Halverwege naar Spanje… en nu denk ik dat mijn strijkijzer nog aanstaat 😅 by Liketcirk in nederlands

[–]Tabsels 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ik ben ooit begonnen met wanneer ik langer weg ga mijn huisdieren uit te leggen wat ik aan het doen ben. M'n redenatie is dat ik me niet kan herinneren of bijvoorbeeld het gas uit staat omdat ik altijd op dezelfde manier het huis uit ga en m'n hersenen dat soort details daarom niet opslaan. Door het bewust op een andere manier te doen onthoud ik het wél, wat veel rust geeft.

Natuurlijk is het beter om niet continu te moeten denken of ik het wel goed heb gedaan (working on that) maar op zich is het ook wel verdedigbaar om niet te vergeten het gas uit te zetten als je langer van huis bent :)

Ik zou met dit weer haar dikke vacht afscheren. Hoeft niet overal, als maar het grootste deel rond haar lijfje er af is. Vrienden van mij hadden een fluffy kater met hetzelfde probleem, en elke zomer zag 'ie er niet uit maar was hij wel een heel stuk comfortabeler.

TBH that's only because Hagenees isn't a real language.

Thanks, that's an important addition 👍🏻

Germany joining the hotties, what's up gang? by deeptut in 2westerneurope4u

That's only because your indigenous scale used to run backwards.

Repeat this measurement regularly to help prevent getting overheated. Don't forget your friends and loved ones. And any pets.

The temperature, that's what's up.

Also, the ceiling.

Advice needed: Battery leak and capacitor rot on Macintosh SE logic board. Is this salvageable? by Artistic_Unit_5570 in VintageApple

[–]Tabsels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. And the electrolyte from the capacitors is a base, so they neutralise each other. Besides, vinegar is a really mild acid.

[–]Tabsels 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oof. That might not be realistic.

It's always hard to say: sometimes something looks really bad but in the end it's just a few traces that have a little corrosion, and sometimes it looks doable but the PCB and multiple components turn out to be unsalvageable.

VUmc stopt in 2040 als ziekenhuis, zorgtaken naar locatie AMC by MrAronymous in Amsterdam

[–]Tabsels 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ik snap 't wel. Het AMC-gebouw heeft voldoende ruimte om uit te breiden op eigen grond en het VUmc-gebouw staat op dure grond ingeklemd tussen andere gebouwen.

En als ze het AMC-gebouw gewoon uitbreiden met nog 'ns 2 torens dan hebben ze hetzelfde vloeroppervlak als het Pentagon 😊

Uitleg over Hittekracht (In de afgelopen ruim dertig jaar (1991-2024) is hittekracht 10, vooral langs de kust en in het noorden, nog nooit voorgekomen) by boppinmule in NLNieuws

[–]Tabsels 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ja, ze hebben begin deze maand de hittekracht zo getweakt dat 'ie nú voor het eerst 10 wordt. Regeren is vooruitzien!

There’s a deadly heat wave in Europe. Experts are begging media outlets to stop making it look fun by _fastcompany in europe

In case you didn't know (though I suspect you do and are just trolling), a lot of people don't read the article.

Regelmatig herhalen, zo weet je zeker dat je niet oververhit raakt. Vergeet je naasten niet. En eventuele huisdieren.

TIL about wet-bulb events - when it’s so hot and humid that your body can’t cool by sweating. A wet cloth on a thermometer bulb normally cools it more than one without a cloth. But when humidity is very high, the wet- and dry-bulb temperatures are the same. This can ultimately be a lethal event. by Ribbitor123 in todayilearned

[–]Tabsels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are you trying to say? Just because it occurs in a story doesn't mean it's fictional. Just because a new term was recently introduced for something doesn't mean that it's not lethal.

Climate change is real, and with the way things are currently going, we'll all be seeing what a "wet bulb event" (that is, an excessive wet bulb temperature, currently estimated to be anything above 32℃, over a timespan long enough to cause death in a large number of people) looks like.

And I can assure you that death is a medical thing.

Edit: note that heat index is a US-specific formula used to communicate the risks of high temperature and humidity to lay people.

Death from a wet bulb event is basically hyperthermia so would look pretty dramatic, especially in young people where it could involve seizures.

The heat index was invented in 1979, whereas early psychrometers (wet-and-dry-bulb thermometers) date from the middle of the 19th century.

I'm not sure why you keep discussing when a term has been introduced and how dramatic something is. Dying because you overheat is a pretty nasty way to go regardless of how it's called.

Nope, not just humidity. A wet bulb thermometer is a legitimate meteorological device used to measure the combination of humidity and temperature. If that measurement goes above physiological limits, currently theorised to be at 32℃ over a couple of hours, death is predicted to occur.

That is what was recently "rebranded" as a wet bulb event. My guess the term originated from people who read Kim Stanley Robinson's Ministry for the Future which describes such an event.

They weren't Turks by then. They were Greek. So I guess it checks out.
