  4.  @adaroben1104  if you have enough money it can be. It's not that you are not allowed to own one. Only you will need to be some very well of nerd to be willing to spent money on one.

  6.  @TylerShawful  use household vinegar as a fabric softener and it also helps the machine it self clean better. the biggest joke is that the people that sell the machines in a store actually advice you to do so. and every now and then a bit of soda salt and let the machine do a cycle on it's highest temperature setting.

  7.  @kcpwnsgman  just read the instruction manual of your laundry machine it will explain you how you should use it. and if you don't have the paper version ask google they might even have a video explaining how to for your exact machine. But out of the blue if you have a special compartment for the detergent use that. it does not matter if you do that before or after you load in the clothing. it's purposely separated. grease stains after washing could be the detergent it self if you wash at a to low temperature. (I had that my self) some detergent just need a bit warmer water.

  8. @Phillip Banes digital does not have to be better parse. High quality film or even more glass plate pictures taken with a quality camera can be of a higher quality then digital. Also it can be a deliberate act to force your self to be limited with how many pictures you can take. In such a way that you have to think about taking the picture.

  10.  @sacwingedbatsatadbitsad4346  then you could still not use it at home . benzene has the nasty habit for going true your protective gear. at my job (I work at a chemical company the actually makes plastics. (the raw material) (Dow Chemical company) Every time I have to get in contact with a tank or anything that has hold benzene i have to where a full haze mat suite plus have a medical exam before and after going in. benzene is that nasty of a product. ethylene benzene is even worse do to the extra ethylene.

  11. You could also store the ready coffee in to a thermoflasc it keeps the coffee warm for hours while keeping the flavour of it very good.

  12.  @sacwingedbatsatadbitsad4346  no melting any kind of plastic has the bad side effect for being very toxic. I know metal vapours are also not the best but still way less harmful then something like ethylene benzene (main component of most of all the plastics)

  13. well they do exist. what you are looking for is the. Sharp Carousel convection microwave. they sold them back in 1993 and are still running grate to this day. I can now I own one.

  14.  @my3dviews  don't forget the gloves, a fire extinguisher at the ready. (safe for electric fire) a fall safety harness, S3 Safety shoes with rubber insulation. and if you need to work anywhere higher then ground level a cherry picker. ad a safety officer just to be sure. according

  15.  @Esablaka  @naoise122 same in in the Netherlands be it Miele, Bosh, Beco or any other brand. only cold water and only one place for detergent. (all the way back in to the late 1990's ) I do have to say most people I know do pre rinse there most dirty dishes a bit. (sometimes just dumping them in to the sink with a bit of still water will do)

  16.  @trentsullivan2010  well yes. That is the genius part. Is completely passive. So you don't hear anything nor notice anything besides the present ambient temperature.

  17. it's similar in how buildings used to be build in more desert like environments. they build the home to keep heat out during the summer but to also keep it in during the winter.

  18. here in the Netherlands its the opeside or rather it used to be. As natural gas was very cheap to pump up from our local gas fields. electric heating is only now starting to become a thing now that we want to stop using that gas. I am surprised that Norway that has the same gas supply (and even more) did not use it in that way.

  19. no according to mister Celcius the boiling point is 0 and the freezing point is 100. only those pesky French had to change it.

  20. i was more interested in the story about James

  21. here they use those LED strips. they are even cheaper and you can set the colour how ever you like. plus they are so cheap in power consumption that even if you would have them on 24/7 they still don't cost much at all.

  22. i just forgot what ever he was saying and just looked in awe. I had to go back and not watch to hear what he was saying.

  24.  @smithsmithenson9536  the DVD players in those cars where also so that you could combine it with a digital roadmap. Like before the ride you would look up the route you wanted to drive on your computer. drag said file on the dvd. place DVD in car and show that roadmap. if fancy you could use those in combination with radio towers to get a vage idea where you are. (GPS was not that common in privet use)

  25. people that don't like water in there dry humor.

  26.  @emilbovbjerg  in a hotel I can see that being a thing. Often in certain hotels the key can really be in the detail. you could however opt for a version that has a small engraved symbol. so it is less noticeable unless you are looking at the outlet it self

  27. My uncle was actually involved with the development of the CD. He still has the original blue print.

  28. No make it real to real on 88mm

  29.  @christo930  for the bigger long hall trucks it could make it interesting to have a pentagraph on top of the cabin. and make it able to hook to cables above the road. in that way they don't even need to charge that much. they only need to use there batteries when disconnecting from that grid on the high way.

  30. those are being tested on a big scale in in the Netherlands with busses. with those pantographs. in a way they function as a hybrid between a regular bus and a trolley bus. they are charging at the bigger bus stations and at certain places on the route.

  31.  @mfbfreak  here in the Netherlands it's the same. But do to obvious reason no one is allowed to use those sirens for anything else.

  32. wait Van Pelt? that a Dutch name. one of my former teacher had the same last name.

  33.  @Pixelchaos  my mother is also sorry that she gave her old Sharp to me. But i still love it.

  34.  @my3dviews  how could i forget that.

  35. I could ask my uncle he was part of the development team at Phillips. He still has a copy of the original blue print.

  36. if you like those you mind enjoy to play with a old Leica camera. those are old German style models. that where for 1970's standard very modern. (and they still hold up)

  37.  @gorisenke  even the power used for the LED and fan also create (some) heat. even if not it's main focus

  38. why not going big? go with a fog horn. those thing will make people not only hear you but just feel the air moving.

  39.  @teaser6089  Loyed wants to know your location.

  40.  @YelovXD  i don't know if you own the building. But if you do and the roof is a problem. You could putt up isolation on the inside and paint the outside white. Works really well in reflecting sunlight. Even better if you could use reactive panels. They turn white when they get warm but when cold they are black.

  41. I am pretty sure these where sold under a other brand here in the Netherlands. or it was a comparative brand. only it worked more on the basics of punch card system. So you did not even need to type in a code. I was never allowed to play with them myself but I have seen enough of them at friends.

  42. I want a 5 petabyte data storage micro chip for in my mobile. Don't ask why if you are not prepared for the answer.

  43.  @zachfruin7684  how in depth would that be? Would he take us to the mines/oil fields and where else they got the raw material in order to make one functional desk top lamp? That would take a while indeed.

  44.  @christo930  well you would start with just stretches of wired parts. like a rather straight part like a bridge. in a way it could help with the maintenance of said road. as the truck driving company would pay for the energy used. the energy provider has a incentive to maintain at least that part of the road well. and can use the revenue from the power fee. in return the truck driving companies also get back from it as the roads are better kept and they need less stops to power the batteries.

  45. And next week he is going to show us his full working MRI Scan. I mean they only cost about the price of a house i guess.

  46. ​ @_..-.._..-.._  ? nope what? I am pretty sure that Citroën tried to implement that. I am taling about very late 1990 to early 2002 where most still had to use a paper map but some companies dried to sell digital version. Like in the Netherlands the ANWB had a digital version. you just needed to buy the CD with all the roads on it. that cd you would use at home on your pc. select the route you wanted and ether print it out. or some did they to have a way to bring that up on your car system. it would then only use arrows and some names to point you in the direction if you drove the correct road. Don't go off that road because then you are on your own.

  47.  @avirajsinghmehta1857  I had both the Walkman and later the Discman. But then my parents almost exclusively bought Sony items at they where just very reliable back then

  48. and more about the fascinating story that is James

  49. so how much difference is there between these flash bulbs and the even more classical open air flash bang like light source.

  50. for me it is both the name for the car horn and the name of a tv cartoon creature.
