I enjoy the darkness more than the endless sunlight in summer.

When most of the day is like winter night and the sun just comes out hesitantly between like 10 and 14. All the bugs are dead and the plants are sleeping. Everything is cool, quiet and clean, little spots of light here and there. A gentle powder of frost on everything. Feels perfect.

In the summer nature just goes completely nuts and the sun is battering you 20 hours a day. Everything is out of order

Mysig. The less well marketed version of hygge. Christmas lights.

Ahh, suspected as much. I know I haven’t been following Swedish politics as much as I probably should but what’s the deal with moderater who believe that climate change is just a lefty panic myth?

Are these people not aware or are they ready and willing to cook to death just to make another buck? :psyduck: Maybe it was arrogance on my part to think that climate denialism was something seen on the other side of the Atlantic.

They see it as big nanny-state nonsense, they feel FYGM about it (this is most old conservatives), they think it's fictional or they're just very naive and think that it's something that will resolve itself.

There is also the appeal of SD-voters being predominantly climate deniers which is a group M desperately wants to win back.

quote:

"We respect the Scandinavian company and our business relationships, and we have tried for more than a year to settle this issue without going to court," says the company's CEO, Svetlana Afanasjeva. "Our company suspects that the managers of the Swedish company are misusing the advantages of a general contractor, deciding to stop payments at a time when a large part of the work that was based on the contract had already been done. It is no coincidence that the payments stopped when there was upheaval in Sweden's real estate market which may have harmed the business indicators of Veidekke. The real estate market in Sweden is a ticking bomb, because developers are using communal associations which may face lending obligations. This, in turn, may cause risks if not all of the flats in the buildings are sold and the developer thus cannot repay its loans. That means that the debts basically rest on the shoulders of those who purchase the flats”.

Nothing going on here.

A couple of gangs who fight over drug selling turf, basically. Also an increased influx of hand grenades and bangers in the criminal infrastructure. They use young kids to place the explosives as an entry way into the gang, and then they keep on a revenge spiral and everyone gets hosed up. Pretty much 100% of all bombs have been targeted at gang members or shops/businesses who are either doing or are connected to some shady business, such as the illegal taxi trade. The internet café close to where I live that got shot up was known to have drug dealers operating there, etc.

e: the most recent one was with plastic explosives though. An 18-year-old who injured himself by exploding it too early.

Centerledaren säger att förhandlingsresultatet med S på ett övergripande plan ser bra ut, men att det är för många utredningar och vaga besked. Den avreglering som Centern vill se av bostadsmarknad och arbetsmarknad går inte tillräckligt långt. Hon hävdar att Vänsterpartiets krav uppfyllts, men inte Centerns kravlista. Därför säger hon nej.

I liked the part where they looked at one lasagne for traces of horse and found that it contained no meat what so ever.

You got all these companies trying to make meat substitutes and ending up with ground mushrooms tasting like smoked Styrofoam. And through the power of capitalism some lasagna-in-a-box factory does it by accident.

Once upon a time the nozzle on the meat slurry tank got clogged and no one noticed.
