One of the implementations I’ve seen is just a pretty much regular truck with a crane like arm that contains the concrete hose and pump[0]. So not long, I take it. [0] https://www.bft-international.com/imgs/1/5&#x2

To my knowledge, the A-G energy rating is a rolling standard. It gets a little bit tougher to make A grade every year. NCAP works the same way.

It's all about charger coverage. As a large group we rented 2 Volkswagen ID.4's in Norway over the Christmas holidays (think -4 degrees F so we were getting about half the advertised range) and it was never a limiting factor. Anyw

They're probably referring to the official city limits, which can be tiny, as opposed to the total Dallas metro area. The latter is what people actually tend to think of when mentioning a city. I might be wrong though as I know nothing

So I've thought about this before because the city I'm in has received the same critique. I'm in a 200-something thousand population city that's carrying a billion in debt, so about 5K EUR per inhabitant. Given your numb

Selling a put has a fixed downside, so perhaps selling a naked call would be more appropriate? Unlimited loss potential! :^)

I miss mine too, same thing goes for the seats. Modern car seats are so stiff, I'm sure it's a safety thing but I miss the good old cloth sofas the ZX had. I would've driven it into the ground but low emission zones happened

I'm surprised a ZX was more expensive than a 2CV. Over here in Belgium you can get a ZX for 500 bucks no problem, whereas the 2CV is a coveted classic that sells for multiple thousands.

3 bedrooms plus a bath on 55 sq/m sounds pretty tightly packed huh, mind sharing a listing? I’m quite curious as to the layout. I’m in Belgium where we’ve historically built larger than necessary apartments (and houses) so there’s a de

How do you deploy workloads to your clusters then? `kubectl apply -f`? Another form of CI/CD? Assuming you have some sort of build pipeline that also pushes to your cluster, Flux does the same thing whilst ensuring whatever was pushed

I'm in Belgium and we have the same law, so I'm willing to assume the nuances of this law are also similar: Not being allowed to point at public space only applies to always-on security cameras, which a video doorbell technically

The port would report them to the part of the police that’s not corrupt, which as a Belgian, I like to think is most of the Antwerp police. I have a hard time believing this story to be honest, most police corruption here would probably be

I’ve been to a good amount of Italian cities and would agree it’s the same mess of cars all over the place, like anywhere else. I also went to Rome for the first time half a year ago and it wasn’t the mess of cars and Vespas I imagined it w

Reddit has this problem and it ultimately drove me (and I'm sure many others) away, it seems like you can't have a nuanced opinion, and god forbid if you have an opinion that goes against the grain of a sub. FWIW, Wikipedia also h

Your dreams can be any passion or hobby, if it's a relatively fleeting one that's fine too. I restored a motorcycle last year, it was a great outlet, but I wasn't actually very into riding it in the end and dropped it. Onto t

Some countries have taken steps to curb loot boxes, Belgium comes to mind and games like the Diablo mobile one aren’t even available to play there because of the regulations.

What's the nuance between Georgist and Georgism that I'm missing here causing me to misinterpret what the GP is saying? English is not my native language but a Georgist would be a person subscribing to (or in the case of the G

I know, except the parent was saying Monopoly is like Georgism, which it isn't.

Except the way the game is played doesn't implement Georgism, or am I not getting it right? It goes buy once, seek rent forever. If Monopoly was Georgism you'd be paying taxes representing the potential value of your color/la

This already exists to some degree in the form of the HICP [0]. One of the categories in the index is food and they have a neat little tool where you can compare countries [1]. It doesn't cover every single product on shelves though, j
