People of Sweden, why do you build miniature urinals into your rain drainpipes?
Not at all. I mostly cycle on city roads, asphalt. And the wheels have these thingies around the wheels, no idea what they're called in English.
I have that too, it's awesome. Incredible how few people I see with those! Super convenient.
Pi also wins in size, if space really is limited. But yes you're right, in many use cases an old normal computer makes more sense. Bit fewer e-trash also...
The TV and Samsung are showing here what cyber abuse is
Because it's still really gross if a 50yo man is dating a 18yo girl. 18yo are really quite childish still, behaviour, decision making. 18 just happens to be the legal threshold in most places, but imo it only gets not weird at 25 or older dating whatever old age, than it's really just two adults
This is the "light" version. The worst are when they don't even have street facing windows, only concrete and garage doors facing the street and all around the house nothing but concrete/tiles, no greenery. These houses make me so sad while walking around a neighboorhood :(
Services are only exposed on local WiFi and behind Tailscale, updated all as soon as possible: still quite safe right?
A bicycle is a vehicle. They are vehicle lanes so no change required...
EU has since long introduced for example the emissions rights: CO2 emissions have a price. EU has steered towards electrification of cars, buses and trucks. EU has implemented policies to decrease trash production etc etc
Keeping Fossil fuel very cheap with subsidies is exactly what will cause economic crisis and suffering. Steering away from fossils does the opposite.
I am well aware EU (and mainly many memberstates) also support fossil fuels in various ways, but it is in no way as black and white as you paint the picture.
No, it's not the goal of the EU-policy towards Russian fossils to make fossils more expensive, just a side effect, but it's not a bad one. And I don't think it's "the capitalists" deciding those policies, they'd probably rather have just continued the trade from before 2022. The fossils lobby is powerful but there are more players and influences at play. Things are very very rarely as simple and black/white as some people try to tell you. The harsh truth is that no one is truly in control, there are many things that happen and not everything happens for a reason or because someone powerful decided it. The world is organised chaos.
Which isn't a bad thing imo in the long-term. Fossil fuel should be expensive. It helps people make better decisions, maybe they'll get an e-bike or e-car, install the balcony solar panels after all, insulate their house a bit better instead of traveling 4x per year etc etc
It's kind of the goal in this case. Balancing between making gas exports for Russia harder and less rewarding, while maintaining some import to EU somehow so EU citizens don't freeze and economy keeps producing. It's more a political geopolitical game than a capitalist one in this case.
This map is wrong. There is no way you can claim Russia isn't executing citizens...
2€ local charity shop.
Someone's grandparent died I suppose, and they didn't share their love for music. Luckily they brought it to a charity and didn't dump it in the trash.
There was a collection of about 40 7" 45rpm jazz-singles from second half of the 1950s - first half of the 1960s, at 1 € a piece a lot of them well more than worth it! I bought almost all of them.
And also a 10" folder with 14 LP records in it. Among which, this is my very favorite: Saxes In Jazz. (short) LP with very chill jazz, almost entirely instrumental. The title is a bit misleading, because the best part about is the excellent Bass solo by Al Hall! Overall not very sax heavy actually, but very well balanced instrumentation. An excellent record to have a cake and a coffee with company over. Record condition somewhere between VG+ and NM, just like all the singles, plays perfectly no clics no nothing only very superficial hairlines visible with good light. Incredible haul!
Really, gems are often still out there for grabs at bargain prices! Keep checking local thrift stores and flea markets regurarly, before someone decides to clear a shelf of beautiful records into a garbage can!
Picked it up for 1€ because I liked the title, turns out to be pretty good stuff!
Found in the piles of james last, neil diamond, etc in a local shop for 1 € about 5 to 10 years ago already. With original sleeve in superb condition, unbelievable. The gems are out there in the thrift stores!!
Haven't found much Bossa Nova in bargain bins before, but this one is an absolute gem! Vinicius+Bethania+Toquinho for 1 € :)
Probably one of my best thrift store finds ever many years ago. Original pressing of Belgian punk band The Kids 1978 debut album! Unfortunately without original sleeve, beggars can't be choosers for 1 € :) Sounds awesome tho, plays about VG/VG+
Thanks to thrift store pearl hunting I recently discovered Patti Smith Group and now own a copy of their excellent first record Radio Ethiopia for just 1,5 €!
Between endless 1-2 € piles of Beethoven or James Last, there are hidden treasures to be found.
This time: Brother Jack McDuff - Gin And Orange in superb condition.
I hate windows. But I have to use it for work. The worse it gets, the more I want to break free completely, minimise my exposure to this OS. The only part I truly cannot do without I think is Microsoft Excel.
Replacing with Excel 2016 or only using webversion or so is insufficient for sure, for work it needs the SharePoint/auto save etc etc stuff. Also power query getting data from SharePoint online.
Replacing with Libreoffice or so seems completely impossible, there's too many 'special' files in organisation, with .xlsm macro mess, I don't control all that, I can't fully steer away from such mess but need full functional access.
Other than Excel, I think I could do all my work from a Linux desktop.
Is it possible by now, reliably working in an up to date excel from a base system Linux? What is the way? Have people done this? How? Do I need to run a virtual machine with win11? How do I do that? Does anyone here have experience with it? I have high degree of control over work devices and boss couldn't care less, as long as I can get my work done.
Thanks and sorry if this is the wrong community for this question (where would it belong better?)
