Interesting idea. The thermo cam shows a consistent stripe of cool area where the seal sits all around the window. Not sure...

Couldn't solve this as well so far. Looking at it with a thermal camera in cold weather revealed insufficiently insulated windows as the root cause. Basically the frame holding the glass sandwich itself is thermally too conductive at the seam, which tends to be a lot colder than the rest. If the difference is too low, condensations forms depending on the current dew point in your room. As a rule of thumb, if you have 22°C inside and 59% relative humidity, you have a dew point of around 14°C. If your insulation on the windows gets below that, humidity condensates there first. Airing out the room can help lower the dew point, but usually that's barely enough.

The only fixes to lower the dew point are reducing relative humidity to inhumane levels (below 30% relative) or increasing the room temperature by alot (more than 25°C), all combined with several airing out of the room for 5 minutes 3x daily all winter.

Other things to do are identifying and monitoring high-humidity rooms nearby. Most likely your bath with a shower inside. If you have a "dark bathroom", meaning now windows and just a vent, switch the vent for a humidity-controlled version and dial it in on around 63% humidity. Install a vent in the door near the bottom as well if not existent already, since a closed door chokes the vent. Once the door opens, water vapor enters the flat/house and raises the humidity quickly.

The only ultimate solution to this is replacing the entire windows with three-panel versions in properly insulated frames, reducing constant water vapor sources like in baths and kitchens using whatever venting methods work best there and lastly (most likely impossible due to cost if you are not considering building a new house) switch from traditional radiation heaters to an air conditioning heating/cooling solution which levels out most of the humidity issues electrically.

On e cigarettes specifically, after having watched bigclive dismantle lots of them, showing that they are practically just a few tiny cheap components away from being rechargeable and refillable (and they can indeed almost all be recharged and refilled), I guess manufacturers simply saw a market for it. It's stupid from start to finish, but then again cigarettes as a whole are stupid.

Actually, some of them aren't remotely placed correctly.

Ich komme auf 450€ plus Sprit mit ner 6 Jahre alten gebrauchten E-Klasse. Hatte das mal basierend auf meinen Vorgänger-Autos (auch gebrauchte E-Klassen) durchgerechnet und bin im Schnitt auf grob 400~500€ gekommen dafür dass die Karre einfach nur im Hof steht. Die Bedingungen dafür sind jedoch: Kein Neuwagen, mindestens 4 Jahre alt, nicht älter als 18 Jahre wegen danach zu stark schwankender Variablen. Jeweils ohne Sprit. Also einfach nur fahrbereit dort stehen.

Würde auch echt gerne Bahn fahren, wenn mich das nicht die 4-fache Zeit kosten würde (2 Stunden statt 30 Minuten). Außerdem bin ich noch immer sauer nach der Aktion, wo ich für einen Tag mit Öffis fahren 160€ gelöhnt hab und die keine Einsicht hatten. Hab denen mittlerweile mehrere Tausend Euro in Form von Monatsabo nicht mehr gegönnt. Erst jetzt mit 49€-Ticket macht es Sinn, für mehr als 2x im Monat Öffis fahren das Deutschlandticket zu kaufen, weil das billiger als 3 Tagestickets hier ist.

Gentoo... oh my. I vividly remember installing it as Stage 1 on a then-budget Laptop in 2003 or so. Sure, great performance for what that device was capable of. But 24 hours compiling time until I had a desktop... Oh and all the fun of dependency resolving with emerge. @OP, alternative title:

hell

I wish I could do that. Unfortunately my rented flat requires 23°C of heating to prevent mold thanks to bad windows that cannot be fixed due to the house community not wanting to pay for replacing them. And yes I'm practicing proper venting, supported with several devices for timing. I'm so glad I'll be moving out soon.

Well, he made that dishwasher video a few years ago, sooo...

Hab mal die PDF durch chatPDF gejagt und selber ein wenig quergelesen. Da werden ein Haufen Statistiken genommen und eigene Berechnungen angestellt, stellenweise gänzlich ohne Quellenangaben einfach Daten als "eigene Berechnung" angegeben und generell kein Background angegeben. Qualitativ ist diese Einzelstudie echt schwierig einzuschätzen, da müsste jemand mal drübergehen, der auch thematisch sich sonst so mit den Themen darin befasst. Inhaltlich gibt es auch Probleme. Die Aussagen im Artikel passen laut chatPDF gar nicht zu dem Inhalt der Studie. Alles irgendwie komisch.

Also falls wer Zeit hat, mal alles komplett zu lesen (ja, die ganzen 90 Seiten der Studie und den Newsartikel) zwecks Vergleich - ich wäre dankbar für eine menschliche Überprüfung. Hab selber leider nicht die Zeit dafür. Muss arbeiten, um den langen Pendlerweg zu erwirtschaften, weil Homeoffice ja nicht mehr hip ist und Büroarbeit cool auch wenn es sonst keine Vorteile für niemanden gibt und alle weniger produktiv sind.

I got that T-Shirt reference

Also my favorite tidbit from the comments there:

spoilerToei Animation had to warn the Mexican government not to air the last episode of Dragon Ball Super in plazas across Mexico's cities (which was promptly ignored) and was a huge event across the country at the time. Bars had watch parties and there was a flyer that got popular which read "free dances for everyone if Goku wins this epic battle."

Dragon Ball is a second religion.

Zucker ist schlimmer als Rauchen, Koffeinkonsum und Alkohol. Die Ähnlichkeit im Metabolismus von Zucker und Alkohol bei leichtem Überkonsum ist gruselig.

Was about to ask which extension can spoof Browser Strings for specific sites.

Good ol' uBlock counters yet again. We gotta protect that extension and all the filter list maintainers.
