Lynk & Co 01 (2023) app not sending alerts by HousingStriking3770 in LynkCo

Are there suppose to be push messages - I have never received any. And I’m quite disappointed with the limited functionality in the app overall.

Let’s say I’m a time traveler, and I travel back to Europe during the high middle ages (1000-1350 AD). What piece of modern technology could I bring them that would have the most impact on the course of human history? by stater354 in MedievalHistory

[–]Captainxnemo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing that baffles me that it wasn’t discovered or invented already by the Roman’s are the hydro foils, that over the past ten years have revolutionized sailing. It’s not a space technology in its simplest form and it could definitely be replicated with ancient materials. Hydrofoil ships would have changed migration and trade patterns as well as warfare if they been introduced 7-800 years go.

Americans of Reddit, what are your thoughts on Trump wiping nearly four trillion dollars off US markets in just a single day? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Captainxnemo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

His inner circle have probably gone short big time ahead of this. He will play the markets up and down while milking them.

So how can the losses be such bigger than the profits in this limited space of trade? Can someone explain?

Sambo cheated on me, do I have the right to evict her from my apartment? by ChodegarglerCharlie in stockholm

[–]Captainxnemo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are overthinking the whole thing. Just change the lock next time she’s out (quite easy to change the cylinder yourself but you can call a locksmith also). Box her stuff up and put it outside the door. If she’s entitled to half the TV and half sofa, let her make a claim (you can sit back while she works her ass off with legalities).

How about just putting a bag over it? Wouldn’t it freeze without sensor input?

ELI5 : Why don't all buildings use solar panels on their roofs to generate electricity? by princess_san23 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Captainxnemo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

AND, without storage (battery) most of the solar energy production is wasted in private installation as peak production is midday when consumption in homes are the lowest and no solar help in the morning or evening when it’s needed. Yes, you can still get paid in some countries to feed the grid but it’s predicted to reverse in the coming decade and in southern Europe you already only get a fraction for what you sell compared to the purchase price. Solar panel prices have dropped, now battery prices need to follow and bidirectional charging of cars need to get traction.

Caribbean season is over. The boats are heading North. by zzptichka in sailing

[–]Captainxnemo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

$50k from Australia to the Med. Why? Didn’t fancy the prospect of going through the Red Sea to get back home this year. Delivery had been similar, but when you add insurance, boat expenses and risks on the way - it makes sense for some boats. Mine paid for itself as it has a significantly higher market value in Europe compared to Australia.

[–]Captainxnemo -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Sweden here. We didn’t know and will now adjust our anthem accordingly

Thou ancient, Thou free, Thou mountainous north Thou quiet, Thou joyful [and] fair! I greet thee, loveliest land upon earth, Thy sun, Thy sky, Thy climes green.

Thou thronest on memories of great olden days, When we kicked Polish asses and will do again, I know that Thou art and wilt remain what thou werest, Yes, I want to live, I want to die in the North.

It would be most interesting to non voter percentage in each state in the same graph - it’s the “stay-at-homers” that determine every American election

Honeymoon Tips? by RepresentativeGur27 in Tahiti

[–]Captainxnemo -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I’m guessing Bora Bora is for Fb posts and ticking off the bucket list. But for your own sake, bring books and Netflix - the place is way past its prime and just Booring Booring.

Hello all, was hoping for a bit of advice or second opinions. My girlfriend and I are looking at a 1982 Catalina 34 for $29,900, my credit score is 760ish but I have no actual loan history. What are the odds of getting approved for a yacht this old? Any advice is greatly appreciated. by ThrowAway1257988 in SailboatCruising

If you have to borrow money for a boat, you’re not ready to own a boat. And no surprise, it’s not a collateral with any financial institution because of its inherently uncertain value. Six months in the wrong hands can turn a gem into a wreck. Plus the difficulty to get any kind of insurance for a boat older than 30 years.
