>Regionalverkehr Köln (RVK) has become the largest operator of hydrogen fuel cell buses in Europe, with a fleet that reached 101 vehicles by late 2024 and is expected to grow to 160 by the end of 2025.

I mean, right from the second section of the article.

Pretty sure your source is wrong. And that helium is 10_$_ a liter not 10¢. As helium is much, much more expensive than argon.

Not much different than everyday on sites everywhere with boom cranes. Which are arguably much more dangerous due to being less dexterous and no video. Notably 1:23 where it's similar to working with a crane.

The old 'Plebs are needed' from Caesar II still burnt into my brain.

The amount of detail and information thrown into the game and the manual.

One has to think of the overhead.

Cutting and stacking(or picking up/delivered), the space to store it, having to carry it into the house, emptying your ashbox, having to actual start the fire, etc.

Always just saw their power tools as 'better' ryobi stuff. But with Ryobi's draw being cheapness, battery compatibility and unique tools.

However they're the defacto when it comes to pipe. Real quality heavy rigid stuff.

While the website seems very fluff, the concept of hand health can't be overstressed.

Keep care of your hands and wrists. If you feel pain or discomfort, stiffness etc figure out why and fix it. Whether it's keyboard/desk etc change. Or taking breaks and stretching.

Those suffering later stages of hand/wrist strain or wear... look into: wrist straps, wax baths, heated 'wax gloves'

this also gives rise to ununionized outfits as well. as theyre able to keep wages lower and bid more competitively.

Lot of talk about bicycle chains, not sure if they use o/x-ring chains. But here's a well put together video on chain lubrication.

There better stuff, sure. I use better stuff now but all the miles I got outta on dirtbike & bicycle chains as a kid. Handy to carry a little bottle in a toolkit as well.

Also excellent lube when working with aluminum(drilling, machining, etc).

I thought $200 for the Thinkpad Designer's was expensive. Then I saw the price of the Giannina.

I'm sure the locking mechanism and aesthetics are much better, and they're a pleasure to use. But something about a $10 thrift store moka pot works well. And no qualms about taking it on a camping trip, to use over a fire.

I find it's always the cables that go. Thus buying a set with a removable cable sent me from 6 months to 5 years with a pair of Shure se215's. There's many more options today, as (removable)wired IEM's seem to be abit of a growing niche.
