In Germany, you can get fixed rate mortgages from 10 to 15 years around 1% interest. It's fuelling a housing bubble of course.

Not an expert, but the blades are already tricky to transport on land. If they keep increasing in length, it might be only feasible to transport them via ship or transport helicopter. There’s a new planned wind turbine factory on the coast

To expand further on your point, this phenomenon can be seen beyond politics too, in media and culture. Consider the following photos[1][2] of Cambridge Footlights former members. Being a member of this theatrical club, attached to an elite

Indeed, good point. A shame really, as sodium could ease supply constraints and take up some of the burden instead of just lithium.

Whenever I hear "salt" and "battery" in the same sentence, I think of Sodium Ion batteries. Similar to lithium (neighbours on the periodic table), even cheaper and more abundant, and because sodium is heavier it should b

Switch emulation is quite good, and gets better by the day. I have no experience with JoyCons unfortunately. I use an Xbox Elite controller + PS4 controllers. They map extremely well to a Switch Pro controller in Yuzu emulator. Launching Yu

Lightly steamed (retaining crunch, flavour and nutrients), plus melted butter (in moderation) and salt is my go-to as well. For instant pots, there is even a table on how many minutes each type of vegetable should be correctly steamed. That

Scott Adams book "How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big" touches on a similar theme, "systems vs goals". Have a system that takes willpower out of the equation - so you can do simple repetitive tasks everyda

Another strange one is the speech than Rumsfeld gave about missing trillions at the Pentagon 1 day before 9/11, then completely forgotten in the face of increased military spending the next day. https://youtu.be/MfMjdKE

Managing outsourced content writers. I’m building up the side hustle gradually to escape the soul-sucking grind of the day job, and being a good manager of an outsourced team will allow me to take things to the next level.

Not to mention you can leverage skills learned from earlier projects, greatly accelerating your progress. For example, if your project relies on content marketing, perhaps you learned to write quickly and produce enticing YouTube videos, an

There’s loads of online courses and even free YouTube resources where you can get started for free. Learning from the ground floor with something you built from scratch is far more illustrative IMO.

The “gentrification” of football arguably hurt the atmosphere, at least for the bigger premier league teams. There were far more working class local fans singing non stop during the bad old days. If you see older videos the atmosphere was o

Actually GPUs used for mining are typically undervolted to keep power costs down, and by running them 24/7 there is less thermal expansion and contraction so they’re not expected to fail at higher rates than other GPUs. Source: I used

I never said it’s no longer a possibility. Just that for every news event that happens, there is an immediate chorus of “inflation!!!!” no matter the circumstances. Some economists argue that there is indeed considerable inflation right now

My guess is that those who run large financial institutions came of age when inflation was much higher and a difficult beast to tame. Therefore they see the inflation boogeyman around every corner even though it hasn’t been like that in a l
