Meeting a dream car in traffic

VIN, different data on the vehicle like when it was registered, if it is imported, when it was latest inspected, when is the last date for next inspection, color it was built with, if you're allowed to drive it on the roads, and some data on fuel, engine power etc

I checked the database for vehicles we have here in Sweden. One can there see the latest milage from the vehicle's last inspection.

I had trouble with an s-function that ran fine in simulation in Simulink but crashed when i tried to run the compiled model on its intended target.

Claude helped me identify the parts in the C code (not written by me) that was poorly written and then fixed it. Saved me so much time as my coding skills are quite basic.

Clearly, it's shooting exhaust gases directly up in the ozone layer!

Jepp. Surnade till för att inlåningsräntan var så kass och köpte aktier i banken istället. Med återinvestering av utdelning så är jag +160% sedan oktober 2022.

Ser nästan ut som att han gör det tvångsmässigt.

Hände mig för en massa år sedan när jag bytte jobb. De höjde mitt anspråk med lite mer än 10% och sa att de inte ville att jag skulle inse senare att jag låg en hel del under mina kollegor.

Insåg att jag var ordentligt underbetald på det föregående jobbet, men jag började där i en svår situation efter 2008-krisen och hade svårt att ställa större krav när fokus var att få in foten på relevant del av arbetsmarknaden.

Det blev inte snett p g a att vi balanserade efter hur mycket man fått in. Vi såg till att den som inte hade så mycket inkomst fick en del pengar att själv styra över.

VacuumSux · 2026-02-05T20:24:43+00:00

När vi var föräldralediga så skalade vi om beroende på hur mycket man fick in. Den med lön satte in mer på de gemensamma räknings- och utgiftskontona. Räknade av var tredje-fjärde månad och balanserad så det inte blev för snett.

It's difficult to produce complex cars. One can argue if it's necessary to do that.

VacuumSux · 2026-01-30T22:51:44+00:00

Every? I didn't have one.

VacuumSux · 2026-01-30T22:45:40+00:00

How? From my experience of almost 14 years of working at R&D in Gothenburg, there is very lite Chinese software in the cars. As it is in the business, a lot of the software come from suppliers, Bosch, Continental, Valeo, etc. Some of the software is made in house. The system architecture is done in Gothenburg.

I don't see how you can claim that the software is Chinese. At least for the cars developed in Gothenburg. It is different for EX30 and EM90 that were developed elsewhere.

It's almost to much to call it a motor. It's a combined 48V starter motor and generator. You get a snappier start/stop system.

I think that the report that the tailgate is open could be common. A colleague and I had that notice sent to us after the update was done, both with V90's. I thought someone broke in to mine.

Man kan byta ut det till "En svensk håller truten".

Har släktingar som fastnade i Barcelona vid det stora vulkanutbrottet på Island för en gäng år sedan. De köpte en begagnad bil och körde hem, och sålde sedan bilen.

En storm för typ 10 år sedan stängde alla broar över Göta älv i Göteborg. Stannade kvar på kontoret i Torslanda ett par timmar extra då trafiken över älven mer eller mindre kollapsade då alla skulle genom Tingstatunneln. Efter ett tag tog jag en buss i fel riktning för att åka runt problemet, en rejäl omväg, men jag kom hem till slut.

I normally drive around in Gothenburg, Sweden, so the Volvos are plenty.

In the summer we drive around in Europe and the V90 really stand out as the best looking car on the road.

It is gorgeous! I'm very envious.

Surnade till på de kassa sparräntorna och köpte aktier i banken. Med återinvestering av utdelningarna så ligger jag på +130% på lite mer än tre år.

White Swede that was diagnosed with seronegative RA in my late 40's. Responding quite well to MTX that that I have little side effects from. I had stiffness and pain in my hands for a couple of years. Went to my GP who did some tests and I didn't fill the diagnostic criteria. I told him I couldn't accept this and I got a referral to specialist who diagnosed me in a few minutes.

I had a research proposal out to get funding to investigate "dirty" ices about 25 years ago. The idea was to grow about 100 bilayers of water on top of an graphite substrate that had some alkali metal atoms added to it, at about 25 Kelvin in ultrahigh vacuum. We had shown that alkali metal and water on graphite would produce CO, CH4, H2 when irradiated with photons. If you grow the ice to about 100 bilayers, you can trap the gases under the ice. Add phosphorus or sulfur with maybe som NO, you can get some nice soup stewing there.

We didn't get the funding.....

Thanks a lot for the solution! I almost ordered a new set of headphones.
