But 100 clothespins. Glue them to the back of your closet door.

Edit: example

They don't even need "they/them" when they have ranks.

The stove top kettle might get a comeback since modern induction stoves are faster than an electric kettle. I'm about to get one and look forward to having one less appliance on the table.

Hopefully the system can be changed. It's evident that it needs to be addressed after the discovery and public rage against the monetary practices.

Yeah, it's legal to purchase and own a Cybertruck in Europe.

You just can't legally drive it on public roads, because it hasn't passed the safety tests.

They haven't even attempted, because it is evident that it will fail. So, they have not introduced the vehicle for sale in Europe

If you see one, it's probably a gimmick showcase thing. They did tour a demo model around for tv stations earlier this year, but I'm not sure what the purpose was. It was basically mocked everywhere it went.

It's possible and perfectly legal to import it yourself and then... put it in a garage or drive around your mansion all day long if you want.

The sand silo heating projects that I've read about are used to feed the excess energy from electricity to central heating. The heat can be stored for months, but converting it back to electricity wouldn't be very efficient. It's "only" viable in places with district heating.

There are other power-to-x technologies out there, like splitting water to hydrogen and oxygen, and these are all good ways to use excess energy, but they won't help on stabilizing the electricity production. Hopefully these technologies can create enough demand for electricity that the prices will always be worth it for the producers, so they can begin (over)producing enough renewable energy to cover the baseload at all times.

The gas production in early 1900s sort of did the same. The gas was produced for heating and light, but the byproducts of gas production lead to all kinds of other very cheap chemicals and products. Similarly we need to think of excess electricity as a very cheap byproduct and invent uses for it, instead of attempting to "balance" it.

In my opinion, this shows why privatization of electricity production is an obstruction. It would have been easier to transition completely to renewable energy if it was a state monopoly setting a fixed price to enable overproduction without regard to price fluctuations.

They have $44 billion dollar bills to wipe away the tears.

Yes, for some things. Some tasks are better done summarized. Cleaning generally isn't, because it easily conflicts with other tasks when not done.

I'm a rather busy family man, so if I have 20 minutes to cook a meal for the family before I have to drive someone somewhere it can really mess up the entire day schedule if the sink is full of dishes and the trash bin is topped up with unsorted garbage. So I try to be on top of it for my own sake. "Keep the tools sharp" goes for everything, even a diaper supply.

If it comes up the basement drain, then the obstruction is further down, and so you can't really flush it from the drain and out. You need to find the sewer service well further out and flush it from there and in.

It's likely a broken pipe taking in sand or branches, so flushing it won't be a permanent fix. A plumber can probably fix it from outside too, so it doesn't have to be very expensive.

You don't need to waste your money on snakes and that kind of stuff. If a regular hose on full blast can't loosen the obstruction from outside, then you need a plumber anyway.

I clean up when I'm done. Never leave dishes in the sink and such. I'm not a cleaning freak or anything, it's just that I prefer not having to deal with these kind of obstacles before I can begin doing something else in that area.

Jeg tror ikke gør den store forskel i denne undersøgelse. Offentligt ansatte som også er medlem af Lederne er typisk ansat i funktioner hvor de godt kan forhandle om løn mere frit. Det er altså i forvejen en noget selektiv gruppe at lave undersøgelse på. De har mere tilfælles mellem offentlig og privat end de har med alm. lønmodtagere.

Løndannelse indenfor det offentlige er heller ikke så låst som det rygtes. Det er bare meget mere struktureret end i det private. På visse måder er det nemmere at få lønforhøjelse i det offentlige. Det kommer ikke af sig selv, men hvis man tager noget uddannelse, så kan man også forlange mere løn hver gang der deles ud af lønbudgettet.

Lemmy's årlige "place" er begyndt, hvis I har lyst til at deltage. Jeg har dårligt tid i år, men et par pixels skal der nok blive tid til. Reglerne er vist ligesom sidste år.

Det her er ikke bare et udemærket nummer, men simpelthen en sublim optræden. Jeg forstår ikke hvorfor de aldrig udgav den version. Den er langt bedre end album-versionen.

Nummeret er også en god opvarmning for stemmebåndet hvis man har lyst til selv at spille. Videoen her viser også hvorfor man ikke kan stole på online tabs. Han spiller jo bare i G med en capo. På den måde er akkorderne enkle "pædagog akkorder" og lyder bedre på den måde.

 

Jeg skal reparere murværk omkring en yderdør i en kælder. Tømreren som lavede døren har slået ret store stykker af muren af omkring hele murhullet, så det er lidt mere end en tynd pudsning som skal til.

Jeg vil ikke bygge en lysning af træ/gips men bare mure op, pudse og male. Det passer bedst med resten af kælderen hvor det hele bare er gammelt murværk og puds.

Jeg tænker på at lave midlertidige støtter af brædder for at få det nogenlunde lige, særligt i toppen, men det bliver alligevel nogle dybe ujævnheder som skal udfyldes. Jeg er derfor i tvivl om det kan gøres med "universal mørtel" som måske kun er egnet til tynd pudsning eller om der skal bruges noget mere cement-agtigt som kan holde til større dybde. Altså, jeg vil hellere lave en god solid fyldning end at skulle vente på at 10 lag af tynd puds tørrer. Jeg kan ikke rigtigt finde sådan et produkt?

Skal/kan man evt. fylde op med mindre stykker mursten eller andet undervejs?

Hvordan gør man?

 
 

How do I best view tabs from pages like ultimate guitar and others on a phone browser, so that the chords and lyrics match up? I know on pc they usually show up fine in notepad or with ASCII fixed sys font, but I can't quite figure out how to set it up for easy browsing on an android phone. I tried copying it to other apps but none of them have a fixed width font.

How do you do it?

 

Denmark just had the national entry contest today.

The winner was Saba with the song "Sand". Linked in the post.

The top three final also included the 2014 winner Basim with the song "Johnny" and Janus Wiberg from Faroe Islands with the song "I need your love". Both received more audience votes than the winner, but the jury votes had put Saba ahead from the start.
