One of the most depressing things I ever read is about Norwegians not having good ideas for spending their money, so the tend to opt for buying second and third holiday homes. I mean I am sure having holiday homes provides a certain degree

I meant I never understood why people in the UK dislike double glazing and think of it as a kind of joke. Don't know much about the story of double glazing in the UK, though. The only thing that comes to mind is that climate is suppose

I suppose you are joking, as double-glazing seems to be a popular meme in the UK (with people being convinced they don't need it and scammy vendors pushing it)? Must admit I never completely understood it, coming from a country where d

How do you define utility cost - isn't it kind of equivalent to market rate (what it is worth for people to pay)? I can not really make sense of your statement? If the prices are over market rate, how to they find renters?

I suspect such places will always emerge? A while ago I saw a documentary about Bremen, where apparently large amounts of flats are empty and can be rented for 1€/month. Maybe cities like that could become new destinations for artists?

If the government rents out places below market races, it is subsidizing those renters. It is leaving money on the table that it could use to pay for things that it pays for with taxpayer money from Munich instead.

Another nice thing about the ZX Spectrum was that it had all the basic commands printed on the keyboard. Great for experimentation as a kid.

Article talks a lot about blame on white people, yet it doesn't even contain the information that black employers hire differently than white employers. Also, project implicit, the unconscious bias test referenced in the article, has b

If there was a hard fork, shouldn't they report numbers for both versions? Or which version went up by 50%?

"For a pair of identical twins, the twin who practiced music more did not do better on the tests than the twin who practiced less" So this doesn't make sense - otherwise, why practice at all? And indeed the article goes on to
