My thoughts haha. Downvotes incoming

I understand my post was not confusing. I was questioning why you need to pay twice for a service…

That the delivery was scheduled at that time is a whole other level. Crazy stuff!

Maybe give me the benefit of doubt and don’t interpret things? I meant that the service was already paid for by the sender and now somebody has to pay again? Seems strange to me at least…

I mean the sender already did, right?

Yeah in what world do you need to pay to get your parcel delivered ???

ficke herum und finde heraus? Oder ist das schon fest verankert?!

Ich bin spät dran. Aber eine wichtige Info: https://sprichwortrekombinator.de/

Business hours as in rural California where restaurants close at 7 pm? But you are right, vacation is pretty great here…

It happens so faaaast

Looks like this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parthenocissus_tricuspidata

Our family home in Germany is completely covered in it…

Du hast recht. Aber vielleicht hat spahn hier recht und man muss einen Zwischenschritt gehen.

Love it, thanks!

Great work! Do you have some more pics or maybe even a video?

Sure it can. Battery state, temperature and all is controlled by software…

If you are comparing gas to heat pump efficiency, it is more like 85-90% vs 350-500% efficiency.

Because in the gas furnace efficiency they only calculate the efficiency of burning gas but miss to include the auxiliary electricity that is needed to run the system.

In a heat pump system everything (running fans etc.) is included in the efficiency calculation. The efficiency itself is depending on the source of the heat pump. In a really harsh climate a ground / geo thermal source might make sense. But usually the average temperature is higher than you might think.

And for the environmental effect: modern gas power plants run at 50-60% efficiency so with a heat pump you are always burning less gas even if the gas plant is less efficient then the gas furnace.

It would be interesting to know what extreme cold means.

For extra fun preheat the plates with the water from the pasta. Additionally the pasta water can be added to most sauces to make them more thick.

Just don’t.

Okay lets see. What I meant is: at its time, the Ariane 5 was a great program. Now is a different time. Now we have got SpaceX (and RocketLab etc.) and at the same time the Ariane 6 is already outdated before it is ever launched. At the same time, the Ariane 6 program has run into major delays, so it is not even clear when the first launch will be – probably 2024.

Reusable rocket technology is where it’s at if we as Europeans want to stay relevant in the commercial launch sector.

The Soyuz is not a bad rocket, neither is the Ariane. It is just that technology has advanced quite significantly in the last few years. And rockets are just a (very visible) part of space technology.

I somewhat agree. The only way forward in most areas would be European projects. But we are lacking competent and agile institutions. They got so big and bloated – that for me it looks like they are not able to reform themselves. So first we need good (european) organizations, then we can pour the money over them…
