More importantly, most of the places where people live in Norway are not actually that cold. In Oslo it hasn't dropped below -20C / -4F since 2010.

Although I'm a big proponent of heat pumps, they are not the solution here. I ran the numbers for my country and it still works out cheaper to heat with gas than a heat pump. Natural gas works out to be 13c/kWh and an electric hea

I live in another EU country, that in 5 years I could easily see being as this article describes Portugal. I'm not sure if it's the same in Portugal, but this is only really accurate for major cities in my country. Smaller cities

I live in Lithuania and I guess it was the same here, as all apartments have thick steel doors with multiple locks, and ground floor apartments of older buildings often have bars. Now though it's nothing like that. I'm originally

This has nothing to do with Ukraine, that's just the cherry on top. At the end of last year - when prices were already at record levels - I remember reading an article about gas storage levels in Europe being unusually low. It estimate

In my country everyone has an electric oven, so you can set an exact temperature.

It really depends on what tea and how you use it. Steeping the same tea for 1 minute or 3 minutes will result in a vastly different amount of caffiene in the cup. And then it depends on how much tea you use in the first place, so giving tea

My city is mostly low rise, but there is one area 'the business district' where there are exclusively 10+ storey buildings being built. The funny thing is that this used to be an area full of traditional houses (50+ years old), an

Taxes in the UK are not actually that high. I live in a Northern European country and my take home pay on the same salary in the UK would be 12% more a month, and even more if you take into account all the tax free savings options (there&#x

Requiring card only payments if you pay after you eating sounds like a recipe for confusing customers. The only places I've seen doing card only are coffee shops and quick serve restaurants where you pay before you get your food.

I tried many different methods and nothing really worked, then I finally came across this: - heat it up so it's warm in the oven - coat it generously with vegetable oil (it's what I had, but basically any oil will do) - wipe the e

My Prius can fit a large stroller and still have room for shopping in the trunk. As much hate as it gets, it's actually surprisingly roomy inside. Under the trunk floor there's a removable compartment that I use to store a 100pc t

Do you have Volvo there? They still make the V60 and V90 in 'cross country' versions in Europe, which is a 4x4 sedan.

I was living in Rome in 2016/17, and at the time yes. I'm not sure if things have changed now. Even finding a place that did "generic American style BBQ" was hard enough. There was one brand with a few stores, but it was

I'm not sure about the US as installation costs there are very expensive, but in my part of Europe I had 10kW of roof mount solar installed for €10,800 at the end of last year. The calculations I did for it in 2020 were that the paybac

International phone numbers can be up to 15 digits, but in most places the rules narrow them down further. For example in the UK the country code is 44, all mobile phone numbers start with 7, with 9 digits after that.

Would you be against such a system if the recognition was done entirely locally and it only sent aggregated stats (male, 30-39) to the cloud? I feel like this is coming whether we like it or not, but we (as engineers) can at least try to pu

In my part of Europe it is also down. Now €1.68/litre from a peak of €2.20/litre in June. If you take into account the USD/EUR exchange rate change this year, then prices are nearly back to their winter 2021 levels. Natural g

If anything an EV should be possible to design to be safer against fires, as it's the battery itself that burns. A metal fire break on the floor and a gap between that and the battery should give warning signs (smoke coming out the sid

This is what I do, usually once or twice a day. I seem to touch my face and glasses a lot, so dish soap is important as it removes the grease. Hand soap isn't as powerful and often has additives that will leave a film behind. Between c

Refugees from the Ukrainian war can be used as a good case study to understand this. I live in Lithuania, which has taken over 50,000 people since the start of the war, which equates to around 2% of the total population. Most of the refugee

That's only the case with really old apartments. I live in a fairly new apartment with district heating (7 years old) and each room has its own thermostat to control the underfloor heating.
