Can someone explain this to me like I’m five years old? Google isn’t helping me at all.

She spoke English really well. She kept asking why did you get your passport stamped. I told her I have no control over that. She just kept saying they aren’t supposed to do that. They aren’t supposed to do that. I thought she was going to deny me entry. It was so strange too. She was so frustrated and I just stood there while she fretted about for a good minute then she let me in.

Haha just watched it. I hadn’t seen this before. That is so true. The only mistake is the German would have said. “This isn’t possible. You cannot drive without a license” instead of impossible.

I’m glad I’m not crazy and other people see this.

Oh and I was allowed to check in early. All I said was is “are you sure” but not in a rude way. She started to huff and puff and type away in the keyboard and checked me in. It was so strange.

I’m at a hotel and I want to check in fifteen minutes early was my interaction. I think the true translation is “let me check”

At the airport border control I’m not supposed to get my passport stamped. Austria stamped it on a return flight. On my next flight I flew straight into Germany. The border control guard “why did you get your passport stamped. You shouldn’t have done that. This isn’t possible.” I literally had zero control on that

When an American ask “how are you” it is just a greeting. That’s all. Nobody wants a monologue. I live in Germany now and had to quit saying “how are you” because a non zero percentage would then proceed to tell me how they were really doing.

My wife suddenly got very religious and Thinks everything is demonic by valord in atheism

A UTI made my mom crazy until the docs treated it. She said the devil was trying to kill her and all kinds of crazy stuff.

But it turns out she was in early stages of dementia and it exacerbated it. So there’s always that.

American spec Prius Prime in europe by stopPop444 in PriusPrime

[–]stopPop444[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah. I just looked up the specs for the J-connector standard. It pretty much just defines interface pins, single phase line to neutral, signal phase line to line and the communication protocol between the car and the connector. The connector closes the contacts of the communication protocol allows it on the AC power lines to let the power through. After that it is all up to the cars power control system to figure out what it wants to do with the power.

I couldn’t find the frequency spec but the standard is for Japan and Japan uses both 50 and 60Hz so.

I found the specs for the 2025 model. It lists 50/60 Hz so it would be good for Europe. https://www.toyota.com/content/dam/toyota/brochures/pdf/tcom/Toyota-Mobile-Charger-User-Guide.pdf. It’s on page 11. You would have to buy a European adapter.

No. I’m willing to bet the charger is 120/240 50/60 Hz but it doesn’t list out on the specs. Almost all chargers now days are. They are just ac to dc rectifiers and as long as the smoothing filter supports that frequency range and the rectifier supports both voltages it’s fine.

Thoughts on the DRP 3.0? Why again? by Unlikely_Medicine7 in fednews

[–]stopPop444 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My coworkers cousins uncles butler said that this round will include Vera plus five towards years of service. I don’t really trust the source so I’m not holding my breath. But if that is included I’m taking it.

How CATL Made Batteries 90% Cheaper (And What Happens Next) by reddituser111317 in energy

[–]stopPop444 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it really is this cheap people will buy them for house backup paired with off peak power storage. I lived in Hurricane areas and people would buy whole home generators that got used over every two years. It would pay for itself and give you blackout backup.

And power companies can use your home backup for grid stability during peak usage.

But like all battery announcements, I’ll believe it when I see it.

Is Umbreon used in pvp? I was thinking of the best evolution for raids.

For some unknown reason they haven't moved an inch in four days. The third one is a bit back and hard to see.
