  • When you refund a mattress they just surface clean it

    yuck. I doubt that. It’s manual work and far more expensive than a machine.

    but getting them dry would be a challenge

    seriously? I mean, there is a chance no such service exists in your town. Bad luck then. But there is close to zero chance it doesn’t exist in your country.

    What do you think hospitals do? (Or good hotels, as mentioned). Source: Worked in an elderly home that used such a service regularly.

    Here’s an image of such a mattress washing machine.

    They work.


  • That’s not true. All mattresses except the cheapest foam ones are washable (they are, too but they might change properties then). But why get a used cheap one?

    There are mattress washing services with giant washing machines that are used by hotels. Ask hotel staff to find one.

    You can’t get rid of most of the build-up.

    You actually can get rid of all the buildups. Just like with clothes. Also don’t think sellers throw it away when you refund a mattress - they wash it and sell it again.



  • Some things basically come for free when they were used. Washing machine, stoves… Disassembling them to fully clean them takes a day or two, but it’s still faster than buying new and chances are good, someone wants to get rid of their high quality stuff near you and will give it away for cheap if you “dispose” it for them.

    You can even wash a mattress for a few bucks. If it’s good quality, a decade old used filthy mattress can come out like brand new.

    People finding that gross or poorish are the reason, stuff is so cheap

    Dafür nehme ich pdftotext (glaube Teil von poppler).

    Aber für dich wäre es vermutlich schlauer über debug modus, /proc/…/cmdline oder quellcode die settings für tesseract rauszufinden, die pdfsandwich verwendet, damit du dein frontend entsprechen konfigurieren kannst.






  • I only know thumb = motion/current but now since you say, it’s clear: people used x/y for 2D logically but the 2D plane used to be paper. which is parallel to the earth surface (usually). Computer screens are perpendicular so Y points up, not away from you.

    So this makes sense with paper, TIL. With computers, Z traditionally means depth.

    mein Früher ist 90er

    Die Entwicklung lief exponentiell. Der LKW Zuwachs nach der Demontage des Schienengüterverkehrs ist da noch nicht mit drin.

    In den 90ern war Fahrradfahren/Laufen übler als in den 70ern und heute ist es übler als in den 90ern.

    Trotzdem sind wir als Kinder ganz natürlich mehrere Kilometer gelaufen

    In den 60ern galt das auch für die Erwachsenen. Es war völlig normal mit Anzug, Aktenkoffer und Hosenklammer bei jedem Wetter auf dem Rad zur Arbeit zu fahren. In den 70ern/80ern galt das dann irgendwann als ärmlich.
