This is either suicide with extra steps, or loads of fun! The line between those 2 is surprisingly thin!

Randall Munroe did a what-if entry about swimming pools on the moon, and swim-jumping would be wild. If you have fins, you could do dolphin jumps several meters above the water! One of my probably-not-safe-enough ideas was to combine underw

Well, running on a flat surface is kinda hard in low g, so I guess you'd have to make some adjustments for that. But yeah basketball where players jump to the ceiling and then push of from the ceiling towards the floor could be quite c

This is pretty cool, but what really excites me is the possibility of inventing entirely new sports that only work in low gravity. Now, I'm an adrenaline junkie myself, so it might be best if I leave the actual inventing of those sorts

It is entirely fair to do so. And I'm not a huge fan of a lot of things Elon has written on Twitter. I don't really care about him buying it too much, but that's at least partially because I don't use it and never did. A

I think a large part of the problem is that a lot of people seem to have trouble consolidating that someone can have both positive and negative qualities at the same time.

Seems like what they actually want to say is: please help us, we have no idea how to host a moderately popular website. They must've spelled it wrong...

Wow that story is like something straight out of spy-romanticising drama! Crazy that such undercover agents really exist! Also, I wonder what the pay is like? Or how it even works.. probably best to not leave a obvious money trail between s

I agree! I also think it would make sense for people not supportive of psychedelic treatments to be interested in this, for various reasons, including what you said, and also as an educational tool too teach kids so they don't try it i

It's white on black, or at least white on very dark gray. Contrast is about as high as it could be on my device. Might there be a problem with your device?

Because in Japan, you get arrested for modifying save files, so no-one wants to live there

You're probably right that it's the case in most countries, but an interesting counterexample is Sweden, where testing positive on a drug test is a criminal offence. Police can arrest you for appearing to be under the influence of

Professions disappear, it's a natural side effect of progress. Stablehands aren't really that common anymore, because most people drive cars instead of horses. I really hope we can deprecate a whole bunch of professions related to

I'm curious what "minor" means exactly in this context? I've seen the Sagrada familia, and it ain't small!

Yeah I've never been charged less than 700 at a barbers in Sweden that I can recall. My gf usually has 4 digits in her bill, but she likes to go for more ambitious treatments than I. The swish only approach makes a lot of sense in that

I stand corrected, saw your other post about sammordningsnummer, and googled that. It's quite the corner case that I'd never heard of before. I'll agree that the system is not optimal and could be better in this regard, but i

There are not, GP is either a troll or misinformed. The difference between the Swedish personnummer and similar system in other countries is basically that the Swedish version functions unusually well. You can actually get a personnummer wi

I spent 5 minutes googling this, so I might well have missed something, but what I found was that a card terminal from zettle has a upfront cost(first one is cheap, additional ones more expensive) and they then charge 2.5% on all transactio

Reading this link, I'm wondering if my initial formulation wasn't correct after all? It depends on how you categorize "vegan" but in the link they state that "material" is the only group of adjectives that come

You're probably right! I sometimes unconsciously apply Swedish grammar to the English language. Thanks for pointing it out to me, TIL!

This seems very familiar.. Isn't there a plotline in The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy about someone travelling around apologising to the entire universe in alphabetical order, using a time machine iirc? Edit: Hah, my bad, I th

We all know how great a company Apple is(sigh), but even they make mistakes. Stop defending stupidity just because it's Apple being stupid this time.

You might have half a point about emojis, but that's not what Apple is doing here. Is there a reason I as a Swede should be limited from using my full native alphabet in my passwords for example? As an example, you know how people some

Tangential at best, but this project made me think of evilpass, which is the funniest password validation scheme ever! It probably does increase security, but it also gives the impression of actively hacking you. https://github.c

I didn't mean law as in constitution, but rather law as in Betteridge's or Moore's or Murphy's. Also,"Apple" isn't really a value, though I agree they are yummy!

It's there a law that states that whatever values an organisation puts in its name are the opposite of that organizations actual values? Seems like there should be, but I haven't heard of it. If there isn't I'm coining &
