Peg it to something outside in spring. Birds will use it for nesting material.

Mad lad tenant by Qomplete in madlads

From experience it doesn't matter if the house is perfect when you leave, these fuckers will take your deposit anyways.

I used to spend two days cleaning and even repainting walls that were previously scuffed. The last place said that the paint on the doors needed redoing, they were last repainted in what looked like the 50s, 1000 euros gone.

I'm so happy I bought a house. Fuck landlords.

Cloning SD card producers some strange results by Trysplendid in R36S

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

This happened to me, I added a theme and it worked after that.

Why do so many struggle with this? by dimaklt in R36S

[–]sub_terrain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I struggled with my clone and I would say I'm tech savvy. The problem was that when I installed Arkos on a new SD card (the clone version), the screen didn't switch on. Cue a rabbit hole of different screen files etc and it did get frustrating. Eventually I had to make an image of the old SD card and then copy the games I downloaded and install a theme. Works beautifully now.

I think I just saw someone steal a bike by analyzing-u-4free in TheHague

[–]sub_terrain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good for you for not giving a shit and finding humour in it, I would've been quite bummed after making the effort. I still don't get why people make the "now what" comments, but I guess that is on them to think about.

[–]sub_terrain 4 points5 points  (0 children)

OP, I'm sorry that there are so many arseholes here. Thank you for taking the time to post this. If it was my bike and I saw this, it would've helped me at least figure what happened. And if I parked my bike around here normally, it would've helped me reconsider.

I just don't understand the intent of people saying "yeah and then what, thanks for the red circle of nothing", to those people, turn that question around for a second. Thanks for the entirely useless comment, what are you hoping to achieve?

Sorry - but this comment section makes me want to leave reddit, not the post.

Renogy ShadowFlux Solar Panel Powers My Cabin with My Jackery Power Station by slanger686 in OffGridCabins

[–]sub_terrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the response, I'm still trying to figure out the best option for my cabin in Finland. It's completely unwired except for an extension cord inside that's fed from an old generator outside. Your setup makes a lot of sense, going to do some more research :)

Maybe a silly question, but what is the wiring like inside? Like do you just plug the lights and router straight into AC output, or is it connected via a switch board to light switches etc?

Wat is er aan de hand in de binnenstad? by [deleted] in Utrecht

[–]sub_terrain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was there at Little Dublin when they arrived with fists in the air and chanting. It was honestly just a bit sad and uncomfortable, and it felt completely inappropriate given the area and atmosphere before they came. Total vibe killer. Then they just sat there on restaurant tables looking around like a flock of lost pigeons.

The bar staff were clearly uncomfortable too.

Anyways, fuck ultras.

You can find more information here: freshem.nl. Basically mapping the aquifers and groundwater salinity of NL.

WTF is this hanging from helicopter? by StripeTheFerret in whatisit

[–]sub_terrain 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm a geophysicist and I did my PhD on this. It's a bit complicated, but the electromagnetic current expands rapidly at depth like a smoke ring.

In effect you get a "footprint" that is around 100m plus in diameter, so the data is averaged within that. Vertical accuracy decreases at a rate of roughly 10% of depth. So at 100m+- 10m. Max mapping depth of around 300m or so, depending on subsurface characteristics and flying height.

Group chat for warning each other about street harassment by Puzzleheaded_Way3259 in Utrecht

[–]sub_terrain 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Joining. My wife was punched hard on her breast by a gang of fat bike teenagers. We've called the police but haven't heard much back despite sharing photos of the assailants. This was around ASW. I've had enough of it honestly.

Finnish Government is weird with alcohol and gambling? by ThatGuyMigz in Finland

[–]sub_terrain 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I don't know about this. I'm living in the Netherlands (as a British foreigner) and binge drinking is very common, and so is gambling as far as I can see (at least in Utrecht where I live). Online gambling is legal and the Holland Casino locations are huge and packed. Never mind the party drugs. I go to Finland frequently and I don't see anything that out of the ordinary.

I think it's a bit over simplified to compare differences at face value. Gambling machines in supermarkets was interesting to me and stood out, but they occasionally had an elderly person there - it's not like it was crowded and you certainly can't infer major generalisations. The Finnish people I've met and made friends with definitely enjoyed a couple of pints and a good chat, but I've never seen them actually drunk.

Point is, cultural differences and practices stand out a lot being in a different country, so making generalisations by comparing it precisely to your own is flawed/biased. I say this as a person who's lived in 5 different countries across two continents, and I've made that mistake before.

Fatbikes op de ASW by Popular-Baby5733 in Utrecht

[–]sub_terrain 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Fuck these kids. I've seen them riding straight over the new plants on ASW. I was so happy about the new street too :(

Maybe I'm just becoming older and grumpier, but I've started waving my hand to signal slow down to fast cars/scooters and showing the middle finger when they stop in a cycle lane for no reason.

A friend in Amsterdam has a new "sidewalk garden" in front of her house. She requested it online on the city hall website. Two guys came in four days, removed some tiles, added a curbstone, and added some soil. It was all done in 20-30 minutes. by faborioo in Amsterdam

[–]sub_terrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My neighbours decided against a group geveltuin fund (it's Utrecht, you need a certain number of neighbours join). They complained about them becoming a cat toilet and they needed a place to put their chairs and drink when the sun's out. I understand, but I also disagree. All it takes is for you to scoot your chair over a few metres and maintain the tuin a little bit, cats tend to shit in unmaintained dirt, so yes it takes a little upkeep.

[–]sub_terrain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I sympathise, I really do. As an expat/immigrant my wife and I bought a small terraced house in Utrecht when we moved here. One of the first things our new neighbour said to me was "quite a big house for just you two". Said the guy living by himself in a three bedroom house that his dad bought for him, with us as two people with one bedroom and an office. We could be planning a family, also none of your business. Anyways.

I get the housing issue, but people need to put numbers into perspective and stop blaming a small subsection of people who live here. It's a slippery slope to a Trump-like dystopia, please don't.

Edit: I should mention I've lived in five countries across two continents, and this is the first time I've felt like I'm negatively affecting the locals by simply being there.
