Every European drying rack is the answer to a math problem Americans never have to solve.
Spain residential power runs €0.29/kWh. Germany €0.38. Texas runs $0.13. A conventional dryer eats roughly 4 kWh per cycle, so a single load costs €1.16 in Madrid vs $0.52 in Houston. Five loads a week, 52 weeks, you're at €300/year in Spain vs $135 in Texas just to spin a heated drum.
Stack the appliance economics. EU energy efficiency rules pushed cheap vented dryers off shelves years ago. The replacement is the heat pump dryer, which uses 50-60% less energy but retails €800-1500 vs $400 for a US vented unit. Worse upfront cost, worse running cost.
Then the apartment constraint. Most European flats don't have venting infrastructure and don't have a dedicated laundry room. The washer sits in the bathroom or kitchen. There's no space for a second machine even if the running cost made sense.
The drying rack costs €30. Lasts a decade. Uses zero electricity.
What you're looking at is a household that ran the numbers and refused to spend €2,000+ over ten years to dry clothes 6 hours faster than physics does for free.
The Texan at $0.13/kWh in a 200 sqm house was always buying the dryer. The Spaniard at €0.29/kWh in an 80 sqm flat was always buying the rack.

Jeder normale, motivierte Mensch sollte in der Lage sein Stoff bis Klasse 10 zu unterrichten, wenn er sich angemessen vorbereitet.
Bildungspflicht statt Schulpflicht ist so ungewöhnlich nicht. Begleitende Externenprüfungen sichern den Lernfortschritt. Eine schulische Wochenstundenzahl kann gar nicht der Maßstab sein, weil man in einer großen Klasse viel langsamer vorankommt. Zuhause lernen ist individuelle Förderung - etwas, das das Schulsystem in dieser Form nie erreichen wird.
Wenn das Abitur angestrebt wird, kann man bei Bedarf immer noch vom Homeschooling in die Oberstufe wechseln.

@Romy_Holland Idk what Ferber is but it's super important for parents to have boundaries. Even if something is "not good" for your baby you are still allowed to do it. Very little creates lasting damage

i see ppl talking about their babies waking up hourly at like 10 months. my baby went from doing this and acting like his crib was a vat of snakes to smiling and babbling happily every time we plop him in his crib because of one week of ferber.
the discourse around ferber traumatizing kids is a lie and is outright ruining ppl’s lives. my baby loves going to sleep now. his total crying per day was reduced by *hours* and my sanity fully restored. you’re not doing your kid any favors by not letting them learn self-soothing.

@Romy_Holland @ToriHar45141631 This sounds absolutely horrible. Your poor Baby.

ferber involved about 8 minutes of crying each night for under a week. we comforted him every few minutes throughout. he was crying for 20 minutes while we rocked him before that. after ferber he never cries and very happily falls asleep on his own. he’s clearly much happier on net now and i’m so happy we made the choice to teach him self soothing so he cries a lot less every day than he used to.

The video recaps a Desperate Housewives S7 storyline. Gaby & Carlos’s biological daughter (Grace) was switched at birth in the hospital by a drunk nurse with Juanita (the girl they raised). Juanita is actually the bio kid of Hector & Carmen Sanchez.
They track down Grace, meet her family, and Gaby bonds hard—she looks just like her. Carlos wants to keep it secret at first. After drama (including a hospital mix-up reveal and legal stuff), they decide not to swap the girls back. Juanita stays with them as their daughter by heart; Grace stays with the Sanchez family.
They also have a younger bio daughter, Celia, later. Juanita & Celia look alike as raised sisters, which is why the “if swapped, how does her sister look like her?” confusion hits. Classic soap twist.

Ihr habt mir auch bei der letzen Wahl nicht gegeglaubt. Aber Fakt ist: hätte die FDP 0,4% mehr geholt, hätten die schrecklichen Sozen DEUTLICH weniger Einfluss.
Aber stark 💪🏼 wie ihr den Altparteien mit der Stimme für die AfD einen echten Denkzettel verpasst habt 👌🏼

@PrishaMosley @Gruman612888 Do you think there are some rare cases of real gender dysphoria in the form of a psychiatric disease? I think so, but I am not trans nor detrans, so I would appreciate your opinion on this topic.

@Gruman612888 Trans doesn’t exist. Every human feels uncomfortable with themselves sometimes. It’s not a pathology.

I lost my mom when I was 38 weeks pregnant with my second baby.
I can’t even explain how insane it feels to read mom groups, mom Reddit threads, and mommy Twitter rants right now.
Women complaining about their mothers for
- calling “too much”
- kissing or hugging their toddlers
- wanting to see the kids
- moving closer just to be around them
- buying non-aesthetic toys (seriously?)
It is so unbelievably ungrateful.
What makes it worse is seeing this come from conservative spaces that constantly preach about how motherhood is everything. The same women posting “nothing replaces you as a mom” are turning around and threatening to cut off their own mothers… over Paw Patrol t-shirts???
So what is your mom now, then? Suddenly not a mom anymore? Not allowed to love you, to show up, to be involved, just because you have your own kids now? Now she better not have any attachment to the most fulfilling part of her life?
Is that really how YOU want YOUR children to treat you one day?
Some people will not realize what they have until it’s gone. These delusional women want to throw whole relationships away over things that will not matter at all, looking back.
The level of entitlement and lack of perspective is unreal. And there are too many posts to comment on the all individually, so here’s my generalized response.
Get a grip, moms.

Eine neue Studie bricht mit dem Klischee, dass Männer rechter sind als Frauen. Dabei zeigt sich eigentlich nur, dass Frauen genauso menschenverachtende Einstellungen haben können, wie Männer. trib.al/MdAlATb

@SabineBneu Bei uns auf dem Land ist kaum eine Fahrt vermeidbar. Man ist für alles auf das Auto angewiesen. Zur Schule, zur Arbeit, zum Einkaufen, zum Arzt. Etc.
Sorry, aber dein Post macht nicht viel Sinn.
Wer fährt bitte einfach nur aus Spaß???

Das ist eine berechtigte Frage. Es war die enorme Kraft eines Narrativs, das mir in einer Zeit tiefer innerer Not eine schnelle Erlösung versprach. Wenn man sich im Inneren fremd fühlt, greift man nach jedem Rettungsanker – und das Bild vom "falschen Körper" ist so allgegenwärtig und gesellschaftlich validiert, dass man es im Schmerz kaum hinterfragt.
Man verliert sich in einem Tunnelblick: Die moderne Welt bietet für jedes psychische Unbehagen sofort eine physische Lösung an. Ich habe damals gelernt, meinen inneren Konflikt auf meine Biologie zu projizieren, anstatt ihn in mir zu verstehen. Es ist die "gesellschaftliche Hypnose" ...
Man fängt an, am Schlüssel zu feilen, weil alle sagen, das Schloss sei falsch – dabei klemmt vielleicht nur die Tür.
Es brauchte erst das Scheitern der äusseren Optimierung, um in der Stille zu erkennen ... Mein Körper war nie der Feind. Er war der einzige, der während der ganzen Reise loyal zu mir stand, während ich ihn bekämpfte. Diese Demut und Erkenntnis gewinnt man oft erst, wenn man am Ende eines Weges merkt, dass die Antwort nicht in der Veränderung der Materie, sondern in der Heilung des inneren Hinsehens liegt ... 🙏
