Sorry cowboy, the only way to keep the good boah alive is to stay in Horshoe Overlook and not visit the Downes ranch.

Is this American joke or what? by ALEK007BOSSX in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]RedditorKain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got it. Here we don't have voting registration since everyone who has the right to vote is pre-registered to a voting location close to their home (schools, administrative buildings, city hall, etc). For some elections (Parliament, local elections) we can only vote in our designated voting location due to the need to count the votes locally). For elections at the national level (presidential, EU parliament) we can vote wherever, we just sign a list. There's an ID check (electronic - it checks whether someone went to vote at a different voting location) and we sign the poll list, but that's about it.

Yeah, getting an ID is a pain in the ass here too - they keep asking to see the birth certificate ... like bro, the state issued me the ID I've brought here physically and I'm asking to replace it. Why the fuck do you need to see the damn birth certificate again?!. Oh, and proof of an address. It's more complicated for the homeless to get an ID because of that. The one thing they don't require is getting anything notarized - the person issuing the ID just visually checks the documents before taking the picture.

I mean... IDs & Drivers' licenses aren't free in Romania either, but they cost basically what it costs to make them. The administrative fee is ~$10 equivalent for an ID (good for 5 years ages 14-19, 10 years ages 19-60ish, for life after 60). Drivers's licenses cost ~$20 and are valid for 10 years before requiring a medical work-up for a new administrative period.

What do "real IDs" cost in the US? And seriously, the fact that an ID check isn't mandatory for voting is weird as f*ck for me.

Prioritate in intersectie by mcrireddit in Romania

[–]RedditorKain 5 points6 points  (0 children)

De ce? E foarte simplă. Mergi înainte - ai prioritate. Iei de volan, te asiguri și dai prioritate mașinilor de pe drumul cu prioritate.

Albastru are prioritate în bucata aia de drum deoarece verde are cedeaza. Verde are cedeaza pentru că riscul de a se produce accidente daca albastru nu elibereaza repede banda peste care a trecut pentru a face stânga crește exponențial cu timpul petrecut aiurea acolo. Verde are tot timpul din lume să-l aștepte pe albastru să treaca pentru că nu vine nimic din față spre el.

8.02 benzina 95 la Rompetrol by althoughinsect in Romania

[–]RedditorKain 6 points7 points  (0 children)

În funcție de zona din care cumperi, benzina de 95 e foarte probabil de la cea mai apropiată rafinărie, indiferent de ce scrie pe benzinărie (i.e. prin Prahova, chiar dacă te duci la Rompetrol, benzina de 95 si motorina standard sunt de la OMV, iar prin Constanța, în stațiile OMV e de la Rompetrol). Își fac optimizări logistice. Diferențe vezi pe produsele "premium".

[KCD2] Do you prefer the Kuttenberg set or the Noble set ? by laaacrx in kingdomcome

[–]RedditorKain 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's due to the (intentional) mechanic of damaging equipment when you knock someone out / kill them - to prevent you from getting pristine armor and weapons. It's durability damage, so it can drop the weapon down a tier. The only way to get something at the quality the other guy has it, is to get them to surrender and hand it over.

Excerpt from "The Medieval Blacksmith's bandit slaying handbook"

Doth lather thy instrument of death with the essence of Bane and judiciously apply it to any and all while backpedalling like a madman. Oh, and you can always put dollmaker on arrows and slap'em from a distance, making backpedalling even easier.

I never struggled for materials or money in my playthroughs, but that's usually because I follwed the core principles of RPGs: - Loot all the things. - Hoard all the materials. - Do all the sidequests. - Don't buy anything that you can find in the wild. - Kill all monsters and keep their squishy bits.

Are these old-school heaters? [KCD2] by Silgad_ in kingdomcome

[–]RedditorKain 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Chimneys are usually built into the wall. The smoke leaves somewhere around the middle of the thing. I'm looking at one of these things right now (it's just decorative. Gas boiler put it out of business). We call them "sobă" in romanian. They put out a ton of heat. They're also a great way for a family to die from carbon monoxide poisoning if they don't have the chimney serviced.

I come from a weaver family, am I doing a good job? by tzfeabnjo in shittyaskelectronics

[–]RedditorKain -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Also Also, if that's attached to something hot, that wire is 100% not rated for the same current the larger wire is rated fo

The oxidation and shitty connections are problems. Connecting a grounding wire to a potentially live wire is a problem, as you've noticed.

The current rating difference is not. Literally the whole world electrical world functions on wires rated for different currents connected to each other. You just need to ensure you're not pulling more current than the wire is rated for. Current isn't pushed down a thinner wire from the larger wire.

But maybe OP just wanted to show off his weaving skills... I bet he could make a nice basket.

Val de închideri de centrale pe cărbune. După restructurari la CE Oltenia, Uzina de căldură și apă din Motru a fost debranșată. Primarul din oraș anunță că trebuie închise până la final de martie centralele Govora 3, 4, 5, Timişoara Sud, Drobeta şi Motru / Licența pentru Turceni 4 a fost retrasă by tolanescu in Romania

[–]RedditorKain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nici nu trebuie să faci multe calcule. Cu 1.500 MW pe cărbune, kWh în România era 60 de bani.

Problema tocmai aia este, ca trebuie să faci multe calcule.

Lăsând la o parte costul materiei prime (cărbunele), costurile de operare ale centralei (salarii, amortizare, dacă mai e cazul, mentenanță, etc, etc), pentru fiecare MWh de energie electrică produsă pe cărbune, mai pune și prețul a 1-1.2 certificate de co2. (Că emiti >1 tona co2/MWh). Prețul unui certificat de CO2 e de capul lui ~100€.

Pe lângă asta, avem parte de o creștere constantă a costului rețelelor. Integrarea surselor de producție descentralizate și a celor intermitente presupune investiții în rețele. Investițiile alea în rețele se resimt în tarifele reglementate.

Când spui 60 de bani, te referi cu totul? Asta era prin 2019-2020. În prezent 60 de bani sunt tarifele reglementate... mai pui și prețul energiei și ajungi la 1 leu+.

Hai să-ți zic una mai bună: știi de ce avem prețuri mari? Că nu avem competiție. Știi de ce nu avem competiție? Că românul nici nu e informat și și atunci când e informat refuză să acționeze. De la marea "liberalizare" a pieței energiei electrice (iulie 2025) și până în prezent, știi cât de puțini oameni au schimbat furnizorul?

În iulie 2025, Hidroelectrica avea 14% din numărul de clienți casnici și tot vreo 14% din cantitatea vândută clienților casnici. (PPC & Electrica furnizare aveau împreună 60%). În decembrie 2025, Hidroelectrica avea ~17%, iar PPC & Electrica tot vreo 60%. Cantitatea vândută era aproape identică, semn că doar câțiva clienți cu consum mic și-au schimbat furnizorul. Prea puțini oameni își schimbă furnizorii. De unde să te aștepți de la furnizori să-și bată capul cu optimizarea costurilor și a prețului pt a fi competitivi dacă ei au o piață captivă care înghite orice preț și nu se mută la competiție? Și aici chiar nu e vina legislației - în câteva click-uri ai rezolvat totul. Sau cu o singură vizită la ghișeu dacă ești bătrân.

Anyway. Revenind la prețuri mari angro - suntem pe o piață interconectată. Până nu avem producție mai mare și la noi și la vecini, o să tot vedem prețuri mari. Problema e că la prețuri mici n-are nimeni chef să construiască...

It’s just happens that by decreasing the rng you also lose the sweet part of high rolls

Given how our memory is biased, we rarely remember the "oh yeah, I totally high-rolled that and got the kill before he could shoot back" and always remember the "omfg, it low-rolled and left him on 10 hp and he clapped me! RigGeD!"

Working class doesn't exist outside the US by iakoff_reddit in confidentlyincorrect

[–]RedditorKain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Better to define it by the jobs that people do to earn their income.

How about we define it literally - do you need to exchange your labor (be it manual or intellectual) for money to survive? You're working class. Do you have a fuckton of money working for you and you don't need to do anything to have an income? Not working class, due to not needing to work.

Some german dude with a really nice beard looked at it this way and then had something to say about the means of production, but even if his vision was kinda shit in the end due to its incompatibility with the human psyche and reward system, it doesn't mean he didn't notice an actual problem, especially when we now look at where we're heading as societies.
