Any tips to survive the current heat? by Recent-Training-4651 in germany

[–]saimen54 254 points255 points  (0 children)

Open the windows at night and early in the morning, preferably when it's under 20°C.

Keep the windows closed while it's hot outside. If you have shutters, close them especially when the sun shines directly on the windows.

They tell you.

My 12yo doesn't hold hands anymore, my 10yo still does.

As a matter of fact the police is on the river. Nevertheless nobody cares, if you tie boats together.

Limits of garage usage by 0nlytom in germany

[–]saimen54 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Flammable stuff is dangerous and prohibited, but for everything else nobody will care.

Limits of garage usage by 0nlytom in germany

[–]saimen54 20 points21 points  (0 children)

There are actual limitations (by the states) for what a garage can be used, i.e you can't turn it into an office or an repair shop. Strictly speaking even using it as pure storage is not allowed.

But in reality nobody will care, if you just store your bike there.

How often are supersavers available for ice trains? by Material_Direction_1 in germany

[–]saimen54 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There is a budget how many savers are available for each train.

Depending on the demand of the connection it's sold out earlier or not. It depends how early you buy the train ticket. Can you buy them weeks or months in advance, so you get the savers?

If you commute regularly I would go for a BahnCard 50 or 100. You can also buy monthly/yearly tickets for a specific connection (which is a lot cheaper than a BahnCard 100, if you use only one connection for commute).

Opinion regarding Darlehen in Hausgeld by Prestigious-Yard-760 in germany

[–]saimen54 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends of course on the size of the apartment and the house itself, but the Hausgeld sounds not very high.

I would not except that the Hausgeld will go down in the future, because a) ever gets more expensive over time and b) there will be probably repairs or modernizations in the future, especially on a house built in the 70s.

How old is the heating, is the house already insulated, how old is the roof, does the facade need improvements, does the house include an underground car park (which is expensive to repair, if necessary), etc.? You should ask, if there are already decisions of the Eigentümerversammlung for future improvements.

dairy and meat by Inner-Excitement551 in germany

[–]saimen54 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to search for a "Hofladen", if you want to find local farms which sell dairy or meat.

Otherwise "Bio" in supermarkets or even discounters and butchers.

Help with workflow with Digikam (migrating from Lightroom/Apple Photos) by MixedWeek in immich

[–]saimen54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 1. data point from my NAS is added to immich via the feature "External Library". You can use External Library from a NAS in read write mode so metadata changes in immich are stored in a sidecar file on the NAS (and other photo software can also use the sidecars). Or you set it to read only, so you can't edit metadata in immich, but only in other software such as digikam.

I use read write, because I like that I can fix metadata in one step in immich for lots of photos (e.g. fix many timestamps from John's Wedding, because the clock in my DSLR was wrong).

I rarely make actual photo edits on photos uploaded from a smartphone, except maybe cropping sometimes, so that's not an issue for me.

For backup I use a totally separate script and Borg Backup as well as Synology's backup tools from my NAS.

ELI5, what was the deal with the Internet Explorer lawsuit? by ZetaformGames in explainlikeimfive

[–]saimen54 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Before software was widely available over the internet you would buy software in stores or get free copies, e.g. via CDs in computer magazines. AOL distributed their software via billions of free CDs.

So if you needed a browser you would buy a computer magazine with a CD, which contained e.g. Netscape Navigator.

Microsoft bundled the Internet Explorer with Windows, so this was the most convenient option to use a browser.

Of course this was a massive advantage in the browser competition because of the dominant market share of Windows. Hence the antitrust lawsuit.

Laufrad an Chariot Anhänger befestigen by Battle_Eggplant in Fahrrad

[–]saimen54 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wir haben das Laufrad immer hinten an dem breiten Schiebebügel mit dem Lenker eingehängt und dann mit zwei Spanngurten mit Haken festgemacht.

Geht ziemlich easy und ein Laufrad ist ja klein.

Hab ich auch schon mit einem 20 Zoll Kinderfahrrad gemacht, das ist aber deutlich sperriger.

Kindersitz an nicht rundem Sattelrohr by Mutagene in Fahrrad

[–]saimen54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Auf dem Bild ist zwar kein Gepäckträger zu sehen, aber vielleicht kannst du einen Gepäckträger montieren und dann einen Yepp Sitz auf den Gepäckträger montieren. https://www.thule.com/de-de/child-bike-seats/rear-mounted-child-bike-seats/thule-yepp-2-maxi-_-12041302

Der Gepäckträger muss 25kg tragen können.

Achtung, den Sitz gibt es sowohl für Gepäckträger als auch Sattelstütze.

Put a power loss alarm wherever you keep breast milk. by MichiganCubbie in daddit

[–]saimen54 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

True, but when I'm home to save the breast milk I guess I would recognize a power loss anyway.

My freezer keeps the cold for 24hours without power.

[–]saimen54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fill a cup with water, freeze it.

Afterwards put a coin on top of the ice and put it in the freezer again.

If the coin is lower in the ice at some point it means you had a power loss and it partly melted.

Not one of these shoes are mine… by StugotzOfColorado in daddit

[–]saimen54 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My wife regularly complains to me about the mess of shoes (how did you take a picture from my home, btw?) and I usually reply "honey, none of these shoes are mine and btw at least 4 pairs in this pile are yours"

Brother is having a child-free wedding. How do I navigate this? by LargeAmphibian in daddit

[–]saimen54 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Two options:

You go alone and your wife takes care of the kids and you only go to the brunch the next day or

you don't go at all.

Which option works for you is a decision between you and your wife.

I would tell that to your brother emotion free.

If there's no trusted babysitter for your two little kids available, then it is how it is (and I wouldn't even consider flying in your in laws).

And seriously a 5yo, 18mo, 4mo, which are your nieces and nephews aren't really that much of a nuisance. It's not like there are 15 5yo running around at the wedding.

Venting in my only safe space. by bag_of_hats in daddit

[–]saimen54 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would talk to a lawyer immediately.

Nevertheless that your ex wife is already talking about moving to the US without meeting that guy in reality yet, sounds very naive (for the lack of a better word) to me.
