At best! I’ve tried for a long time to use it, but given up. It fails to find even well known locations in densely populated areas, directions are terrible, and in many cases you just get gray blobs where detail is crucial. I use the web ve

You Sir have precisely understood the essence of what I was trying to say. Working for the "enemy", if you will, definitely comes at a price – but that up front cost could save you lots down the line both in time and capital, simp

> Get angry at banks? My response to anyone serious about competing with banks: go work for one. Banks are often portrayed as these evil faceless entities that act completely in their self interest. In reality, most banks that matter are

But certainly not for lack of trying. In Sweden, it’s fast becoming nigh impossible to pay for things with cash, particularly in places like restaurants, cafés and bars. If you have a business that deals in cash, banks make it almost farcic

Which banks are desperately trying to get rid of.

When I was a kid my dad would occasionally get lost when we were driving to some other town – usually to pick something up, I'd reluctantly tag along as the carrying help – and every so often he'd stop by the side of the road and

That's how I read it too. Maybe a bit presumptuous to add such a plaque right away and not, say, as a clause in a will or something – the building might be gone in five years, after all. But I didn't really read it as self aggrand

So what you're saying is that it'd be more impressive if he was older?

Yeah it's unfortunate. It started I guess with TV makers implementing processing to fix problems with broadcasts before digital came around, and then just got progressively worse over time as the makers try to out-do each other with fe

Depends on the set probably, but in my experience most TVs still do some processing.

Man, HZD looks insanely great at 4K HDR on a 65" OLED – buy far the prettiest game I've ever played. It doesn't play at 60fps though, as far as I know it's capped at 30fps. Presumably they can't guarantee stable fra

And as prints, too! I'm thinking of ordering a big print of this, maybe not the 60", but 36" would look pretty good on one of my walls I think!

Beautiful – thank you for sharing this!

Fair enough, but no land border, which significantly simplifies the logistics of an attack. My point about the nonchalance in Swedish culture towards Russian aggression however is less about those involved or otherwise supportive of the mil

Unfortunately, LTE for Series 3 isn't available everywhere and specifically it's not available in my country. From what I hear, it probably won't happen anytime soon either, if ever. :o(

No kidding, this also works in large organizations when teams/departments want to increase their budget. Create a project using some buzzword tech, or say you will integrate it in an existing project, and the people with their fingers

With a very important caveat: it takes FOREVER to sync not-very-many songs with the watch. This isn't a problem if you're bringing your phone as well, but if you're going for run and don't want to or can't bring you

The paranoia is real. I'm of Swedish-Baltic descent and since a very early age was taught that Russians are not to be trusted, for the very reason you mention (occupation.) This paranoia runs very deep in Baltic culture, in my experien

I agree, but as a contributor there’s only so much you can do if the receiving end isn’t, well, receiving. Plenty of people try to contribute but either the receiving end is unreasonably difficult to work with – or, as is perhaps more often

Yeah, this is a much harder problem to solve than most people realize, particularly in areas that see a lot of snow. In Stockholm you see these signs as well, and in fact on winters with a lot of snow you’ll see people literally shoving sno

Kind of, yeah. I liked the article and found it interesting, even said as much, but given the title I expected to learn how the name came about and I didn’t. The article doesn’t do what it said on the tin, as it were, interesting as it may

Tl;dr: no one knows how they came up with the name. It used to be called other things before branding became a thing. Board minutes don’t detail where the name Smarties came from, just that it was decided. The title is a misrepresentation o

The merge – or crossing if you will – is going to happen at some point anyway . The point of driving in the cycle lane would be to do the merge first, well in advance of the turn, and once you reach the turn you can safely proceed with the

by mstade 9y ago
Do you also stay still while doing this, or do you have to monitor what’s in front as well? If not you’d effectively have to monitor three separate directions all at once. Seems to me it should be safer to block the cycle lane to avoid havi

It really can’t be explained, can it? Anyone remotely interested in space exploration will have their jaw on the floor, dragging it all along the way. I have lots of pictures from there of course, but none that are able to convey the scale
