Single standard door refrigerators are better than french door.

Single door is nicer bc you only have to open one door, the french doors you often have to open both bc they are too small to get to things unless it's in the door compartment. Opening or closing both doors with things in your hands gets old, and if you want to get into the meat drawer you have to open both sides fully then...

It's going to depend on where you are, but there's usually some form of transit here in Sweden in all but the most rural places. Outside of cities, there's a decent chance you'll get a car anyway because the transit is not of high enough quality, unfortunate as it may be.

That being said, where I live in Stockholm, transit takes me everywhere I want to go, including longer distances to visit my family that lives far from Stockholm in the form of decently high speed trains. My bicycle is also a great way to get around the city.

I'm very pleased with not having to own a car, it saves me a lot of money and effort, and my transport time is spent more productively - when biking, I get exercise while listening to podcasts, and on transit I can use my phone freely to do whatever I want. It's also generally a less frustrating way to get around, not having to be stuck in traffic or spend time, effort and money to park. It's also basically at no loss of time compared to driving for the majority of my trips. All this on top of being a better option from an environmental standpoint. I'm very happy!

Fart also means Speed, for what it's worth.

It's pronounced more like "sloot". To get the same sounding word as the English "slut" the closest thing would be "slatt" in Swedish, which approximately means the remainder of something - the last drops of a drink can be referred to as a "slatt"

I've started relying more on AI-powered tools like Perplexity for many of my search use-cases for this very fact - all results basically warrant a pre-filtering to be useful.

I don't disagree, but for obvious reasons, we can't access Google from a decade ago, since they've made it unavailable.

I'm not really describing an ideal state, this is a mere matter of practicality.

GissaMittJobb ,

I think it might have to do with the broad anti-AI sentiment that seems to be present here at Lemmy.

GissaMittJobb ,

Yeah, they don't care that senior talent left because that was the whole point.

but doesn’t really help with my impression that there’s something strange in the state of Denmark.

This is what us Swedes have been saying all along.

Popular might be overselling it a bit there, buddy. It exists and some people eat it.

Now kebab pizza, there's a popular pizza for you. With good reason, I might add - it's the god emperor of hangover foods.

My most McGyvered solution to create a bootable USB was to take a really old Android phone and make it into one. Worked surprisingly well, actually.

Hur kommer det sig att du bestämde dig för att posta en studie från 2019 en så vacker kväll som ikväll?

Utöver det finns det en ganska rimlig förklaring i diskussionsdelen av artikeln:

Secondly, granting rates largely reflect patterns of unemployment when considering intersections between gender and country of birth. That is, foreign-born women are most likely to be granted support whereas native-born men embody the opposite position. These patterns are consistent with actual inequalities in access to paid work and social security schemes, and can be read as an expected outcome.

Mer intressant kan man kanske tycka att det är att studien påvisar en relativt konservativ uppfattning bland socialarbetarna:

In line with previous research, the results indicate that social workers have higher expectations on men as breadwinners.

Summit is the best option I've found, to replace RIF that I used to use back when I was using reddit.

This is an industrial designed exercise bike from Lithuania that can store 2KWh of electricity generated by your own exercise.

It's still unlikely to pencil out to do this given the opportunity cost of actually going through the effort of building, buying and connecting these things, to be honest.

I'm fascinated by the idea but it's important to remain realistic.

Here's a good article on the concept of bicycle generators: https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com/2022/03/how-to-build-a-practical-household-bike-generator/

Personally, I think the best application of this concept is probably direct use of the mechanical energy, without converting the energy to electricity at all. See the bicimaquinas-concept: http://www.mayapedal.org/index.en

One of the wonderful things about bicycles is how extraordinarily efficient they are - very little energy is required in relation to how much transportation work you get out of it. This works against us in the case of power generation, though - little power going in means little power going out.

It's a tool like any other, appropriate under some circumstances and inappropriate in others.

Blindly rejecting it without considering whether it's appropriate in the context is honestly just as bad as choosing it without considering whether it's appropriate in the context, fwiw.

I thought non-competes were not applicable in California?

Good point, I was thinking of even before that FTC declaration though.

GissaMittJobb OP ,

I'm gonna give this one a shot. Thank you!

GissaMittJobb OP ,

I'd be interested in this as well.

I follow the Duolingo Spanish Podcast, which has had some moderately interesting stories over the years, but I'd like to hear something a bit more challenging for sure.

More powerful hardware makes tasks that were previously not considered end-user tasks feasible for end-users, just give it some time.

One pourover in the morning, one pourover after lunch. Under exceptional circumstances, a double espresso in the afternoon. Very rarely if ever more than that.

Growing up, there was an association in my area for common ownership of different types of machinery and other equipment for its members. You paid something like $10 a year, and for that you got to borrow all kinds of things you might need as a home owner, like a wood chopper/splitter, high pressure washer, trailers, leaf blowers, cement mixer, scaffolding etc.

I always thought that was brilliant.

If you're prioritizing cost, you should probably already be building a web application imo. There's very few cases where I would recommend cheaping out and building a native app, it's just kind of unsound.

Looks like my Lemmy-client of choice did some retrying when I had poor connection, sorry about that.

I think trying to go cheap on native apps was always kind of a fool's errand, tbh. Cordova, Xamarin, React Native and so on - all pretty sub-par solutions leading to poor experience without actually materializing the desired savings.

Even if you assume that additional labour costs are a bit higher in Germany, there's no way on earth that it could explain the difference of the Bay Area-median being over 3 times higher.

Sure, but why would this lead to a decrease in power consumption? I'm not sure that follows.

Middling pay? At FAANG-tier companies?

These are some extraordinary claims in need of some extraordinary proof.
