I haven’t been able to exercise successfully since I moved from home.

Where my parents live there was a great 5km run which included hills, scenery and if you did it backwards it was more strenous. They sadly exploited the fuck out of it and built a railway across it.

Where I live now it’s boring, hard to get to or too slopey.

It’s my fault isn’t it?

I am literally leaving for the UK in 12hrs in hope that the weather would be a bit warmer.

Put lunch and meds with a cup of water in the fridge in a bag the night before. Set a reminder to bring the bag. Make your breakfast the night before.

Prepare her clothes the night before. If you are a morning shower person take the shower the night before. Same with her.

Just because she wakes up doesn’t mean that you have to unless it’s a safety issue. Get up, change her nappy and then back to bed. She will learn to sleep through the night.

Use this extra time to get yourself set. Take another 30min. Eat breakfast, get your meds etc.

Get a play area where she can play safely while you do whatever you need to do.

I mean you could even return the cup at the airport so if you forget to return it in town you could deposit it when you leave.

It’s just like bringing your own bags to the store, sorting your trash for recycling or returning bottles and cans to the store.

Just return the cup and get your deposit back.

Currently we sell the surplus in the north to Finland and Norway as well as to Denmark and Germany in the south when we are over capacity.

What we would need is a better connection between north and south but that hasn’t been a priority until now and it’s 30 years too late.

One of the problems that we have is that a big chunk of the country for a month don’t have a single ray of sunshine due to polar nights. The problem is that that is when it’s complete darkness leading up to the point and going out of it takes time as well so solar is not an option at that time of the year. On top of that most of the land is “disputed” by indigenous people (don’t mark my words it’s a very touchy subject I don’t know how to express it better) or it’s a nature reserve area so wind farms are out of the question. So the only thing we have left is hydropowered electricity which isn’t clean at all as it destroys the natural course of the river up stream, destroys the river beds down stream and extremely reduces the fish populations as well as any greenery relying on the reliability of the rivers.

With that said if we simplify it a bit about 46% of Swedens total energy production comes from the northern hydroelectric plants and wind farms and because of lacking infrastructure it can’t be transferred efficiently to southern Sweden where most of the consumption is happening. Of these 46% about only 30% is currently used but more companies have decided to establish their production in thr northern region due to the surplus of energy in this region.

Southern Sweden on the other hand gets a lot of their energy from unreliable wind farms as well as nuclear energy. However due to the layout of the land hydroelectric is only viable in some places which have already been exploited. We can only install so many wind farms until it affects quality of life to the people and animals living nearby. On a good day southern Sweden is having a net zero energy production and consumption. Those days are fewer and further in between. Currently since closing a reactor two years ago we have had to reinstate an oil burning facility as well as buying unclean electricity from abroad to keep up with demand.

So investing in nuclear to stabilise the production is one of very few options we currently have.

It’s either that or moving either part of the population or factories to the northern part which is not really viable or sustainable eitherm

Weigh a small portion, count it, weigh a bigger portion and weigh to see if the weight/amount ratio stays about the same and then weigh the rest.

It would be a nice experiment to go out in public and make it into a social experiment.

Maybe have a glass box with Bezos amount of rice in it. Put a table cloth on top of it. Put a reasonable size pile of rice on the cloth lets say a tenth of his actual amount. And then ask people to pick up as many handfuls of rice they think Bezos has compared to the single $100k piece of rice. Then show them how utterly wrong they were.

Maybe their tea is weak.

It’s a book. Why does it matter?
