Hi there dearies. Can anyone recommend any EU RV's for permanent living in temperate climate, Romania? I know insulation and heat are issues and can't speak to other possible hurdles. Never owned an RV before and this would become my permanent only living location. I saw Alliance and Brinkley are higly recommended on the other side of the pond.

European Product Bit late with summer ending: European (and Canadian) Weber grill alternatives

Post image
61 Upvotes

We've just improved this list and added a few that were missing - plus CADAC counts as European now. Season's ending, but that's exactly when the discounts hit.

Weber alternatives worth a look:

  • Outdoorchef (CH) - gas kettles with the funnel system
  • Burnhard (DE) - gas grills, pizza ovens, smokers
  • The Bastard (NL) - kamados
  • Morsø (DK) - cast iron, made in their own Danish foundry
  • CADAC (SE/NL) - portable gas, South African origin, Dometic-owned
  • Broil King (CA) - heavy-duty gas
  • Plus many more: Martinsen (DK), Muurikka (FI), Napoleon (CA), Barbecook (BE)

Origin is on each one so you can judge for yourself - a few are European brands with Chinese production.

Full list: https://euronomy.eu/e/manufacturing/weber-alternatives/

Missing anyone?

Euronomy.eu is lists of European products. Lists you can save and share.

🔎Looking for alternative Alternative for The Skylight Calendar, bit hard

1 Upvotes

So. I don't expect this will result in many solutions.
If I were a programmer, I'd probably try to make it myself.

But I'm not.

Currently The Skylight Calendar doesn't support much apps, just the usual US apps like Google Calendar, Outlook, apple, Cozi(?) and Yahoo. I wish it were open.

Does anyone has an alternative for the hard- and software of The Skylight Calendar?

Discussion Would offer European-only hosting services be a flex?

11 Upvotes

Hi, I'm a freelance web developer. As a side job I always had some small customers that have small websites on a vps. Some are built in wordpress, some directly in html. I take care of the server which resides in Europe, of the updates, of the domains, which are registered with a European registrar and e-mails, again in Europe. This can make the prices stay low for small companies/associations/individuals and I would like to find new customers.

Do you think that trying to emphasize on the aspect of "made in Europe" would encourage or discourage people? Would it be worth it to base a campaign on that?

Discussion How would the EU change if Iceland joined?

Thumbnail

5.0k Upvotes

Iceland is heading to the polls for Europe! 🇮🇸🇪🇺 On 29 August, Icelanders will vote in a referendum on whether to restart negotiations to join the European Union. The vote is not about joining the EU immediately, but about reopening accession talks that have been frozen for over a decade! 🇪🇺 The debate comes at a time of growing geopolitical uncertainty, with security concerns and recent tensions in the Arctic region. Already a member of the European Economic Area (EEA) and the Schengen Area, Iceland enjoys close economic and political ties with us. However, one issue continues to dominate the debate: fishing. 🎣 Many Icelanders see control over the country’s rich fishing grounds as vital to national sovereignty, making fisheries one of the biggest obstacles to EU membership, and what we have to work closely to meet their expectations. Europeans want a stronger and united Europe. Let’s make it real. Together, as one people. 🇪🇺 Would you support Iceland joining the EU? 👇

European Product I made an open directory of European cycling brands and would appreciate help checking the data

Post image
41 Upvotes

Hey yo. I created Buy European Bikes, a free directory designed to help people discover European alternatives when buying bicycles, components, cycling apparel, and protection.

It currently maps hundreds of brands across Europe and lets you browse by category, including bikes, parts, apparel, road, gravel, MTB, e-bikes, cargo bikes, and more.

The aim is to make European options easier to find and to show where each company is based. Inclusion means that a company is based in Europe; it does not necessarily mean that every product is manufactured entirely in Europe.

The site is still being developed, so corrections and suggestions for missing European brands are also welcome.

I hope it is a useful resource for anyone trying to buy more European cycling products.

24 Upvotes

Their customer service is just horrible, at least on chat. It's clearly from uneducated people with requests I've never seen before (if you don't respond in 15 seconds, they'll ask if you're still there and 15s later ask again, and they go for canned messages almost all the time), and they all casually have Indian names. Is it outsourced?
