Thelsim@sh.itjust.worksto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's something you had as a kid you wish had modern batteries?7·11 days agoFirst thing that popped into my mind as well.
It was ridiculous how fast it could go through those 6 batteries.
Eventually my parents got sick of having to buy them and I was only allowed to play using a power adapter.
Thelsim@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•When talking to yourself, do you use the pronoun 'I' or 'you'?12·12 days agoI tend to just leave them out all together. Don’t know why though, maybe it’s faster?
It feels a bit like when you read a book fast and skip over entire words.“Need to do some cleaning.”
“How could this be done faster?”
Or a common one:
“Hungry” :)
Thelsim@sh.itjust.worksto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Driving a manual: is it difficult?2·17 days agoIt was just a basic guideline being taught to me back then. And I guess it’s mainly for cruising speeds. You might want to stick with a lower gear for accelerating. There are of course all kinds of exceptions. And NL is basically flat, so I don’t know about hills :)
But the km/h list gives me something to fall back on when in doubt. Driving is stressful enough for me as it is.
Thelsim@sh.itjust.worksto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Driving a manual: is it difficult?21·17 days agoI took my driving lessons with a manual, but have been driving automatic for over a decade now.
Whenever I do need to drive a manual, I usually need a while to get used to it again. At those moments I make use of the guidelines that were taught to me by my driving instructor:- Is for getting the car going and getting in or out of a parking spot.
- Is for speeds up to 25 km/h
- Is for speeds up to 45 km/h
- Is for speeds up to 75 km/h
- Is for anything beyond
It’s a simple helper that matches most of the common speed zones in the Netherlands (30, 50, 80). From what I can quickly read, the 80 zone is 90 in Romania, so it should still work?
Anyway, don’t worry too much. It is also nice not having to drive at all if it comes down to that, your boyfriend’s family sounds nice :)
Enjoy your trip!

Right now it’s these mochi I doodled:
Thelsim@sh.itjust.worksto Europe@feddit.org•How to find jobs in Europe as an American?English7·1 month agoI think an important factor for standing out from the local applicants could be the potential domain knowledge you bring to the table.
Plenty of developers around. But a developer with extensive knowledge and experience with, for example, specific logistic chains is a lot harder to find. In my (limited) experience it is often a reason why an exception for hiring foreign talent is made.
Skills can be learned with a course and a certificate, but domain knowledge comes from hard earned experience in specific industries.
Thelsim@sh.itjust.worksto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•If I snapped you back in time 650 years right this very second, how would you use your current knowledge to succeed?6·1 month ago650 years ago this place was a sea. So I’d end up having to swim at least a couple of kilometers. Considering the current sea temperatures, I’d probably die of hypothermia before I could reach the shore.
Thelsim@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why hasn't bamboo taken over the world?15·1 month agoBamboo rats feed on the underground roots of bamboo plants.
I’m not sure how much of an impact they make, but I can imagine they keep some of the growth in check.
Pfff, that’s nothing. I can easily make it to the top 95% without even trying.
I remember that post! I had a lot of fun generating people’s usernames :)
I guess we can always do another one?
