Thank you for the details. We have district heating here and no EV, that makes a big difference! We use about 15MWh of district heating each year but less than 2MWh of electricity. Our house is from the 70s, but have decent insulation, could be better though

I’m curious, do you know how much you use for heating, cooling and the EV? I supposed those are the big differences to my household.

Interesting. They could supply my household for 20 years on a full charge. I’m missing a count on how many households they can supply with sun power during the night. Also how does this hold up vs. kinetic storage? (pumping water uphills) Seen from a global perspective storing power in li-ion seems bonkers, since it would probably drive lithium prices up to a point where it’s no longer economically viable, but ofc. they sit on much of the supply chain over there…

Our danish national news had a documentary about similar problems recently: (article in danish): https://www.dr.dk/nyheder/viden/klima/ikea-elsker-trae-i-deres-reklamer-men-eksperter-kalder-deres-skovdrift

Jeg forstår det sådan, at fidusen med EU-løsningen skulle være, at der er en form for anonymitet, så en 3. part står for verificeringen og at en sådan potentiel nyopstartet side ikke modtager de personlige oplysninger. Prompt har en udsendelse om det: https://www.dr.dk/lyd/special-radio/prompt/prompt-2025/chatgpt-5-boernefilter-og-apple-bestikkelse-11802521033

 

Some of their stuff seems very popular, but i’m always a little distrustful, when i can’t figure out the business model of some org. They list 10 people involved - how do they make money?

Well even very broken toes only get some tape and advice about wearing stiff shoes, so it would probably not have made much difference anyway. The one exception being large fractures involving the joints in the big toe.

I guess it’s because i vibrate the mold and not the mix directly as others have suggested

The next one did only get slightly better :( I vibrated it something like two minutes with the saw. Could it be bubbles forming from the mix? Maybe something about the plasticizer? Anyway i kinda don’t want to keep redoing this, i’m thinking about filling the holes and using it anyway, though it might crack due to freezing temperatures at some point i guess…

// Edit: specified that it was maybe slightly better

Thank you for the elaborate response. The second batch is now vibrated a whole lot more than the first one and i weighed the mixed beforehand. It’s just a premixed bag for setting posts i’ve used. 0-8mm. It’s really a pleasure to see the concrete vibrate into place. I am curious whether i’ve now also vibrated the pour down between the two parts of the mold too… We’ll see in a few days i guess.

Ty, used spray oil, seemed to work ok

I forgot i had this, will try it though the frequency is probably lower than what you suggest.

 

All recommendations are welcome. In particular how to vibrate a two part mold without it breaking apart. I did not weigh the mix and water, but i suspect i used too much water. Also added about 2% plasticizer.

 

I replaced this battery last fall, but it has drained over the winter. The auto-mower dock wont charge it. Is there any feasible way to charge it safely? Or is it dead at that voltage? It’s a Bosch Indego 400. Thanks in advance.

 

Glued acrylic plates together with Acrifix and fixed them to a retractable shelf for our trash. The plates are attached with two screws and silicone caulk.
