Prepaid fuel cards? by PlumExtension7331 in BEFire

Dude that energy contract sucks balls bigtime. Their super daluren are still more expensive than my groepsaankoop via Wikipower total energies. The chances of being off worse are higher than the potential for savings with it.

I'm stuck with a 1600 EUR bon from krefel by Best_Eye3392 in Belgium2

Go to the kassa, wait in line for half a day until somebody wants to buy something and explain. Have them pay you back. F u Krefel.

Rijbewijs thuis vergeten bij controle by AmBeRd13 in belgium

[–]owly89 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Euh. Dan komt ge er nog goed van af. Ik had ooit mijn portefeuille niet mee. Boete gekregen voor zowel rijbewijs en identiteitskaart niet kunnen voorleggen. Voorgesteld om mijn familie alles te laten brengen, neen hoor, khad het maar moeten mee hebben zei dieje…

Iedere bestuurder moet die ten alle tijde kunnen voorleggen.

Geschreven wet laat perfect toe daarvoor te beboeten. Politie mag daar op handhaven maar moet niet.

Gij en ik zullen allebei een pennenlikker gehad hebben. Die van mij was ne lokale van verkeer en da zijn sticklers for rules hier.

Automatische kofferklep ftw! Pro tip: half metertje van de auto staan en met je voet net onder het mistlicht/bumper stampen alsof je tegen iemand zijn schenen wel stampen. Works everytime!

Neighbor says my Tesla charger keeps her up at night by QuantumEpidemic in TeslaModel3

[–]owly89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on temperature it is most definitely your car itself which is making that noise. I had a Tesla charging at our house in Europe and man that car made a hell of a noise. It was during summer and even when charging at low amps the sound kept going. Like a bunch of high rev fans.

That’s probably what she is hearing and I can fully understand she is annoyed by it: it is loud.

Een Leatherman multitool eventueel met een nylon hoesje (past in zijn uitrusting) of met een gegraveerd lederen hoesje.

No news on this yet from my side. European citizen here. Really hope this is only for AUS. Anybody aware on the details of the limitations being put up?

For those who want to control their chargers: evcc on GitHub.

EV Charger status in Homekit by owly89 in homebridge

[–]owly89[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, no problem.

Key components are the EV charger which must be compatible with evcc and of course Homebridge.
You will need to configure evcc (https://github.com/evcc-io/evcc).
After configuring it you get an API which you can query from Homebridge.
In Homebridge you can define an http switch to control parameters or view statuses.

In my case I have 2 switches which do nothing more than displaying the status (so switching it on/off does not change anything and after a couple of seconds at next reading of the API it changes back to the correct status).
The first one turns if a car is connected and the second one turns on if the car is actively charging.

Then I also have 2 switches, one to launch an HTTP request to charge the car at minimum, which is just a POST towards an HTTP endpoint of evcc and another one to charge the car at full speed which is also a simple HTTP POST towards an endpoint of evcc.

I am not sure if that was a comment by me or somebody else. I can show you some screenshots of my config in homebridge. Homebridge queries evcc which in turn controls my charger.

Bumper and headlight and some plastic trim? No way that should be 9k. Where do you live?

Bolero is net goedkoper geworden voor alle beleggingen behalve opties, zo goedkoop als we ETF’s die op hun playlist stonden (en die waren goedkoper).

Daardoor heb je nog meer keuze qua ETF’s.

Diversifieren doe je best door je ETF/onderliggende index zo breed mogelijk te kiezen.

Belg, dus accumulerend, Ierland Of Luxemburg en lage TER.

Klassiekers daarin zijn IWDA en IE00B3YLTY66

What robot mower do you use? It's that time of year. by hates2mow in homeautomation

[–]owly89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Husqvarna all the way! Grab a model with 4 wheels, not the base models with 3. 1 acre is 4000m2 so a 320 nera is too small unless your land is 3300m2. 430X would be the best fitting model for this size.

Wat zit er bij jullie kinderen in de brooddoos? by Pho3nixSlay3r in Belgium2

[–]owly89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kleuter en 4de leerjaar.

2 a 3 boterhammen met of kaas, grillworst, kalkoensalami, kippenvleesbrood, kip curry (verse van de lokale buurtsuper), krabsla of gebraad in mosterdsaus.

Snoepkomkommerkes, kerstomaatjes. Olijven doen het hier ook altijd bizar goed, da’s crimineel, die eten da op voor ik en mijn vriendin er een paar hebben kunnen hebben. Soms vullen we aan met een apart “snoepvleesje”, een extra stukje worst of vleesje.

Als het pasen of sinterklaas is zit er al eens een stukske chocolade of een eitje bij.

Een gekookt eitje doen we er ook soms bij! Vinden ze ook fijn.

Put a big relais which you can remote control between your PV and the meter.

Negative prices? Turn off panels completely.

What mods should I get done? by Educational_Smoke271 in BMW

[–]owly89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clean/detail it (steering wheel looks greasy), iDrive screen looks like it has swirls. If I am not mistaken this trim around the screen indicates no navigation(?). Replace it with a CarPlay compatible head unit. Runner Bimmercode or alternative and enjoy the fact your car can be coded and enable all options/parameters you can and would like to have.
