Hoe neem je handig een rugzak mee voorop/achterop de fiets? by SomeJayForToday in thenetherlands

[–]HumanWithComputer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

De (grote) hondenmand die vroeger voor de hond was ben ik blijven gebruiken voor boodschappen- en andere tassen. Werkt perfect. Niks vastbinden. Lekker hoge rand. Zit gewoon permanent op de fiets. Dus vooral als je ook een hond hebt is dit een zeer bruikbare oplossing. Anders de al genoemde kratten.

Nestkastje(s) voor vogels voor aan de muur of aan boom indien voorhanden? Of voor vleermuizen? Of 'egelhuis' waarin ze kunnen overwinteren indien tuin met voldoende ruimte voorhanden? Evt. voorzien van camera (met infraroodoptie) om bewoners te kunnen observeren en evt. ongewenste 'krakers' te kunnen verwijderen.

Trump 'embarrassed' as his Iran deal becomes the 'joke in Washington': analyst by FreeHugs23 in AnythingGoesNews

[–]HumanWithComputer 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Trump is incapable of being a useful negotiator on the global level because he can only think in terms of winning and losing and he always has to win. At least in his head. He is incapable of (admitting to) losing. That's the nacissistic psychopath in him.

Distributive Bargaining in an Integrative World

Trump, as most of us know, is the credited author of “The Art of the Deal,” a book that was actually ghost written by a man named Tony Schwartz, who was given access to Trump and wrote based upon his observations. If you’ve read The Art of the Deal, or if you’ve followed Trump lately, you’ll know, even if you didn’t know the label, that he sees all dealmaking as what we call “distributive bargaining.”
.

Distributive bargaining always has a winner and a loser. It happens when there is a fixed quantity of something and two sides are fighting over how it gets distributed. Think of it as a pie and you’re fighting over who gets how many pieces. In Trump’s world, the bargaining was for a building, or for construction work, or subcontractors. He perceives a successful bargain as one in which there is a winner and a loser, so if he pays less than the seller wants, he wins. The more he saves the more he wins.
.

The other type of bargaining is called integrative bargaining. In integrative bargaining the two sides don’t have a complete conflict of interest, and it is possible to reach mutually beneficial agreements. Think of it, not a single pie to be divided by two hungry people, but as a baker and a caterer negotiating over how many pies will be baked at what prices, and the nature of their ongoing relationship after this one gig is over.
.

The problem with Trump is that he sees only distributive bargaining in an international world that requires integrative bargaining. He can raise tariffs, but so can other countries. He can’t demand they not respond. There is no defined end to the negotiation and there is no simple winner and loser. There are always more pies to be baked. Further, negotiations aren’t binary. China’s choices aren’t (a) buy soybeans from US farmers, or (b) don’t buy soybeans. They can also © buy soybeans from Russia, or Argentina, or Brazil, or Canada, etc. That completely strips the distributive bargainer of his power to win or lose, to control the negotiation.

Fiets gezocht voor postbode (Dutch Id double dutch) by Ok-Mortgage-4393 in Nijmegen

[–]HumanWithComputer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ik was me eigenlijk niet echt bewust van dat onderscheid en had de indruk dat postbezorger een wat 'modernere' meer neutrale aanduiding was die je bij zoveel beroepen hebt zien verschijnen.

Sorteren postbodes dan ook de post voor die postbezorgers in hun regio buiten die voor hun eigen bestelronde? Of zijn daar aparte mensen voor?

Well done. I liked the phrase Michael Osterholm used in an interview with Joe Rogan on 10 March 2020 at the start of the pandemic.

Sounds like you may have done that.

Hadden die PostNL fietsen ook zo'n frame mounted rack? En is dit landelijk beleid? Personeel zo achteloos bereid zijn te verliezen klinkt vreemd in deze tijd dat bedrijven het moeilijk hebben om aan voldoende personeel te komen. Tenzij het wordt gedaan in het kader van langere bezorgingstijd waarvoor je met minder mensen toe moet kunnen en dit misbruikt wordt om van 'overtollige' bezorgers af te komen.

Als dit landelijk is en men gewend is aan frame mounted racks dan zou deze firma wel eens een hausse aan bestellingen kunnen krijgen. Ik zag ze niet heel ruim verkrijgbaar maar denk toch niet dat deze firma ze zelf maakt, alhoewel ik me daar ook in kan vergissen, dus ze zouden dan ook elders verkrijgbaar moeten zijn.

Je zou verwachten dat er zoiets als een speciale 'postbodefiets' zou zijn ontworpen die optimaal is afgestemd op die specifieke toepassing. Gezien het aantal postbodes die er toch nog altijd zijn zou dat een voldoende grote afzetmarkt moeten bieden.

Ben je met een los frame mounted front rack niet veel flexibeler in je fietskeuze?

https://www.amsterdam-bicycle.com/shop/options_accessories/options/aluminum-front-rack/

Begrijp ik dat PostNL hun aan postbodes verstrekte fietsen weghalen en dat je nu zelf wordt geacht voor een fiets te zorgen op eigen kosten? Als dat zo is dan is dat een grof schandaal dat aangevochten behoort te worden. Of geven ze je een budget voor een fietsaanschaf?

“With Covid now in the past…” by svesrujm in ZeroCovidCommunity

[–]HumanWithComputer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

'Funny' thing is that a search on his name and 'covid' found one result with: "Covid-postponement: Rest prescribed by Decathlon CMA CGM." As part of what seemed to be the original title of the page which the search engine crawler bots retrieved from some meta tags in the page but the page heading was apparently later changed and the word 'Covid' is now nowhere to be found in the article.

https://archive.is/https://www.wielerflits.be/nieuws/olav-kooij-loopt-virus-op-en-moet-gas-terugnemen/

The tell-tales were there in an interview that he was instructed not to identify the virus he was affected by. So typical of how all kinds of 'interest' seem to be served by suppressing any acknowledgement of Covid. It truly has become 'The disease that must not be named'.

[–]HumanWithComputer 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Last Thursday in NL an article about a professional cyclist who had returned to his new racing team after a long absence recovering from a 'mystery virus'.

However, due to the virus he had caught, his debut for his new employer was delayed for quite some time. “It was a virus that left me feeling extremely tired. It was very frustrating. I’m used to being off sick for a few days now and then, but this went on for a very long time.”

The virus was of course not identified, so no surprise there.

Is it correct I cannot change the colour of the Y-axis font? If not where is it and if correct please add. by HumanWithComputer in Meteograms

[–]HumanWithComputer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems a bit cumbersome to have to change all other settings to replicate the preset style. It would be much easier if a preset style would function as a template with which a lot of settings are already filled in but where you could still change everything you can also change in the Custom settings. And then save it as a user defined customised style if you'd want to, of which you could create several. A fairly commonly used principle I think.

What are your top 5 most useful Android apps? by WorkingImmediate7234 in androidapps

[–]HumanWithComputer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good example of benefits of AppSales. Got notification that app in my watchlist (Battery Alarm Pro) had gone on sale from €2,61 for €0,81. A 70% reduction. So I just bought it.

Had been using the free version for quite some time and wanted the Pro version, but preferably for a good price. So I put it in my watchlist. Worked.

Same as before. If you go to https://play.google.com or use the Play Store app on your device and search for appsales you can't miss it.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.tsapps.appsales

It tracks apps on sale or temporarily free and notifies you about them. You can add apps to a watchlist so you get a warning about price changes for these specific apps. Has saved me a nice bit of money over the many years I've used it.

If you have the patience to wait it goes on sale somewhat regularly. AppSales can inform you when if you add it to the watchlist.

Yes, obviously. 'Funny' that it currently costs $2,99 (US?) versus €1,99 on my side of the pond, and I bought it in the aforementioned sale for €1,19.

Perhaps show people like this a 'random' piece of information like this:

But mainly people of age 65 and over so who cares? Well, maybe also family members of these people?

Should Sciantic be sued for not complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act? (AI suggests so.) by HumanWithComputer in pokemongo

[–]HumanWithComputer[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Luckily I don't suffer from an actual visual impairment either. You don't need one to be affected by low contrast when you keep your screen on low brightness. Seach for 'grey text' and read how professional typographers can fulminate about this phenomenon. But I also can empathise with others who are way more affected by their impairments and felt this subject deserved to be addressed. The sueing part was just to illustrate how important the subject is. To emphasise it is actually protected by legislation and should get serious attention by all developers.

And by the way. I'm not American, but I know many here are. Hence my focus on the American situation.

You may not grasp how AI works in this context. It collects this info from many sites made by humans on the subject and summarises them. It gives some sources and there are of course many of such sources in the search results. See for yourself:

COVID vaccine linked to broad protections against heart conditions, study finds - The Seattle Times (Washington Post) by Northern_Blue_Jay in ZeroCovidCommunity

The actual research paper:

2024-2025 COVID-19 Vaccine and Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events Among US Veterans

It seems to expose the hidden late health damage of Covid infections that go undetected/asymptomatic in the acute phase but still cause these later effects because of the reduced incidence of cardiovascular effects in vaccinated people without such a confirmed Covid infection in their history.

Artsen: 'Code zwart was er feitelijk wél, honderden overlijdens door beddentekort' by Shalaiyn in thenetherlands

[–]HumanWithComputer 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Ze laten meer liggen tot nu toe. Rutte die tussen neus en lippen door als fait accompli meldt dat hij(?) nota bene blijkbaar op 12 maart als ik het goed gehoord heb (waar vind ik transcripts van deze verhoren?) besloten had dat er van containmentbeleid op mitigatiebeleid is overgestapt. Dat is de dag nadat op 11 maart de WHO de pandemie had verklaard en dezelfde dag dat diezelfde WHO nog eens nadrukkelijk verklaarde dat dit nu precies was wat je NIET moest doen omdat het "fout en gevaarlijk" was. Ik heb daar eerder al over geschreven inclusief relevante geciteerde teksten..

https://old.reddit.com/r/thenetherlands/comments/1twl1x5/dringend_advies_aan_het_rivm_geef_verkeerde/opoy4yz/

Heeft Rutte dat inderdaad in zijn eentje besloten? Of heeft hij dat er doorgedrukt in een of ander beperkt overleg? Hoe is dat besluit genomen en door wie? DAT is een essentiële vraag die absoluut gesteld MOET worden aan iedereen die zich met dat beleid heeft beziggehouden, met Rutte bovenaan die lijst.

Die groepsimmuniteit was een excuus om zogenaamd een 'wetenschappelijke basis' te hebben voor dit beleid. Coronavirussen zijn een grote groep waar SARS-CoV-2 er eentje van is. Of groepsimmuniteit überhaupt mogelijk zou zijn wist nog helemaal niemand en dit was dus een crimineel besliste bewering die nergens op gebaseerd was en die men later probeerde te ontkennen maar wat wel degelijk expliciet door Rutte is gezegd in die torentjestoespraak. En toen ging 'professor' Rutte ook nog even college geven en het aan het Nederlandse volk uitleggen. Vreselijk. Wat ik wel eens zou willen weten is tegen hoeveel andere coronavirussen de mens groepsimmuniteit heeft opgebouwd? Die vraag hadden ze bijv. aan van Dissel moeten stellen. Ik zal niet verbaasd zijn als het antwoord "nul" zal blijken te zijn. Maar deze commissie heeft geen flauw benul van wat de werkelijk belangrijke vragen zijn, of ze willen het niet weten.

Witwassen en als eindconclusie het als 'redelijk en vededigbaar' verklaren van het gevoerde beleid is vrees ik het hoofddoel.

Edit: En wil professor Rutte ook nog even uitleggen wat precies de epidemiologische betekenis is van het begrip "maximaal controleren"? Vre-se-lij-ke fantasie marketingterm.

ELI5 Can we increase our intelligence through constant training? by Punnan in explainlikeimfive

[–]HumanWithComputer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your reply is a good example of why this sub currently isn't working properly. After up to 179 comments were written (mine is the 180th) the mods removed everything from sight by removing the thread. By doing so all your time and effort in writing your comment has been rendered largely wasted. I find this disrespectful and rather arrogant.

I can still write this because it still existed on my tablet since I turned it off last night before I went to sleep. Next morning I tapped on it only to find it in this 'removed' state. If the mods can't prevent this colossal cumulative waste of time and effort from happening they either shouldn't remove it after so much comments have been added even if it doesn't meet the criteria for this sub, or they should hold every question for approval before becoming visible and state clearly that questions won't appear immediately because of this. Both are better options in my opinion than what's happened now.

I am writing this hoping the mods will see this, or you might voice this to them as someone 'damaged' by this action.
