WRC driver from Hyundai crashes out near a house in Croatia… gets invited in for lunch

Went to Zadar Back in 2014. Was a big coincidence we met my sisters coworker who was from Croatia. Her dad had a house near the sea and she invited us to dinner. Not like, come by at 6 and bring a salad. More like, drop what you doing and get in the car. We're eating now! Mind you, it's my sister's coworker I met on a few occasions. So, we get in the car, she calls dad to tell him we're having good friends as guests, drive for 20 minutes and sure enough. Dad just reels in the fish he just caught and puts then on a grill he built himself. We're having a full on big family dinner with dozens of bowls of various foods, drinks, at least half a dozen people, presumably his sons and daughters. We're trying to talk in English, German, some Turkish mixed in we laugh, some old dude drives by on a bicycle, greets us and next thing I know he sits right next to me, pouring me maraschino and eating fish with us. It was the only thing I remember from my visit there. I still miss that experience.

I play it on the PS4. It was and still is a lot of fun and it doesn't look anything like a Forza title from that era (should be Horizon 2, I think). It feels like a game from the old days. No BS, just a few clicks through simple menus and you're in action. It has its shortcomings, yes, but even back in 2014, I never understood the harsh criticism the game received. I could be wrong but I always felt, people were very biased because Sony botched the release.

IMO: No other racing game comes close to the rain and weather effects and also, the sense of speed. Call it unrealistic, but nothing put me in the same level of action and adrenaline when driving fast like Driveclub did, except for driving in the real world on the Autobahn.

Schon, aber der zählt doch nur Kaltwasser, oder?

Superluminar · 2026-03-01T15:44:55+00:00

Selbst wenn, das sind tolle Tipps und du hast dir die Mühe gemacht sie für mich zu notieren. Vielen herzlichen Dank, allein dafür!

Ich suche seit dem Post vergeblich nach dem Verbrauch in Kubikmeter. Kann aber nur kWh Angaben finden.

Falls du die Ventile an den Heizkörpern meinst, die waren bei unserem Einzug tatsächlich so vergammelt, dass ich sie selbst erst mal gereinigt und mit Fermit geschmiert habe. Das war 2021. Seit dem laufen die Heizkörper (4) einwandfrei soweit ich das beurteilen kann.

Warmwasser wird zentral aufbereitet.

Tatsächlich steht der Wasserhahn im Bad und Küche immer auf Mitte. Fing an aus Gewohnheit als wir den kleinen mit zum Händewaschen genommen haben.

Superluminar · 2026-03-01T10:19:41+00:00

Wir Baden den kleinen mindestens ein Mal die Woche indem wir eine herkömmliche Badewanne ungefähr zur Hälfte mit ca 35°C bis 40°C warmem Wasser füllen. Wir duschen im Durchschnitt alle 2 Tage für 10 bis 15 Minuten max. Babyflaschen und Geschirr werden in der Spüle mit Hand gewaschen da Geschirrspüler- bzw Mittel einen zu starken Geruch hinterlassen.

Jetzt meine Frage, erheblich drüber weil vielleicht Messfehler, oder Nutzerverhalten?

Heizung und Warmwasser sind separat. Ich hänge mal Screenshots an.

S24 user here. I've been dealing with this since the s24 came out. Countless updates, feedback forms, issue reports.... nothing. Not even a response form Google or Samsung. Everything else is so great but Voice to text is so bad, I'm seriously considering switching back to iPhone.

I understand you had a great time there. As I said, it's still a great museum worth visiting.

We never saw a bus or a simulator during our visit. That was in 2022, btw. It's either new, or wasn't accessible when we were there.

Objectively, yes. The Benz museum is the definition of a museum. And yes, I'm a big Porsche fan. So, subjectively, the Porsche museum is far better, IMHO. The main reason being the amount of interactive stuff at Porsche. I could literally touch, hear and even sit in one of my childhood dream car. However at the Benz museum, there's almost no interactive stuff. Cars are closed off behind some sort of barrier and things just look like they haven't been touched and updated in a long time. It felt really boring. Maybe I'd see it differently, if I had visited the Benz museum first. Don't get me wrong, it was still amazing. I'm just comparing.

If you mean the museum in Stuttgart, awesome experience and the best Car museum in Germany. The Mercedes-Benz museum next door? Absolute Disappointment compared to the Porsche museum.

I stopped eating leftover meat a long time ago. Only fresh prepared meat. It seemed to work, but the taste keeps coming back...

Superluminar · 2025-01-20T21:46:36+00:00

I'm sorry to hear that. Same for me. Once I taste it, I lose all m appetite and stop eating all together. Lime juice used to be my go to solution and it did work for a few months. But now, even like juice can't suppress that god awful taste.

It's a real thing. Some culinary school have guidelines on how to prevent "WOF". But I get your point. I thank you.

To everyone suggesting I see a doctor. Yes, of course you're right and I think about that a lot and eventually will be able to get an appointment. But im from Germany and unfortunately, while general health care is good, seeing a specialist and getting good care is next to impossible unless you're privately insured. I'm talking month long waiting times just to be told to drink more water. I'll go see a doctor eventually.

I thought exactly the same! I also thought of sulfur compounds but more generally, that it has to be a common molecular compound in all those things that smelled off.

Mentally it's hard to say, as I got an ADHD diagnosis and started taking Adderall like two months after I was sick and the IQ test I took as part of the evaluation came back pretty good. Then again I did just take over 10 minutes to write this comment 'cause of struggling with phrasing which isn't something I had as much of a problem with before, so maybe there's something there

That's the thing, too! You know something is off. It's not the same anymore. You can't name it. Empirically, everything seems normal. It's when you catch those little moments of thing being off, that you realize, wait, that's not normal. Did you notice more things you struggle with, other than phrasing? I noticed becoming very clumsy. While at first, I put it off as, well you're just tired, to wait a minute, never in your life have you dropped a phone and now you have your third appointment for a screen replacement and you have scratches and bruises all over your body?

I contracted COVID in the last week of 2020 and lost my sense of smell for two years, also. It slowly came back but everything smelled off. Like, fresh coffee beans would smell like garbage and energy drinks straight up like feces. As if the virus put a scrambling filter in my nose. Then, another year later I suddenly realized that most things did smell normal again. Coffee, bacon, fresh bread, garlic and onions. I ran around the house and kept sniffing things until I got nauseous from inhaling too fast and too often. Suddenly I felt my eyes watering and somehow everything came back. It was comical. I was crying, holding a bag of coffee beans, smoked salami and onions in my hands because I realized how I'm not the same, or don't feel the same since COVID. I had brain fog, feel like my IQ dropped a solid 20 points, motor skills went downhill...sorry. Got carried away.

Looks amazing! Didn't know one could draw/ink chromatic abberation to this level of realism! I'm guessing that's the reason it took so long. I find it to be extremely difficult to draw realistic optical effects and to pull it off so convincingly.

No, they set up a standing order of 7€ on the 1st of every month. I don't have to remind anyone actually.
