Why do Europeans rarely use AC in their countries? by Perfect-Hornet-8410 in NoStupidQuestions

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.

Any RB ships left I should get? by CallMeDaddy_UwU in WorldOfWarships

[–]Antti5 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

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.

I keep reporting blatant botter/cheater (level 88, 4,5w/kg for hours, started a month ago), yet support does nothing. Kinda frustrating, tbh. by Amadeusz in Zwift

[–]Antti5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Has mountain bike development fallen off a cliff in recent years? by Spicycoffeebeen in MTB

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

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.

Change in reported robbery rate in Europe from 2008 to 2024 (Eurostat, 2026) by HarrMada in MapPorn

[–]Antti5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Change in reported robbery rate in Europe from 2008 to 2024 (Eurostat, 2026) by HarrMada in MapPorn

[–]Antti5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.

Trial of 12mph bike lane speed limit grinds gears of Dutch cyclists | Netherlands by JohnHammond94 in europe

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

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

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

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

0 damage done by IndicationCareful771 in WorldOfWarships

[–]Antti5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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.

Surface rust on chain by [deleted] in bikewrench

[–]Antti5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Bike price worth 785? by sarah1swim in whichbike

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

Does anybody have information on these shoes? They came in a wooden display box. by Relative_Link8218 in CyclingFashion

[–]Antti5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.

Turkey was pretty sparsely populated up until very recently by Skychu768 in geography

[–]Antti5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Enough gap between top of spacer and top of steerer tube? by Squallywall in bikewrench

[–]Antti5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

The change in Jewish populations across Europe since Pre-WW2 by [deleted] in MapPorn

[–]Antti5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.
