  • Aussie in Finland here. We have an electricity system here with "spot price". I get charged a price per kWh depending on the forecasted supply (from producers) and demand (from history and other math) and it changes every hour. At the time of writing this it is 0.60 c/kWh (+margin+transmission+taxes for a total of 7.87c/kWh).

    When demand is higher, like winter, and supply is lower (maintenance or faults or no wind), the price can go up to 30-50c, but when there is plenty of power about the energy price can go into negatives.

    This makes an effect on usage and stabilises the system. But probably too hard to set up.

  • I take trips to Tallinn. Beautiful city. I use the car share apps there for convenience. Pick up a car and park wherever. I get to try out many different cars, if only for a while. I hate touch screens. One even was set with brightness to zero and I was unable to change it.

    Dials and knobs for everything please.

  • And to all the cyclists who use a bright led lamp on their handlebar, remember to also point them down, not straight ahead. I've been blinded as a pedestrian and a driver by cyclists who don't position their lights correctly.

  • I once wanted a Harley. The name was synonymous with manliness and freedom.

    Now I see that they only have the image of manliness, and the owners are people who need to be assured that they are manly.

    If I ride again, I'm getting an electric bike.

  • Years ago in Germany, some people worked out the odds of getting caught without a ticket and found that it wasn't worth buying a ticket. They formed a group and if anyone got fined, they all paid the fine together. Then when the government found out, they doubled the fine.

  • I was walking through the city, watched as a man in a suit in front of me (I was walking behind him for a couple of blocks) picked up a briefcase beside a newsstand and got in the passenger seat of a waiting black car which drove off.

    I'm in a spy movie, I guess.
