Cardiac posted:I used to be in Stockholm like 1-2 times a year until like 5 years ago and I can’t recall it being this bad. I live here. It's always this bad, but sometimes the bad is different. Really cold winters break femurs, the subways and commuter trains. Heavy snow mostly breaks the roads. Warm winters causes death by leaves to anything that uses rails and death by drowning of idiots who think that they can use the "frozen" Mälaren as a shortcut everywhere.

I got a friend who works for Volvo. His department used to have "fancy fridays" when they dressed up in suits for work and then went out for drinks afterwards. Now they have a new american boss who has instituted "hawaiian fridays" where people are expected to dress in aloha shirts. So now my friend goes to work on fridays wearing a three-piece suit, tie and a ghastly floral-pattern shirt. It's awesome/terrible.

The best part about working in sweden is that you can just dismiss your boss entirely if he wants you to do anything that isn't directly work related and there's no risk of being fired like in America

Katt posted:In Ulricehamn they just add more sand on the snow until you got an icecream sandwich of like 4 layers of snow and 3 of sand and the only way to drive anywhere is to drive around the whole town to the top of the hill and then drive down to your destination. Meanwhile the state road going through the town doesn't have a snowflake on it because the municipality has no saying on the salting there. And yet a single day doesn't pass by without some sort of R40 disaster. And hey, saw you guys got a McDonald's, welcome to the big league!

Use salt on sidewalks you cowards. I was bleeding from both palms this morning after slipping on the ice and then slamming my hands into the gravel which does jack all for pedestrians.

Fader Movitz posted:Embrace your inner pensioner and get a pair of broddar We used to have them for free in Gothenburg but now the new M led local government has pulled the support citing costs. This is totally ignoring the enormous cost for any health care associated with old people slipping on ice here. I assume the yearly total cost for the whole broddar program is less than one or two ice broken pensioners becoming hospitalized and getting a tacked on health burden that will increase general care costs, and that total cost will go up, but that cost will come from another budget so the city gives no poo poo.

The total cost is basically a rounding error in the municipal budget. It is ludicrously cost-effective from a societal perspective.

Like you say it’s different budgets so nobody pays attention. Also aren’t there other reasons behind salting or putting gravel on surfaces? I think someone told me that once the snow and ice is there gravel works better then salt?

Looks like Støjberg is good with e-mail like Abuella, proving she outright lied not only to parliament, but to the Ombudsman himself. He has now reviewed the e-mail acquired by Information and it undermines her entire explanation. She claimed it had nothing to do with her unconstitutional and ECHR-violating instructions to separate asylum seekers without appeal, and therefore wasn't subject to the Ombudsman's request for relevant documents, when in fact it was solely about that and states clearly that there were to be no exceptions to the instructions. Rule of law is dead if this doesn't result in impeachment.

It is kinda interesting how bad the ice situation is in Stockholm. Especially in comparison to larger cities with more snow. Also, the mass transit is kinda interesting in that it took me more than one hour to go a rather short distance. Which was kinda ridiculous considering it was one of the posher areas of Stockholm. Obviously housing prices have little to do with actual transport here. Which I find funny considering I have about one hour to central Copenhagen from home.

The metro has been making GBS threads itself the last few days. Was okay before that tho The [not so] funny part is that much of it isnt even weather related. Its just gently caress you signalling faults on top of the familiar millions of tons of snow

Since HSB sold the hyresrätter I live in the new private owner, a skräcködla, has opted to not use a plough vechicle but rather a bunch of dudes with shovels. And to get them to clean the parking area you have to call them several times and THEY get pissed off.

I'd never raise kids there because they wouldn't stand a chance when they had to move to Gothenburg to find work. Kids in Ulricehamn think Borås is like New York city.
