  • I'm happy since years with Renault - first we got a kinda old Megane, that really was awesome and my wife really had her heart in it

    So, when it was time to sell, because repairs would have cost us more than it's value, we were lucky that they brought out a Megane E-Tech (EV) and it just really is great
    It could have some higher charging speeds, but it drives like a dream and the power of the e motor is nothing to compare with (well, besides other EVs)

    It's a rather small car, but it's perfect for the city and we can still fit our snowboard/skis for such trips.
    And shortly after we got it, we were driving on a highway with a 100km/h in a tunnel. Besides us was a tuned up Porsche and naturally we had a little race after the speed limit was lifted.
    The Porsche driver couldn't keep up with the acceleration and you could really see his face getting red and more red, because his expensive tuned Porsche couldn't keep up with our efficient city cruiser

    It's also great to get by cyclist in the city, because you instantly have the torque you need, and don't need to shift back and hope to hit the right spot of the engine.
    There is pretty much no latency and...we just fucking fell in love with it

    It's a really great car and I don't know, why Renaults seem to be not available in the USA

  • Dolphins (and probably also Orcas) even call each other with their different names

  • Working with 6 axis industrial robots with astonishing repeatability precision, this still wouldn't be enough for a 3D printer

    I'm doubting the practical feasibility as well

  • No, absolutely not

    Fuck conservatives and Nazis stealing words from the people respecting individualism

    They already stole 'libertarian' and 'freedom' from us.

    I'll never give them 'Punk'

    Fuck those assholes

  • Checkout how good their fucking reduction to using only cameras, instead of radar or lidar, line everyone else, is working out

    Here is a nice comparison between lidar and Tesla's solution with only using cameras:

    You can clearly see the downsides and why those sensors are just not sufficient in any way for a self driving car

  • Surprisingly, haven't seen that with FreeTube
    But I use my mobile client much more than FreeTube on my PC...

    Hopefully we can still find a way around

    Although, maybe it's time to sever the ties and just move to PeerTube - which would mean, that the will need to also produce some content

  • Since some weeks I'm also getting an error in NewPipe/PipePipe, that my IP is temporarily blocked at YouTube - although I usually can just immediately resume and only get the error in the middle of the video like once or twice

    Anyone else - and especially maybe with a solution?

  • Especially Disney with their past...

  • Nah, keep with the times!
    He isn't not right!

  • I think, don't pouring anything down the patients throat should be pretty much a given, when he hasn't breathing

  • Yeeha, that's fucking awesome! :⁠-⁠D

    The Core Time 2 looks really nice
    Although I'm wondering, why only the cheaper one has a Barometer.
    That's something I'd actually like to have - as well :⁠-⁠\

  • Also fighting for survival with multiple jobs pretty much kills the inventive for anything social on your rare free time

  • Never thought about it, but how does LinkedIn finance its service?

    Edit: looked it up
    Membership fees, marketing services and recruiting solutions

    Now that I think about it, there are some premium account things you can pay for
    As I don't use it much, I've never really looked into it

  • To be fair, in such child songs there are often words used, that aren't really common in daily live - besides sometimes when talking with children, but mostly they are there for the rhyme

    'Mampfer' is just roughly translated as Eater, which would be more 'Esser'
    'mampfen' is better translated as munch(-ing)
    So, Trashmuncher probably should have been the better translation

    Also the rhyme with 'zu Hauf' comes from 'Haufen', which is a pile

  • There was a story from the child book author Thomas Brezina (Austrian), who wrote the series "Knickerbocker Bande", which is about 4 childs/teens, who do some detective work and solve stuff.
    I absolutely loved that series as a child and I've read like...I don't know dozens of them
    (After that he created 'Tom Turbo' which was more meant for a younger audience)

    Anyway, I had a audiobook cassette, which was about a killed scientist, that created "Müllmampfer" (stuff the eats trash) and it would just eat it and it's gone with that

    I'm still having that song in my ear after more than 30 years
    "Müllmampfer, Müllmampfer,
    die Welt, die braucht Müllmampfer.
    Sie fressen jeden Abfall auf und Abfall gibt es hier zu Hauf!"

    Roughly translated: "Trash-Eater, Trash-Eater,
    The world, it needs Trash-Eaters.
    They eat all the trash and there is a abundance of trash'

    So, even 30 years ago, we all were aware of this problem
    But as always, capitalism wins, because we need to create new stuff, else the economy can't grow - and as we all know, infinite growth in a finite system isn't possible

    I'm also remembering stories from my school time (in a technical high school), where they told us, that Phillips just trashed completely newly produced DVD players, because selling them at lower prices, would have crashed the market and would have brought in a net negative for their future products.

    Long story, short:
    This system is just not sustainable in any way...

  • I have no clue here, so can you clarify your last sentence?

    Where is the quality better? Europe or USA?

  • I made a kind of T-Fighter setup
    In the middle a high and wide horizontal screen and on each side a virtual screen for logs or header files

    Imho that's just perfect

  • Ah, comprehensive insurance!
    Ok, thanks!
