Similar for meat, I try to eat less of it and everything we buy is biologically produced. The price difference is decreasing compared to just 2 years ago. Maybe it's a combination of increasing cost on the non-bio side of things and in

Killing the chickens was required of them by the government (as it has over here in Europe for several locations, for the same reason). But they decided to do it in the cheapest way possible, because shutting down the environmental control

Very much so. I have the daycare in my ring-through settings, they rarely call but if they do it's because there is something wrong. Most people understand that you want to take that call, but some don't. And those are the kinds o

Absolutely, and my home automation setup in total also uses more power than what this trick is saving. But it's there anyway because I want an automated home, and then this is a simple rule to save some otherwise wasted energy that tak

Yes, with the TV thing set to "off" which really isn't that off.

I've done a bit of unscientific plugging and unplugging ;-) The TV box is using 15ish watts so that's a bit part. My router + fiber termination point are using 18W continuous, but that's not included in this 35, they're

The author acts as if it's all bullshit, but actual measurements in my house disagree. I have a new (2021) 4k "sky box" from my ISP, a relatively new Android TV (2020), a PS4, a Logitech Harmony hub and a lan switch plugged i

It's not about Amazon ratings (stars) on the site, it's about album sales numbers for the "top 100" kind of lists. So they can't really take that back after an album has been top seller in a certain week.

I had an i5 9600k that ran 5ghz all cores, and swapped to the i7 12700k. The i7 is still a lot faster out of the box and I undervolted it a bit while running at 5.1 ghz so it's also very quiet.

Only in the US, in Europa that wouldn't pass consumer protection laws.

Thanks. It's unfortunate that is has to be so polarised. In the end a more inclusive society is good for everyone, but if your only options are "fuck yourself over" vs "avoid all progress" then not a lot of good is

I'm not American, so I'm not as deep into the exact political party differences, but why do you think that's the solution?

Thermal imaging is easy from a helicopter or survey aircraft, that's enough to find likely locations for plantages.

The Cirrus Vision jet is a very different market, that's made for owners that want to fly it themselves. They made it for hobby pilots that learn in the SR20/SR22 and then upgrade to the jet. It is designed to make that transition

The 6 in-line is the least vibrating one of the options, but the 4 is very close.

Google doesn't like collecting data for the Chinese government, but at the same time they collect everything they can get their hands on for their own benefit. And let's not forget that the US government has access to Google'

Absolutely. Kids can be physically more tiring because you're carrying them often, they create a lot more household cleanup kind of work and sometimes keep you up at night. But playing with them, reading them a book etc is such an amaz

Maybe that becomes possible at some point? A long time ago we needed 7 days a week to farm or hunt enough food to survive. With technological advancements we may be at a point where we need near 0 work days to feed everyone and create a com

I've seen several cases here where going from 40 to 32 hours to have time for kids (very very common in NL) has kept the same or better productivity. Of course those were all desk jobs, where it's not about exactly how many hours

The proposal isn't a paycut right? As written employees keep the same pay but work 32 hours instead of 40.

Still mandatory to be proficient in English. EASA makes everyone pass an English exam, including private pilots.

Note that the rest of the posts after him disagree and point out that they were on a stable approach to the left most runway and the aircraft then turned a lot more to the left. That's not something that would happen if it was only a w

It comes with practice and ATC recordings sound way worse than how it sounds in the aircraft. Because it's recorded with a basic radio on the ground (causing much more interference) instead of a much better one that's up in the ai

It disengages when you fight it. With the associated and very recognizable autopilot disengage sound. I'm sure there is more to this story than "crew mistake" as some seem to imply here.

by t0mas88 5y ago
Very very unlikely. Every pilot knows exactly how to disconnect the autopilot, we train things like autopilot failure and recently trim runaway (which is closely related) in the sim. Nobody would be screaming "stop it, stop it" in

English is one of the official ICAO languages and it's mandatory for all pilots at least in EASA and FAA rules to be English proficient. But as far as I know it's not forbidden to use any of the other languages if both controller
