being, can an original preinstalled Apple app do the ting I want? If so, I’ll do that. I hate devices with gazillions of apps on them.
The iPad will not be my main device, that will be my Linux laptop (a Dell E2750), the iPad is an addition to the laptop for studying. While I am very happy with the iPad, the price off 800 euros for a glorified notebook hurts. I do tell myself, I will save the money in the long run because, I will not buy pencils, phyisical notebook, post-its, markers etc. etc.anymore.
For now I have to live very sober for a couple off months…..
Due to the struggles with my domain name, my blog has been offline since the 8th of March till the 25th of March. So guess which country checked my blog 5 times on the 27th of March, one whole fucking day after I was online again?
Yep, China I already wrote about my suspicions regarding China here. But this stunt really takes all the suspicions I ever had, away. It is a sure thing now, China is checking on me. All because had the audacity to write TWO articles where I criticized the shithole (yes China, there I wrote it) called China.
I guess I know for sure now, when I die chances are China had a thing or two to do with it.
Just in case, I am not planning on committing suicide. And if I ever say good things about China and or the backward honor culture I had the bad luck to be born in, but I managed to escape at 17. Something happened to me, something BAD. Also you can always do the cliccy for the larger piccie.
Als je niets aardigs kunt typen, kun je ook je MacBook dichtklappen en gaan hardlopen.
Je begint deze blog met de mededeling dat jij het in deze tijd bij geen enkele opleiding gered zou hebben. Dat getuigt van realiteitsbesef, want als je nu medisch specialist wil worden dan moet je vanaf 5 vwo je al met relevante dingen bezig houden naast je opleiding (vrijwilligers werk, top sport etc. etc.).
Zelfs je collega arts en column schrijver Joost Zaat, deelt je mening over hoe het er nu aan toe gaat voor mensen die de opleiding geneeskunde willen studeren. Een leuke quote uit zijn column:
“Ik vond me zelf dus net slim genoeg om ‘geneeskunde’ te studeren. Nu kom je daar niet meer mee weg, maar goddank hoefde ik toentertijd mijn keuze niet te motiveren. “
Marijn verder geef je in deze blog, ook toe dat diverse van generatie genoten (mensen die andere toelaten tot de opleiding, je collega artsen etc. etc.) last hebben van hypocrisie. Zij vragen van de huidige generatie toekomstige geneeskunde studenten en/of medisch specialisten om aan eisen te voldoen, waar zij zelf nooit aan zouden kunnen voldoen.
En dan heb jij vervolgens het gore lef om dit te typen:
“Medisch specialist, en chirurg zijn in het bijzonder, is een fantastisch beroep maar niet zaligmakend. Er is echt leven buiten het ziekenhuis en je gaat niet dood als je geen medisch specialist wordt. Sterker nog, als je chirurgie ambieert, ga je vooralsnog bewezen eerder dood als je het wel wordt.”
Lekker makkelijk he, om als “have” te gaan bepalen voor een “have not” wat zaligmakend is. Heb jij je kop zo diep in je kont zitten, dat je niet inziet dat dit niet ok is? Zit je lekker daar in je ivoren torentje (= plek in de maatschap)?
“Dat komt doordat niemand zijn eigen ruiten wil ingooien; voor die ene ‘klager’ heb je immers zo tien anderen. “
De afsluiter in je blog is dan ook letterlijk om te kotsen Marijn:
“Mijn advies aan geneeskundestudenten? Stop collectief met springen. Ga in hemelsnaam lekker aan het barretje staan (geniet, maar drink met mate) als het weer mag straks. Ga naar festivals of feestjes, heb plezier, lees een boek, ontwikkel vriendschappen en ontdek waar jij heen wilt gaan in dit leven. Het is niet jouw verlies als je daarom niet aangenomen wordt als medisch specialist. Het verlies is van ons.“
Je beledigt de intelligentie van geneeskundestundenten door ze adviezen te geven waarmee ze hun kansen aanzienelijk verkleinen. En vervolgens bepaal je ook nog dat het geen verlies voor hen is als ze geen medisch specialist worden, als medisch specialist zijnde met je felbegeerde plekje in een maatschap bij een UMC.
Dit heeft niets te maken, met kort door de bocht zijn, recht voor zijn raap zijn of provocerend bezig zijn om een discussie op gang te brengen. Maar alles met mensen die het al zo moeilijk hebben een onnodige trap na te geven, empathieloze zak stront dat je me er bent.
See http://www.laboinaroja.org is no more, one sweet day I decided to log on to namecheap and it asked for a security pin. This pin was sent to an email address I haven’t logged on in for 16 years. No need to tell you how well that went…
I contacted Namcheap’s customer service and they asked me for details I once filled 16 years ago, like phone number, creditcard details. Details I couldn’t provide, I begged and pleaded with customer support, but they didn’t gave in.
They advised me to contact their risk management department, that department didn’t give a fuck either. I must say, I am impressed with how they guarded that domain. They guarded it so well, that even me the owner for God knows how many years couldn’t get to it. That kind of security made me decide to keep my business at namecheap, no matter how aggravating it was and actually STILL is to lose a domain I have owned for so many years.
So here I am now at http://www.laboinaroja.com, let’s what this will bring. Besides a accepting that the links on the other sites won’t work anymore and I have to change a lot of hyperlinks on this blog.
I must say the new editor called gutenberg, ain’t so bad.
It is this one it only is 15 minutes long. I think this workout is the perfect workout out for people who consider exercise a necessary evil, AKA people like me.
I do this work out on this mat
Due to the dimensions of this mat I can do the entire workout on the mat (granted I am 5’3), and I don’t need to wear shoes. Leslie always advices against bare feet, but this mat is so thick you don’t need shoes. I bought this mat at Aldi in 2017, it is not only cheap but very durable. The quality is good too,it doesn’t have dents of my feet imprinted on it (unlike other expensive mats I used ). And yes people, I have the pink mat.
You can do this entire workout on the mat mentioned above, because the workout doesn’t have double sidesteps or sidesteps where you move forward or backward. When I have to take 4 steps forward and backward, I just turn 90 degrees. Since Leslie mentions in advance when you will have to take 4 steps forward and backward, I have time to move to one side of the mat and turn 90 degrees.
Why I like this workout so much? It is only 15 minutes, it doesn’t contain squats (I hurt my god-damn knees if I do those without supervision) or this movement.
Yes, I also hurt my knees when I do this movement, a lunge, without supervision. I am not the most gifted exerciser in the world . There is a reason why I take Pilates class where the instructor doesn’t participate but instead walks around and corrects people. I consider Leslie Sansone workout to be better then regular walking, this workout elevates my heart much more. Plus I make movements during this workout, I don’t make during a walk.
But most importantly my Pilates instructor, who is a Pilates snob who only teaches classical Pilates thank you very much, approves of this workout. This is what she wrote when I wrote her about the Leslie Sansone work out:
Notice the digg at Stott Pilates (she hates everything that is not classical Pilates) . The digg at Stott Pilates is, because I love one of their Pilates routines. I will write about that routine another time.
What I basically do for workout is, during weekends, holidays etc. etc. (basically days off) I do the Leslie Sansone workout in the morning and during working days I do the Pilates routine in the evening (if I don’t have Pilates class). Yes people one workout a day, why should I do both? You guys are trying kill me over here.
Since great content has tendency to disappear, like this brilliant vid for example. I hosted the workout vin on my blog you can find it here. Remember you can always do the cliccie for a larger piccie.
Exactly one year ago, on the first of January 2020. I went out for dinner with someone who flew back from Italy that morning. She (I will call her X from now on) spent three weeks in Italy celebrating the holidays with her family. See normally when people fly back from abroad, they leave they airport as quickly as possible to head home. Not X though, when she arrived on Schiphol Airport that day, she spent hours hanging around on the airport by herself while drinking cappuccinos
When she finally headed home she sent me a text, asking me if I had plans for tonight. I said I didn’t, so she invited me to have dinner with her in a restaurant. We sat there in close proximity (as was normal back then) eating and talking for hours. I noticed X had a cold, she was sneezing and had a runny nose. I didn’t think anything off it, after all it was winter everyone gets a cold right?
So on the 12th of January I got ill. People who know me, know I never get ill. And if I get ill, I don’t complain, hence the image “Janice never gets ill”.
But this time it was different. I got a fever that just wouldn’t GO THE FUCK AWAY! I took the maximum allowed Ibuprofen and the still the fever stayed which was shocking, since 1 Ibuprofen used to be sufficient. So being the smart person I am I decided to take 5 more Ibuprofen more then is allowed without consulting a doctor Normally I am not this retarded I swear but I couldn’t think straight due to the fever. Taking the 5 extra Ibuprofen didin’t help btw, the fever lasted for 6 days. During those 6 days I literally couldn’t do shit, besides lying in bed watching Chateau Meiland and complain to everyone about how ill I am.
After those 6 days I went back to work, I still had a cold and a runny nose. One off the things I noticed after my initial illness there was a shortness of breath and me being dizzy. These two things lasted till April at least. But I didn’t think much of it in the beginning. I thought the shortness of breath had to with my age and sedentary lifestyle. The dizziness I blamed on being vegetarian and not getting enough carbs, I am the kind of person who struggles to eat 150 grams carbs a day.
So when COVID-19 started getting mentioned on the news a lot, like in early February 2020, I didn’t think much about the fever I had. Hell, back then I didn’t take COVID-19 serious, even though I saw on the news how it played out for Italy. I took COVID-19 seriously when a Dutch doctor went nuclear on my ass, after I told him that “COVID-19 is just a flu” this was on Friday the 13th of March. Two days before the first partial lock down was announced on the the 15th of March 2020. It got me thinking about the fever I had early in January 2020 and shortness of breath and the dizziness I was still suffering from.
I took the first partial lock down very seriously, yes people I went to the supermarket to haul on toilet paper and certain foods. I tried to do it undercover without the help of S. (my real mom). I told her specifically that I went to haul stuff in several supermarkets undercover.
Yet she still advised me to ask the supermarket manager to ask when a load of non-perishable stuff would arrive, way to blow my cover mom.
Then she asked me to take a picture of my cart in while being in the supermarket, yes mom that is really a thing someone should do while hauling stuff undercover Taking proudly pictures of their cart in the supermarket.
Then she had the audacity to laugh at my cabinets where I stored my haul (People, I live in a very tiny studio so there is not much to store.)
Ooh, regarding X, I never discussed with her whether I might have gotten COVID-19 from her or not. After that dinner I kind off stopped talking to her. It was not about getting the virus from her, but her openly preying on under-age boys while going out with me.
I do wonder though if she brought COVID-19 to Rotterdam and made it spread like wildfire. See X is an expat, she came to the Netherlands in June 2019. And ever since she seems to have one, and only one hobby which is going through Tinder like a mad woman. Every Friday and Saturday night she fucks a different guy, obviously that is not enough So she also has a 19 year old fuck buddy on the side. This fuck buddy is a student whose part time job is delivering groceries. Till this day it amazes that Brabant was the first Dutch location where COVID-19 became problematic and not Rotterdam due to X her side activities.
A couple of months ago wordpress.com decided to ditch the classical editor and make the block editor the default. Boy, do I hate that FUCKING BLOCK EDITOR OR WHAT Anyways, if you don’t want to upgrade to a business plan with wordpress.com, so you can make the Classical Editor your default editor again. Then you can use these workarounds, if you are on a Premium plan. I’ll show you how you can create and edit posts in the Classical Editor.
Click on “WP Admin”
Then click on “All Posts” don’t clik on “New Posts” it will open that lousy “Block Editor“!
If you want to create a new post then click on the drop down menu next to “Add New” and choose “Classical Editor“.
If you want to edit a post, scroll down to said post, hover above it with your mouse and choose “Classical Editor”
Here are two youtube vids created by me. Showing you the steps I mentioned above.
