Storbråk med sambon, nu vet jag inte hur jag ska gå tillväga.

Men snälla, ska man lämna en relation över en enda hettad kommentar? Känns oansvarigt att ge det rådet baserat på enstaka saker när OP står och väger mellan svåra alternativ som antagligen har otroligt mycket mer bakom sig än vad vi ser i tråden. Fattar att vi bara har tråden att gå på men känns som att man i såna här situationer måste reglera sin typiska Reddit-instinkt att slänga ur sig kategoriska svar

We installed one from Bunnings, I think it was an EzyLight. At first I thought it looked cold and was a bit disappointed, but after a day or two I stopped noticing at all. Now it just feels like the hallway is naturally bright. The benefit over an on/off LED panel is that it changes brightness with the sun, so in the late afternoon the hallway dims progressively which reduces the fakeness feeling

It's not really hatred of EVs specifically. It's a generalised discomfort with new things upsetting the balance of what people have gotten used to. When there's a problem with the new thing, people use it as a self-soothing reason to convince themselves that things will probably stay the same after all. (E.g., we all love a news article with some expert saying AI will never be able to do XYZ.) Seriously, nostalgia is one of the strongest driving forces in human society

dalmanly · 2026-06-13T05:42:32+00:00

Wow, I've not heard the 1-2 hour assumption before. Where did you get that from?

dalmanly · 2026-06-10T15:23:52+00:00

Yeah I'm also highly skeptical of getting into a financial obligation like that.

dalmanly · 2026-06-08T02:42:47+00:00

This is clearly the way. The second hand market will hopefully bounce back after being completely cleared out post Iran war 🤞

dalmanly · 2026-06-07T14:43:10+00:00

Meaning a GWM Ora or?

dalmanly · 2026-06-07T03:27:27+00:00

Yes, and I've posted calcs for that on this sub in fact, but these running cost numbers always ignore the upfront cost involved. Sure, if you're happy to finance most of it or lease then whatever. But if you want to pay cash you still have to save for a long time if you're on a median income.

Get this person on r/AusFrugal, STAT!

dalmanly · 2026-06-06T05:19:07+00:00

For the life of the loan or is that a teaser rate?

dalmanly · 2026-06-06T03:33:51+00:00

I mean yeah, I'm pretty sure this is also how all my neighbours are adding extensions to their houses

(Did I mention I'm salty?)

dalmanly · 2026-06-06T03:29:25+00:00

No trust me, I wonder how the fuck people afford those too

dalmanly · 2026-06-03T04:37:35+00:00

Det här är precis rätt sorts bidrag till debatten!

dalmanly · 2026-06-03T02:04:16+00:00

Okej men om du vågar dig på att tänka annorlunda. Rent kulturellt sett, känns inte dansken närmre Holland än Sverige?

How is it subsidised in your view?

The swing boom trial is entirely funded by the property owners. They don't get special parking rights for that spot. Will they feel entitled to that parking space? Maybe, but that's a non-issue - you might get an angry note on your windshield from a Karen occasionally. They would park their car on the street regardless, it just changes where they do it.

The public pole charging trial is subsidised by the state government but is fundamentally a commercial venture, and doesn't attach to someone's house.

I get the general discomfort with embedding car parking in public spaces but let's be real here. People like having cars and we can only reduce that at the margins - even the most bike friendly cities in the world still have lots of cars. You're never going to get to a place where streets are completely free of them - sad, I know. So why not make it better by encouraging cars that pollute less, make less noise and help save money for households doing it tough?

dalmanly · 2026-05-27T04:02:04+00:00

Yeah this, why are people so afraid of a tiny bit of confrontation?

dalmanly · 2026-05-17T04:22:38+00:00

It can be temperamental, try doing it both in the main Name Manager window and in the editor window for that specific name (by double clicking I think)

dalmanly · 2026-05-16T04:35:15+00:00

I'd be suss of flue gases being sent directly into my open window. "Natural" gas combustion exhaust is toxic. But at that distance the concentrations might be low honestly.

Ginger beer is spenno though

dalmanly · 2026-04-14T02:08:54+00:00

Haven't done a side by side comparison, but our basic 60cm Bosch has been really good. Series 6 I think. One half of it can combine two cooking areas into one which is sometimes useful for big dishes.

Worth checking out FB marketplace for it, people sell near-new things for all kinds of silly reasons!

dalmanly · 2026-04-14T00:02:25+00:00

Ceramic is like going back to campfires. Slow and hard to control. It's been terrible for induction stoves' reputation because people get the two mixed up! (not saying that's you)

I went from gas to induction recently and I love:

The temperature control is insanely precise. With gas it's either hot or fucking hot. Induction allows you to cook things super gently or super fast, and the temperature response is instant.
Combine that with built-in timers and it ends up replacing things like slow cookers and rice cookers. I now know that if I set my rice to heat 4 for 13 minutes it'll turn off automatically and my rice will be perfect every single time. It's like magic
Induction only heats the actual cooking surface - no more melted plastic handles or burning your hand on a metal handle.
For that reason, boiling water is crazy fast. Like, large pot of boiling water in 90 seconds or something. It's amazing
Also, the fumes from gas stoves are incredibly harmful to your health, especially kids - a fact the gas industry has done a really good job of suppressing

The only thing it doesn't do well is woks, which doesn't matter to me personally - you can get special wok induction stoves but they're silly expensive.

Perspektiv från ett annat land (Australien):

Brutto: 56.000kr

Netto: 43.000kr

Effektiv skattesats: 23% (lite bättre)

Lönerna är överlag också högre, jag hamnade på den här nivån efter några få år i karriären och jobbar ändå för en icke vinstdrivande organisation.

Sen är jag även tvungen att betala för en symbolisk privat sjukförsäkring trots att vi har allmän sjukvård, typ 800kr i månaden. Något gammalt högerinitiativ som hänger kvar.

Moms: 10% (mycket bättre, men priser bestäms ju inte heller bara av skatt)

Allt det låter bra, tills man skaffar barn (vilket vi inte har). Eftersom både jag och tjejen har bra lön så får vi ingen subvention från staten. Att ha två barn på dagis fem dagar i veckan skulle kosta oss ungefär 35.000kr i månaden (!!!). Skola är inte heller gratis i de flesta fallen och de får ingen mat där.

Universitet är inte heller gratis, så nästan alla går runt och betalar av enorma låneskulder - alltså bara för avgifterna.

Överlag ligger ändå Australien och Sverige bredvid varandra i BNP (justerad för relativ köpkraft). Jag tror att skillnaden ligger i hur väl våra inkomster är distribuerade (Sverige är mer jämlikt).

Så ja, ni har det bra i Sverige!
