    Yeah I’m no expert, but this looks like extrution issue to me too.

    My H2S looked similar in one corner, as the bowden tube from the factory is a tad bit to short, so the feed was uneven when it was curved/stretched to the max.
    Replaced it with a 3 cm longer one, and it worked fine again.

    I’d try a cold pull, then smaller test pieces. No point printing the whole bed when the issues are everywhere. When it’s nice, test the whole plate.

    Good luck!




  • I can’t comment on connectivity, as that is a personal preference.
    I respect it though, but have given up myself.
    Having a safer car with creature comforts outweighs the benefit of complete privacy for me. I’d probably think differently if I didn’t have a familiy to keep safe….

    Regarding range: 500+ km is super nice, but not necessary for most people. Our shortest range EV is 406 WLTP, so realistically only 300 in winter conditions. That’s 2-3 hours of driving between every charge stop, which we need to do to eat/relax/use the bathroom anyways.
    In summer it’s even further.
    Charging takes 15-30 minutes, depending on SoC when we stop.

    For any trip shorter than this and in every day life, we don’t need to stop at all as I can charge both at home and at work.
    I get that might not be the case for most people, of course.


  • Just sit down and stop lying.

    For those who can’t read Norwegian: Nationally, 98,6% of ALL cars sold in Norway in April this year were electric.
    In every single fylke (state/region), the percentage was over 95%. He’s referencing total car pool, whick takes 20 years to replace.

    This guy is full of shit for some unknown reason, but he’s sticking to it.

    EV’s work fine in cold climates as proven every god damn winter in the Nordic countries alone.

    I’m out if this dumb argument now. You were wrong, shit happens. Stop spreading lies in the future just because you like changing oil and spending all your savings on servicing your old fosil cars. The rest of us live in the present






  • Not 100% for me, but probably 50% of the time on the road and in hotels.
    I used these years to save as much as I could before changing to a office role.

    It was amazing as a young man, getting to see the world and being paid to do it, but all the things people envy about travel gets incredibly boring fast.
    Lounge access, hotel upgrades, nice rental cars…. Once you’ve done it 10 times, it’s just another day at work.

    Hotel breakfast will never be something I look forward to again, and that actually makes me a bit sad as it used to be the highlight of vacations.

    My advice: if you’re young, save as much as you can as this lifestyle matches poorly with a partner and children. You will be happy you did when you get tired of missing all birthdays and events and swap to anormal hours with (often) less pay.

    Otherwise: enjoy it! Traveling us fun, but make sure to set up some «you-time» where you explore and enjoy where you are. Try local food and turn off the brain for a few hours, so your only memory won’t be the office building you visited



  • Yeah they recommended the same alkylate here.

    I have to admit: I know very little of GM engines, and they sell very few cars here. It’s becoming even less relevant as EV’s are just dominating completely, passing 97% here last month.
    For me personally it’s the snow blower and motorcycles, but both of those are new enough to handle E10. I still give them 98 as they sometimes have to sit idle due to weather, and we have winter from October to April.

    I’ve heard the same about petrol being stored, but I’ve never had issues either. At least a year seems to be more than OK, but that is always 98.
    95 E10 might be worse as it absorbs water over time…
    Hope your rototiller works fine next time you use it !





  • I’d say both yes and no.

    Not as dependant on it to completely hit the definition, but it’s still a relatively high source of income.
    The big difference is that our income is invested globally through Oljefondet (Statens Pensjonsfond Utland), so today we are much more vulnerable to financial instability than we are to fluctuating oil and gas prices.

    Export prices are not that high as there are pipelines in the North Sea and relatively short trips to our European neighbours, but our extraction price is on average about twice that of e.g. Saudi, at about $20-25 per barrel vs $10.
    Still a lot lower than in the US and UK.

    Another upside is that the North Sea oil is relatively light and sweet, making it easier and cheaper to crack into sellable products.

    Hope I answered all your questions, if not just ask again.
