That looks more like it's communicating heartfelt happiness or something. I've never understood it as a hugging face ...

When restaurants where closed some local restaurants started creating food boxes you could order for the weekend with recipes and most of the ingredients based on their menu/style. No app, just send an e-mail and pick up on Friday.

As I understand the Swedes, Herd immunity is not the goal they are working towards, but a possible bi-product of their strategy. The strategy as such is to keep the curve low enough, pretty much the same as everywhere else. They've jus

American unions, from my understanding, are less democratic and you lack the legal framework we have in parts of Europe which facilitates negotiations between unions and industry. Mind you, that framework didn’t come for free. It was fought

The alternative in Tokyo (and most other big cities), if everyone felt like cattle on public transport and decided to move to their own personal vehicle, would be an eternal gridlock of the city. You would have your own space, but you would

In Sandinavia we see a lot of covid-19 related deaths at elderly care homes. These are older people, often with a lot of underlying deceases in addition to their old age. Very seldom these patients are moved to a hospital, so they die at th

Holy shit. I'm involuntarily WFH at the moment with two kids in kindergarten age and one in school age I'm "home schooling". It "works", but productivity gets a major hit and my sanity is on the line. Did you h

As far as I have heard from Norway, not a single person that has been on a ventilator due to Covid-19 has died. The average age of the dead is 84 years old, which is a bit older than the average life expectancy in Norway. What I can gather

Isn't the firing an accusation in and of itself and as such the burden of proof is on the company?

As far as I understand none of the sats in orbit have this technology as of yet, so until they manage to make this a reality they will need a lot of ground stations, including floating ground station if they intend on serving the maritime m

I think Elon has been talking about floating ground stations. Not sure if that is even viable. My best guess is that ships, at least ocean going ships, will stay with GEO operators for the time being.

Interesting. Here in Norway the recommendation has been to keep supplies for 3 days, including water, power supplies (battery banks), a radio with full batteries, heating and cooking possibilities and so on.

And you have millions without basic access to healthcare, meaning they will go around untreated passing the virus along to their fellow citizens.

Just curious, how extreme weather do you get where you live? We have some rough weather at times, but I've never heard of closed anything due to bad weather.

Isn’t the road appeal simply a result of him bombarding the airwaves in Super Tuesday states? So called “soft support”.

This is interesting, cause we have the same situation with tourists in Norway underestimating the wilderness. Last few years the stone formation “Trolltunga” has been pretty popular among tourists, but what the Instagram posts doesn’t tell

But isn't the problem with public schools in the US that the funding comes from taxes in the school district itself, so ppor districts will get a underfunded school while rich districts get a well funded school? Anyway, the school syst

Don't you have to seek municipality approval for structures? At least where I'm from we have to seek approval from the municipality to build anything bigger than a certain size on our own land. Anything that is close to a public s

There's lots of EV's in Norway, but chargers are not ubiquitous. Yet at least. There's often a few chargers at shopping malls and big public parking lots and so on. Anyway, I have an EV and have never used any public charger.

Tax on cars is the same or higher in Norway (Except EV’s), and here we love our cars, not our bikes.

As far as I understand Piketty does not argue that wealth accumulation is morally wrong. He argues that wealth accumulation has a negative effect on society.

Sure, but the normal working class hero have limited capital and limited time to research and limited knowledge of the stock market. Sure, he can own 0.00002% of a company, but in the end it doesn't really matter. He still doesn't

We see the same thing in Oslo, Norway where the local government is trying to reduce car use in the city. The main concern is from people with disabilities who fear for their disability parking. I believe it is because the main mobility dev

The problem is mass tourism, not tourists. I’ve lived I two of the biggest cruise destinations in Norway, and that kind of tourism is terrible. Hundreds of mostly middle aged and old people overflow the city for a few hours and spending nex

I'm in Norway, and tradition until relatively recently has been to bring a few slices of bread with ham, cheese, pate or whatever wrapped in paper. Sometimes left overs from dinner the day before. Almost always consumed in a canteen wi
