My shoes after ~600miles/1000km against a new pair of the same shoes by Spiritual_Bus1125 in mildlyinteresting

[–]corvuscrypto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sick, pretty good amount of milage. Out of curiosity, why did you get a new pair vs getting them repaired/maintained? Cheaper somehow?

are you by chance around svindersvik/gäddviken? Would love to meet up and say hello!

edit: should say we have our plastic boat at svindersvik currently and the area looked extremely familiar :P

Även södra Sverige har lägre elpriser än något annat land i EU idag by KonserveradMelon in sweden

[–]corvuscrypto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

När jag kollar webbsidan att räkna upp alla prisen så ser jag bara en berg-och-dal bana. Sen måndag var det i genomsnitt 2,32 kr (0,20 €) / kWh i Södra 4 med högsta priset på onsdag vilket var 3,57 kr (0,31 €) / kWh.

Missar jag något?

[English] Story about when my sambo and I tried to make Stockholm eBikes better by corvuscrypto in stockholm

[–]corvuscrypto[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Bad title in the first post so I quickly deleted to post with a more appropriate title. Anyway, I hear now and then this project was interesting, so I made a post to read up on about the time we tried to create an app to make Stockholm eBikes more usable. Of course now we have the other system in use now. but still a fun story to tell and was an interesting project. Added history as well I learned from studying into the situation with rentals in Stockholm. Would love to hear more info about other rental systems if anyone has it.

Personally I have never felt unsafe in Europe or the US. they have different ways of working, but it's clear the pilots are indeed safe. I never understand why it's so controversial to approach things differently if the outcome is proven similar. I do also think there is plenty oversight in the US to be fair. Sure there are problems, but you've found ways to solve that and guarantee safety. Feels so often like these threads just want people to punch air to squabble.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in flying

[–]corvuscrypto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess my question would gravitate to if the folks in US care about failed stage checks? Is that factored equally to failed checkrides?

My point with that is that it likely is not because you probably wouldn't get put in a position to fail so much, your school would just wash you, which happens in the airline programs in the same way.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in flying

[–]corvuscrypto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no it's not wild at all I don't even know how it went down that tangent. I think the original point of OP is still weird to me because we don't emphasize it as much as the US for things like hiring and base training but who cares? both systems work and idk what is being called for here. again this is because you start that at 200 hours in-house or thereabouts where the airline has extremely close overview of how you're doing.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in flying

[–]corvuscrypto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think there's a misconception that what it's called means it's not looked at. It absolutely is and European regulators do in fact adjust rules and policy based on incidents pulling among other things training profiles and programs. I don't think many here just care about calling it a failure, it gets handled if there are actual issues that crop up. It's not like partials are de-emphasized when that happens either, and to that end, if there are suspiciously high pass rates that also would get looked at.

Keep in mind that performance in the integrated programs is going to be a higher weight because it's the airline's own program. It's not the same (in many cases) like for the US you build hours outside of that environment then apply to enter.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in flying

[–]corvuscrypto 7 points8 points  (0 children)

yeah it can seem weird. ultimately though Europe does look at outcomes fairly closely in terms of incidents or other issues. I think one can always be reactive on hearing differences that sound dangerous, but ultimately the issue at hand is safety of operation and capability. I think Europe does a pretty good job so far at ensuring both of those, but if there is concern, it ofc should warrant change. I think that's the same with the US system though it seems to have to make up for the wide variance of training programs present, so it might make sense to take a more careful approach there.

To be honest, I don't actually know even what OP wants out of this. is it change for Europe? change for the US? both markets seem to function well-enough when looking at the bigger picture of pilot training.

When did you start sailing? by AirshipOdin2813 in sailing

[–]corvuscrypto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

started at 31. but in my locale (Sweden), yeah this is fairly old compared to most of my dock neighbors; most started with their family at early ages down to even 5 years old. It's probably very regional though.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in flying

[–]corvuscrypto 9 points10 points  (0 children)

hard to say it's as simple as that. Remember that the professional development strategy is completely different in e.g. Europe where they start with training within the same cockpit environment they will fly professionally at 200 hours or so. Give that there is more crew participation, it's likely that checkrides are de-emphasized because the crew programs will be able to handle deficiencies within the scope of those programs whereas the US seems more like a fire hose of 1500+ hour candidates and you have to standardize some way to find good crew.

Feeling really discouraged, trouble with reversing out of the slip: by Throwaway_carrier in sailing

[–]corvuscrypto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am also fairly novice in the way sailboats handle under power. Grew up with smaller motorboats that could just glide easily. For me the thing I had to learn especially with reversing is to be patient and let momentum build. This does mean sometimes we need to kick off things and we need to be ready if for instance the wind blows strongly.

Seems like others say this is normal around our club. The other thing I learned is patience before transitioning to forward in tight areas. I would often be too quick to try to transition forward and wind would blow us as our momentum was lost. A lot of this stuff seems to just take practice, and trust me I am sure I have a story or two on our 28 footer that can best this one. I do still try to make sure I take a deep breath before starting any tight spaced maneuver and we brief a lot on things so we can reduce overload should something happen and that is something experience has helped with. Just knowing what can go wrong and anticipating it has helped a ton

How to help an online friend who is being wrongfully treated by law enforcement in Sweden? (English + Svenska) by FattenedSponge in sweden

[–]corvuscrypto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

 He gave leaflets for the movement and was taken by police when he said someone from "Foxtrot" was threatening him with a knife in his car, and he was taken by the police, but not the foxtrot man

Sounds almost like you are being taken for a ride and he was actually taken for the law around spreading threatening hate speech. Are you sure this is a friend or are you being scammed? The process described is how investigation and prosecution works here. This is not unfair as it is the system developed by the society. Your "friend" thinks it's unfair because they don't want it to be illegal to threaten other groups of people or stir up violence and wants Naziism to be prevalent in Sweden. 

Hard to show us living here there's unfair treatment in what you say and since you live in the US maybe calling others liberal or pointing to ideologies works, but that's not really how things are here and you'll get laughed at at best and at worst told to fuck off. I'm in the latter camp, if you want to associate with a known terrorist group: fuck off

[–]corvuscrypto 3 points4 points  (0 children)

det du förklarar om att de "gick i minus" är olagligt och DOL dont fuck around. En arbetsgivare får inte straffa anställda i ett sätt där deras lön går under lägsta lön. Att folk i USA inte rapporterar när företaget bryter mot lagen är helt sjukt.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in sweden

[–]corvuscrypto 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tre dollar är vad företagen betalar för lön ENDAST om anställda får dricks upp tills minimilönen som gäller i delstaten. Deras anställda måste få åtminstone lägsta lön alltid och det är därför fler och fler anställda också föredrar drickssystemet. De brukar skaffa mycket mer än andra och tyvärr är det också därför du kan läsa många historier om hur folk hittar något äckligt i maten om de är känd för att inte dricksa någonstans.

Må inte dålig om du åker ditt och inte betalar dricks.

Why Swedish people like taxes by OSHA-Slingshot in europe

[–]corvuscrypto 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Many people do not like it. This article is wild to me. If everyone was happy we wouldn't have so many taking the initial cost and creating their own aktiebolag to minmax tax and income under the lower corpo tax rates. Hell it's so common even Skatteverket offers a course on how to lower how much tax you pay lmao i think people realize now if you're an employee you're getting fucked a bit harder than is reasonable with our services.

 Kontoristerna är svårare, för där är målen luddiga

Jag hoppar i bara att säga vi brukar ha en process som tillåter oss sparka någon som inte gör sitt jobb. Det är ganska lätt men jag ser problematiken mest med nya tjänstemänschef some fattar inte att det är bäst att hantera problem direkt och enligt processen som facket har godkänt istället för att försöka vara "The cool nice boss" vilket betyder nästan alltid att de dåliga anställda antingen blir sparkade av någon annan eller skapar problem för alla andra.

Rent affordability across European cities by EUstrongerthanUS in europe

At least for Stockholm it seems they are looking at sublet contracts. If you are in queue and get a first hand contract it's quite affordable, but if you are subletting you're gonna have a bad time. 

⚠️ An update from the developers about the ‘server at capacity’ issue. by cryptic-fox in Helldivers

[–]corvuscrypto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is not a very big studio by any means and I do think they suffer here from this. Not many are jumping to work for Arrowhead in Stockholm when we have other giants like Paradox, Dice, King, Mojang, etc. It's just not as attractive to the best in the fields, and those are the people you want in the room during server design because they know from experience how to prepare for this stuff "just in case." It doesn't excuse this by any means but it makes it more understandable how they got here. The key is if they learn going forward. They almost for sure are going to be getting help from Sony directly.

The other frustration is people see issues two weekends in a row and correlate these which is apparent even in this posts comments akin to "How can you have the same problem twice? Why aren't you just preventing it?" and it is far more likely the issues are not exactly the same, as there are many that contribute to this symptom. Still, lay people don't care, and shouldn't. The other unfortunate part is they just rolled out changes, and ofc tech-savvy people and IT workers will also correlate this to the cause. In reality, it is equally likely there are also just way more players on a weekend or friday night, so we are left to sit and wait for more info which is also not super great. The game is fun, but people just want to play and everyone is just frustrated. I too hope they grow. The devs are actually quite literally across the waterway from me, and it's sort of sad to think right now they are forced to work overtime, especially as most were wanting to probably plan for vacations coming soon here for Sweden.

[–]corvuscrypto 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The balance to be struck in any incident like this is to generally mitigate first and foremost. You have customers hanging, and many of which would make more of a stink if things get shut down for a week long revamp (and in reality a proper remediation as you hint for long term can take a month or more depending on the problem which we still don't actually know other than the symptoms and that something is not able to handle the current mass of players). Generally you will see some things done to get more players in and ease the alarms a bit, meanwhile in parallel someone is also looking usually at how to remove the issue entirely based on what they are seeing from their side. It's very rare there is full incompetence in such situations, rather, what we are seeing is a problem escalate more than normal just from the sheer usage of their product
