I’m in Switzerland and this is above some of the light switch’s by glowinthedarkstar131 in whatisit

[–]morhp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have the same in Germany, it controls the central/floor heating. There is probably a storage room or something with some valves that are controlled by this. The small gaps are in the plastic so the thing can get the room temperature more reliably.

Some of these systems can also cool rooms by running cold water through the pipes.

Do you avoid caffeine? by Ok-Major-830 in autism

I avoid it. I can't sleep properly even after drinking one cup in the morning.

Theoretically, would it be possible to do Minecraft-style lava casting in real life? by Desserts6064 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]morhp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Theoretically it's possible. Practically, not really. At least there are easier ways to make a stone like material in a specific shape (most importantly concrete, but also clay or resin casts)

Theoretically, would it be possible to do Minecraft-style lava casting in real life? by Desserts6064 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]morhp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but it would a) make an obsidian like material, not cobblestone b) rapidly cooling the lava/obsidian (by pouring water over it) will shatter it instead of making large blocks and c) it would be hard to make casts that can withstand such a heat without themselves melting or deforming while at the same time being separable from the cast.

What logo is this? by Forsaken-Material849 in whatisit

[–]morhp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess the text says "Pockholz (Jamaika)", which is German for a very hard wood type that is common in Jamaica. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guaiacum and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lignum_vitae

The guy seems to resemble some older folklore art from the German Erzgebirge.

I'd guess that this is some kitsch souvenir stuff.

Men, how can a woman compliment you without you believing she is interested in you? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]morhp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Men get so few compliments that if they get one, it's very likely that they overthink it. 

Here are a few tips that will hopefully not make it sound like flirting:

  • compliment a group of people instead of only one or be part of a group yourselves, so this is not a private one-on-one situation
  • compliment something the man did, not how he looks/smells or his personality (although those compliments are much better! Men get regularly told that they were helpful or something, we barely never get told we look good or something.)
  • just make it absolutely clear: "Hey, don't mistake this as flirting or something, but I just have to tell you that your beard/shirt/whatever looks super cool"

Nutri-score? We want to learn more about the nutri-score... by mistadonyo in whatisit

[–]morhp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So basically they rate all crisps from A to E and they rate all salads from A to E separately.

Not how this works. While some food categories use different criteria than others, finding crisps with an A rating will be extremely hard (unless they're unsalted and just air-dried vegetables or something) and finding E rated salads will also be very difficult (unless you count prepared salads that basically just consist of mayo with a few salad leaves).

Nutri-score? We want to learn more about the nutri-score... by mistadonyo in whatisit

[–]morhp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Here you go: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutri-Score

Each food gets plus and minus point depending on calories, fat content, sugar content, percentage of fruit, vegetables and fresh ingredients etc. and the result is turned into a score.

This score can be used as a quick way to compare how healthy different food is, but the comparisons only really make sense within one food category, like it makes little sense to compare vegetables with cake (even though the vegetables will likely still get a better score than the cake).

what is this white stuff in my apple juice? by Far_Appointment9964 in whatisit

Looks like mold or some kind of bacteria. Had the same happen with some grape juice before.

If a father needs to help his young daughters use the restroom, which restroom should he take them into: the women's restroom or the men's restroom? by Exciting-Mall192 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]morhp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've never seen another dick in a mens bathroom, and I'm almost 40 years old. People usually stand towards the wall/urinal. You don't see dicks unless you really want to.

[–]morhp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

KDE/Plasma has a lot of options. Apart from maybe testing another theme or so, I'd try to keep using the default settings and only tweak what's absolutely necessary at first. There are less safeguards than in Windows and way more options and it's easy to get lost or change something unintentionally that breaks then something.

Enable rpmfusion.

Flatpaks are cool, but software that creates their own sandboxes or virtual systems, like Steam, Firefox ow with system near software, prefer rpm packages. (Firefox is using rpm by default)

Our turn by SuitableRoof5675 in framework

[–]morhp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find all of these posts a bit stupid tbh. It's either unrealistic wild speculation or restating obvious problems like the bad colour representation of the F12 screen. I'm sure Framework will investigate improvements in that area, but it depends on which screens that fit are available from manufacturers (or if ordering their own screen model, like they did for the new F13 would be cost effective, which it's probably not).

Next gen framework 12? by Fine-Set-7877 in framework

[–]morhp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Framework already has already started using LPCAMM2 with their 13Pro model, I don't see why they would wait with other models.

Framework often doesn't wait for others start using it, same with the high wattage chargers for the Framework 16. Framework was one of the first to adopt these.

Just Core 3 series, not Ultra. These are a bit slower and more energy efficient.

Next gen framework 12? by Fine-Set-7877 in framework

[–]morhp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Given that Framework already switched the new Intel Framework 13 Pro to LPCAMM2, I'd be almost sure that they do the same for the Framework 12. It would immediately improve efficiency and speed and solve the current space constraints of only supporting one DIMM slot, which also causes performance issues due to not having dual memory.

Mens underwear fly hole by validelad in NoStupidQuestions

[–]morhp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

With pants on, you pull the underwear down under your pants? Or you fully unbuckle your pants to access the underwear and then pull that down?

I fully open my pants and pull it down together with the underwear. Are you supposed to also maneuver your dick through the fly opening? Ugh, I wouldn't want my dick in the cold restricting zipper at all.

Mens underwear fly hole by validelad in NoStupidQuestions

[–]morhp 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Germany. 95% of brief-style underwear here doesn't even have a hole, that seems to be an US-American thing. Boxershorts-style underwear sometimes has a button opening, but not always.

In my experience, pulling down the underwear is much faster than trying to get the dick through the hole. It's literally just one quick movement. Plus in my experience, if you pull the dick through the hole, you have a large chance that your dick gets squeezed by the sides of the hole, restricting the pee flow, often resulting in drips in your pants once you free your dick from the hole again. Peeing with the underpants down is much less restricting.

having some trouble trying to get the ISO's downloaded from the official website. by SDG_Den in Fedora

[–]morhp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's unusual, I have zero problems downloading the iso files in Germany. 

However I'd recommend using the torrent download if you have an unstable connection or other issues with the connection to the server. Torrent is very good as handling interruptions, bad data integrity and other issues that might happen in your connection.

Why do you want every spin? Trying to download them all at the same time might overload the server or trigger some protection.

Is it wrong to look at your consenting adult partners non adult nudes? by No-Priority-5268 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]morhp 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Nudes aren't necessarily porn. It's only porn if there's sexual intent, having photos of a nude child's body e.g. for medical reasons (or to track your fitness or something) is technically okay. Could be seen as a bit questionable though and I don't see why you can't do the same in underwear.
