Khan academy got me through the end of high school and engineering. It really made the concepts a lot more understandable than the lecturers.

If it's content is still up to scratch, I hope it's getting the recognition it deserves!

I would argue all connected cars have become that. If you're buying anything newer than 2015, in all likelihood it's a spyware filled go-kart.

Not linked to your identity...

Identifiers..

This seems contradictory. I'll avoid them for now, thanks!

I'm curous about these, how is the privacy on the apps? Having my data mined from my lightbulbs is my last consideration against taking the step tbh

Awesome, thanks for the info. Really appreciate it!

Much appreciated. There's a few brands relatively new to the EU e.g Haier. Any thoughts on their quality? Or is this something you really can't go cheaper on?

You mean more frequently meaning smaller loads, right? At the moment it's about one 8kg load every 1.5 days, so in winter it's not long enough to dry. Might try a fan setup in the immediate term though and see how it goes.

I looked at those and figured the additional cost, plus only one load being washed at a time may be a bit annoying... But realistically, I'll have to see if one load per day is enough. Thanks!

EU based, but thanks for the message either way!

 

We have finally reached the point where we no longer have enough space to dry our clothes indoors, and will need to invest in a dryer.

We have a washing machine in our bathroom (also small) so the dryer would ideally go under/over that.

Does anyone have experience building or buying an appropriate stand? The dryer and washing machine will likely weigh about 50-60kgs each.

Hard disagree. Tipping should be abolished and restaurants forced to pay a living wage should be the only regulation around tipping.

I have a life to attend to.

In theory, similar bans should apply to all harmful substances e.g. fizzy drinks, alcohol, fast food etc. This is obviously an extreme take and difficult, if not impossible, to do in practice.

I also drink, have consumed illegal substances and consume fast-food on a rare basis.

My reasoning is that I do not want extensive costs being lumped into the general public to pay for the needed health care, due to the availability of harmful, non-beneficial products in our society. I do not believe extra tax on these products is appropriate or sufficient as these products tend to be used by those with lower education or lower income groups - and it is not fair to further burden these groups in life.

 

I have a mech engineering background and have been tasked to look into electromagnetic product design in the coming years.

Before I dive deep and tackle this change, I would like a refresher on electromagnetic radiation, especially low power applications. Massive bonus points if there are any resources which include regulation too.

Anyone got any worthwhile resources?
