So my car has been complaining I should put some exhaust emissions neutralizing fluid in it. A thing they call AdBlue I believe.
Bought a big 10l drum of the stuff ready to fill up.
But when I look at where I expect to find the hole for filling it, I just find a capped off tube and a warning sticker "See the GM Citreon Berlingo Blaze manual" for the adblue refilling hole.
Only user manual I have is the one telling me to expect it there.
The car was converted for wheelchair access at some point in its life. I think they are referring to the wheelchair-adaption manual, which the seller did not give me.
🤔
Have been looking around the car as much as I can for a couple of hours this morning to no avail. Where have they hidden this hole to fill up adblue?
Maybe it's under the engine or something now and you have to put the thing on stilts to find it?
🤷
Asked my mechanic about it and he says to bring it in on Monday. Gonna be a pain if I have to rip up the floorboards or something every year to refill that.

This was an interesting problem to work on (back in 2017): A visualization of a path planner for 3D printing (FDM) a single layer/mesh structure of a multi-layer textile. Two setups of the same path strategy which optimized for longest continuous sub-paths and minimum rapids (distance without filament extrusion) between sub-paths. The planner supported six strategies in total, incl. optimizing for straight sub-paths and minimum amounts of "recent" crossings (to allow filament to co…

Initially the paths are longer, but are becoming shorter as more edges of the mesh have already been visited. Visited edges are then shown as thick gray lines.

#DearLazyWeb: Hey #Nederlanders ik heb en expat vrag over mijn #VvE. Our management company is absolute garbage. Our VVE management company recently scheduled repainting, during winter, with the most incompetent company possible, who did a horrible job, some of which didn't need to be done. Our windows had just been repainted since they were painted before we moved in, so 1/3 of the work they did was unnecessary, and now they look much worse than they did before. I could go on, but generally lots and lots of complaints along with absolutely terrible service.
Our upstairs neighbor (also an owner) also hates them and wants to switch, but a rental company owns the top half of the building and seems to be trying to force us in to staying. Basically, this management company is super cheap and the rental company are absolutely trash absentee leaches. (They *may* also have not been paying their part of the VvE fees for a while, but I'm not totally sure I understood everything.)
Unfortunately, I am way out of my depth and can't seem to get much help from google. Can anyone give me some advice about what to read or who to talk to, or are we actually stuck?

Good website #uber guys...
I needed to update my password. Then I couldn't go back (yes yes, outside of my browser's back button)

The "Manage your profile" page of the Uber service. There is no link to return to the main page of one's uber account (showing rides taken etc.), and since the account management page opens in the same tab the main service page was in, you must use your browser's back button. 

The very helpful AI assistant had asked "Ask me anything about your Uber account", to which I asked "how do I get back to the main uber page"

The AI's response was

The biggest risk to Canada comes from its prickly southern neighbor.
The U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA)
— a regional trade pact Trump signed in his first term that allows many goods to cross North American borders duty-free
— comes up for renewal this year.
Trump is almost sure to demand changes meant to shift manufacturing to the United States
— and might threaten to pull out of the deal altogether,
especially if he is inclined to punish Carney for…

A large, dark circular object is silhouetted against a partly cloudy sky in this black-and-white photo. Mounted on a pole, the object resembles a street sign or disc. The photo is taken from a low angle, making the circle appear dominant in the frame. The sky transitions from darker to lighter tones, adding depth. The stark contrast between the object and the sky creates a bold, minimalist composition.

A black-and-white photograph shows a streetlight pole and a utility pole with multiple cables stretching across the frame. The streetlight has a curved arm extending leftward with a lamp at the end. The utility pole includes a diagonal support beam. Overhead wires crisscross the cloudy sky, forming geometric patterns. The moody sky and intersecting lines create a visually striking and structured composition.

A black-and-white photo captures a modern building with multiple staircases and metal railings viewed from below. Tree branches with leaves frame the top of the image. A reflective sphere is mounted on the building, distorting the surroundings in its mirrored surface. On the building’s wall, a phrase reads: “A PINCH OF SALT CAN BRING OUT THE SWEETNESS.” The composition blends architectural geometry with natural elements and a philosophical message.

Hey, Denmark is a monarchy. Get His Maj Frederik, who’s a good-looking dude, to offer the orange one a Royal Duchy that comes with a cool golden crown or something like that if he’ll shut up about Greenland. Orange guy loves royalty.
