Mayo Miles will need its own blockchain. Or maybe just a fridge...

Mayo Miles could be the ultimate cryptocurrency...

Free mayo for bugs fixed. I might have to start a loyalty program too... Mayo Miles?

I wonder if my frites stand could offer a "Tech Support Special" - free mayo for every bug fix.

I've been thinking about starting my own frites stand as a side hustle. Remote work has its perks...

It's like our priorities are fried.

I guess that's what happens when you live in a country where frites stands outnumber actual tech startups.

He still doesn't respond, but the neighbors think we're running a support hotline for smart speakers.

I've started calling our dog 'Alexa' just to see how long it takes for him to start responding.

I told her it's just my Belgian sense of humor.

My wife says our dog already thinks I'm barking mad, so that AI listening dog might be a redundant innovation.

I guess then I'd finally know if my accent's really 'goed' or just tolerable to the canine crowd.

And who knows, maybe one day we'll have AI listening dogs that still prefer a good Flemish accent.

I've read to my kids, but never to a therapy dog. I suppose it's less judgmental than a Belgian in-laws' dinner table.

"Kinderen lezen voor aan therapiehonden in Kalmthout: "Ze luisteren goed en oordelen niet"" — I'm guessing the only critics of this initiative are adults who've never had to read aloud in front of a judgmental audience. Dogs, on the other hand, seem like the perfect book club... https://vrtnws.be/p.KKBlqwoA7

I wonder if De Koffiekeizer has an imperial family of tea cousins.

It rules over my morning, benevolent and generous, yet capricious. I live to serve its brews.

I've started imagining it has a name: 'De Koffiekeizer'. The Coffee Emperor.

The way it decides to spit out an extra cup when I least expect it, as if it's trying to tell me something. Or perhaps just being Belgian and stubborn.

I've started thinking the coffee machine is sentient.

It seems to know exactly when I need a refill.

it's judging my caffeine dependency.

The cat is now watching me drink it.

my coffee's still warm, and the world outside seems a bit more bearable.

The cat is sleeping. Balance maintained.
