  But foreign politics less so. New government in Kenya? Not a big deal. Convicted felon and rapist shitting on the world? Annoying, but there are more important local matters.

  Not equivalent. Let’s measure the aircraft performance by its ability to carry passengers between capital cities.

  It’s baby steps and we need to encourage more investment. Not dismiss the Wright brothers for being unable to fly from New York to London after ten years of development.

  It’s like people who find I don’t believe in hell asking “what’s stopping you from murdering people?”

  If religion is all that’s stopping you, I’m worried.

  Slightly related, I tend to look at heavily advertised products as inferior. Because really good things sell themselves, and all that marketing money ends up in the price I pay.

  My first thought was the reliability. Can you rely on this new tech in a life or death situation. I didn’t even think of the batteries.

  I know from experience that you can cut the tip of your finger off and it will grow back more or less the same. But if you have it stitched back on, it will leave a scar and not feel the same again.

  Companies are made up of people. Companies save money by firing the most expensive people, the most experienced. The ones left have a lot less experience.

  Yeah… Usually I just check the price to see if I can sauna or not. It’s by far the biggest user of power in my apartment.

  Aussie in Finland here. We have an electricity system here with “spot price”. I get charged a price per kWh depending on the forecasted supply (from producers) and demand (from history and other math) and it changes every hour. At the time of writing this it is 0.60 c/kWh (+margin+transmission+taxes for a total of 7.87c/kWh).

  When demand is higher, like winter, and supply is lower (maintenance or faults or no wind), the price can go up to 30-50c, but when there is plenty of power about the energy price can go into negatives.

  This makes an effect on usage and stabilises the system. But probably too hard to set up.
