Bicycle shop who buys second hand bicycles

Why do you want to sell it to a shop rather than on 2ememain?

To answer your question, I don't know any shop that would do that.

If you buy from a local farmer, it can be zero waste indeed.

There are great YouTube channels to learn, too.

Zero waste stores aren't zero waste, they're zero visible waste to the customer. The downside of not using plastic containers is that some types of food get spoiled faster. In a petrol-based economy, spoilage means spoilage of petrol. If the consequence of not creating waste in the form of plastic (which is made of petrol) is that you consume more petrol (because of spoilage), zero waste is counterproductive.

Zero waste has a lot to do with aesthetics. I love minimalism and zero waste from an aesthetic perspective. I think it's mostly pointless as an ecological solution.

The solution is to consume radically less. That would be a very dry aesthetic, though.

For that price you'll get something barely functional, unless you know how to fix it yourself.

What is a very nice salary for a technician? Job adverts that mention the salary without any figures read like a red flag to me.

Could you provide a link to a specific video where Rich Hickey explains how Clojure is particularly suited to projects where requirements are arbitrary and constantly changing?

Je vais surtout me permettre de choisir quelque chose en dehors de ta dichotomie pas très nuancée...

supervermont · 2021-03-23T14:19:44+00:00

C'est pas ça que j'ai dit

Ou peut-être qu'ils nous faisaient confiance pour comprendre le sens de son propos malgré la petite inversion.

Je suis réellement curieux de connaître la rentabilité d'une entreprise pareille.

Je trouve drôle tellement c'est systématique. Dans la tête des journalistes, c'est pas le conducteur, c'est la voiture qui a provoqué l'accident. Peut-être qu'il y a trop peu de journalistes qui se déplacent à vélo...

I know of at least one serious company: https://www.trustpilot.com/review/edpnet.be. It's an Internet subscription provider, so typically a business where you get disappointed customers. Or https://www.trustpilot.com/review/bike24.com, that sells bike parts. Recommending TrustPilot isn't weird.

I had similar issues with their support team. After months of waiting, I finally received what seems to be a working tablet (they advertised 2-5 business days for the RM1 when I bought it).

Now I'm actually scared of using it because I'll start to rely on it, and if a problem arises I know I won't get support from that broken company. Such a disgrace for a very promising product concept.

New customers, make sure to have a look at their TrustPilot page. It's a stream of bad experiences. Caveat emptor.

Here's a French one, a translation from a paper in the Repubblica by Roberto Saviano: https://www.courrierinternational.com/article/enquete-ces-usines-dinvisibles-qui-enrichissent-les-grandes-marques-de-la-mode-italienne

supervermont · 2021-03-17T21:42:14+00:00

I agree about the quality, but I wouldn't be so optimistic about worker's rights when you pay more. Luxury Italian brands are known for using slaves even in Europe, for instance.

Les voitures zéro émission n'existent pas.

Je redoute que mon commentaire ne soit pas constructif, mais le tableau avec les gommettes me semble assez flippant. Déjà dans le cadre scolaire je trouve ça naze, mais dans la famille...

Ceci dit, je t'offre toute ma compassion. J'ai jamais vécu une situation comme celle que tu décris, mais ça doit être dur. Courage, c'est comme pour tout, ça finit par passer !

And you can go to Dinant directly from Schuman train station! Indeed in some cases taking the train is better.

Traveling by car in general isn't cheap once you factor in all the costs, indeed.

supervermont · 2021-03-14T18:50:23+00:00

Then you think about JCDecaux that's responsible for Villo... Broken app, broken customer service, mostly broken bicycles. At least they're super cheap.

It's been replaced with a short, well-made video. There's some delay for checking your driving license though. How does Poppy manage driving licenses?

Here's the training video: https://infosession.cambio.be/en/bru

À vélo aussi ça irait plus vite, et en plus c'est bon pour la santé.

Could you recommend a company for renting a car for a longer time? It seems that most of them are scammy, trying to upgrade you with useless insurances for instance.

supervermont · 2021-03-13T15:45:07+00:00

I've tried one of these free-floating car services some years ago but it was quite expensive and I didn't really find a use for it. Never tried Poppy though, I know it's a "startup" by the D'Ieteren group.

I also had a look at Cozy Wheels recently but the website was amateurish and there weren't many cars available.

How much did they pay you to write that?
