  • Ik ben benieuwd of dit ook gevolgen heeft voor Polder-Erdoga... ehm.. Yesilgoz. Als zij wordt weggestuurd, komt er hopelijk een iets minder rechtse houwdegen aan het roer daar.

  • Youtube channels that focus on linux gameplay?

  • Honest queston, not intended as a criticism: what content are you specifically looking for as you specfically mention a Linux gaming channel? Optimization guides or simply reviews / walkthroughs of Linux based games?

  • Vier mei met deze lui erbij, is voor mij betekenisloos.

    Dit! Duizend maal dit!

  • Do you use your blinker in a car?

    Jump

  • I have ridden BMW motorcycles for many years and made a point of using blinkers when needed. Cars have crumple zones; on a motorcycle, you are the crumple zone.

    But yes, BMW cars are often driven by self-centered assholes.

  • We should talk more about air-conditioning

  • We are actually considering replacing our windows entirely with triple layer panes and in-built UV filters. Our current windows are double-layered and ~30 years old.

  • The thing that bothers me most about office AC, is that the air is stale due to poor maintenance. Yes there are regulations against this, but those are not being enforced because that would cost money and hurr-durr stockholders and hurr-durr employers. Home ACs are just wasteful. I live in a neighbourhood that has many many gardens that are fully paved over. In order to counter the heat, each house has several AC units. Dumb fucks.

    I installed solar panels 5 years ago. Back then, a home battery was ~€9000 , so not worth it. Currently, a home battery starts at ~€1500 but with pitifully low capacity. There's currently no real incentive to install these. You may save a bit of money, but at its current rate you would look at a 15 year ROI.

    Switching to an EV would be a nice idea for surplus energy, but our anti-environment government has made it very unattractive to buy one, but now I am going off-topic so I'll save that for another rant.

  • We should talk more about air-conditioning

  • As US-centric as the article is, here's a perspective from the EU.

    I have a strong opinion on air conditioning. I hate it as I have worked in too many poortly ventilated offices with the AC as its only source of slightly less stale air. There should be laws against poorly maintained office ACs. However, I am going to need it at home, even if I do not like it. I live in a temperate climate that is getting hotter in summers. Fast. The house I live in was never intended for extremely hot weather: flat roof, lots of glass, poor insulation. I did upgrade the insulation, but the huge glass facades of my house make it a greenhouse in the summer unless I take some measures like sun blinds and whatnot. Even then, our top floor gets uncomfortably hot.

    I have installed solar panels that allow me to generate more electricity than I need. However, over the years our neoliberal and current far right government has made it very unattarctive to invest in this as they allowed the commercial energy businesses to impose tariffs on the surplus of generated electricity.

    So now I am seriously considering installing AC to use on hot summer days. Not only do I get my house cooler, I also won't be charged for generating too much electricity. What I am not going to do, is keep the AC running all day though.

    Fuck this government and its predecessors.

  • There are brands that sell melatonine that will start working after some time. My son gets a blend of fast and slow release melatonin, as he had the problem you describe: fall asleep somewhat normally and be wide awake in the middle of the night.

  • What is your bath mat situation?

    Jump

  • This is the way. Also: my bathroom floor is heated for that extra bit of comfort in winter.

  • The Volkswagen ID. EVERY1 is an affordable EV for the masses

  • Meh. Retro car design on a modern car is just lazy.

  • Well it was not on my e/OS phone either, so I was a bit smug. My wife's Android phone did have it. Did.

  • Same. I had a classmate who was JW (or rather, his parents were). He was an actual nice kid who was frendly to everybody, had a good sense of humor and was quite smart. One day, he fell in love with a girl outside of his community (i.e. not a JW). He got the choice of either being ostracized or breaking up with her. That's not a choice I'd want to make in my late teens. Last I heard of him is that he made it out.

  • Boom!

  • Why did trump go after the Gulf of Mexico rather than New Mexico?

  • Because the Gulf of Mexico has oil?

    What can I eat for the next 3 weeks?

    Jump

  • Serious answer: when my sister had jaw surgery, the simply threw stuff in the blender. Make pasta sauce, add pasta, throw in blender. You'll feel like an old person for a few weeks, but you'll be fed.

    Even more serious answer: what do your medical peoples say about this?

  • Mercedes-Benz CEO calls for EU emissions fines to be dropped

  • And that, dear kids, is why the European car industry is failing.

  • Quit university and learn a proper job.

    (in the end I did, but it took way too long for me to make that decision)
