Feels weird, this year has been insane with work and orders and now the boss is saying we're gonna expand and built an assembly line to make production more efficient. So I got work cut out for me, been going to work every drat day except when I had vacation. My work is located in a rural municipality of 2200 people though.

I keep intending to buy some booze but I just never get around to it. It's also very expensive here and most times I am near Alko (state booze monopoly) I have often bought a shitload of groceries and stuff and don't feel like burning more money. I am very cheap so I guess this hinders my efforts at increasing my alcohol consumption. I should get some baileys (or rather some cheap knockoff) to put in my coffee.

My own car a Yaris, 800€ ish in taxes and insurance.

edit: 470€ of that is the very high tax on diesels in this country (upside is diesel is cheaper than gasoline).

Kinda OT but did you know that if you have your personal account linked to your company's FB page (I am an admin on ours) it seems like it can lead to your personal account being exposed to outside access.

My coworker got a new office smart phone and he asked "is this your personal FB feed?", the FB app came preinstalled and apparently logged on with my account automatically. Nobody ever typed in a password anywhere on the phone.

We deleted the FB app from the phone, I don't have the FB app on my personal phone either.

I really want to find out the chain of events that lead to this, I am confident it has something todo with me having to link my personal FB account to the company FB page and that is probably linked to our google acccounts or something.

And people wonder why I delete all my posts, comments, unlike all my likes periodically.

I made a post on the support board about it and I will continue to see what kind of chain links my account to the phone (all I can think of is google accounts, but that shouldn't be possible IMO), it is really indefensible for the app to work like that regardless of how it's linked

Do you actually think the CCP "does politics for the good of people"?

Outmanouvering developed economies by being systemically dogshit, be it workers rights, environmental externalities, international law etc while also being a literal loving dictatorship isn't alleviated by some wanky thing that isn't even a welfare state developing. The CCP is noblesse oblige at best and frankly it isn't as good as that.

Sounded to me from that tweet that the CCP will be forcing people out of their homes and into cities where they can be used up in factories. It's all got very british industrial revolution undertones, reminds me of the british land reform when they took all the common land from the farmers and they then got ground to dust in hellish conditions in factories in cities.

Yeah if they mean to remove their internal migration restriction system (i.e. the hukou permit system) then if anything that's allowing natural migration to happen, rather than restricting it to avoid overwhelming urban infrastructure (if we're being charitable anyway).

I think the hukou permit system was used as a means to deny workers health care while forcing them to live and work in the cities and so they would not have to spend money on expanding the health care and other infrastructure to match the increased need.

If they really wanted to help people in the rural areas IMO they could've spent some money on infrastructure and education where they where living, instead of doing stuff like building ghost cities. This made me wonder if they're trying to make people move into those places, or if they want them as fuel for their existing factory hubs / just a way to depress wages.

When I was looking up information surrounding it apparently Sweden has recently opened a new type of steel plant that uses hydrogen rather than coal:

http://www.theunfilteredlens.org/2020/08/31/sweden-opens-the-worlds-first-sustainable-steel-plant/

I thought we used electric heating for steel since quite a long while back in both sweden and finland. I know it's hard to get coke here for blacksmithing, hardly anyone in the country uses coal or coke so I can only get it like from two places, one fart north and one far south.

EDIT: Does seem the plants in Luleå in Sweden uses coke and coal for steel. And me who read about electric blast furnaces being used way back in the early 20th century in Sweden.

Going back to electricity chat briefly, I think you'll enjoy this Dutch weirdness. How would you hook up a 7.2kW single phase electric hob? 32A breaker and appropriately sized 3-core cable, right? Not here!

Instead you take 2 separate 16A breakers, a 5-core cable, attach your two lives and two neutrals, and away you go. But isn't this horribly dangerous, because if you lose one of the neutrals, the hob will continue to work while sending 32A down the remaining one? Nope, because the neutrals in the hob aren't commoned, it's effectively two independent hobs in one.

It took me (a fake electrician) and my colleague (a real one), a lot of puzzling to figure that last bit out. Turns out it's a perfectly normal thing over here, called a "fornuisgroep" (hob circuit), and local electricians look at your weird when you question it!

Actually wait I misunderstood your description, this doesn't require a 3ph setup like I assumed it would.

A lot of the increases in efficiency in petrol and diesel engines in recent years have been eaten up by cars becoming heavier. It's partly understandable because heavier usually means more safety features, but it allows for more luxury features too.

I fully think once we move further towards electric cars and fuel consumption stops being an issue for buyers cars are going to get huge. Especially since everyone wants the largest battery pack possible even if they only use 20% of it.

They are gonna need to pro-actively legislate against that IMO.

I never liked this notation, because higher = worse. mpg bad too because you don't know if it's US or imperial notation, but what's wrong with km/L, you'd know how many L of fuel you'd need for a journey of a certain length without having to upend it?

I like it for the opposite reason, because more effective = smaller consumption = smaller nummber feels more logical to me.

I have never calculated how much fuel I need for a trip, I either just gas up for 20 (half tank) or 40 euros (full tank).

Was having a chat with the ol’ mother this morning and it got a touch political.

Now bearing in mind i’ve managed to successfully convince her that Brexit was not a good idea, and that Boris was fun on Have I Got News For You but is actually a pretty awful person and a poo poo politician and bad for the country, my latest challenge is that she thinks Corbyn is a nasty person who shouldn’t have been let back into Labour.

She almost exclusively watches BBC news with a smattering of Sky, and I’m very out of touch with Corbyn / Labour / anti-semitism, so what are the key points I need to bear in mind? My vague knowledge from reading here is that Corbyn became leader, saw their was problematic behaviour in the party, tried to deal with it, got sort of blocked for a couple of years but made some progress, but not enough for that report and his “failure” to reduce anti semitic behaviour to 0 was used to smear him all over the walls.

Basically looking for a brief / concise fact check as I’ve pretty much no faith in any news media these days.

Didn't the EHRC report basically exonerate Corbyn personally?

Over here (FI) it's common to find ready made pie crust in the frozen section, folded up in brick form, sweet or savory depending on what you want.

I really wonder though why nobody in Finland has realized you can sell pie crust already pressed into an aluminium form like in the US and probably elsewhere... That's strangely absent. Personally I don't tihnk you save much time buying those bricks of ready made crust so I just make it from scratch most of the time. Now I could see myself buying ready made crust in forms since that would be a real time saver.
