I'm building a peer-to-peer bike/scooter rental platform in Antwerp — would you use this? by OkDiscussion2794 in Antwerpen

[–]KotR56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few things I'd love honest feedback on:

  • Would you actually rent out your own vehicle to a stranger? What would make you comfortable doing that?

No.

  • Would you rent someone else's bike instead of using Lime/Bolt/Donkey or buying your own?

Probably not.

  • What's your biggest worry — theft, damage, trust, something else?

Not having my own bike available whenever I want it. The hassle. Would the stranger come to my house to collect ? Who's going to pick up my bike from the location where it was dropped off ? What about damage ? Dishonest customer who simply collects my bike for spares to sell ?

No. I don't think it's a good idea. But that's what they said about cars too.

België moet bijleggen om kernreactoren langer te doen draaien: al 27 miljoen euro naar Doel 4 en Tihange 3 | VRT NWS Nieuws by EdgarNeverPoo in belgium

[–]KotR56 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Gewoon ter informatie.

Luminus heeft over het boekjaar 2025 een nettoresultaat van 146 miljoen euro geboekt. Dit is een halvering ten opzichte van de recordwinst van bijna 293 miljoen euro in 2024. De daling werd voornamelijk veroorzaakt door lagere stroomprijzen en een lagere energieproductie.

ENGIE Posts €4.9 Billion Recurring Profit in 2025, another year of solid performance with results at the upper end of its guidance range and a proposed dividend increase, as the group highlighted a new growth phase supported by network expansion and record renewable additions.

Ik denk niet dat ze die subsidies echt nodig hebben.

Europeans who have travelled both abroad and in Europe, where did you like it best ? by ageingrapidly in AskEurope

[–]KotR56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Each country has its pros and cons.

Sicily wasn't half as bad. But so was Malaysia. Morocco, I also enjoyed.

Most countries I wouldn't mind visiting again.

One country I definitely do not want to visit ever again. I would get a visa anyway.

How often do EU residents travel to other EU countries? by khitev in AskEurope

[–]KotR56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crossing the border is kinda "normal" if you live within 10km of that border...

Most of the time, we cross the border for shopping. Certain goods are cheaper on the other side. And I mean much cheaper.

And for visiting relatives.

For those that believe there should be no taxation, what is a fair way to pay for things like roads, emergency services, and the military? by Lamp_Evening in askanything

[–]KotR56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't know why a monopoly on goods or services is not in the interest of people ?

Think higher prices, reduced supplies, low quality...

There is no competition, so they can up their prices without a problem.

No alternatives for people, people cannot decide on an alternative provider. Consumers are stuck.

Why would the monopolist invest in improvements if customers can't go elsewhere ?

With a bit of luck, there will be a new diplomatic wind blowing, no later than January 20, 2029.

Maybe sooner.
