We do have one problem that could do with a technical solution: If we managed to invent a carbon removal technique scalable and cheap enough to deploy on a massive scale, we'd still be able to prevent the worst. The problem is, current

It's a way to make some money for poorer people too - collecting the bottles from the bins and public areas of the city can be quite lucrative. One plastic bottle gives you 25 cents, one beer bottle 8-15 cents.

An automatic co-pilot would be nice indeed. It should also hand me drinks and snacks and keep me awake with conversation. ATM it's still a co-pilot job to translate navigation system information into actionable directions in foreign ci

I found a method that leaves them together for 3 months. That's an improvement at least. (Of course that means that the calf will take most -but not all- of the milk during that time. But then it is stated that the cost for the vet goe

On bikes? Bhahahaha.. I don't think so. On the other hand, I've had good success with driving a car like I ride a bike here in less rule-abiding places to fit in. Rule-following seems to be a function of the sensibility of the rul

I have found I actually really like fruit even more than sugared sweets. The problem is that it's too bothersome to eat them. It helps a lot to separate preparation from the moment I want to eat something, like cutting and packing an

Here's some more random rules: - Any maneuvering should be done with the gas pedal only. If you have to brake you are too fast. (Unless there was one single(!) idiot.) - In general, it's good to track every car you see and extrapo

In Germany we have identity-as-a-service provided by post offices. You go there with an ID and the form and they send that form with confirmation to where it is needed. It's quite commonly used to open an account with an online bank, f

And don't get me started on group work (because it's 'pedagogically useful'). You get a team of 4-5, 2 hours and a task that can be done alone in ~10 minutes, 20 if you try and integrate the whole team. And then you&#x27

I'd read that as 'pick your battles well'. You can work hard at things and get nowhere, you can work hard at other things and make a ton of progress, and these things can sometimes be estimated beforehand. You can keep churni
