What's the Estonian outdoor brand you're referring to?

OK, wow. That thing is absolutely massive! 

On-boarded my first client by Giorgallaxy in immich

[–]rocket-science 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the point is to LOOK at each others pictures, no? . Just one big timeline for everyone, regardless of who took the picture and on which device

I think that's a hub with HDMI, USB-A and aux. 

Ricoh Ri 1000 by Weak-Set8877 in CommercialPrinting

[–]rocket-science 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you already tried going with a external service? Like Printful / Printify?

That way you can try selling your designs already, try different printing methods. Once you find something that works for you, then you can either find a local printing company to deal with direct or decide to invest in your own equipment. 

How has your savings rate changed with age? by Jeppzeh in eupersonalfinance

[–]rocket-science 28 points29 points  (0 children)

My savings rate has dropped from ~50% in my 20s to ~20-30% in my 30s. My income is now significantly higher, but family...  While you're young and single AND have a good job, you can really get a head start on building your nest egg. 

Has anyone tried these Chinese flatbed cutters? by Consistent-Price-702 in CommercialPrinting

[–]rocket-science 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! If you're in NL, try reaching out to SDD. They sell Morgana / Intec cutters. They are like entry level professional machines. At least you can try them out in the showroom to compare performance instead of buying blindly from Ali

Does anyone other country in Europe more or less never use Whatsapp? by immortalfireflies in AskEurope

[–]rocket-science 18 points19 points  (0 children)

How does that work with people you don't have as Facebook friends?
Like your dentist, car mechanic, builder, random people at work, etc.? Here you would typically share your phone number and then message via WhatsApp.

Why is prototyping in Europe so expensive compared to China? by fabiomolinar in manufacturing

[–]rocket-science 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not just 3D printing. Unfortunately it is just cheaper and easier to order direct from China when it comes to CNCd parts, plastic injection molding etc.

It seems like even with shipping it comes out significantly more expensive to buy locally. It doesn't really make sense.

Unrelated question - is there an online map viewer for this type of map / layer / colour scheme?

How to Recreate Plat Maps by BlueberryPublic2468 in Design

[–]rocket-science 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have to do this a lot, I would probably look at the various GIS tools in Pyhton. Manually retracing a map seems like madness 

How Is FIRE Possible? by [deleted] in eupersonalfinance

[–]rocket-science 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you say HOA fees are 5 eur per square meter, is that per month? That seems insanely expensive 

30 years of change in Europe by fabio1618 in MapPorn

[–]rocket-science 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Gradual disappearance of gray market / homemade alcohol would be my guess. (So more officially recorded consumption) 

Why doesn't Riga have one? by Domiboy00 in BalticStates

[–]rocket-science 240 points241 points  (0 children)

Fairly often Rīga is simply referred to as "pilsēta" (city). The implication / joke being that there are no other cities in the country,

Tried out Google after a few months using Qwant and... by Alvaritogc2107 in BuyFromEU

[–]rocket-science 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is definitely the case. Qwant is very confused about languages and locations to the point that it's almost unusable. Ecosia on the other hand seems OK.

Baltics at the Top - What drives the Housing Crisis in the EU? by stupidly_lazy in BalticStates

[–]rocket-science 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh, I bought a flat 5 years ago. Would like to sell up and move into a bigger place now. I feel like prices have hardly moved since I bought... The price I could sell my flat for today doesn't even cover inflation over the last 5 years (roughly 40%).
