It is definetly the superior plug for everything outdoor and or higher power.

Its way too bulky for smaller devices.

Here in Germany we have type F and C, where C is used for low power devices and also fits into the F socket, but not the other way around.

So even the type F plug would be too big for smaller devices.

It would be a kinda fun league to watch, but I dont want to hear about athletes dying because they took obscene amounts of steroids to be the best.

As a German, afaik if you want to permanently move to germany you need to prove that you can support yourself financially (or someone else will?), so you will need a job offer and or some savings.

There is no requirement to not be disabled, but being disabled could make fulfilling those requirements more difficult.

They also allow you to plug in a grounded Schuko Plug (Its the german one) without connecting the earth, cant get much more dangerous than that. I think the french plug also can be plugged in but it doesnt connect the earth either.

Wenn du mit schnelleren mithalten musst, ist es natürlich doof. Wenn man den ganzen Tag dafür Zeit hat, sollte das eigentlich möglich sein (solange die 18% nicht die ganze Zeit sind).

Wenn man deutlich mehr als seine “Wohlfühlleistung” treten muss, ist man natürlich schnell schlapp.

Trotzdem muss ich Hut ab sagen, bin dieses Jahr auch nur einmal bisher 100km gefahren (allerdings größtenteils flach).

Everything can go wrong in one way or another, it just depends how high the risk is. People drive their car every day, even if there is a chance that they wont make it to the next day because of it.

But the risk just isnt felt to be too high in comparison to the usefulness, or people wouldnt drive.

If I knew that it was fairly safe to go to the moon, I would do it, even if it could mean that I dont come back, because it would be a pretty special experience.

Here in Germany some McDonalds and Burger King do have self serve drink machines with unlimited drinks, but they are not that many (I would guess 10-20%). Some other fast food chains are more likely to have them, like Subway.

That is mostly there for another reason, to distinguish between different voltages.

When a connector is meant for a different voltage the Earth connector (which is thicker than the rest) gets moved along the circle so it would be impossible to plug it into one with a different voltage. The nub stops you from just turning the plug to make it fit.

Greetings from Germany from someone who has used these quite a few times, mostly 16A and 32A variants and has never seen a locking one.

Smaller companies still cant fire you any time, they have to have a valid reason as well.

I dont know if they have all the metal you want, but maybe Youtube Music. One youtuber has stated that he gets about twice as much per view from YT Music than he does from Spotify.

Have you ever tried just pulling it back a little bit before you pee?

Thats what I do when its cold outside and I want to pee, but not on me.

When I was younger it sometimes looked like the whole room was gigantic (bigger than any building in existence) when I was laying in bed in the evening.

It made me feel kind of uneasy, but nowadays this happens very rarely to me.

Yeah, while the roads in the Netherlands are definetly better than ours in Germany, the Belgian roads are just so much worse.

I think those markings are not because you need to know in which country you are, but because they want to show their borders for a few reasons:

It is cool.

It shows their heritage and identity as a border town.

It helps tourism.

I have 10kwh of storage, which helps a lot, and it wasnt that expensive, especially compared to a few years ago.

Now that sodium ion batteries are actually starting to become available we will see them taking over stationary storage, but for now LiFePo4 works pretty good.

Thats a little bit less than my solar house install has produced in the last year, and it was only up for half of it.

Just imagine how much fossil fuels we could save if everyone had solar on their roofs and if wind power would be more widespread as well.

Just because they have been supported by the US for a longer time.

I am not a fan of sending them anything, but that doesnt mean that they get more than ukraine this year and for the past 5-10 years, which is what you should compare.

Here in Germany you can decide how long you want your rates to be fixed, with the tradeoff being that longer times of fixed rates usually have slightly higher rates (in German its Zinsbindung).

I am lucky and happy that I chose to do 30 years fixed rates, after those 30 years I only have like 2k€ left anyway, so it doesnt matter what rates I get then really.

Then you can just install something else on it?

I get that it sucks when a device is locked, because you might need to install a different OS for a multitude of reasons, but as long as you are able to install whatever you want I dont blame the manufacturer.

You can install whatever you want on a Steam Deck afaik, so I dont get what you are trying to say here.
