While the apps look nice, I can’t say I see anything that major banks in Sweden haven’t offered already for the past 5 years or so. Are we so far ahead or is online banking in such a shitty state?

What little management experience I have (3 years as team lead for 2 different teams) tells me most people are masochists deep down inside and crave a dictator to order them what to do.

Uuuuuuh, so you really want to take (albeit small) risk of commiting fraud and getting on the bad side of a organization able to detain you for hours/days to prove a point over freaking mouth wash? I sure as hell value my time and sani

Things I don't need to worry about/additional perks: - No healthcare costs. Scraped elbow? Free. Brain surgery? Free. - No saving up for college for my kids. - 30 days of vacation + ~13 public holidays. - No student loans (kinda-s

It’s been in place since the late 70’s. 480 days per kid, each parent had ~20% earmarked and the rest is up to the parents to divide up.

Don’t flush baby wipes, or anything except fences or toilet paper. They clog drains and interfere with the sewage treatment process.

Am I the only one worried about the path the world is on? Fascism (or all-out nazism in Europe) on the rise, anti-intellectual and anti-press movements stirring, world leaders shunning science. It feels like we’re well on our way into a new

For the first month or so I take a very humble listening position, even if I immediately see things I want to fix. More often then not, there is a background and a history to things that could lead to a) my “fix” being unnecessary and/

Sorry, bad choice words. The work is not done by a yeast so perhaps it’s not technically fermenting. The work is done by a type of bacteria called archea. As far as I know the only byproduct Upon burning biogas is CO2 and water vapor.
