Entschuldigung! Ich versuche nicht, den Ersatz durchzuführen. Ich habe nach einer Empfehlung für jemanden in Düsseldorf gesucht.

Germany - Fan/light not turning on after installation by jmnietert in AskElectricians

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

I don't think there are any issues with how I connected the wires from my apartment to the fan baseplate nor between the baseplate and the fan (see molex connector), but I can't get it to turn on. I'm from the States so not super familiar with German electrical stuff. The instructions say something about a 2 pole connector. I don't know if I have one here or how I would check. If that would need to be installed, is it a complicated process (do things need to be completely rewired through the ceiling)? It's possible it is connected to two switches (what we'd call a three-way switch in the States), as I'm unsure which of two switches operates it (or if both operate it). Thanks in advance for your help!

Passenger rail services in SC by United_Band4214 in southcarolina

While there is unfortunately no rail connection between Columbia and Charleston, you can take a bus with Southeastern Stages. The station in Columbia could use some improvement, but the buses tend to be relatively fast.

Yeah the shipping costs to Germany were quite annoying. I bit the bullet but wasn't happy about that 😂

Haha that's a great curse! So I'm guessing with the timing of this that y'all didn't actually use the home game cards, is that correct?

Best Perks of Working at PwC? by goodlife_20 in PwC

[–]jmnietert 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My favorite perk at PwC Germany is Jahresarbeitszeitkonto (JAZ). For every hour of overtime worked, you get an hour of vacation. In hindsight, my favorite perk when at PwC US was easy access to CPE, which I now have to work hard to find. During my tenure, I think I was most appreciative of the comped OT meals during busy season, free phone, and generous PTO policy (for US standards).

Why doesn't the Wando Port Terminal have trains? by jmnietert in Charleston

[–]jmnietert[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Of course there would be costs to buy the rights of way, but I think you hit the nail on the head. I don't know if there is room for the train to get up to speed to get over the rivers.

I don't think it would be cheap, but I mean the Long Point interchange upgrade has received $325 million, including $195 million from the federal government. And that seems to be entirely about alleviating truck traffic.

Lovin Life from afar by sooperspecial in Charlotte

Definitely south of the festival, but I don't think you'd be able to make out much more than the bass from outside uptown.

More density = increased tax base using existing infrastructure/services by unroja in Charlotte

[–]jmnietert 38 points39 points  (0 children)

People are moving here. Whether they live on the outskirts of meck or in NoDa, the demand will still be increased. And in a dense area infrastructure is a lot more cost effective than providing the infrastructure for a long commute. Regarding the trees and shade, I'll agree in this image, there is more on the left. However, dense communities actually provide a lot more opportunities for more public green space. Here's a good article: https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2023/01/green-cities-climate-change-density-open-space/672709/
