Anyone down for a no stakes Poker Game?

In short, I’m a 19M INTL student who really enjoys the probability side of card games, back in my home country I used to play a lot of poker with my friends ( no real money, we just assigned values to a chip set that I had and played with that ) but since coming here I haven’t met anyone that knows the game, and it’s hard to explain and play with new people because explaining concepts of probability and bluffing/calling etc takes a very long time. Would anyone be down to organize a chill game sesh? There would be no money or anything, I just play for the sake to win (non-monetary) and it would be nice if I could meet like minded individuals !!!

NS Groningen - Amsterdam

I commute weekly for work in Amsterdam and usually I have to exchange trains 1 or 2 times. Does anyone happen to know how come there is a direct train from Groningen to Amsterdam and the other way around for Monday and Tuesday next week? Is this some kind of an experiment?

An active R programming user group in Groningen?

Is there an active R programming users group in Groningen? I checked the internet, and I found one, but it seems they are inactive now.

Community garden?

Hey all, I would like to try to grow some vegetables but I don’t have a garden myself. Does anyone know of any urban farm/community garden in Groningen and, in case, how one could join that?

Wat valt jullie op?

Ik kan altijd lang kijken naar dit soort kaarten. Zijn er dingen die jullie opvallen?

Mij viel op dat Bellingwolde in Duitsland lijkt te liggen, dat Midwolda aan zee ligt en dat Winschoten met een ringel S wordt geschreven.

Nederland (Groningen) in de jaren 1919 in kleur, w/ sound design added

Ik weet niet of dit eerder is gedeeld hierin maar ik heb recentelijk deze video van groningen van meer dan 100 jaar oud gevonden en dacht dat jullie hier ook wel van zouden genieten. Ik wist totaal niet dat er vroeger trams waren hier.

Airtag or similar in the bike

Hi what is the best tracker I can put into my bike to find it back if someone should steal it? I have an Android so maybe the airtag is not the smartest idea.

Hanze University reviews are needed (Spacial Design)

Hi! This year I am going to apply for Spacial design program, which regrettably is not available everywhere in English. So I'm thinking about applying to Hanze University. If you or maybe your friends have had any experience there, please share your opinion. I'm really confused. Thanks in advance

What's the best place to buy used bike parts?

Hi I would like to repair some old bikes and was wondering where I could find used bike parts and as well the best -not online- place to get new bike parts for cheap.

Marktplaats/FBmarketiplace is not what I am looking for.

For example: where would I get used bike seats or new braking system or used dynamo etc...

Thankssss

Lead water pipes in the house

Hey guys, we found a water leak in our house today and contacted a plumber, upon the plumbers arrivals and inspection, he mentioned that the water pipes in the house are lead pipes. The issue is minimized but not fully fixed as and to fully solve the issue the whole system must be changed.

Now the other issue is that we weren’t aware of the lead pipes when renting the apartment and we have been consuming lead water for over a year now, some background about the house is that it’s a really old house, probably built around 1930s. I doubt that the landlord would change the piping system as it costs a lot.

Are there any actions that we, as tenants can take? We are going to immediately get lead tests done too!

Pharmacies

Hey guys, I moved about 3 months ago and around a month ago registered with pharmacy Venema for my prescription meds, due to it being the closest pharmacy to me. The lady was horrible to me and apparently not just to me, the reviews all share very similar experiences. What pharmacy has decent customer service to non dutch speaking people? Because I was very mistreated for no reason, and don’t want to go through that every time I have to get any medication. I live near noorderhaven, what other pharmacies are near by? preferably walking distance. Have any of you had a bad experience at that pharmacy?

Appartement gezocht!

Hallo allemaal! Mijn partner en ik willen ASAP naar Groningen verhuizen voor mijn werk. We hebben een tig aantal appartementen, studios en huizen bezocht maar het blijft maar niet lukken. Hij is bang dat het komt doordat hij een internationale student is, maar wie weet.

Ik heb een klein fortuin in verschillende sites gestopt en heb zon beetje iedere ad op marktplaats en Facebook marketplace die niet met 100% zekerheid een scam is een bericht gestuurd.

Heeft iemand een goude tip? Een kennis? Ik waardeer alle shorten help.

How difficult is it to find a part time job (up to 32 hours) in hospitality with only basic/intermediate English?

I only have experience as a waiter in my country, but since I am not fluent in English I will not consider this position, but rather as a dishwasher, where a basic knowledge of English should be enough.
I have also started learning Dutch with the app duolingo.

  • Is there demand in this field of work?
  • Do I need to have a registered address to be hired? I will be temporarily hosted by friends.
  • Is part time work available? I already have an online income, so I am looking for part time (up to 32 hours).

I tried looking for this information on the web but found confusing information.
Thanks in advance to those who decide to respond.

Clubs buiten de eenheidsworst van de Peperstraat.

Ik ben al tig jaar woonachtig in en rondom Groningen. Nu eind twintig en tijdens mijn studentenleven kwam ik wekelijks in de Peperstraat/Gelkingestraat. De laatste jaren is dat één grote eenheidsworst geworden met ranzige "clubs", agressief volk, opgesnoven bouncers en dezelfde muziek op standje 10.000 decibel. Daarnaast mag je blij wezen als je wat loopruimte hebt in een gelegenheid. Verschrikkelijk druk is het doorgaans.

Waarschijnlijk ken ik alle plekken wel in deze stad, maar voor de zekerheid gooi ik hier de vraag toch nog even op. Ken je nog andere soorten etablissementen c.q. uitgaansgelegenheden waar je een drankje kan halen, muziekje kan luisteren, wellicht een klein dansje wagen maar nog wel enigszins je gehoor kan behouden en je niet op de voeten gelopen wordt?

Warhol ken ik als een goed voorbeeld voor de liefhebber en je hebt natuurlijk buiten het centrum her en der wat "bruine" kroegen waar je kan zitten maar dat is net niet het type wat ik voor ogen heb. Misschien is dit het ook gewoon.

Cheers.

Are there any free writing groups or clubs in the city?

Just like the title says, does anyone know of any writing groups or free workshops? If not, does anyone want to make one? I always found it really motivating and a great way to meet other writers.

Worden we nou overgeslagen?

Vandaag de laatste dag dat de F16 vliegt, dus een ere rondje over Nederland.

Blijkbaar horen wij als Groningers daar niet bij. Jammer.

I'm being charged by Maxx Groningen for viewings and housing emails

Title.

I've been using Maxx for a few months now (I was not aware that they were scammers during this time,), and recently I had a successful viewing for a studio that I had to cancel. After that, Maxx has asked to terminate my search agent which I agreed to (as I felt I was being discriminated against in Maxx anyways), and afterwards, Maxx has sent me an email requesting I pay 50€ per viewing I've attended (15+), and 20€ for all of the emails they have sent me so far (50+). I've been informed that this is nowhere close to being legal, and now I'm here to ask;

Any Advice??

Is this a common occurence, and

What do I do? Do I just ignore them and block them from my email? If not, who can I contact for legal advice for this?

Tickets Polyphonic over

Beste mede-Groningers (en andere lezers),

Wegens omstandigheden gaat het mij helaas niet lukken om a.s. zaterdag bij Polyphonic aanwezig te zijn. Mocht iemand interesse hebben om aanwezig te zijn bij geweldige concert, stuur me dan een persoonlijk berichtje. Ik heb twee tickets die voor een zacht prijsje weg mogen. Winst maken hoef ik uiteraard niet, een beetje verlies lijden vind ik geen probleem, maar ik zou het zonde vinden als ze de prullenbak in moeten. Hit me up!
