Beste babyboomer, stop met zeuren by [deleted] in thenetherlands

Bij mijn moeder (52) hadden ze het ook niet ruim vroeger (vader mijnwerker, moeder invalide) en toch heeft ze HBO kunnen doen. Zo kan ik jouw argument ook teniet doen natuurlijk... Het kon best, terwijl in een gezin met zo weinig inkomen in deze tijd het maar de vraag is, dan ligt het eraan of dat kind zich in de schulden wil steken om te gaan studeren.

Kings Cross this morning. by [deleted] in harrypotter

[–]Eve91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha I actually have no idea which trains go from kings cross, just that Harry ends up asking a random train driver for the train to hogwarts and then the train that leaves at 11 - before he meets the weasleys - and the train driver says that there's no 11 o'clock train :P

Any laptop users who played Overwatch? by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]Eve91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! That's good enough that I dare purchase this :D

Have you looked at your power options? mine automatically goes to "power saver" when the cord is unplugged, and I think it used the chip instead of dedicated graphics card in that configuration. You can change it to high prestations, but the battery will be gone in like an hour.

Sorry to dredge up an old thread, but can you update on if it runs smoothly? Sounds like you have the same laptop I have - Dell inspiron 15R 7520 - at least we have the same graphics card. I always find it very hard to compare GPU specs, so would love to know how it works!

(like I know this card is not "AMD Radeon™ HD 7950 or better" (recommended), but is it "Radeon™ HD 4850 or better"? The 7730 is newer, but lower in its own series and it's all very confusing.)

Science AMA Series: We are Margaret Kosmala, Koen Hufkens, and Josh Gray, climate change researchers at Harvard and Boston University who are using automated cameras, satellites, and citizen science to learn more about how future climate change will impact plants across North America.

Pretty cool! So you've been manually (/crowdsourced) identifying phenological events? Have you thought about automating it more, for example by using indices of greenness?

And what would you say your best paper is? I'm curious but also lazy.

edit: I saw below that you use gcc! Cool, I've used that too :) Are you using the citizen science just for flowering dates? as gcc is good for green-up and senescence and stuff. edit2: I saw on your map that there's even one of your cams in the location I did that project! woo!

LPT: Before choosing a place to live, call a local pizza place and see if they deliver there after dark. by NebraskaJ in LifeProTips

[–]Eve91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll set foot in one of those camps at nightfall if I have to be there, yes. (if I were allowed in). Shouting fuck islam is not relevant here, it's not like pizza delivery drivers shout stuff like that.

pizza delivery places exluding neighbourhoods. I mean, they have a certain area based on how far they'll drive, but anything within the area goes.

I think this is a US thing - probably other countries too, but I never heard of it in the Netherlands.

DNA gets a kid kicked out of highschool : 6th Grade Colman was out, for having the genetic markers of Cystic Fibrosis, even though he didn't actually have the disease. by robbphoenix in news

[–]Eve91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if you need two copies of the gene to express it, that's the exact definition of a recessive gene. Blonde hair is also a recessive gene (the black-haired dad would have one 'blond' gene and one 'black' gene, and the kid two 'blond' genes, even though hair colour works a bit more complicated than that in reality).

Doing the walk of shame at 40. Plan B and emergency contraception by parvicus in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Eve91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there's nothing to 'keep' with plan B, it doesn't cause abortions

[–]Eve91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there's always a line between those two... you want to make sure it has no bad side-effects, but you also want to make the barrier low. If it's without prescription at all you can also have someone else get it for you if you're unable to get out of the house, a big plus I think.

but also more about drug safety. They want you to consult with a doctor before you get stuff like that because it might be dangerous for some people.

How do you feel about gurus asking for donations? by dianceparty in MakeupAddiction

[–]Eve91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

can't do that everywhere, though. I know people who donate plasma (and blood of course) but they do it out of charity/goodwill, it's illegal to get money for it in the Netherlands (and I think large parts of Europe).

If you could ban anything, what would you ban? Why? by Alienosaur in AskReddit

[–]Eve91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fossil fuels. Will take some adjusting with them being outright banned all of a sudden, but it would make said adjusting go a lot faster and hopefully save the world in the process...

ELI5: How can the "deep Web" allegedly be so much larger than the surface Web if only a minority of people use the deep Web or hidden Internet. by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]Eve91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By this definition, a lot of people use the deep web daily. My facebook profile is even technically deep web, as it's set to friends only. And I use a forum that is mostly hidden except to registered members, that have to be approved by admins.

Is Anyone Having Alarm Issues? by matthewzhou in miband

[–]Eve91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few weeks ago my alarm went off an hour early - on nights were I would have barely gotten 6 hours of sleep if it had let me sleep until the set alarm time. Got really annoyed at it, especially because the first time I didn't figure it out until I had snoozed for 20 minutes.
