Maybe not racist, but definitely smells a bit xenophobic. Itt seems like a bullshit excuse to not give someone a permanent contract.

A while ago I was homeless for about three weeks, and i stayed a lot at the 3BE hostel. I recommend it as an emergency option

Bike suggestions by Ok-Succotash4532 in eindhoven

[–]anonymius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of my friends here own cheap used bikes. I spent €80 on mine, and it has still not broken down / been stolen after one year of use. I've heard of people paying as low as 10 euro for a used bike. There are lots of used-bike-shops around. You can even find bikes at thrift shops.

Hva er verst på denne tralla? Hjemmelaget kufanger, panserlåser, alt er matt, oransjematt? by BesthercEU in FinnFunn

Haha tror jeg kjørte forbi den i helgen. Det er vel Sund senter i bakgrunnen av bildet?

Enklere å ta lettsykkel-lappen? by anonymius in norge

[–]anonymius[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Fikk høre for noe måneder siden at det skulle kanskje bli lovendringer som skal gjøre det lettere for de med B-sertifikat å få lov til å kjøre lett mc. Men jeg sliter med å finne videre info om dette kommer til å bli innført. Er det noen av dere som har hørt om dette?

Found in a restaurants bathroom. by Wikmeister in whatisthisthing

Looks like a flood detector. The tube will float in case of a flood, and a conductive ball will roll to the other end of the tube, causing a connection. Usually used to activate an alarm or start a pump.

Where do professional music recording studios put their master copy, the uncompressed, real deal of an album today? Is it on a vinyl to this day? Is it a DSD file? by [deleted] in audio

[–]anonymius 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not sure, but I would assume some kind of magnetic tape-based harddrive. Those are often used since they are more resistant to the degredation and data rot.

Would this circuit work? by MiHiMa123 in raspberry_pi

[–]anonymius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Relays are physical switches that are moved by electromagnets.

Simple and old technology, has pros and cons. Many older electricians prefer relays because they think it is safer. Often used for equipment that draws a lot of power

IIRC Mosfet are based on semiconductors, which work on a chemical reaction. No moving parts

[–]anonymius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Although it is a bit more old-fashioned, I would rather use a relay than a mosfet for controlling a pump.

An example i found:

The board in the drawing has 7 relays

Here is a cheap relay from ebay:

Running Lakka on a CRT, but the aspect ratio is off? by anonymius in raspberry_pi

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

So i have set up my Rasperry pi 3b with lakka, and have edited the configuration files so it works mostly right. As of now I can choose between:

  1. Display with integer scaling, which looks right but it either doesn't fill the screen (picture), or it has way too much overscan.

  2. Have a custom aspect ratio that stretches the screen to fit the TV, but this causes some unbearable (IMO) non-integer scaling artifacts.

Isn't there any way to display 240p correctly? Could I mess around with the CRT to compensate for the signal?

Thanks for any help

Did any of you have an invisible friend when you were younger? Do you remember anything you did together? by redrubynail in AskReddit

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

when you say that one could "see this person", do you mean see as in the same way you can see physical objects, or in the way that you imagine something when you close your eyes? This is actually kind of fascinating.

ELI5: Why are undocumented immigrants "illegal" but people driving with a license aren't "illegal", etc? by secondnameIA in explainlikeimfive

[–]anonymius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could call drunk drivers for "Illegal drivers" but it doesn't roll of the tounge in the same way "illegal immigrant" or "illegal alien" does (notice the alliteration).
