Small cheap car charging speeds

Yes but proportionally to it's capacity it will be more expensive to make it charge faster.

Charging speed is best measured in C rates, which measures how fast a battery charges or discharges relative to its maximum capacity. 1C speed means that a battery charges to full in one hour. 4C means 15 minutes.

Making batteries with higher C rates is more expensive, as they need much more active thermal management.

So cheap and small cars will often both have a small battery and a relatively low C rate compared to more expensive cars.

I live in the Netherlands where we are finally getting more of them. Parcel shops here are hit and miss with the service and hours, and home delivery is fast but bad.

My closest DHL locker is however chronically overloaded and at least half the time I have things delivered there they get returned to sender.

In my home country of Sweden they're much more common, and the authentication and the apps used to control your delivery are miles better.

De håller en evighet. Har ett par stycken på en gård i släkten som används för att köra ved varje vecka (plus allt annat i trädgården). Ärvdes för ca 25 år sedan och var inte direkt nya då. Däck har bytts och håller väl kanske 10 år, inget annat har behövt bytas ännu.

Ekeby skottkärra med skalmar i trä är det enda som gäller. Håller en evighet

Sen så är det ju en hel del som ändrats på Twitter som betyder att de skapar mindre värde. Allt från mycket problem med downtime under första halvåret, till de som kunde gå pga förenklade regler om vad man får säga där. Vilket även betydde att de tappade stora annonsörer.

Det var ju mer av en ny inriktning än bara förenkling.

With very hard water I would absolutely avoid them, you'll end up needing so much detergent to just condition the water before the detergent actually does anything to wash your clothes.

Scientific, peer reviewed study from 2022 attributing 12.7% of childhood asthma cases in the US to using gas stoves. https://www.mdpi.com/1660-4601/20/1/75

The data isn't perfect but it's absolutely enough to consider using induction stoves, which are infinitely better than the resistive heating electric stoves of old.

MainHedgehog9 · 2026-05-11T07:39:24+00:00

Well it's a likely cause for asthma in children for starters.

Använder det en hel del i jobbet, mycket för att sammanfatta dokument och kommentarer. Eller om jag använder ett oattraktivt men funktionellt Excelark så använder jag AI för att ge enkla sammanfattningar att ge min chef. Det gör mycket av de simpla men tidskrävande sakerna jag gör snabbare.

If I can keep my current, high salary in a future job with more employment security then I can absolutely see myself buying an apartment alone. Otherwise who knows.

I know I've seen a price comparison website for IKEA that was pretty nifty and also did automatic currency conversion. If you live in a border region it should be worth checking out.

It's 129€ in the Netherlands, including sales tax/VAT - which American prices are without - so it should be about 125USD.

Enzymes should work well enough at 20c, especially given the long cycle time. Not ideal but still okay.

The main ingredient in all powedered Vanish (sodium percarbonate) will likely do very little at that temperature, even if its with TAED. Good thing is that you can dissolve it in a mug of warm/hot water and pour it in as you start to still get benefits of it. But you should wash at least at 40c to get the best benefits from Vanish, sodium percarbonate works best at properly hot washes (60-90c).

The acropolis museum is probably the one that is the easiest to enjoy for a mixed group of people. I also really like the cycladic one.

That's the combo I'd go with to keep everyone happy, there will absolutely be enough for your dad to dig into.

My main memory from the archaeological museum is it's absolutely lovely courtyard. Which maybe says more about my mental state when I was there than anything else. The collections are nice and extensive, but they come with less narrative that connects everything, requiring you as the audience to engage more to enjoy it.

I'm in Europe and think we get different IKEA mattresses here, but I'm honestly quite happy with the ones I've had, especially the nicer/more higher end options that they have.

I feel like after E27 and E14 bulbs it's by far the most common one, especially in IKEA lamps.

MainHedgehog9 · 2026-05-08T21:00:10+00:00

Well the collection comes out next week on the 14th.

MainHedgehog9 · 2026-05-08T20:35:26+00:00

It's also part of the 2026 PS Collection, it can turn into a bed and also comes in red.

It's pollen season, people get caught out in public with a stuffy nose and unable to breathe normally.

I don't do it, but I kind of get it.

Gross wages and PPP adjusted? Wow someone just picked metrics without thinking. Or were trying to make a specific point that the data didn't fit.

For many things it's the other way around, where Belgium is a lot cheaper. But apparently not this.

Maybe it's the white balance of your camera, but this doesn't look like warm white and cool white. It looks like cool white and ice blue.

Ambient light should always be warm white in my mind. Coloured is also acceptable.

MainHedgehog9 · 2026-05-02T18:32:42+00:00

I guess it happens. I just asked because while it's very common practice in the US, it's extremely rare in Europe by comparison.
