I'm not sure about the amount of gas, however it is quite common to make the ground floor of concrete here in Norway. However it's not solid, it has a core of Styrofoam to insulate so it. The rest of the houses are usually of wood

A (deceased) artist named Theodor Kittelsen [1] has made quite a few illustrations [2] for many of these tales (and other Norwegian stories and fantasy creatures). He lived not far from where I live and my famly and I often visit the combin

I was at Isla Mujeres (island outside of Cancun, Mexico) a couple years ago and I was walking from the dock to the hotel with my baggage when an American stopped on a golf cart of sorts (they were all over the place) and asked if I wanted a

I would be much more impressed if it said “Apps intended for kids may not include advertising or analytics” As it stands now it seems rather empty and in relation to recent news something that could fuel the anti-trust talks. Edit: consider

It sounds like the cost of the credits is not high enough to make a real dent. Another effective way of doing this is adding the cost of pollution into the price of the car as tax making ICE expensive and electric cheap. That is done here a

Hopefully there will be some tests for this, there are so many of these computers that have onboard 1 gbit card that share the bus with other devices so that in reality you can't route 1 gbit. For my current router I had to buy separat

This started a long time ago, I remember during the Bush/Gore election the media using "some people say" as a intro to a topic, as if those words validated the entire thing and had to be responded to. Might have started earli

Delaying maintenance of nuclear plants to save money. What could possibly go wrong? But the part about the fire started by poorly maintained electrical cables. When a company gets a license to operate as an electrical utility, does that lic

Not OP, but I live outside a satellite city to Oslo and I feel like every 5th car I see on the road is a tesla and every other car is an EV of some kind. Many E-golfs, leafs and a ton of other ones. So there are some parts of the world wher

Ah, that is true. Home ownership is quite high here [1], 77% of households own their own home. A lot of that is mortgaged. I can't really find equivalent numbers to that in the UK. A lot of the land is "utmark", like out side
