bstix,

I grew up with km/L.

I don’t mind using whatever scale, but it’s somewhat better for comparing the numbers that cars actually use, because with l/100km every car is five something or six something.

Also the higher numbers are better like everything else on the car comparison cards.

bstix, (edited )

I’ve had Opel, Renault, Peugeot, VW, Skoda, Mazda, Suzuki.

None of them were worse than 7 L/100km. Pretty much all modern cars go at 5 L/100km unless you get something with a larger engine.

Never had a hybrid.

bstix,

It all looked like pills to me until I read the text. Couldn’t even see plates for a while.

Anyway, I noticed that the top right rectangular one doesn’t match the perspective when seen as face down. All the other ones are round, so they don’t insinuate a perspective at all. That’s why that plate is the key.

bstix,

Ok, what OS do I need?

bstix,

They posted the complaint, didn’t they?

bstix,

Found it.

bstix,

I guess there’s a police station in the area, because there’s also an odd sign further up the road stating that police aren’t allowed to park in the residential zones.

bstix,

They don’t stop coming.

Nice list.

Personally I’ll always recommend Swordigo, which is also on the list. It’s old, but not only is it ad-free, free to download on Android, several hours of gameplay, but it’s also one of the best platformer that I have ever tried on any platform. Mainly because it’s perfectly balanced. No need to grind, but still difficult enough for some parts to require a little practice, without ever feeling needlessly difficult. IMO this game is what mobile gaming should have been.

My only complaint is they didn’t make a proper sequel.

bstix,

Historical-acktshually: the guitar is the grandfather of the ukulele.

bstix,

If they already knew the intended results it wouldn’t make sense to do it. Science of this kind is like “here’s something we haven’t tried yet”, which itself is pretty difficult to even come up with.

Also, money spend on something like this doesn’t just disappear. It goes around the suppliers doing it and returns to the state eventually. Of course someone will pocket some money but when talking billions it’s more of an investment in the area than a cost or even an investment in the actual collider. A used collider isn’t worth that amount of money , so where’d it go? It didn’t disappear. Money goes round.

It creates a lot of jobs and when looking at the entire supply chain, it feeds a hell of a lot of people, even if the scientific result is “oh well it didn’t do anything at all.” That way, it might be cheaper than supplying social security/basic income for that amount of people.

At the end of the day, in the grand economic scale, we’re all riding on the shoulders of whoever digs out the the resources from the Earth, so we need to make these kind of very important projects to make it appear as if everyone else is actually producing anything at all. The science is just a nice side effect.

Will this do?

bstix,

Yes that’s also very common, but that’s a little more complicated. It’s only an option for people who have had the same job for more than a year and for those who agree on settling the entire holiday pay in June even if they don’t actually go on holiday then. It varies how people do it.

Unlike Norway, most EU countries tax the holiday on accrual so it’s always without a deduction when paid out regardless of when. Norway taxes it in the payment year though it is spread over the other months.

There are pros and cons to both ways. Personally I think that EU has the better one, not because of the taxation but because it’s not necessary to accrue holiday in advance.

bstix,

Something funny I’ve seen is that in Norway it’s customary to distribute the income tax deduction over 11.5 months instead of 12, so that in November or December people only get deducted half the regular tax on their payslip. This is done to ensure that everyone has money for Christmas. It’s so dumb and beautiful that I can’t help but love the idea.

On the scale of all sticks: 9

On the scale of sticks that are worthy of being picked up: 6

You shouldn’t have pointed it out at all. Now we have to come up with a better punchline.

Like: " Sorry kid, the bank does that"

bstix,

The thing is that the 1 container ship transports a hell of lot more actual cargo from one place to the other than personal cars, which are mostly used for commuting lazy buttchecks back to where they came from in the morning.

bstix,

the people who think EVs are a full solution.

Those people don’t exist. These kinds of arguments are only made to cause disagreement. It’s like car-racism.

bstix,

No, I said it’s LIKE racism, meaning that it has similarities.

Literally NOBODY thinks that EVs are a “full solution” to environmental damage or climate change or whatever the whataboutism is about this week.

It’s only beneficial to put this argument forward for two groups: Car manufacturers and oil producters.

Then why is my neighbour down the street spewing this shit on Facebook daily? He is not a car manufacturer or oil producter.

No, it’s because he has been lead to believe that the smug EV people are going to take his vehicle away. He has bought the lie and now he’s spreading the arguments that will fragment car owners so that nothing will ever change.

The entire purpose is to split car users and preserve the status quo.

This is the fuck cars community. We should hate all cars equally. When I see other posters here repeating the lies from the car and oil industries, I have to point it out.

bstix,

Swinger clubs.

The original mene has got it all wrong. From mere appearance that guy could score higher than both of these, which explains his compulsory action.(At the time… Appearances change and socially acceptable behaviour has changed in the meantime). He’s trying to break out of the chains.

Unless he’s working in some job that isn’t “respectable”. In that case GF is taking advantage of him until she gets bored. I know plenty of these relationships…

Anyway. Everyone looks the same now, so being dumb and pretty isn’t really appealling.

There’s so many layers to this meme. I wonder if historians or algorithms will investigate it in 100 years

bstix,

Only Satan would design a hole that is smaller than the end of a bent paperclip when the entire purpose of the hole is to put something into it.

bstix,

She misses the imaginary root.

bstix,

Reflections work differently for vampires.

bstix,

The renewable energy has some wild fluctuations

This was in Denmark in July

It’s not always this extreme, but there’s usually a few hours every week where the price is negative. I’ve heard that the reason is that the Dutch wind turbines keep running when it’s not profitable, so they crash the prices for everyone. Anyway, timing the car charger makes a lot of sense. I haven’t paid for driving in several months.

bstix,

The pig should shut up. It’s time to wake up the sheep.
