Interessante video over alternatieven voor een reguliere inlaatcombinatie voor CV ketels: [Wayback/Archive] Waarom ik geen standaard inlaatcombinatie plaats.. deze werken na een paar jaar niet meer goed..🤔 – YouTube
De inlaatcombinatie is 3 apparaten in 1.. een afsluiter, overdrukventiel en keerklep die voorkomt dat er warmwater terug kan lopen naar de koudwaterleiding. Ik plaats altijd een losse kogelafsluiter met controleerbare keerklep, daarnaast plaats ik een losse overstort van 6 bar..
- Via deze link kan je de Raminex kogelafsluiter met keerklep bestellen: https://partner.bol.com/click/click?p….
- Via deze link kan je de losse Raminex aftapper bestellen: https://partner.bol.com/click/click?p….
- Mocht je geen ruimte hebben om een kogelkraan te plaatsen met een losse overstort dan kun je deze inlaatcombinatie bestellen..
- LET OP.. deze is 6 bar Via deze link kan je de 6 bar overstort bestellen: https://amzn.to/3Wp2M4O

Are remote workers really working all day? No. Here’s what they’re doing instead. USA TODAY by Jessica Guynn in USA Today website
Useful thread about remote, remote-first and in-office experiences starting with [Wayback/Archive] nixCraft 🐧: “I’ve got some news about office environments. The absolute worst part for me was dealing with the rampant gossip and laziness. People would chat all day, accomplish next to nothing, and then pretend they were some kind of heroes for staying late.…” – Mastodon
I’ve got some news about office environments. The absolute worst part for me was dealing with the rampant gossip and laziness. People would chat all day, accomplish next to nothing, and then pretend they were some kind of heroes for staying late. People walk around, take lunch or bathroom breaks, attend meetings, etc. Office or Home people will walk around. Stop writing stupid stories to promote back-to-office culture and risk everyone’s health.
Read the responses for more experience.
And don’t feel bad when you slack when working remote: within boundaries, that is OK.

Just in case I ever need it for historic reasons:
[Wayback/Archive] WinWorld: Microsoft Office 95
Because back in the days various Office products had localised VBA (at least German and French products had; I’m not sure about other languages)
