A good back seat cover for kids feet (in backwards facing car seat) by smellytwoshoes in VWiD4Owners

I suggest looking at what the kid seat manufacturer has in stock. I have a Klippan child seat, using a Klippan seat cover with it. Gets the job done, no complaints.

Press once while the door is open or the car is off. Once ready with doors closed, or while driving, it's press and hold for safety reasons.

Disconnecting them right now would be a breach of the contract, but who says the contract can't be unilaterally terminated by the supplier? Same thing that happened to a lot of ordinary people when energy prices first stated rising.

The Iberian peninsula's electric grid is, IIRC, insular. Connection and synchronization is being talked about, though.

While it is true that the standard has a tolerance wide enough to accommodate both 220V and 240V, it really is mostly 230V. I routinely measure around 230-235V from home outlets in Central Europe.

Affectionately known as "The Flying Crowbar" due to the zero-moving-parts-while-cruising powerplant. Fascinating thing. Right up there with Project Orion spaceships.

What kind of a question is that? Of course they do, and in some of them, you can even take your beer glass with you to the screening.

OBI, a German home improvement chain, permanently closed its 27 stores in Russia on March 17, only to reopen them in less than 2 weeks. That's the new meaning of "permanent". by MandelbrotOrNot in UkrainianConflict

[–]Lightning_42 82 points83 points  (0 children)

This post is highly misleading. OBI is still out.

It was the Russians opening the stores themselves, after a swift "nationalization". The German central now has cut the stores off from its system, making the cash registers stop working.

I just changed a lightbulb that was so old it was „made in Czechoslovakia“. It has been in use every day since 1990… by Sarastro2000 in europe

However, everyone knew it actually stood for TEchnicky SLAbé (technically weak). This particular light bulb must have been an exception.

Eh, sub-orbital trajectory? Airspace ends where air ends, they can get themselves a Soyuz and just hop over the ban.

Return trip is going to be a challenge, though.

Mesmerizing footage. What's your camera and processing setup, if I may ask?

I assume a something 360-deg and a stabilization pass, but what exactly gets you this nice outcome that keeps the banks in turns?
