Prison cells should be individual, not shared with other inmates. Both from a security perspective and from an ethical perspective. Everyone, even rapists and murderers deserve personal space. But in most of the world I guess this is unreal

2.5 hours long lines to vote would have been a major crisis in Norway. The longest I've ever waited was 20 minutes when I voted in city hall just after 4 pm when everyone got off work and voted on their way home. Even then there was an

Just a crazy thought, but what if Slack (just using Slack as an example) could provide a dongle or 1U server you can put in your server room which works as a proxy for Slack and fallback for clients should Slack be down. This could automati

Yeah, I have a gazillion buttons on my microwave, but the only button I really use is the Start/add 30 sec button. If I want to adjust power I can adjust from 150 to 600, and then there's a "Jet" function, but I have no

AirDrop is brilliant. I shared 10 pictures with my mother with one click. She accepted with one click and the pictures were instantly available on her iPhone, iPad, mac and Apple TV. the only problem I have with it is that it can take a few

Don’t forget all the inneklemt days. May next year is a inneklemt bonanza. I doubt there will be much done at all in the country in May. (It’s common in Norway to take any day that is between two off days off. So May 1st is a national holid

I bet if there exists statistics on how much time children spend alone outside you will see it decrease as car use increase. Cars are my biggest fear when the kids go outside alone. Soon the oldest will begin school and I want her to go by

How do unions work in the US? From what I hear it sounds like members are "employed" by the union and the company is forced to hire workers from the union? Have I misunderstood? In Europe workers are hired by the company and are f

No wonder you spend enormous amounts of money on health care in the states. In Norway most doctors makes just above $100,000. I guess this is more or less comparable to the rest of Europe.

Electrical cars are priced comparably to ICE cars (after subsidies). The main reason electrical cars are selling so good is not the price of the car, but rather all the other subsidies. Free pass through toll roads (which can be pretty expe

Range depends on driving style, speed, temperature and probably a million different variables. I think there's like three different standards of determining "range" and they vary quite a bit.
