All EVs have a speaker and the noise is standardized. The problem is there is a different standard in each country and the solution is to make one noise which covers all of the standards - thats why it ends up sounding…
I think a better term would be a 15m neighborhood, rather than city. I live in Stuttgart in Germany and there is no way that you can walk this city in 15m, however my neighborhood has everything I need (store, bank,…
I wouldn't say that building on your skillset as (in this example) a skilled craftsman is deferring happiness. You still enjoy what you create today, even if its not as good as what you will create one year from now. I…
When I'm doing manual machining at the lathe or mill I will use an actual calculator rather than smearing my phone with greasy fingers.
Expanding my workshop where I build stuff out of wood and metal. I can now 3d print parts and cast them in metal (including gold), build furniture out of wood, fix just about anything. Started a youtube channel, so…
German is not a romantic language, it is a Germanic language :)
Hard choice man. I went to a private engineering school and graduated with ~80k of debt. Paid it off in 4 years after graduation - no regrets about going there. I was not highly motivated or focused on what I wanted to…
Are you swiss or were you an international student?
I'm a strava user and use it for biking and running...I am also a snowboarder and I have to ask...why would you ever record snowboarding runs?
I am 184 cm (~6') and 62-64 kg (137-141 lbs), have kept this weight range for the last ~15 years. Maybe sharing my diet/sport schedule could help ppl..? I drink mostly water and coffee (rarely but sometimes redbull,…
I use mine to 3d print parts and then cast them in metal. They make special resins for this process, works great. I can go from Sketch - Fusion - Slicer - 3d Print - Cast in about 18 hours depending on the part size…
See my comment below but again - this is reposted online everywhere but I've yet to encounter this even one time in my 10 years here that US citizens get denied an account or get complaints from their bank about FACTA.
I have a German bank and am a US citizen. No problems here. I've seen this reposted online on several occasions but living here and knowing other Americans here I've not actually heard any stories of people being denied…
I've found a solution to this - you need to use the internet in any language other than English. You get much higher quality results that are not so full of ads and SEO and all of the other evil stuff which is going on.…
I'm with the other guy - I've owned my car for 8 years and never touched the climate control except to set it to 24 in the winter and 22 in the summer. Otherwise I just let it do its thing, which works great. 2013 Audi…
Dude, no. With your argumentation a mechanic should never replace a fuel pump in an ICE vehicle, or rebuild an engine, or rebuild a transmission, or replace airbags. There are speciality OE tools and training required…
Look into cycling, you have a big range of efforts you can do from barely anything to full out and you will any ways put some km's behind you. Its less impactful on the knees and joints in general, running is relatively…
Nothing caused by XP itself, mostly issues which come up that seemed (at least to me - as a non-SW guy) to be connected with the immaturity of XP. Its been some years but I remember often playing around in the TCP/IP…
You make a slightly different point, perhaps I missed the original point of the comment. I agree with you that upgrading HW without SW is much nicer than SW without HW. No argument there.
Have to partially disagree here. Remember Windows XP? Do you want to go back to that after having used W10? In W10 everything just...works. Think about how much time you spent fucking around with drivers or registry…
My experience: we were working long hours (until 2am) trying to solve problems which were unsolvable. The end goal could not be reached. Second to that, engineering is a rather thankless job. You get nearly no feedback…
A society doesn't just need productive, value adding jobs which fill 100% of the working generations time. A society also needs fine arts, theatre, film because its part of being human. If we were all corporate wage…
Does anyone want to team up and build the "dumb" electric car company?
When I lived in India I saw the following...the image will always stay with me and has really changed me. In Bangalore (Koramangala) where I was living was an area filled with very rich people (like western standards…
Not true, in Stuttgart we have an organization called "Das Kaufhaus", same basic principle as goodwill. I shop there and donate things often.
