Since I had my first kid I've seen lots of targeted ads for educational toys on social media. Sometimes it goes to Etsy, sometimes it goes to an individual website. The thing is though, at least half of the ads are for products that yo

I switched to Zoho mail and it works fine for sending/receiving email, but compared to Gmail their clients feel like 1999. The search is terrible (you can't search Archived email) and tags only seem to exist in webmail and are not

The alternatives to Plex are like comparing Linux to MacOS as a desktop OS. If you want to put in the work, you can probably make something work, but it's not going to be a plug and play experience. On the other hand the amount of crud

Is there a better way to catch errors like this? Looking through the PR it looks like this file was accidentally changed, I assume with a project wide search and replace. I could easily imagine myself missing this when reviewing the PR &quo

My city has a lot of roundabouts, some are quite big (~150m diameter) as they are used where two or more main roads meet. When I first came here they usually had three lanes, with the idea that you change lanes as you move through the round

I think you are missing a big understanding of their market. In Europe (Stellantis' primary market) cars are smaller and people spend less than North America, families have less cars, more families live in apartments and the electric c

That's not quite right. In Europe three phase wiring is delivered via a 5 core wire: 3 phases, neutral and earth (ground). You can take any phase wire, and the voltage between that and neutral will be 230V. For higher power devices, th

Does anyone know why North America uses standard drywall for interior walls? It's the same in hotels, and whenever I visit it freaks me out a bit. I don't want to hear what's going on in the room next door. In Europe, interio

If you run a low voltage 24V DC power cable for lighting next to a 220V AC line (I'm in Europe, no idea if 120V does the same) it's quite easy to get a situation where there is enough power for LED lights to be lit even when switc

I drove through Poland a couple of months ago, and was surprised to see quite a few of these on the new highways. Some even had trees on top, so there must be quite a lot of soil there, not a small layer to cover the concrete.

I'm building a house in Northern Europe (-25C / -15F). Those are both the default options here too. Modern air source heat pump systems (e.g. Daikin Altherma) are quiet due to variable speed compressors, work in heat pump mode dow

I'd you combine a heat pump with solar it makes even more sense. I've been building a house in Northern Europe (-25C / -15F in winter) and in 2019 calculated how much it would be to heat with a) natural gas, b) air source hea

This really isn't needed on modern fuel injected vehicles, especially on petrol (gas) vehicles. The only thing you are really heating up is the cabin. Idling for 1-2 minutes when it's below freezing may be beneficial, but leaving

The combination of Brexit, IR35 and COVID seems to have made London based companies a lot more willing to have a remote team across Europe. 5 years ago your only choice was to be in an office in London if you wanted these rates, but now the

A lot of this is very US specific. Large amounts of credit for cheap with little due diligence is not a thing in Europe. The banks in my country do not even offer home equity loans. On the other hand your emergency fund needs to be a lot sm

Yeah that's not gonna happen until October 2024. See GDPR as an example. The regulations were adopted in April 2016, but they didn't become enforceable until May 2018. Most companies didn't even start thinking about it until

It's not a spark, it's a loose connection. This causes higher resistance, which generates heat, which melts the insulation and then makes it worse. Even though it's only 12V, there's enough amps flowing to cause plenty o
