Large town in Sweden. I’d say 95% is within the legal time span in our neighborhood and from what I’ve seen elsewhere it’s fairly similar.
This is excepting no-go zones & rougher neighborhoods, but in some of these areas they literally attack first responders with fireworks so I’m not counting them.
Well, that’s how it is in my country, and mostly respected outside no-go zones :)
Slightly different per municipality, but in general it’s permitted 23-01 around the new year. Outside that, you need to apply to the police for permission.
Being in the proton ecosystem I use their VPN, and it’s been working great thus far.
There’s a lot of money to be made in destroying the reputation of a competitor that actually respects the privacy of its’ customers.
Very interesting read and thanks for the update!
A proper cli will definitely be a useful feature & I can already imagine some interesting applications for the sdk~
Counterpoint
Playing with fire and blowing things up is fun if done responsibly. Really, given the kinds of annoyances that are legal year-round (drunkards, loud exhausts, barking dogs, late-night parties, yelling loudly etc.), it really isn’t that bad to have fire & explosions once per year for like… two hours. (Reiterating, responsibly)
Duskers!
A sci-fi/horror game where you try to survive the vast coldness of space by controlling a group of drones through CLI or individual ones via top-down camera.
Pretty interesting, deep lore and quite atmospheric.
It’s both on Steam & GOG.
Seems to be the same software as the freely available Ur-Quan Masters off-steam, no?
There’s also a HD remaster, which doesn’t seem to be on steam.
Dating is done on apps not in person
Anywhere but apps. In person, irl is where I’ve seen the most success.
Coworkers are not your friends
My coworkers who are friends would disagree. Funnily enough I knew more than one before starting to work together.
Workplace is for working not socializing
Sounds boring. If I’m going to spend half my waking hours somewhere I might as well try and make it pleasant.
Welcome to reality, where happening to know the right person can be more valuable than a lifetime of hard work.
Must be nice to be able to spend $600 on groceries…
That’s more than our monthly grocery budget for two…
This is a decent way to self-exclude yourself from relevancy in the political sphere.
Most of the global left is not strictly anti capitalist but rather advocate more nuanced systems.
…and they wonder why we become EU-sceptics…

People were optimizing for this here in Sweden, then a “peak effect charge” was introduced, where you’re charged extra monthly based on the average of the three hours of largest effect usage. This is dialed in to be approximately 25% of the monthly bill at normal usage (and can go much higher).
Implementing long-distance high-voltage transmission lines is a common counterargument against the inherent fragile and unpredictable nature of variable renewable energy systems.
It’s fairly frequent (several times per decade) to have high/low pressure systems with a radius of 100’s of km, at which point a variable renewable system (wind+solar) can reach an output below <1% of installed capacity (when combined with the winter season) for extended (hours to several days) periods of time.
At that point, there is the choice of grid-scale long term energy storage up to a magnitude of TWh’s (potentially seasonal), long-distance transmission (up to 1000’s of km) or ensuring that other energy production systems exist that can pick up the slack (requiring redundant capacity, which is inefficient).
$19 for a full year per employee is actually quite cheap. Wouldn’t surprise me if it’s a lower cost than they had for KCM. Furthermore, it moves liability from the airlines to the government for any security mishaps.
