I'm that hoarder, and granted, not in terminal stage, but enough to severely impact my quality of life. And I disagree, I think it would take me two days to clear out the house, but mostly lack the energy and motivation to do it. So no

I disagree. I spent about 2 years in Romania without healthcare of any kind. I was on a career break/sabbatical. And in the 4 years I've spent in the Netherlands, I've only went to a doctor's office once, for some abdomi

I live in The Netherlands and my yearly expenses are less than 20k EUR per year, and also have a car (major expense around here). But I don't pay rent. Several years ago I used to live in Romania, and similarly, had expenses a lot lowe

Now that I found out about him, and saw an [interview]( https://index.hu/video/2018/07/23/rejtett_motoros_kerekpar_b... ) he gave years ago, an old thought of mine came up. I was always thinking this was a

Except that the recycling ... cycle is not perfect. Far from it. I'd reckon maybe half of all lithium ends up in recycling. Other half probably ends up in the landfill. For instance, I picked up a broken ebike from the trash not long a

Well, years ago, I was running my indirectly injected diesel straight off sunflower oil, so that was plant based too. But your point is valid. Comparison is still useful for getting a grasp of the quantities involved.

Lately blablacar has been charging hitchhikers/travelers up front. So you as a driver know for sure you won't end up with nothing. This is really useful IMO, but also mostly significantly reduce the popularity of the service in pl

For comparison, a small ICE car produces around 100g of CO2/km, so with the same carbon budget you could drive 10km.

Alternator delete is a very common hack in the ecomodder community (usually coupled with LiFePo or Lithium battery instead of the regular lead-acid). It reduces the complexity and load on the engine, and does give a few percentage better fu

> I can't believe that they wouldn't take cash? What's so hard to believe about that? Lots of places in the Netherlands don't accept cash (probably out of convenience).

Still, I bought a rental sometimes around 2016-2017 IIRC, and it's still one of the best investments I ever made. Doubled in price, nominally, and took in almost a decade of virtually non-interrupted rent. On paper, it's roughly t

Isn't it completely obvious that those are AI-generated images? To me, it is. Also, account is new, everything is very fishy to me.

It's unlikely you can make 2.5 billion with a single unleveraged trade. The market went up by what, 6-7% that day? Nobody bets his whole net worth on this to make a profit like that. So I think leverage was definitely involved, which j

I've also been away from the tech (and AI scene) for a few years now. And I mostly stayed away from LLMs. But I'm certain that all the content is baked into the model, during training. When you query the model locally (since I sup

I appreciate everyone offering to help. Since I can no longer remove the comment, I removed my email address from my profile. May you also have help available when needed.

I don't really need money but I guess I could use some sort of assistance, or personal advice, or free therapy, or a friend. Or something along those lines. I don't know for sure. I'm struggling with a lot of worrying. I&#x27

This is much smarter than what they did in the Netherlands, where the panels are literally underneath the bike path, so bikes ride on them. They are constantly covered in filth and are not running anywhere close to their full capacity, irre

The Netherlands has such a speed limit on its highways and it's quite effective.

When I think of my E-Bike battery of ~400Wh that can keep going for ~100km (admittedly, with some assistance), I'm surprised this laptop can only go for 16h on that. The energy required to move 80kg (me+bike) 25km is significant.

Interestingly enough, there are a lot of books on archive.org that are not on LibGen, usually high quality scans. That's another source that should be mirrored, given the legal trouble surrounding archive.

But let's be honest, the quality of life in places like Transnistria is quite bad. Lack of services, infrastructure, a population strongly supporting Putin. I wouldn't want to be stuck there for years, to the point where even a fe

You're somehow implying that eating meat is bad for human health, which considering how general a statement it is, is bound to be completely false. Human beings have thrived eating meat for hundreds of thousands of years. And it's
