They could be M1, M2, or Just 1-2-3, is there a story behind 50-51-52 etc? Also, isn't it strange that it starts with 50, and not 51?

Just bought my first electric guitar. More experienced friends recommended that I bring it to a luthier who can adjust it and fix anything wrong with it out of the factory (it's a rather inexpensive guitar so i'd expect that). Any recommendations? quick Reddit search didn't do much, either some non-existing websites or some music shops

Hey everyone,

On 23 april I got a Stroopwafel cookie on the Kwakersplein near the cafe Karavaan.

This was for a marketing stunt for the new album of Dua Lipa - Radical Optimism.

Does someone know where the video of this campaign is posted?

So it seems that getting a very good sandwich bread to make sandwiches at home is harder than it should be.

I am looking for something like a ciabatta for example or a focaccia, but it could also be something like a pistolet in shape as I think that the average good baguette (e.g. Le Fournil) is not the best choice for a good sandwich. American hoagie rolls would be nice too but I feel like I have never seen anything like that around here.

What are your go to places ideally around oost or maybe de pijp too?

Some good ones I tried so far are for example Le Salonard (De Pijp - recently closed though) or I really liked Louf in west but that's pretty far. Other popular places in my area like Hartog's or Bakhuys don't really have great choices in this category.

On a side note what about burger buns? My go to choice usually is the brioche buns from vlaamsch broodhuys but I hope there are other better choices out there.

I am looking for a female babysitter for my two children of 2 (girl) and 4 (boy). Location Amsterdam Oost. This would be mostly about evenings between 1900-2300.

Earlier I had succes finding someone through Reddit, but she moved away to another city, so let's try again.

Why is it SO difficult to get tested?? Amsterdam being such an open city, I expected way better. Impossible to get a GGD appointment unless you're under 25 or Sex worker basically... Otherwise you'll be on a list forever.

I checked the private ones, 110€ for a test?!! This is insane. Why is it not more accessible??

Please confine your discussion of current events at UvA to this thread. We will be moderating very strictly here. If things get too heated this will get locked.

• Keep your discussion relevant to Amsterdam. This is not the place for a debate about Israel and Palestine. There are other subreddits better suited for that sort of debate.
• Insults directed at other users will get you a ban.

I passed Grimburgwal today for the first time since the protest and I was half expecting destruction and graffiti that I saw that day. I am surprised that it’s very well cleaned up! Kudos to the gemeente for being so quick. Stuff like these normally takes weeks or months! <3

Hi guys! I am going to renew by appartment terrace in Amsterdam . I am struggling to find where I can find a fence like the picture. Does anyone know? Thanks a lot!

Walking by the Holocaust museum today at about 3:00 pm on Plantage Middenlaan I saw about 8 police vans (paddy wagons) and a dozen cops on motorcycles turning onto Plantage Kirklaan. That's not in the direction to the University really, so I don't know if it was related.

This isn’t really a post I’d like to be making, but today at about 12pm I (26F) was assaulted today at the bottom of the bridge by Jan Vroegopsingel (near the rowing club) at about 12:30pm.

I run this route a few times a week and it’s a very popular route for both males and female runners. I’ve never had any issues on this route, even at night. As I was at the base of the bridge, I felt a hard smack on my backside that was so hard it almost pushed me on to the road in front. The man who did it, did it as he cycled past on a swapfiets, wearing a black hoodie. A very kind man nearby tried to cycle after him but he gained speed and disappeared soon afterwards.

I probably should’ve taken more details but I was in shock standing there at what just happened. I phoned 112 after about 30 minutes when I got home, and they have reported the man and my brief description of him to the police.

I’ve never felt unsafe in Amsterdam running before this, so I feel pretty shaken up by this. Just want to warn other female runners to be alert- although I’m not really sure what you could do to avoid this.

EDIT: Thank you so much to everyone for their really supportive comments and resources. It’s really appreciated and I’m feeling a lot better now.

But quite disappointed in the comments questioning how an unsolicited slap to my ass as I’m running is sexual assault.

Hello,

My friend is a pilot and he has offered to take me on a single engine aircraft flight above the Netherlands.

He asked me to pick a location fly over, so I was wondering if anyone here has some tips about the best areas to see while flying.

Thanks!

EDIT: Thank you all for the great suggestions.

I am trying to find a fabric store that sells fabrics like nylon, softshells, and fleece in Amsterdam or nearby cities. Does anyone have recommendations? Thanks

Hey everyone!

I am trying to find a man that removes stickers in his free time. He primarily removes stickers in Amsterdam Oost and is 40-60 years old. I recently heard him being mentioned in a conversation, but I want to contact him. He has an Instagram account (which I do not know the accountname of) and removes stickers from public places like streetlight poles, benches and transformers. Does anyone know anything about him? Thank you in advance!

Hallo allemaal!

Ik ben op zoek naar een man die stickers verwijdert in zijn vrije tijd. Hij verwijdert voornamelijk stickers in Amsterdam Oost en is 40-60 jaar oud. Ik hoorde hem onlangs in een gesprek genoemd worden, maar ik wil contact met hem opnemen. Hij heeft een Instagram account (waarvan ik de accountnaam niet weet) en verwijdert stickers van openbare plekken zoals lantaarnpalen, banken en transformers. Weet iemand iets over hem? Alvast bedankt!

Hey (ladies, sorry gents)

I was wondering if anyone is aware of a women’s pool league in Amsterdam? If not, I was thinking of starting one myself if anyone is interested. Reply if you’d like to join something like that and I’ll get in touch with a few pool bars!

Thanks

It's been a while since there has been one of these posts. Here we go again!

I'm just curious if any musicians would be interested in hanging out for a jam session some time? I'm thinking to rent a few hours in a rehearsal space, get some people together, and make some magic.

I play guitar, mainly blues influenced classic rock, 60s, 70s, and psychedelic stuff. I played in bands and frequently played live in my late teens and early 20s so am well used to a band setting (35m, for what its worth). These days, I just play for my own enjoyment. I'm wondering if anybody would be interested in getting together to make music similar to the genres I mentioned? Originals, covers, doesn't matter - I'm just looking for a bit of fun and socialising. If it goes well, I also have experience recording, mixing, and mastering, which might come in handy down the line!

Hoi ledereen! I'm wondering if anyone knows of some music communities in ams or any bands that are looking for a singer:) I'm into rock and psychedelic rock and punk and jazz too. Didn't know if there were any places to poke my head in to find some potential musicians to jam with or if i should just go old- school and put up a flier in the city. Any advice helps, bedankt!

I was in Westlandgracht tram station with my gf today around 4pm. Two guys threw a can of redbull at us (hit my gf face) and my gf threw it back at them. Suddenly they started coming at us and aggressively asked us regarding on why we threw the can at them?? They started harassed us afterwards, shouting “do you want to fight?” and asking for money. They even shout at us “Filipino! Filipino! Go away!” (We’re not even Filipino).

Wtf is going on? How likely this to be happen in Amsterdam? On a bright sunny day? I lived in the UK for almost two years (London & Leeds) and this has never happened to me there, even after a very late night out. Today is my fourth day in Amsterdam and I’m very surprised that this was happening to me.

Sorry for my bad english.

Hi, new flooring laid terribly! Over cutting and underlay wasn't replaced. I'm looking for recommendations of good companies or contractors to have it replaced? I've not had good luck with contractors so far and getting pretty tired of it. . . I've tried a couple of recommended companies I've seen mentioned but they don't reply. I've tried Google but i only get generic flooring companies and i want to get someone who does floors! All help and advice welcome
