Here in the Netherlands the 'ijzerboer' will pick up anything made with sufficient percentages of steel. Washing machines included. Soms places you need to call them, in some they just drive through once a week.

I hate having to clean the crud from the mugs of my Polish in-laws. I have a perfectly fine French press!

This is my solution. I already drink way too much coffee (aka rocket fuel), if I would make it _tasty_, I'd certainly develop issues.

It is as you wrote: there's very little profit in small city cars. They (and others) decided to not service that market anymore and focus on segments that have higher profit margins. Electrification compounds this issue: customers want

Even as of 1 person, the car was also cheaper, all in, for me back then (a 20 year old car). NL public transport is super expensive. Doesn't mean it's never interesting, but when I lived in France near a TGV station, I took the tr

That is just not true. Planning a handful of longer trips a year require much more planning than dropping by a gas station for 5 minutes every few weeks.

And you have solar panels that can charge your car at night?

When I lived in Amsterdam, so a solid public transport connection on at least one end, the best I clocked is 2x. Often it was more like 3x. I was just rarely traveling to other city centers, and some town or forest isn't going to have

Harking back to neurons compsci: neurotransmitters can modulate by their amount transmitted (saturation of the receptors, or not), so I can imagine if there's just not enough around, that certain signals will not (optimally) be transmi

I never mentioned Apple. Sure, proud of _not_ purchasing is another level of this, and then _accusing_ someone of being proud to (not) purchase rounds the circle I guess. It's amazing.

Top consumerism right here: being proud of a purchase. I don't know who started this, I only remember that one could be proud of an achievement or of making something. Being proud of purchasing something; it just sounds as impossible a

Thanks for the tip! However, I get a signature error after freshly adding their repo and trying to install it. Also their QR codes are broken on the website. Are we talking about microg.org?

I'm a big Filelight fan. It used to not work well on NTFS volumes, it would miss files flagged Archived, has that been solved?

If you want to book a cab, you call a cab company. No smartphone needed. Also, it's no longer 2013. We have OTA updates and the Aurora store now.

I specifically use OSM because it is by far the most complete. It has every trail branch on it while Gmaps, Bmaps usually are missing out any trails that aren't car driveable.

Most data is crap, and you generally can't tell where the needle in the haystack is. Having more consistency between doctors would already be a change needed to actually use data. You will find it matters more than you'd like. We
