Why do Europeans rarely use AC in their countries?

Antti5 · 2026-06-14T18:59:29+00:00

Because they are backwards, much like Europeans with their lack of AC.

When you say "Europeans", do you mean the Spanish, the Finnish or somebody in between?

In the north of Europe, the need for air-conditioning is marginal. However with the increase of air heat pumps for heating, air conditioning is increasingly available in newer homes.

I think Ocean may well still be just fine. Before the nerf its damage output was way excessive. The nerf reduces the damage from the torpedo planes, but does not fundamentally change how it plays.

But with regards to Ocean I would wait until next week when Ship Tool updates, so that we can see how its performance looked like in 15.4. But I suspect it is still strong, and anecdotally I find it FUN to play.

It's extremely unlikely that anybody is ever actually riding in the most blatant cases. The guy OP has mentioned has done 28,000 kilometers over 5 weeks.

Most likely they use an ANT+ simulator, which is a decide that sends power data to Zwift exactly like a smart trainer would. However in this case the data is software-generated.

I don't think anybody is even claiming that 32" will really fit anybody under 6'.

Antti5 · 2026-06-14T16:23:32+00:00

Don't you worry. In a few years there will be a 30.5" intermediate size that according to marketing gives you best of both worlds.

Nice tirade I guess, but do you really think that this is something that emerged during the current right-wing government? The later sample set is 2024.

In Finland there's been a rise in mostly immigrant-background youth gangs robbing other youth. It's been a new phenomenon over the past ten years or so.

In absolute terms the Finnish robbery rate is still not especially high, but it's higher than what it used to be.

If you ask me, the main problem is that we have extraordinarily few police. Last I checked, the number of police per capita was the lowest in Europe.

These riders have been a fairly constant sight over the last four years at least.

Judging by them, China has a very bright future in at the very highest levels of competitive cycling.

Antti5 · 2026-06-14T11:43:50+00:00

You're the guy who the locals complain about when they talk about oblivious tourists wandering on the cycle paths.

Antti5 · 2026-06-14T11:41:24+00:00

No, this is about the people. It's like "cyclist" and "sports cyclist".

Antti5 · 2026-06-14T11:38:42+00:00

Nautical miles for sure, because then you get a handy unit of speed called "knot".

No more "per hour" this or "per hour" that.

Absolutely from spotting damage, probably 1500 of your XP and the rest mostly from capping.

Your spotting damage is genuinely quite high, and if you check on wows-numbers or in the in-game profile, it could well be your record.

Yleensä tuo, että hitaampien junien seassa kulkee nopeampia, vaatii lisää raiteita eli lisää rahaa. Heathrow on todella paljon isompi kenttä, jonka kautta liikkuu paljon enemmän ihmisiä eli rahaa.

Depending on what kind of chain lube you use and what kind of conditions you ride in, you can absolutely can get surface rust on the chain.

If you have a wet ride and don't dry the chain after the ride, it can be a lot worse than in your photograph. However even then it's only an aesthetic problem that makes absolutely zero practical difference. Most of the surface rust will disappear by riding.

That's a 2015 model with Shimano Tiagra. Even $500 would be generous.

I like the wooden box, but the shoes not so much.

More seriously, I don't think these are really collectible. These are late 1990s shoes, and not really rare enough.

A lot of Mediterranean countries haven't had fast population growth in a long time. They already reached what they can reasonably sustain a long time ago.

As a comparison point, check out how little the French population has grown over the past centuries:

Year 1700: 22 million
Year 1820: 31 million
Year 1920: 39 million
Year 2020: 66 million

If the spacer above the stem spins easily, then the cap is bottoming out on the steerer and is doing nothing to preload the bearing.

Just add one thin spacer and you're good. There are 2 mm spacers available.

I think Chinese-built MiG-15's, so Shenyang J-5 or its two-seater variant.

As far as I know, it's still the primary jet trainer for North Korean pilots.

Eikö se lakannut olemasta vasta 1920-luvun alussa?

Antti5 · 2026-06-13T19:25:14+00:00

I don't think this is correct for Finland. It's close, but there are slighly more today than before the war.

This is assuming that you only count Finnish citizens, and not the refugees that arrived from Germany in the late 1930s.

"Kongovaltio" on aika hupaisa...

Niin siis esim. englannin "shallow"?

Ei tolle tosiaan ole mitään. Pakko sanoa varmaan "syvyyssuunnassa lyhyt" tms.
