> It will cost an additional NOK 500 million to upgrade the tunnel from an emergency service to one that can be used daily. $46M USD, to save cyclists 5.5km/20 minutes; that seems like a pretty good return.

> But I am not sure if I was ultra rich I would want to live right downtown. Why not? You use it when you want to be in the city for a few nights, and then fly off to one of your other houses when you want a change of scenery!

An electric conversion for the BN-2 Islander was being developed for exactly this purpose; island-hopping around Scotland. It looks like they've switched to hydrogen fuel cells now though - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki

Not sure if it was in the original (cargo-carrying) spec., but it’s one of the few aeroplanes where the nose can be lifted to load awkwardly-shaped freight.

We must have gone through about 20 free trials for Lovefilm during uni, using subtly different addresses with typos so they'd still be delivered but not show up as dupe accounts. Good times.

I was trying to think of how cell phones might be considered gross ethically; I guess the manufacture? Foxconn etc.?

Health insurance feels like a sort of "gross" industry that I don't imagine Apple would want to be associated with. Could be wrong though.

For: you don’t have to heat anything up. Against: Nothing really, I guess the baby might not drink it (in theory they’re expecting warm breast milk). It’s not recommended to use straight tap water here, only filtered, due to bacteria which

I'd say relay attacks were more common than break-ins though.

Even at airports where you have to take things out, there are ways of making it work. Big, clear signs in multiple languages/with pictures showing what you have to do, lots of "work surfaces" to reorganise your bag without bl
