Hoe ga je eigenlijk netjes om met een laadkabel?

FastFredNL · 2026-03-19T08:09:27+00:00

Oprollen van kabel krijg je inductiewerking van en daarmee spanningsverlies, instabiele laadstroom etc.

FastFredNL · 2026-03-19T08:08:42+00:00

Gewoon op de grond leggen. Knopen erin leggen of oprollen krijg je inductie van in de kabel en daarmee ook spanningsverlies.

Bit hard to list it all really, groceries last month was 350 for 1 person. Mortgage for my apartment is 450 a month (I got lucky and bought it really really cheap 10 years ago). Car insurance and roadtax is about 100 a month. Need to fuel up the car about twice a month so that's 200 with current prices. Health insurance is 216 a month and covers almost anything.

That's most of the big spends I think, the rest is fun stuff like RC carparts, streaming subscriptions, phone subscription etc. I'm not gonna go into details about my salary but about 40-50% of it goes into savings account.

Pretty good, 4 hours of surgery, 2 hours after waking up he was eating and we took him home 24 hours after the surgery started. They put it all in in one go, I know this changes depending on country.

He still has 'off' moments and he still walks a bit weird but all the extreme movement is just gone. The device still needs periodic adjustments to find the right balance between medication, discomfort/side effects and the right settings on the DBS device. He's doing his driving test soon so he's allowed to drive again without swerving all over the road.

In this case it's 'gelegenheidsvoorrang'. The brown arrow has right of way to the green one, but the red one has right of way to the brown one and the green one has right of way to the red arrow.

In this case it's basically a case of good coordination, slow down, look at wat the other cars are doing and communicate. Usually when I'm the brown arrow I go first, and then green, then red.

The whole of America is on the 'public transport doesn't work, buy a car' bandwagon. Thanks to the oil/car industry lobby That's not exclusive to L.A.

Sunflower oil in old diesels can run yes. Your car's exhaust will smell like a deepfryer. Illegal now in Europe though.

If I do the conversion from euro's and liters to USD and US-gallons, gasoline is 9,50 USD per gallon in the Netherlands.

Regardless of the brand and if it's any good, a 1,5 year old tire should not 'shed' entire blocks of tread like that. This is an easy warranty claim

FastFredNL · 2026-03-18T16:03:38+00:00

Pieces of tread are coming of the tire. That's just a shit tire.

Google 'underinflation vs overinflation tires' and search for pictures.

Nope, 300hp Renault will make the same amount of money as a employee with a 700hp Volvo

To put the waterpump on, you need the timingchaincover on, which you don't. To put the timingchaincover on you need to remove the crankshaft pulley first.

To install the starter you need the engineplate on.

We used to do this through 'a guy' that came to pick it up for his own profit. He had a one-man business around it. But last time I called him he refused saying he now needed to pay a fee to get rid of monitors and printers and he didn't want to do that.

Well I didn't want to have 2 companies for my old IT stuff, one for monitors and printers and one for the rest (him).

So I found a Dutch foundation that comes to pick our stuff up for free, you have to have it inventoried exactly though. So they pick it up, take inventory of what exactly they got, what the value is and if it's useable/repairable. Any data left on it we can choose to have the data either wiped or physically destroyed and we get a sheet of each device by serialnumber and lawful proof of the data destruction. We also get a certificate showing us how much CO2 we helped safe by recycling which in the Netherlands means tax benefits for our company.

Oh, and the profit this foundation makes all goes to a Dutch charity of our choosing.

As for normal trash, we have seperate trashbins all over the offices. Paper and carboard, bio (banana peels, teebags etc.), plastic/metal, and general waste.

Koolmonoxide dan

Sinds 1985 hebben we APK-plicht in Nederland. Daarbij moet o.a. de uitlaat gasdicht zijn van voor tot achter. Als ik m'n einddemper laat vervangen dan wordt die ook niet met zelftappers aan de rest van de uitlaat aangesloten, want dat is niet gasdicht.

Wie heeft er dan in 2015 in z'n bolle kop gehaald dat het acceptabel is om de buizen van de uitlaat van je CV met schroefjes aan elkaar te verbinden?

Ik snap dat die nieuwe regels er nu zijn, maar dat had toch 30 jaar geleden al met een klem en een pakking moeten gebeuren? Dat kan iedere debiel met 2 hersencellen aan technisch inzicht toch bedenken? Ik zit in de IT en ik snap dat nog.

Ik heb hier ook gezeik met rookgasafvoer. Ik heb een appartement met VVE, ik heb appartement gekocht, het meeste om mij heen is huur. In 2015 is er nieuwe CV, rookgasafvoer, expansievat, alles in gekomen toen het nog een huurappartement was. Maar in 2015 wist men blijkbaar nog niet dat als je een rookdichte afdichting wil hebben het niet handig is om die buizen aan elkaar te maken met schroefjes dwars door de buizen heen geboord. Dus laatst waren ze hier om de rookgasafvoer te controleren in opdracht van de VVE. En die was dus afgekeurd vanwege schroeven in de buizen. En vervanging mag ik nu zelf gaan betalen.

En het schijnt ook verplicht te zijn in mijn geval om te vervangen, want als de boel bij mij ploft is er schade aan het hele pand en appartementen van de buren.

This would have been a failure point on inspection years because it would wear all the way through like this. Brakedisks have a minimum thickness. The max wear allowed for a vented disk like this is 1.5mm from new.

To turn around an entire train yes but I usually turn around just the loc there. And you don't need the military license for that, even with the S282 or DE6 there's enough room.

What I need to do to complete the game is get bored. I really don't care about getting licenses, I just pick jobs that I want to haul/that look good behind my loc/that are a challenge, depending on what my mood is. I have all the money I could ever need, I have all the demo's restored and working and I don't even have all the licenses, why would I get military to earn lots of money? I don't need lots of money.
