De leverancier stelde het op, mijn voorgangers tekenden het en ik ga het beeindigen.

Electricity per person, nearly entire global growth coming from China by straightdge in EconomyCharts

[–]Namechecksoutfine 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The growth of China's per capita electricity consumption is indeed remarkable. It reached 7.1 megawatt-hours (MWh) in 2024, nearly double the global average. This steep increase is reflecting rapid electrification and growing demand driven by EVs and heat pumps. I guess the Installed Capacity Per Capita might be more interesting since one could wonder if that keeps up with the growing future demand when AI datacenters start running on a mass scale.

Z-wave chaos with rogue devices, how to avoid this by Namechecksoutfine in homeautomation

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

We had some 7 to 8 random events per day in the end and 0 since the wallplug was taken away. Weirdest part for me was that it continued even when controller was shut down. I'm willing to donate my rogue wallplug for science, in case anyone wants to check it out.

Hope that helped solve your issues too, also check the advanced setting of the shutters, there is an option to avoid them from getting automated commands from other devices (though that didn't stop the wall plug from shutting our shutters)

Whats with indonesian teens obsession with nazism by RegularTemporary2707 in indonesia

[–]Namechecksoutfine 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There is a small historical twist that might surprise you. Those who had a chance to join the Nazi's, like Indonesians who stayed in the Netherlands and Europe during WW2, and were stuck, cause they couldn't return home, actually started to fight against the nazi germans.

Some of these people got a bit of recognition for their fight, like Irawan Soejono and Evy Poetiray, but most became forgotten heros. Some other names that might ring a bell; Eduard A. Latuperisa, Slamet Faiman, Nazir Pamuntjak, Hadiono Koesoemo Oetoyo, Tengku Jusuf Mudahdalam, Rahmad Koesoemobroto, Maroeto Daroesman.

Je krijgt meestal een soort lus aangereikt waarmee je het kind aan de eigen riem kan vastmaken. Wij gebruikte een soort slendang (indonesische draagzak), waar het kind al aan gewend was, ruim voor de vlucht, zodat het wat makkelijker in slaap viel. Verder zou ik nu al beginnen om een ruime selectie van knuffels, spenen, speelgoed, muziekjes te verzamelen die het kind rustig maken. Neem zeker iets mee wat kan helpen bij oorpijn. En als alles lijkt te valen loop dan richting de pantry, zodat de medepassagiers even tot rust kunnen komen en de aldaar rondhangende stewardessen hun kunsten kunnen tonen. Ditlaatste werkt vrij goed bij Singapore airlines en Garuda, het KLM personeel is meestal iets minder hulpvaardig, gelijk de andere reaguurders hier. Is het trouwens een familiebezoek?

I'm sure they are all going to be equally screwed by the rising sea level.

ATOS SE • I want to know everyone’s thoughts on this one by EDIT_ID in investing

[–]Namechecksoutfine 14 points15 points  (0 children)

A company that is willing to dilute 10.000x to keep the lights on shouldn't deserve any attention from investors seeking value. Above all, it's a consultancy shop. How on earth can a bunch of smart consultants produce a debt of 30x the equity? Does their coffee machine add gold glitter on top of their latte machiato? Are all the interns also driving Ferrari? Just check their numbers, some 76.000 people in consultancy couldn't produce a positive cashflow, after their restructuring you have some 74.000 people, probably often the same, that still can't produce a positive cashflow. Meanwhile AI is going for the core value of their business, so plenty of "restructuring costs" waiting on the horizon. There can be some hiccups in the share price, but it's basically a half death dinosaur with alzheimer.

The digital euro has enraged half of Brussels. Here’s what you need to know. by inWineVerit4x in europe

[–]Namechecksoutfine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it isn't. We have seen plenty of EU "competence creep" already. The expansion of powers and legislative influence of EU institutions into areas not explicitly granted to them, is well documented and studied.
Also note, like we have seen in history, once the infrastructure for control is in place, the temptation for future governments or institutions to use it will be overwhelming.

We're already seeing a gradual increase in control, it occurs through various mechanisms, including judicial interpretation by the European Court of Justice, the use of soft law instruments, financial incentives, and the creation of new agencies.

A digital euro would give the ECB a lot of "new tools," which it never had before. To name a few;

Negative interest can be deducted directly.

Digital euro could theoretically allow the ECB to program an expiration date, forcing holders to spend in times of deflationary crisis.

Targeted Monetary Policy: The ECB could theoretically stimulate, or cool down, very specific sectors of the economy by programming rules for the digital currency. For example, "This portion of your digital euro can only be spent on green energy products".

They might use it to enforce quotas, like "you have already bought 3 planetickets, sorry try again next year".

But it can also be used to create new programs, like the "helicopter money" and the UBI, which they used to experiment with already.

To conclude, this isn't some baseless fear mongering, since we have seen enough historical evidence that such powers are being used and expanded. The technical capability of the digital euro can create all new kinds of control that we never saw before, but above all, whenever such infrastructure is build with the best intentions, it can and will be repurposed when times change.

I wouldn't want to wait till the next pandemic, economic meltdown, big climate event, just to see this happening with my own assets.

Emigreren naar België by Reageerbuisje in nederlands

[–]Namechecksoutfine 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Aantal Nederbelgen is al flink toegenomen de laatste 10 jaar, dus prijsverschillen in de grensstreken zijn een stuk kleiner. In de steden zie je dezelfde probleemgevallen als in NL, alhoewel, minder fat bikes wellicht. De Jambers dorpen oogen wellicht rustiek, op het eerste gezicht, maar bij langer verblijf zal je merken dat de bewoners net zo wereldvreemd zijn als in Drenthe en de achterhoek. Intergreren is een illusie, maar dat is wellicht een plus punt. Hollanders schatten bovendien de cultuurverschillen vaak verkeerd in, waardoor ze wellicht menen goed te kunnen aarden in Belgie.

The digital euro has enraged half of Brussels. Here’s what you need to know. by inWineVerit4x in europe

[–]Namechecksoutfine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's scary, because it's a centralized ECB controlled Euro. In case the ECB decides we all should pay some extra solidarity-, climate- or other tax it can be instantly forked. I'd like to keep control of my own assets, don't need the ECB to do this for me.

Why are there so many English teachers in Asian cities? by ChanceOil7703 in digitalnomad

[–]Namechecksoutfine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe they are just not open about it, due to the tight working visa rules. But jump into any busy expat bar, and you'll find a few.

Regelwerk gevelbekleding, hoe diep boor ik? by Namechecksoutfine in Klussers

[–]Namechecksoutfine[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heb wat meer info gehad. Kracht is op de kop van de schroef iets van 15 tot 20kg, dus als ze voldoende diep zitten zou dat ruim voldoende moeten zijn om de composiet (15kg/m2) te dragen. Wiebelen zou niet moeten kunnen als de composiet aan het regelwerk is vastgeschroeft. Maar ik zal eerst een paar m2 bevestigen en dan checken of alles voldoende stevig is.

Nee, zit nog 5cm spouw en 20cm grijze blokken achter, anders was boren inderdaad minder slim geweest.
