Most American cities use a distance or block system.

Most European cities use the odd/even system. Each plot increase by two on either side, so one side of the road has 1,3,5… and the other has 2,4,6…

If a plot is later subdivided or more houses are built on a plot, its new addresses will get post-fixed letters a,b,c,d…

Hydro is the OG boiled water.

Sun heats water. Water evaporates. Go up high. Falls down. Turn turbine.

Wind power is a side effect of the same process happening on a rotating globe.

I guess renewables are still cheaper.

At least personally and anecdotally, because it doesn’t happen often, but it has happened more than once, that I have purchased electricity at negative prices due to overflow from renewables, which is a hell of lot cheaper than paying a tenth of a cent per kilowatt hour.

It makes more sense when you’re comparing month to month development.

If you have a perfectly normal child then it doesn’t matter to measure anything and you can call it whatever.

However if you’re in a maternity group and all the other children started pointing at things at 13 months and yours doesn’t, then it might help to remember that yours was born prematurely and you can expect that behavior at 14 months.

Now, you can convert numbers as much as you please, but this doesn’t make sense as 1.08 and 1.16 years. You can say one year and one month and one year and two months, but it does makes sense for everyone in the conversation if you use the conventional method of communication which is 13 and 14 months. Don’t even get me started on Tiger leaps. Those come on schedule by the week.

It’s convention. If you go to a car mechanic to get new tires, you also don’t ask for “big wheels” if you want a 226/40R19.

No doubt. But why does the farmer get the money? It would make more sense for the government to buy the land back for good.

The normal age to stop using months is 2 years.

That’s because there’s a massive difference between a 12, 18, and 24 months old. It makes sense to have and use different references to separate them.

That’s a nice idea, but it would be better if the farmers hadn’t bought that strip of field to begin with.

Farming is ridiculous like that.

Now the farmers are getting paid your tax euros because they once bought it, destroyed it and took no responsibility for it.

For people to demand anything you’ll need a democracy. For people to want universal healthcare they need to understand that socializing the health cost is a benefit for the population.

Add the words together and you get social democracy.

In most countries this is what lead to universal healthcare. In most countries the social democracy parties were founded by labour unions.

Despite USA being first with labour unions, they never really succeeded, because they were violently struck down early on.

Anyway, it’s that simple: Join a union, let the union establish a political party, let the party make universal healthcare. I know that seems very uphill, but it doesn’t actually have to take centuries to do.

When the first unions were formed in Europe, the workers also expected it to be a multigenerational battle, and yet decided to try it in the vague hope that it might eventually benefit their grandchildren. However they were so successful that they achieved the goal within their own lifetime.

Same. The vegan patty has better consistency than their actual beef.

The show “Sylvester & Tweety Mysteries” aired in 1995-2000, so it makes sense if the merch and licensed products are from that period too.

This is then slightly newer than the other stuff on the pile.

The character on the body board graphic might give a clue. I don’t recognize it, but the drawing style of the eye looks like early nineties Disney.

… because they did have it?

It wasn’t universal at the time, covering only the poorest workers, but Germany was the first country to establish a social health care system in 1883. It didn’t work very well during the war, but it was technically still there. Since the war, they gradually expanded it achieving universal coverage sometime in the 1980s.

Too bad for people who are monthly paid.

Trying to censor kids shows isn’t feasible. They’re going to find out anyway, or it will be a massive culture shock when they eventually hear their first swear word as adults. I’d rather take the opportunity to talk with my kids about it if they watch crap.

SpongeBob doesn’t really bother me, but if they watch Alvin and the Chipmunks I always ask them to use headphones, because I can’t stand that shit.

Maybe it’s time to cut ties.

Let the CEO do his business with AI only. Let the developers do their own business without a CEO and without AI.

If I can predict it, I’ll skip to the last step and just not attempt to do it.

This works because the person who is supposed to remind me of the task has a to-do list that takes about two years to go through. By the time she gets to reminding me it’s already irrelevant.

Too fast IMO. You’re setting yourself up for a less than ideal situation. The guy is going to come home tired from work to find you there, not even having had the time to take a shit and get cleaned up before beginning to think about wanting to do anything with anyone. Everyone is different for sure, but from a pure practical view you’re overstaying your welcome.

I’m afraid you’re overqualified. It’s an entry-level job.

Perhaps someone with higher standards like you would be a better fit for our penny-farthing department.

Humour was very different when they first started. There was a turning point in the late 90s with Mandrilaftalen and stand-up in general.

Everything prior to that was just boomer humour with repeated punchlines.

I also can’t believe Tim & Gordon still have status as funny TV celebrities. They had one show 30 years ago where they told the same fucking jokes in every single episode.

But at least they weren’t as bad as Ørkenens Sønner. Even at the time they aired on TV, you would be able to find their entire joke catalogue on the joke page in the magazines that old ladies read at the hairdresser.
