@GideonGoudsmit @AlexPolfliet Heb je ook een idee welk financieel rendement ik als particulier in Vlaanderen zou kunnen halen als ik 100m2 op het Westen en 50m2 op het Oosten gerichte dakdelen (beide helling 45°) zou vol leggen met PV panelen? Verbruik netto 0,5 MWh per jaar en heb al PV productie 4,25 MWh/j.

@argosaki @7genblogger @nerdlandbe I could not forward you this via DM, so that’s why I do it this way. Interesting science for a new monthly overview, no? Keep up the good work 👊🏻

BREASTMILK She thought she was studying milk. What she uncovered was a conversation. In 2008, evolutionary anthropologist Katie Hinde was working in a primate research lab in California, analyzing breast milk from rhesus macaque mothers. She had hundreds of samples and thousands of data points. Everything looked ordinary—until one pattern refused to go away. Mothers raising sons produced milk richer in fat and protein. Mothers raising daughters produced a larger volume with different nutrient balances. It was consistent. Repeatable. And deeply uncomfortable for the scientific consensus. Colleagues suggested error. Noise. Statistical coincidence. But Katie trusted the data. And the data pointed to a radical idea. Milk is not just nutrition. It is information. For decades, biology treated breast milk as simple fuel. Calories in. Growth out. But if milk were only calories, why would it change depending on the sex of the baby? Katie kept digging. Across more than 250 mothers and over 700 sampling events, the story grew more complex. Younger, first-time mothers produced milk with fewer calories but significantly higher levels of cortisol—the stress hormone. The babies who drank it grew faster. They were also more alert, more cautious, more anxious. Milk wasn’t just building bodies. It was shaping behavior. Then came the discovery that changed everything. When a baby nurses, microscopic amounts of saliva flow back into the breast. That saliva carries biological signals about the infant’s immune system. If the baby is getting sick, the mother’s body detects it. Within hours, the milk changes. White blood cells surge. Macrophages multiply. Targeted antibodies appear. When the baby recovers, the milk returns to baseline. This was not coincidence. It was call and response. A biological dialogue refined over millions of years. Invisible—until someone thought to listen. As Katie reviewed existing research, she noticed something unsettling. There were twice as many scientific studies on erectile dysfunction as on breast milk composition. The first food every human consumes. The substance that shaped our species. Largely ignored. So she did something bold. She launched a blog with a deliberately provocative name: Mammals Suck Milk. It exploded. Over a million readers in its first year. Parents. Doctors. Scientists. People asking questions research had skipped. The discoveries kept coming. Milk changes by time of day. Foremilk differs from hindmilk. Human milk contains over 200 oligosaccharides babies can’t digest—because they exist to feed beneficial gut bacteria. Every mother’s milk is biologically unique. In 2017, Katie brought this work to a TED stage. In 2020, it reached a global audience through Netflix’s Babies. Today, at Arizona State University’s Comparative Lactation Lab, she continues reshaping how medicine understands infant development, neonatal care, formula design, and public health. The implications are staggering. Milk has been evolving for more than 200 million years—longer than dinosaurs walked the Earth. What we once dismissed as simple nourishment is one of the most sophisticated communication systems biology has ever produced. Katie Hinde didn’t just study milk. She revealed that nourishment is intelligence. A living, responsive system shaping who we become before we ever speak. All because one scientist refused to accept that half the story was “measurement error.” Sometimes the biggest revolutions begin by listening to what everyone else ignores.

@elonmusk @wef

Speaking @wef in 20 mins. What should I say? 🤭

@grok @apvermeulen @deSunShineBand @CampinaEnergie 👍🏻🌬️⚡️ Lezen jullie hierboven ook 1 minuutje mee? 😉

@apvermeulen @deSunShineBand Ja, de data bevestigen dat China veruit de grootste windenergiecapaciteit heeft (ruim 600 GW medio 2025, volgens WWEA). Dit contrasteert met Trumps opmerking over het ontbreken van windparken daar. Feiten checken blijft waardevol.

🚨 BREAKING: President Trump haalt in Davos uit naar de "domme mensen" die windenergie steunen. "China is slim. Ze maken windmolens, verkopen ze voor een fortuin en verkopen ze vervolgens aan de DOMME MENSEN die ze kopen!" 🤣 "Windmolens overal in Europa, echt overal, en ze zijn VERLIEZERS. Eén ding heb ik geleerd: hoe meer windmolens een land heeft, hoe meer geld dat land VERLIEST. CHINA maakt bijna alle windmolens, en toch heb ik nog geen windmolenparken in China kunnen vinden!"

@teslashepherd @jcchristopher @grok Is this real?

@jcchristopher Try standard And today with 2025.26.7 was the best ever........just keeps getting better!!

Uber thinks Tesla FSD is really good! Honestly, the phone handling score doesn't surprise me, but the speed score does, I am on Hurry mode quite a lot while getting to customers 😝😂

@HarrySpoelstra @marchionatus @BenDreesen @SammyMahdi @cdenv Ik wist dat ik nog al eens iets in die aard ergens had gezien: hln.be/consument/afsc…

@HarrySpoelstra @marchionatus @BenDreesen @SammyMahdi @cdenv Ja, maar /sarcastisch: ze zorgen toch maar mooi voor duizenden jobs.

De Christelijke Mutualiteit telt 5.000 medewerkers voor 4,5 miljoen leden. Het bezit zelfs een reisbureau — Intersoc — met een omzet van 33 miljoen euro. Is het normaal dat wij sociale bijdragen betalen voor de vakanties van CM’ers @SammyMahdi @cdenv?

@jasondebolt Feel free to follow. Tesla enthousiast since 2014. Shareholder since 2017.

If you are verified and are following me but I’m not already following you, please reply so I can follow you. I also follow people with anything Tesla related in their profile.

@mboudry @ArcelorMittalBE Of course "only" 4GW out of 1.3 nuclear power plants needed still is a HUGE amount of power. Interesting thread and an eye opener for me as to the amount of power needed by a steel producing factory. 👊

Allow me, but the largest nuclear reactors Doel 3 & 4 & Tihange 3 all - individually - have a thermal power capacity of about 3GW. So the ArcelorMittal factory would only need about 1.3 large nuclear power plants in the near neighbourhood so immediately when the heat could be used immediately, instead of converting it into electricity first with a loss of about 2/3 of the base energy. Isn't that about right @Gingerneer2 ?

That moment when a "ladle" of molten pig iron (still full of fossil carbon atoms from the coal) is poured into the converter to be mixed with scrap iron, ready to be converted into liquid steel. 🔥😍 At @ArcelorMittalBe yesterday. It was a blast!

@JDSchoolmeester @mboudry @MathiasDeClercq @filipwatteeuw @anneleen_vb Couldn't it be easier to construct a new steel factory in Doel, near the existing nuclear power plants? Instead of constructing a new nuclear reactor near the existing steel factory? 😁 #DareToAsk

As @mboudry points out, nuclear power and the steel industry could be allies, as ArcelorMittal Ghent needs tremendous amounts of energy. When will North Sea Port Ghent build its own nuclear power plant?😉 @MathiasDeClercq @filipwatteeuw @anneleen_vb /END x.com/mboudry/status…

I was also part of the fun yesterday, it was awesome! 🙌 Thanks @WePlanetBE and @ArcelorMittal for organizing this company visit. A little thread on some valuable insights about making steel more sustainable resulting from our discussions. /1

@CuriousPejjy @Teslaconomics

@CuriousPejjy @Teslaconomics Design looks like Amber One design from 2016 businessinsider.nl/amber-one-elec…

In the book (Elon Musk by Walter Isaacson), there was a sketch of how $TSLA's Robotaxi vehicle will look like (image on the left). The image on the right (AI generated) is how I believe it will look like the closest. Shout out to: @Teslaconomics

Vooraleer daar overtuigd voor te zullen gaan kiezen zou ik een gedetailleerd inzicht willen in mijn elektriciteitsdata, zowel van verbruik als productie (van onze zonnestroom) Deze zou ik op allerlei manieren willen analyseren en me laten adviseren wanneer ik bijvoorbeeld mijn toekomstige EVs het gunstigst laad. Maar hè, heb al die data niet (makkelijk en bruikbaar) voor handen, heb geen weet van een (online) platform dat al mijn data-analyse wensen mogelijk zou maken en als klap op de vuurpijl heb ik zelfs nog steeds geen digitale meter. Ik leef nog met het idee dat een terugdraaiende teller voor ons nog steeds het voordeligst uitkomt… 🤷🏼‍♂️

In Nederland zijn dynamische contracten een succes. Helaas bij ons nog niet.

Over publieke WiFi netwerken. Dit zou iedereen minstens toch al ruim een decennia moeten weten.

@OutOfCycling Emirates: no

Colnago: Tadej, how much pink do you want to wear? Pogacar: Yes

@elonmusk @Tesla 7 seater model Y for @teslaeurope ? Anytime soon?

The standard Tesla Model Y now has a 320 mile range! Although it is rear-wheel-drive, the precision of Tesla’s electric motors means it still has great traction on snow & ice with all-season tires. #overview" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">tesla.com/modely/design#…

@KVoorspools @WoVanaken En wat zijn de redenen waarom @vreg_be hiervoor (voorlopig) de boot afhoudt? Mag dat geweten zijn? Wordt er vanuit bepaalde hoek misschien gelobbyd om die boot zo lang mogelijk af te houden?

@WoVanaken Netkosten heb ik sowieso, of ik nu om 12u laad of om 19u. Daar kan ik niet op sturen, alleen op stroomcomponent zelf. Later misschien wel als er time of use in net tarieven wordt doorgevoerd. Fluvius is daar klaar voor, maar VREG houdt voorlopig de boot af.

En ja... Auto zit op 42% en ik ga hem straks volpompen tussen 11u en 17u. En ik krijg daar geld voor. Again...

@TesCalendar1 I think we definitely would want it here in Europe. afaik it's still not available anywhere here (Europe).

What do you guys think about the 3rd row of the Model Y? Would you pay extra for it?
