Well, it begins with too warm for comfort here, and then it gets progressively worse.

Winter is quite nice when there is snow. We don't get that in Stockholm, for the most part.

Depends on where you are. Miserable in hotter places I'm sure, but in Sweden it's quite honestly glorious. Sun up from 03:30 to 22 in Stockholm, and it never quite gets dark. Does wonders for your mood.

Winter, however, is a cold, dark and wet mess. Truly depressive.

Spring and autumn are alright, but suffer from just a little bit too much rain.

Naturally, the climate crisis is making things slightly too warm for comfort now, and we're going to have to retrofit all homes to withstand heat better before too long.

Oh shit, my bad. Yeah, hard agree there

Car supporters claiming that idling from reduced capacity will make the air pollution situation worse are now permanently btfo and must never open their mouths again

Wild claim to make without backing it up with anything. Additionally, with no grids being fully non-renewable at this point, and everyone trending towards renewables for economic reasons, this is just flat out wrong

Additionally, the platform being owned by an outright Nazi should give even the most out of touch people pause.

How is Daniel Ek a nazi? That's a wild take if I've ever heard one.

It's not my favourite intervention to improve transit, but it does have some benefits, like reduced dwell times from faster boarding on buses.

The important thing is that it might get a candidate elected who can perform long-term improvements.

We have a machine that I use for hip adductors/abductors at my small gym, and with that I do these exercises:

We also have a thing that allows me to do this exercise: https://exrx.net/WeightExercises/HipFlexors/WtDeclineSitup

I've previously also done this one, but no longer feel that it gives massive benefit and as such I don't actively have it in my rotation currently: https://exrx.net/WeightExercises/ErectorSpinae/WtHyperextension

I might revisit it as a part of the core assistance work I do as a part of my 5/3/1-routine.

Tom Scott once upon a time made a video about why the UK plug is the superior overall design, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEfP1OKKz_Q

I run a Switch as well but not quite as complex as your method, although with some similarities I suppose.

Approximate method, probably mostly based on James Hoffmanns method:

21g beans / 300 ml water / grind setting unknown, not too fine not too coarse I suppose

  1. Prewarm Switch with 100 C water while grinding beans
  2. Heat water to 70 C
  3. Pour 42g water, ensure everything is wet
  4. Release water and let bloom for 45 seconds
  5. Heat water to 100 C while waiting
  6. Close switch, pour 208g water (scales now at 250g)
  7. Let steep for 2 minutes
  8. Stir bed
  9. Steep another 30 seconds
  10. Release, pour another 50g water
  11. Enjoy

Tangentially related, but I really enjoy Hard Fork, which covers the tech industry generally.

 

Om vi bara kunde få till ordentlig investering i järnvägsunderhåll och utbyggnad. Man kan bara drömma.

 

Ebba Busch visar sitt sanna jag som patologisk lögnare. Likt Jimmie Åkesson försöker hon direkt kopiera Donald Trumps strategi att bara säga osanningar för att försöka gynna sig själv. Kommer svenska befolkningen vara lika dumma som den amerikanska i nästa val? Det kvarstår att se.

 

Genomvidrigt. Stå upp emot neofacister i alla lägen.

It's probably time we admit cars that are a bit too useful as weapons to continue affording them the vast uncritical access they currently enjoy in our built environments.

Tänka sig att jag var glad när jag såg att investering i tåg gått igång långt i norr, också blir man tvungen att se att de tagit bort på andra platser.

Dubbelspår mellan Gävle och Sundsvall måste byggas om det ska gå att få någon form av effektiv tågtrafik för orter norr om Sundsvall och söderut. Hela sträckan är tungt belagd och inga tåg kan idag köra över 100 km/h. Med dubbelspårsutbyggnaden skulle det gå dubbelt så snabbt över sträckan för mycket betydliga tidsbesparingar, för att inte tala om hur pass många fler tåg som kommer att kunna trafikera sträckan. Trafiken är idag också väldigt bräcklig, och ersättningsbussar måste ofta sättas in.

 

Dags att städa ut lite i regeringen.

 

Bra att det byggs mer järnväg, men det behövs mer.

 

This post is inspired by me seeing an ambulance in the bike lane by the apartment building opposite of mine.

By this point, I'm sure we've all had just about enough of anti-urbanists and NIMBYs claiming in bad faith that bike lanes and bus lanes will be obstructive for emergency vehicles, and as such cannot be built.

You're probably well aware that exactly the opposite is the case - cars are the principal obstruction for emergency vehicles, and emergency vehicles can actually make very efficient use of bike and bus lanes to shorten response times.

I propose that we flip the argument on its head by rebranding bike and bus lanes as Emergency Vehicle-lanes, which just so happen to afford permission to buses and bikes when not in active use by emergency vehicles (which is of course already the case, everyone is required to yield any space to emergency vehicles, at least where I live).

This way, we kill this particular argument against bike and bus lanes in its crib, and expose the opposition as being actually against emergency vehicle mobility, in favour of having more lanes to drive their cars on.

Let me know what you think!

 

Det vore riktigt häftigt att se en stabil järnvägsförbindelse till Finland.
