  • Måske man skulle genoverveje det. Jeg har en del bekendtskaber i Thy og omegn, og de undgår for alt i verden Thisted Sygehus pga kvaliteten af behandlingen og de historier der fortælles. Sygehuset burde enten opprioriteres gevaldigt, eller omlægges til et sundhedshus. At have en ortopædkirurg på vagt 24/7 giver ikke bedre kvalitet, for hvem gider køre helt derud fra Aalborg? Ikke de dygtigste læger.

    I min bekendtskabskreds har jeg to personer, der uafhængigt af hinanden, og med års mellemrum, blev tilset i Thisted efter uheld. I begge tilfælde overså ortopæderne brud på nakke- og/eller ryghvirvler.





  • Then why do we use them on our assholes?

    The epithelial cells keep reproducing, so any cells your tear off while wiping gets replaced.

    But I still concur: it’s 2025, we sent people to the moon almost 60 years ago, we built a world wide computer network, and I can watch porn on a little plastic rectangle, using wireless headphones, so nobody notices that I’m jerking off on the bus (ok, that last part isn’t true, they definitely did notice, and I’m not allowed to drive the school bus anymore /s) … still though, we’ve come so far, and we’re still wiping our asses with dried tree mush? Wtf? At least we’re not using the toilet brush like the Romans, but how about we tried something other than scraping feces from our skin? Maybe a build in bidet? I have never found them in the wild, but when I do, I can guarantee that I’m trying out the warm water and blow dryer options… Maybe while using my wireless headphones and plastic rectangle ;-)

    Are we stupid? (don’t answer that)

    Yes (sorry, too stupid to understand rhetorical questions)





  • First rule of PETG-club is “dry your filament”, second rule of PETG-club is “dry your filament”… Thrid rule? Nope, it’s “store your filament dry”

    Jokes aside, other things you could look at:

    • nozzle, how worn is it?
    • calibration tests: did you do a temp tower? Calibration cube? Retraction test?
    • The vertical surface doesn’t necessarily have that appearance as a result of wet filament. In my experience, wet PETG will result in more random variations than that. It looks too regular IMHO, is everything that should be tightened actually tightened?
    • have you calibrated the extruder steps?





  • So which manufacturers should we look at? I’m in the market for a second EV right now. And this is my chain of thought.

    My considerations are:

    • Used cars only, I’m not paying 25% for the privilege of driving the car over the curb for the first time.
    • No Chinese cars. They may be a good deal right now, but China is about to go do something stupid, like fight for the South China Sea or un-secede Taiwan. And then who knows what’s going to happen with parts or if your car suddenly won’t drive because it’s a strategic advantage for China to kill as much infrastructure as possible. Besides some of the military installations (especially airbases) I visit already have areas, where Chinese cars aren’t allowed in, if that becomes the entire installations I will have to walk around.
    • No Teslas. I don’t trust Musk to not revoke licenses or brick the car, and the QC is nonexistent. Besides I’d have to get one of those “I bought my Tesla before we knew he was an asshat” stickers.
    • No Fords, that’s just a rule of thumb for me.
    • Range, I’ve had it with those stupid <50kWh battery packs. I’m not asking for much, just being able to go 300km at highway speeds. Going 90km/h and still have to charge every 150km sucks.
    • Charging system must be CCS2 capable of 3 phases. Fuck Nissan and their stupid single phase type1/chademo solutions , there’s no chademo chargers anywhere. And charging single phase at 3.3kW, when you’re not at home, gets old fast.

    I was looking at Renault Zoe, but after speaking with my local Renault dealer, who has a warranty order in for a simple spare reverse camera, and Renault for 6 months straight now, can’t even tell when they’ll be able to ship it. So Renault is out of the running.

    So what else is there? Must be <5 years old, <20k€, and if it could have some warranty left it would be great. Hyundai Kona is starting to look pretty good right now.




  • Wow, the US education system must be improved.

    I pay my electric bill by the kWh too, and I don’t live in the US. When it comes to household and EV energy consumption, kWh is the unit of choice.

    1J is 3600Wh.

    No, if you’re going to lecture people on this, at least be right about facts. 1W is 1J/s. So multiply by an hour and you get 1Wh = 3600J

    That’s literraly the same thing,

    It’s not literally the same thing. The two units are linearly proportional to each other, but they’re not the same. If they were the same, then this discussion would be rather silly.

    but the name is less confusing because people tend to confuse W and Wh

    Finally, something I can agree with. But that’s only because physics is so undervalued in most educational systems.



  • Fedt /s

    Måske vi skulle begynde at overveje at tænke på at tale om, hvordan vi kan sikre vores undersøiske kabler. Her tænker jeg særligt på det 1,6GW HVDC link vi har til Norge samt kablerne til div. havvindmøller.

    Jeg har ingen ide (det har jeg tydeligvis) om hvordan man kunne gøre det. Jeg antager at man fra politisk side ikke ønsker at udlægge miner, og eftersom vi vidst nok kun har et skib, der kan skyde, og det tilsyneladende både skal patruljere ved Grønland og jage pirater ved Somalia, så skal vi nok til at hitte på noget nyt.

    Vi kunne måske begynde at patruljere med droner? I givet fald kunne vi jo kigge efter droner, der ikke koster 230mio DKK pr stk, som dem vi køber til at patruljere Grønland fra FSN Aalborg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Atomics_MQ-9_Reaper

    Jeg hører at Ukraine kunne have bud på droner, der ikke koster det samme som to stk leopard 2 a7.
