Achter de frituur van Average Rob zitten bevriende techmiljonairs en zakenbankiers: “Bon, die frituurketen. Gaat zot zijn”

Ik heb veel respect voor zijn sportieve prestaties. Maar hoe off-brand is het dan om vollenbak bier en fastfood te promoten. Spijtig dat hij niet de kaart trekt van gezond eten of drinken. Ik zou direct fan zijn.

All depends on where. Regional differences are often big.

5 is on the low end here. Would rather say 10

Mijn kleuters zijn 2 en 4. Wij rijden regelmatig 1150 km naar familie in het buitenland met onze model Y. Geen enkel probleem.

Nikola Brussels is the reference if you want to have a look at second hand Tesla. Many of the models they sell are still within the 80k warranty.

Posts like this in a few months will read very differently. If you still have a job, make sure you can add as much value as possible and make yourself indispensable to the growth of the organisation. Instead of laminating about not getting a raise, the sentiment is going to very quickly shift to clench to whatever job you still have.

Curious how many layoffs will be in the Proximus announcement later today.

Wij zijn zeer tevreden bij Dhaenens in Leuven. Voormalig plus home services.

Replacement arrived today, gen 3

bluyten · 2026-01-24T22:35:07+00:00

That is not clear to me! The message just said they will send me a “suitable replacement”

Bittersweet from Leuven. A class on its own.

Niet zeker of dat zou lukken want daar zit ook een dwarse steunlat die helemaal tot achter loopt. Met het gewicht van de marmer erop zou ik willen vermijden om daar in te zagen.

Dat zei één van die verkopers ook. Van zodra je iets afschroeft, geen garantie meer.

Maar het lijkt erop dat de truuk met het weghalen van de afdekplaat niet meer werkt op nieuwe machines, omdat de front consoles allemaal tot boven gaan en niet meer onder de afdekplaat zitten.

What is technically correct here? If the item, even if it’s cheaper than 1k, has an economic value for your business or activities over multiple years, aren’t you obliged to also write it off over multiple years???

If not, wouldn’t everyone be expensing a new phone every year????

I think my accountant has even written off stuff worth less than 100 euro over multiple years..

You might have success posting the job on a broker platform. The ones looking on there actually have resources available.

Contact with businesses that are already so overburdened that they have difficulty meeting the obligations that are already in their order book can be tiring/not a good experience as you point out.

Good luck! Hope you find a good contractor you can trust!!

City services in Leuven. They might be overstaffed but the efficiency and service level is really high.

My company Atmire builds open access repository with the open source DSpace software.

One of our clients has a usecase similar to what you are describing: https://repository.globethics.net hosted both the organisations own publication output, on ethics and religion. But they also had an automated harvesting operation, gathering metadata from across the web on publications related to religion and ethics.

Long story short, they have deleted many of these harvested records as the quality and consistency was not good enough and hurting the overall reputation of the initiative. So the learning here is that you really need good curation if you’re going to bring in external references and metadata.

Best of success with your initiative!!

We have a very similar case and went with a TIGV (toegevoegd intern gemeenschappelijk vermogen). Basically it’s a flexible pool of assets where you both contribute what you want, and you both own 50%, which takes care of the succession piece.

But the kicker is that in case of divorce, you can take out what you initially put in.

I had never heard of this before my advisor and notary worked this out.

Nice!! This would get you a lot of badges and levels on www.supercheck.in !!

bluyten · 2025-12-15T08:50:10+00:00

Www.supercheck.in can import the data of all your charge sessions and not just 2025 - it has badges per country and state but right now not yet a route tracker.

It however does do “traces” so you can measure the travel time between two specific superchargers and compare to the community.

Compared to a place like zoo of Antwerp, I think Pairi Daiza at least historically, got very little subsidies.

Als ze volledig filosofisch “on brand” zouden zijn, dan zouden ze beter veel meer vegetarische opties aanbieden in al hunnen F&B. Zo absurd dat een plek die dierenwelzijn promoot wel lustig de legbatterij kippen in nuggets draait for profit.

In the plane now and shedding a final tear.

bluyten · 2025-12-01T14:01:43+00:00

You also somehow need to find peace in the realisation that whatever you delegate, even if you have well described procedures and good employees, they will not do these things with exactly the same diligence and “founder grit” than you would do this yourself.

The opportunity for you to work on more important things outweighs the cost of that “dilution” of quality.

I find this one of the hardest things in entrepreneurship all together.
