It's definetly on the weak side, sadly, the political will isn't there anymore =/

@BruceVC@Gorth I stumbled across a very pretty picture today about Swedish power production, consumption, import and export. It's not very granular but it's pretty good, it doesn't show regional imports and exports though Vattenkraft = Hydro power Kärnkraft = Nuclear power Vindkraft = Wind power Biomassa = Biomass Fossil = Burning babies Solkraft = Solar power

Heh, Sweden moved it's vaccination goal forwards today to all adults having recieved one dose in September. It's going great here

Just EU doing EU things with the internet again... This regulation is very well thought through as usual, I especially like that other EU member states can decide for themselves what terrorism is. And since terror isn't really a thing, but a feeling, I will be submitting a demand that all of Facebook be banned, because nothing terrifies me more than the stupification of people that use it and the exploitation of minors and adults data.

Let's not forget reliability, sometimes there's not enough wind to use the turbines, rare as it might be, so you can't have it as a "base" production. Nuclear doesn't have this problem.

I Rosling. Rest in peace. Sweden has never really depended on coal or oil, we had some gas powerplants early on, but we're lucky in that we have pretty good natural resources in the form of water, so early on we built hydropower. Come the 60's we had basically all our power from water, and then people got tired of ruining the rivers and destroying the fishlife and we had protests against further building of hydropower and shifter the focus to Nuclear Power instead, we had some oil as stopgaps and emergency reserves while waiting for nuclear to come online, but come the 80's we had ~45% of our power production from water and ~45% from nuclear, and the rest are from miscellaneous stuff like burning woodchips and trash for heat and power. We've got some coal and oil powerplants that are for emergencies and are rarely used. We have massive problems with moving about electricity from the hydroplants in the north to the south were people live, and we're closing our clean nuclear powerplants, so we export alot of our clean energy and import coal power from Poland instead. In the 80's after Harrisburg there was a referendum about nuclear power with three no options, surprisingly the vote fell on no more nuclear power and after Chernobyl there was a "thought ban" on nuclear power, meaning no plans whatsoever are allowed when it comes to nuclear power including a ban on mining uranium. We've built some windpower farms now, but they're a real small part of our power production still and that is basically were the plans are. Wind and water, all of it. I'm a bit tired right now so there might be some errors in the exact numbers and my despise for our current route is pretty overwhelming, but there it is. We need to get our heads out of our asses and build more nuclear, especially since Swedish Steel production is going to move from fossile to green production come the next decade and eat up basically all the northern water power for their steel production, and nuclear power over it's lifetime is much more clean than even wind and safer aswell.

It looks to be just what I want in the 40k universe though, I doubt it'd be qualitative in any way but I'm probably still buying it.

I honestly don't know wether to laugh or cry at that. Did both. Yeah, I remember looking up my BP medicines I take, in Sweden I pay about ~55$ total per quarter or so, though I don't know how much it'd cost with insurance, just over the counter prices are really high. Using drugs.com, my 100x100 spironolactone costs 25$, while in the US it's double. My Felodipine costs 24$ here and 162$ in the US, Candesartan costs 7$ here and atleast 180$ in the US. I mean... c'mon. If you need frequent doctors visits here in Sweden it is capped at 120$ per year, and I'm quite friendly with all my doctors. We do have to pay all dental costs out of our own pocket, and it's ludicrously expensive.

I dare not think about what the tests I have to go through yearly would cost me, a couple of them takes several hours of a specialists time. Kidney blood flow through and similar.

The land of the free isn't alone, housing prices in Gothenburg has risen quite a bit the past year, 15.9% https://www.maklarstatistik.se/omrade/riket/vastra-gotalands-lan/goteborg/#/villor/arshistorik-prisutveckling And about 30% in my home town https://www.maklarstatistik.se/omrade/riket/vastra-gotalands-lan/alingsas/#/villor/arshistorik-prisutveckling

Well ofcourse, the car has a brown coat of paint.

After the past few weeks of work , I would take you up on that offer and even learn to cook A recycling company is building a new facility just behind my workplace, and as it's been dry for the past week or so the air quality is awful. My throat is dry and sore, my eyes feel like someones put a belt sander to them, I'm covered in dust and since it's been really warm today, it's sweat bound aswell my nose is gunked up with black snot. But I did reach a new milestone in my car today at 4/20!

Battlebeast are great you should try out their song "Ninja".

It's glorious!

Lucky bastard. Meanwhile the Swedish Reichstag is considering to extend the emergency pandfemic laws until 2022. Feels guuuud. Goddammit, I wish I could move off the grid. /envious of @Guard Dog

Thank you, I am now a Breatharian.

Oh, right, sorry, been inebriated most of the day

You must hate drivers licences aswell then. And all other forms of licences to. They're meant to protect others from you.

Best of luck!

Except it's also to stop you from becoming this; (NSFW)

I remember listening alot to Nordman when I was really young, I never knew anyone had made covers of them, and now I learn that both Blackmores Night (Journeyman) and Ensiferum has done so

Covid cases dropping after vaccination begins? Who could've thunk

Secret of the Runes was one of the first Metal albums I ever bought. I wonder where it is... >_>'
