Hello le Fediverse,
Vu que nous avons déménagé récemment, on a plein de caisses à donner (une dizaine), dont des caisses à banane. Une pièce quasiment remplie.
Est-ce que quelqu’un les voudrait ? Si oui, hésitez pas à me faire signe, ce serait à venir chercher au nord d’Anderlecht, facilement accessible depuis le R0 si vous avez besoin d’une voiture, arrêt de la STIB et De Lijn à 100m de la maison. Dans quelques jours je mettrai une annonce sur 2ememain.be, mais priorité à vous. ☺️

Side view of a twin-propellor engined airliner parked facing to the left.
The plane is mostly white, with a 2 tone blue stripe running along the body and sweeping up in to the tail.
This stripe has blue "ROA" titles overlaid on both the front and rear fuselage, and red "OLT" titles arranged vertically on the tail.
The registration "D-ICRL" is on the upper rear fuselage in black.
There is a passenger door open in the forward fuselage, hinged downwards to form integral airstairs, as well as a much larger cargo door hinged upwards in the rear.
There is a white van with "Belgavia" titles on the rear door parked to the rear of the planes left wing.
In the background, grass leads off into the distance, where trees vanish into haze, under a grey sky.

In #Brussels, history and innovation meet at the Bourse!

A symbol of the 19th century, the former stock exchange was carefully restored with €18 million of EU funding to become a lively public space.

The main hall is now an important link in the city centre.

It offers spaces for exhibitions and attractions such as Belgian Beer World and the Bruxella 1238 archaeological site.

As per our #EU sustainability targets, its restoration achieved a remarkable 30% cut in energy consumption.

Side view of a high-winged, twin propellor engined airliner parked facing to the right. The plane is mostly white, with a yellow, red, and black stripe running diagonally across the rear fuselage, and a similar inverted stripe running across the top of the tail and engine pods. There are blue "SABENA" titles on the upper forward fuselage. In the foreground, a bright orange car with an orange beacon light is parked in the bottom left corner of the frame. In the background, a similar sized white plane with a yellow body stripe and black lion rampant on the tail is trying to hide behind this plane on the right of the frame. Above, the sky is a very pale blue with streaks of white cloud.
Side view of a three engined jet airliner with the engines mounted on the rear fuselage taxiing from left to right. The plane is mostly white, with red "TAROM" titles on the lower forward fuselage. The tail has the outline of a red circle, containing the stylised image of a red flying bird. In the background, a low black hangar with blue support beams and a grey roof fills most of the width the frame from the right, with the side of a similar hangar just coming in to view on the left. Trees mark the skyline behind these hangars, the sky itself having more than a hint of orange.

The rear fuselage and tail are a darker blue, with a stylised image of a red flower, outlined in white, on the tail. There are pale blue "Dream)Liner" titles on the lower rear fuselage. The wings can be seen visibly flexing, the tips being much higher than the root, where they are attached to the body. Pale grey sky fills the rest of the frame.

The makeover of all this intensely used public space is paired with a new mobility plan, with several new one way streets to limit through traffic. Plans are not perfect, but will be a major step forward for this part of #Brussels ... #waitandsee if the local dinosaurs will allow it to happen #welovegoodmove

The bulk waste collection is going on in #Brussels. So I started rummaging through the container & the worker says “can I help you?”

It’s obvious in this situation they really don’t want to help. They’re looking to bounce me. I said “no, just looking for a printer”. They said: it’s all kaput & kinda waived to move me along. I probably should have stood my ground but I think dumpster diving is forbidden. They were actually being polite.

It’s a lousy system. Dumpster diving should be encouraged.

@simon_brooke I agree. Providing bike lanes in cities is still highly effective and a good way to have people abandon cars without pressuring public transportation too much. Here in Belgium, we see this rapid change in cities like #Brussels or #Namur, that missed the infrastructure boost towards bikes of the 70’s that the mostly flat Netherlands and Flanders set up. E-bikes make every road flat and that’s, to me, the biggest game changer.

The #coop which owns the #EuropeanSleeper company is raising 3 M€ in capital to fund the #NightTrain service from #Brussels to #Barcelona and #Prague.

I bought a few shares because their success would help me #StayGrounded. (Also, how cool is it to own a #train [lease, fraction of]?)

It's a high risk investment. No profits expected for years with favourable track prices. No membership/voting rights under 26 k€ invested. Check bylaws etc. in "legal" and "community" tabs.
