  • A friend of mine worked in Switzerland for couple of years. It's pretty much impossible to buy anything there because everything is owned by investment founds. He worked with two Swiss guys. One got lucky and married a women that inherited a piece of land and was able to build his own house. The other one was renting. According to my friend the levels or resentment and jealousy expressed by the latter were staggering. They pretend it's a good model but in reality they know being forced to rent sucks. Don't let this model become reality in other places.

  • Meh, I don't think any of this matters. The right in US is winning BIGLY and none of those examples, media exposure or voter mobilization really matters. The right in 4 years of Trump managed to ban abortion and take control of the supreme court for the next, what?, 20 years? 30? Meanwhile, Biden and Democrats just sit there doing nothing. US need urgent reforms of education, healthcare, policing, gun laws, judiciary, political parties financing and many more a none of this will happen. The only things that's actually changing is that the government gets weaker and corporations get stronger. The only thing this type of activism can achieve is taking half step back while each Republican term the entire country takes 10 big steps forward in the direction of dictatorship. Looking from outside I'm amazed at how bad thing are in US and how little people realize this.

  • Nice to see Slimbook here. It's a Spanish company. I bought slimbook zero some years ago and it's working really well. I would thinking about getting proper laptop/dekstop from them but in the end I went with Vant, another Spanish company. Vant is not as pretty but has better prices.

  • I was going to say this is not going to work but thinking about it... it might. Swapping stations will be very hard to build and maintain but it's not exclusive technology, i.e. cars with swappeable batters will still be chargeable. So swapping stations will be like ultra fast chargers. You will have big network or normal chargers, smaller network of fast chargers and tiny network of swapping stations in key locations. If this standard will not make the car more expensive it could be an incentive enough for people to buy them. As more cars can swap batteries they will build more swapping stations. It will not become the main way to of charging any time soon, maybe never, but it could work for longer trips.

  • Sure, I guess I just imagined it will be easy to find people to cum in their mouths later in my life so I simply ignored this one random opportunity. Had I known how much time will I have to wait to actually cum in someone's mouth... And how difficult it is to find a random person offering this. It pretty much never happens.

  • In the Netflix show Unorthodox there's a scene where a girl wants to go out but bunch of neighbours standing at the exit tell her that eruv is broken so she has to go back to her apartment and leave her bags. There's no explanation given but I've read about the eruv thing in the past so I knew what's going on. I felt smart.

  • If I'm calculating this right this is supposed to cost around $40m per kilometre (12 bil total for 200 mile project). This is what high speed rail cost in Europe where they are actually building a lot of it. My guess is that in US, country with little to no experience in such projects they will spend about 10x more. The failed HS2 project in UK was supposed to cost £250m/km for the final part. My guess is they know they will run out of money after like 10% of the construction but just want to start building hoping to find more money later. Soon they will start cutting back the project while throwing more and more money at it to prop up the private sector and it will collapse like all the other big infrastructure projects in US.
