I guess renewables are still cheaper.

At least personally and anecdotally, because it doesn’t happen often, but it has happened more than once, that I have purchased electricity at negative prices due to overflow from renewables, which is a hell of lot cheaper than paying a tenth of a cent per kilowatt hour.

Not really though. The USA issue wasn’t discussed much if at all during the election campaigns, because parties from both sides are in agreement on this. It wouldn’t have moved any votes.

Also, the foreign minister who managed the issue well is not from the party in charge. Perhaps he personally benefitted from it, but all the parties in the previous coalition (including his) lost votes, mainly because voters didn’t like the unusual coalition. They’re going to do it again though. She surely didn’t call the election for his sake.

The timing probably had more to do with local news than international. The topics of water pollution, animal welfare, climate and food prices were already recently present before she called the election. It made sense that way.

Their vehicles also use about double the fuel for the same milage, so they’re almost paying the same per mile.

It makes me so sad … that their entire society is dependent on cheap excessive consumption of non-renewable resources.

… because they did have it?

It wasn’t universal at the time, covering only the poorest workers, but Germany was the first country to establish a social health care system in 1883. It didn’t work very well during the war, but it was technically still there. Since the war, they gradually expanded it achieving universal coverage sometime in the 1980s.

I choose to turn the paper.

Knoxville is going to punch your balls any chance he gets.

It’s strange how celebrities always die when I’m on the toilet.

Here’s one for you Turd Norris.

Trying to censor kids shows isn’t feasible. They’re going to find out anyway, or it will be a massive culture shock when they eventually hear their first swear word as adults. I’d rather take the opportunity to talk with my kids about it if they watch crap.

SpongeBob doesn’t really bother me, but if they watch Alvin and the Chipmunks I always ask them to use headphones, because I can’t stand that shit.

If I can predict it, I’ll skip to the last step and just not attempt to do it.

This works because the person who is supposed to remind me of the task has a to-do list that takes about two years to go through. By the time she gets to reminding me it’s already irrelevant.

I did not expect that. TIL: https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article/2026-regulations-explained-all-you-need-to-know-about-f1s-advanced.4h53Szn4Z3VsD6rGcR3LtU

I welcome their research into this, but I don’t share their optimism about it making it’s way to consumers vehicles. There’s no way we can produce enough biofuel to cover the consumption, and carbon capture for fuel doesn’t make sense when we can already use the electric energy more efficiently directly.

I’m afraid you’re overqualified. It’s an entry-level job.

Perhaps someone with higher standards like you would be a better fit for our penny-farthing department.

Humour was very different when they first started. There was a turning point in the late 90s with Mandrilaftalen and stand-up in general.

Everything prior to that was just boomer humour with repeated punchlines.

I also can’t believe Tim & Gordon still have status as funny TV celebrities. They had one show 30 years ago where they told the same fucking jokes in every single episode.

But at least they weren’t as bad as Ørkenens Sønner. Even at the time they aired on TV, you would be able to find their entire joke catalogue on the joke page in the magazines that old ladies read at the hairdresser.

It’s UK.

Sure, but it’s difficult to classify which jobs are objectionable and what the price should be for someone to do them anyway.

If they want to pay me to deliver stuff on a unicycle, I’ll be delivering stuff on a unicycle. Do I want to ride a unicycle? Depends on the pay.

Ok, now the cable has to go between the tv and the mount.

Plumbing is fairly safe from any kind of automation and also well paid.

They do use robots for pipe inspection and minor repairs, but that’s about the extend of what the clankers will ever be able to do.
