Why would you need a dongle? I never understood this complaint. If you need a dongle you just bought the wrong cable. Instead of a dongle and an HDMI-to-HDMI cable, you could just have gotten a USB-C to HDMI cable.

Same goes for basically every other scenario where people complain about needing dongles.

I’m able to scroll but the submit button is behind the address bar so I can’t press it.

Taking out a loan for something that depreciates as fast as a car seems like the dumbest thing a person could do.

> It's not like driving an EV has any actual downsides Vs a gasoline car any more?

Driving, no. Buying, yes. I bought a used car for €2600 8 years ago and it’s still going strong. That won’t buy me an EV. I drive maybe 1000 kilometers a year, the difference in fuel costs doesn’t make a dent in the difference in the initial purchase.

The Netherlands.

I just contacted a well-reviewed solar installer and they took care of everything.

No, this is a fixed 3-phase setup with export capability.

> I doubt a sub-1 tonne car is going to be pleasant to drive at highway speeds

My car is 945kg and the biggest issue with longer trips is that the chairs aren’t that comfortable. Although at higher speeds it feels a bit dodgy. It does 170 no problem and that feels quite fast already. Top speed is 190 which I only tried once on the autobahn but that’s quite scary. At about 170 acceleration drops significantly and it takes a few minutes to go from 170 to 190. Won’t ever try that again. Cruising at around 150 for several hours is perfectly fine.

That’s absolutely insane. I just had 5400Wp of panels installed with 15kWh of battery storage and it was ~€12k total. The battery was a bit over half of the costs. That’s the total cost, hardware and labour.

No need for permits for rooftop solar and the only dealings I had with the energy company was filling out an online form to register it. Took maybe 2 minutes.

Very useful tool. I’m using this in combination with BetterDisplay to switch between my personal and work laptop.

I have both hooked up to 2 monitors. A shortcut triggers MagicSwitch to switch my keyboard and mouse to the other machine, while it uses BetterDisplay to send a DDC command to the monitors that makes it switch inputs.

Bound the whole thing to a key combo, and now I can easily switch between two machines.

That’s what my doctor said when I came in with a fever that wouldn’t go away. I had some mild discomfort in my side a few days before and based on the location I concluded it was my galbladder. By the time I got to the doctor the discomfort was gone but I still had a fever. He poked me in the side a few times, I didn’t feel a thing, and told me it couldn’t be my galbladder as I would be screaming out in pain if it was.

I insisted it was, so he agreed to do a quick blood test for inflammation markers to easy my mind. Shouldn’t take more than 10 minutes for the nurse to get the results and send me home. 30 minutes later the doctor called me back into the office, apparently my values were off the chart and he already informed the hospital of my arrival.

Spent a couple of hours in ER, where the infected galbladder was confirmed, and was eventually sent home with some antibiotics. Since I wasn’t in pain they preferred not to operate while it was inflamed. Then a year or so later they tried and failed to remove it, but that’s a whole other story.

Because Madoff scammed rich people. You can get away with a lot if you scam the poor. Not so much when you target the wealthy.

On US passports stealing the identity is a possibility as the chip in US passports do not implement any clone detection mechanism.

Networking is handled by WebKit but based on the article it looks like the app configures itself as a HTTP proxy for WebKit and uses that to handle networking.

I wonder how often a medicine that would have worked in humans doesn't transfer to mice, resulting in it being rejected.

Like any Dutch mom would say to their kids complaining about cycling in bad weather: you’re not made of sugar are you? (Meaning: you won’t melt due to a bit of rain, quit being a pussy).
