Maybe I am wrong, but at least in some contexts one can get a mortgage in a foreign currency. In which case it would be beneficial to use the more inflating one if they were the same rate, wouldn't it?

Makes sense, thank you! Actually that would go in line with my suspicion that 'the market' predicts/trends towards a 2 USD = 1 EUR rate within one or two decades.

They bought a starter home for say 100k which is now 200k. But the family home they now want tripled in the same time from 200k to 600k. So even though they now have 100k more, they need 400k more for their desired house, while only 200k be

Are mortage rates that high everywhere in the US? 7%, or 6.625% sound ridiculous to me in norther europe. I pay 4.54% now with roling 3 month-fixed rates, but its going down now, and I could get it for 3.55% if I fixed it for 5 years. 30 ye

It's funny. Had one halogen lamp flicker around 9pm but even though I knew about the eminent events, my first thoughts were 'power failure or lamp at end of life?'

Thanks, though that specifically why I am questioning that it is the EU in this case. Because rt.com is reachable in Sweden just fine, including sub-sites. Which, to me, says that it must be national sanctions, or at minimum, national lists

I am very much aware of this but as I wrote, I do not consider this blocked as the servers are very much reachable and what you show is that the DNS does not resolve. That is not what I consider blocked by the state. And yes, here in Sweden

Do you have examples for Europe blocking Russia? Because all I have seen is DNS providers omitting certain sites (i.e RT), but their apps still work (plus URLs when using other DNS). An nothing of that coming from the nation states as all s

Because when there is no pilot, the airplane simply does not fly. Nobody dies, there is just an economic damage. But if there is no doctor, people still get ill, and then people die. Which makes it ethically easy to impose the one but not t

Same experience in Sweden. It took me 1.5 years to get to full European healthcare (i.e European Health Insurance Card). Only to learn that moving within the country, they basically lose all your health records. Seems digitalization is not

Most of Europe doesn't even check if you have a ticket before boarding a train. Some countries check tickets at the station, but I have never been checked for anything else. And there have definitely been incidents.

Yes, of course cycling is most popular in the Netherlands because geography and climate are most ideal there. But the same is true about infrastructure. If it exists, any form of transportation becomes widely more popular. Just think of Oul

The wind number seems to include everything, i.e transport etc. To have a fair comparison, one would need the number of premature deaths in uranium ore mining etc. Without that, it is kind of apples to oranges. (And I don't want downpl

As I said, just cycle in winter. Your chart says that it does not get muggy from November to April, i.e half of the year. And yes, I do not mind the cold, and do not need it flat, I live in Stockholm and not in Amsterdam.

That is an excuse. There are many people in hilly cities that cycle. Not as many as in the Netherlands or in Denmark, but they exist. And even Norther Europe gets days of 30 °C (~90F), and we do not stop cycling, its rather the other way ar

Because than you do not pay 10k per year anymore (as hostels cost extra, compared to trains in his case). Also, in a year, you can stop multiple times in many places. Also, apparently, he also travelled around Europe with interrail, during

by patall 3y ago
He got that. 10k is everything he spent in a year. I.e money spent for showering somewhere, extra food beyond lounges, and the interrail ticket when he travelled europe for some time.

I would not. Five (six, seven?) years ago, we had style transfer with video and everyone was also super euphoric about that. If I compare to those videos, there is clearly progress but it is not like we started from zero 2 years ago.

Technically, solar and wind are dispatchable as well, and much better than even natural gas at that. Grids were both are regulated on the sub-second scale are much more even than is otherwise possible. The thing is just that we consider tha
