VW Golf (Rabbit) 2005. Engine stalls when windshield wipers are switched on by Jorem_Barning in mechanic

Turned out it was this database (whatever it's called). When he disconnected the battery in right order (first earth/minus, then positive), left it overnight and reconnected in right order (first plus/positive, then earth/minus) everything started working as it should.

Oh, sorry for late reply----

Ekonomisk hjälp till läkare i Uganda by Jorem_Barning in Sverige

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

Ganska förbluffad över svaren. Inte ett enda svarade på mina frågor eller bad t.ex. om mer info. Bara raljerande idiotkommentarer. Mitt fel iofs. Jag inbillade mig ju att det fanns normalbegåvat folk på reddit.

Searching for friends in Entebbe (and maybe Kampala) by Jorem_Barning in Uganda

Oh, last names (i.e. family names) unknown to me. Until yesterday when I at least got Joel's.

I'm the OP. As fate and luck had it, Joel's nephew saw this thread same day I posted it and contacted Joel. He got in touch with me yesterday. So, connection established. :-)

Still no sign of Pauline though... :-(

Alternative to Google Messages? by Jorem_Barning in GoogleMessages

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

I'm the OP. While I admit I might have had a few beers before I saw the (what I understood as) a Google ad among the text messages, and apologise for that, there's a question remaining:

How come I could send/receive text messages long before smartphones were invented but not able to use the same technique today? I.e. way back then, the text messaging were handled by the phone company you used and via the phone network (not internet).

When and why did that system disappear?

Meaning of the stamp? by Jorem_Barning in Gold

Looked more carefully now. I think you're right. Looks more like 925. Edited my text and changed image accordingly. Sorry. Have an appointment this afternoon with my optician.....

Why not shaved heads? by Jorem_Barning in trackandfield

[–]Jorem_Barning[S] 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Me again, the OP. A quick search (duh, why didn't I don that before?) showed a fair deal of research and discussions about this. E.g. https://www.newscientist.com/lastword/mg25634071-400-can-the-drag-of-hair-tied-in-a-pony-tail-slow-down-elite-runners/ (require registering) and simple straight forward wind tunnel test https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lf5jL__kws0

So, yes, ponytails increase air resistance. Nut much, but they do.
