If you visit a representative of the Finnish government in their office, you need to check in and your visit gets put on a list that anyone can request.

The same thing should be done for phone calls. If spend all your day talking to tobacco companies while being the head of healthcare, maybe you should be scrutinized.

Stock ownership should be public information as well.

There’s a lot of atheists in this thread.

The question was: what’s your religion?

Atheism is as much of a religion as ‘off’ is a radio station.

When I was a kid, we played pacman. A literal puck who eats pixels and takes turns chasing ghosts. We turned out fine.

It’s not like that’s what caused us to go to rave parties, listen to beepy music and pop ecstacy pills.

The EU has strict climate goals to push away from fossil fuels. The current goal is to ban the sale of new combustion engine cars by 2035.

The fuel here contains a bit more renewables, which also costs more o produce. Still, more than half of the cost of fuel is tax. They had a nice tax break for buying a new electric car for a while, but that window has passed.

Over in Sweden it would be hard to replicate these results. Gasoline is ~18SEK/l ($7.5 per gallon).

My electricity production cost changes by the hour, so I can steer my cost by charging when it’s costs are low. Taxes and transfer costs give me a minimum of about $0.07/kWh. A smart charger that picks when to charge based on price can probably average you a cost of $0.10/kWh over the year.

All rooms have their own thermostat. 19-21°C.

I’d go colder at night, but we have a newborn who doesn’t do blankets yet. Need to keep it kind of even for her sleeping bags.

Lead is used as a stabilizer in brass. So, commercial you’d never hit food safety standards with a brass nozzle.

Personally, I’m not so worried. I’ve made some 3d-printed cookie cutters. It’s heaps safer than the stainless steel cookie cutters we had as a kid that my old man had repaired with 60/40 soldering tin.
