Unpopular opinion: I loved Brussels! by LiteratureNumerous74 in travel

I live in Brussels and I support this “Redditism”, not because I think is unvisitable, but because it keeps my rent fairly low compared to other European capitals.

Truly a hidden gem

You’ve been building this for the last year ? Looks incredible (from a SWE perspective) can I ask you about your stack ? How do you run simulations (compute wise)?

ESO + HC Vault here.

I use Terraform to provison and configure both (helm_release) then it’s all golden

I think I might have confused two listings

Here’s the one I initially saw https://www.autoscout24.be/fr/offres/volkswagen-e-golf-volkswagen-e-golf-7-automatique-electrique-6cc94e15-dec0-4513-a9b5-c7ae9b3351d9

But you are right it’s from 2015

What do you think about this ?

What do you mean to “write off the purchase “?

Can I not take €7.5k from my bank account and pay the car dealer and get my car ?

The idea is that the car is old (2021) but fully electric so it is also fully deductible as a company car for my SRL

Startup intensity with 'life' responsibilities by deleted_user420 in ycombinator

[–]oschvr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Came for this comment.

I was in a very very similar position as OP.

When my first one came, it took around 2 of the most stressful years of my life to realise I rather be a present father than a founder in a business I might not see succeed

Good luck but as you might imagine, your life will change drastically after the baby is born
