    You won’t need to ask anyone to “try it” or install anything. You simply send a link to the meeting and then it works for anyone on any device.

    That’s the good thing about it. You don’t have to coordinate whether the other part has Teams, Google Meet or Zoom or whatever.

    It runs in the browser, it’s free, encrypted and no account or installation required.




  • I’d say that if you do have an opinion and state an opinion on something, then you should also know enough to explain why.

    Specifically about politics, it’s scary how many people have an opinion without knowing why. Politics is also something that everyone should have an opinion on, because it affects pretty much everything, so everyone do have an interest in something political. It shouldn’t be based on feelings or the charisma of the candidate or group pressure. It should be based on what affects you and how you’d want it done.



  • That depends on the production and distribution of electricity and not so much the EV.

    It’s impossible to state any number that would be correct for all cases, but I would guess with a great deal of certainty that it’s a hell of a lot less than is lost on production and distribution of gasoline.

    And even in some crazy home made diesel generator scenario where the power isn’t produced and distributed more efficiently than gasoline, the EV is still about four times more efficient in using the energy after it has been produced and distributed.


  • I think the price is alright, if you like it as it is. It appears to be well maintained, however it will require a major overhaul to make work with any other kind of interior. It might be costly to heat and it would cost a lot to update the windows and heating system.

    It’s located close to a large road, the cargo railway, the harbour and industrial areas. The area is build very densely, with neighbors behind every wall. I wouldn’t say it’s necessarily a very noisy place, but it’s definitely not blissfully quiet.

    For the right person, it may be cheap, but it’s not exactly what the majority of house buyers are looking for.







  • It’s detachable in my fridge.

    I use the egg holder on the door shelf for small bottles that would otherwise fall over when the door is opened. Medicine or nail polish, that sort of thing.

    I also the egg holder to … hold the eggs … after they’re boiled, so I can fill the egg cooker instead of boiling just a few at a time. I use cold boiled eggs for sandwiches or salats.

    I do not use it for holding raw eggs as those already come in an egg shaped carton.

    I think this is actually still an issue. On PCs the space bar + up + left arrow keys conflicts on some keyboards. Try it: open Notepad, press two arrow keys and then space. Most of them works but if you hold up and left, it will not make a space.

    This is annoying in racing games, when you want to accelerate, turn left and use the hand brake at the same time.


  • not sure what a ceremonial rich dude could have done.

    This is the kind of situation in which a king (or president) can make a difference.

    Royalty don’t have any direct power to order people to do things, but they do have a voice with quite a broad reach. Whenever the king speaks, people will hear it. Even if they don’t care about the king.

    In a time where people are getting their information from sources curated to fit their own political bubble or economical interests, it’s quite powerful to be able to reach a whole country across political and economic interests.

    Royalties can’t dictate, but they can encourage and motivate people to work together on a common goal despite of their differences.

    When something is seriously threatening the country, it would be nice if the king would bother making a motivational speech, so that people, companies and politicians could see the purpose of uniting against the common threat.

    It might not sway the opinions of people or companies who have strong interests in not doing anything differently, but it will boost the morale of people trying to do their best, enabling them to rest assured that they’re doing the right thing despite of what others might do. We could say it’s a really vague forn of long term meta-politics, but sometimes that’s also all that is needed to set a direction.

    It’s not political as such, but more like “yo let’s save this sinking ship” instead of passivily watching it happen. It won’t fix anything by itself, but it’s a good start. Without a good start and set direction, you can be sure that nothing will ever change.

    the fact that developing countries will industrialize in the same way western countries have and will start to produce similar environmental emissions

    That’s not a fact. It makes more sense for developing countries to skip directly to renewable energy sources.
