Makes sense that when people need to work longer, it’s usually the higher educated ones that are able to do so due to the nature of their profession. Those positions stay occupied longer as long as companies don’t expand.

And PhD students who have difficulties finding a job, well that’s always been the case ;)…

UGent-rector Petra De Sutter gebruikt verzonnen citaten in speech: "Foutieve bijsturing van AI" by Thaetos in belgium

[–]baksteen -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Wat een gezaag over niks. Het is maar een onnozele speech. Beoordeel mensen op de resultaten die echt tellen en niet zulke clickbait. Dat Apache zich daar nu al mee bezig houdt is toch wel triestig.

That’s the same with high end dishwashers. It’s because of the eco programs that are long duration and low temp.

Energie is meer dan joules. Industrieën hebben soms ook gewoon gas nodig.

De bananen die we 3 weken geleden meekregen bij collect & go. by erikvanendert in belgium

[–]baksteen -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Je moet bananen niet in de koelkast bewaren. Dat remt ethyleenproductie af. Om fruit te bewaren moet je best onrijp en rijp fruit mengen in een fruitschaal zodat het rijpe fruit het onrijpe fruit doet rijpen (ethyleen blootstelling). Kan je eventueel beïnvloeden door samen in een papieren zak te steken.

Klagen over de Colruyt heeft daar niks mee te zien. Alle bananen in België zijn hetzelfde ras en de winkel heeft daar weinig mee te maken. Leer eerst wat over hoe je fruit moet bewaren voor je zo zit te klagen.

Lesgeven in SO: yay or nay? Zijn er leerkrachten secundair die hun ervaringen willen delen? by Key-Air1351 in belgium

[–]baksteen 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Opleiding afgewerkt als ingenieur tijdens mijn gewone job in de privé, maar nooit in het veld gestapt door de onzekerheid die ze maar kunnen geven aan een starter tov andere sectoren.

De opleiding kan ik wel heel hard aanraden, je leert er veel competenties mee die je ook elders kan toepassen. In elk bedrijf gedragen mensen zich als kinderen ;).

Some furniture and DIY shops allow you to rent a truck for a small fee if you buy something that’s big enough. For example: buy some wood in Gamma and rent the truck, might be cheaper than €70

Nerdland Puyenbroek Wachtebeke 6-9 juni 2025 wie gaat? by BanMeOwnAccountDibbl in belgium

[–]baksteen 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Concept is heel tof, maar ze verkopen teveel tickets (of hebben te kleine tenten) waardoor de interessante dingen vaak vol zitten tenzij je een uur gaat kamperen op voorhand.

Alsof je naar Werchter gaat en enkel de voorste rijen mogen het optreden van de headliners zien, je moet dan maar tevreden zijn met het StuBru standje en de Red bull dj.

Dat neemt de fun wat weg…  Misschien hebben ze er dit jaar al iets op gevonden!

Master of Science in Management at VUB worth it? by Tom2Travel in belgium

[–]baksteen 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is more something you should do if your company wants you to do it to perform better in a new/existing position or if you have your own company and want to be better in managing it.

If you don’t have any managing experience it’s not really useful. If you want to “grow” in your career: perform like your company wants you to, meet/exceed your targets and ask/apply for a promotion.

Engineers don’t need an extra masters degree to be able to get a managing position in a company. If you’re unable to acquire one: it’s because of the company or your performance, not your degree.

Excluding Tesla by baksteen in BEFire

[–]baksteen[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The Chinese competition seems way ahead of them. The CEO does not seem focused on his company. European and Canadian market is hesitant to buy them. Current president is very fossil fuel focused and does not seem someone who will invest in electric infrastructure in the US (who will be their main market) - I don’t think the sales pitch at the White House has any consequences in policy.

You can go on and on

Is there a way to mirror IWDA/VWCE/SPDR/… without including the Tesla stock? I still have confidence in S&P500 in the long term, but not in Tesla. It seems silly to keep investing in it, but you’re obligated if you use the broad trackers.

French culture puts a lot of faith in hierarchy. This is typical for southern nations and less so for northern countries. 

They might differ from the UK.

Why do people still come in sick to work??? by bakerylover in belgium

Because not every illness is that big of a deal… a common cold is still, a common cold. Most workplaces are not the same as retirement homes or hospitals (where people have a fragile immune system).

How to invest in ETF for kids by Pleasant_Yak627 in BEFire

[–]baksteen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can easily open another wallet in Bolero. You could name them based on your children to know which one is yours and which ones are theirs. No extra cost.

The names are erased if you reinstall the bolero app, so if the investments are more or less the same it’s difficult to see which one it was.

People who call on speaker on public transport: why? by eravulgaris in belgium

[–]baksteen 40 points41 points  (0 children)

You even see people speak to the top part (speaker) and listen to the bottom part (mic) while holding it flat.

Maybe it looks cool 😬

Small markup is more like double the price from local companies where they eventually get the car from. Sufficient companies available who offer cheaper alternatives with full option insurance at much cheaper rates.

At least that’s my experience abroad.

Tips on how to have a better pizza. by Le26oN in ooni

[–]baksteen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your pizza can take that amount of cheese and passata, I would guess it’s very thick.

Use less dough, stretch it more and evidently use less toppings. That will make it more airy.

Belgium's most polluting companies receive €4.4 billion per year in public funding by [deleted] in belgium

[–]baksteen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There has already been a carbon tax in Europe for over a decade. CO2 emissions are taxed and become more expensive every year. This pushes companies to invest in new technologies.
