I have a few bottles which ranges from 1-5 years old. Mostly plastic of the brand Camelbak. They are good, and I don't know what more to ask for in a water bottle. However, more often than not I just end up reusing an old soda bottle.
Yes, I'm 32. Back in 2010 I got my licence in Norway. Norway has separate licences for manual and automatic transmissions, such that the automatic transmission licence is more limited. In 2010, nearly all cars were manual, and getting a licence for automatic transmission meant that you would basically only drive your own car.
Today, Norway in huge on EVs and hybrids, and I think you'll have to search hard to find a new car with manual transmission. I think the stats are that ~70% of new licences are for automatic transmission, which makes a lot of sense.
Sure, I haven't done my research, and the politics of the last few years is basically all I've got to go by. And that's mainly through Norwegian media, which maybe doesn't dive too deep into the history of the people.
My health insurance is fully digital and my country has an official app for driver's licences. This varies from country to country, but I think we're all heading in that direction.
I see. I believe that Apple's vision is that payment cards and drivers licence will soon be fully integrated in the phone, eliminating the need for a wallet case. Not that I'm an Apple user, but I am pretty much at the point of never using physical payment cards, and my drivers licence has a digital version in my country.
I believe it's both. Apple said that they'd be compliant with the EU regulations of having usb-c as a port for any cell phone with a charging port. I don't remember the exact wording, but a valid interpretation was that usb-c is not required if the device has no charging port. I believe apple is moving towards exclusively QI-charging and wireless connection. Reducing the capability of wired connections would in that case just be a way to move the users towards the planned infrastructure.
So it's both a spiteful move regarding the regulations, but also a move which reduces costs and pushes users their desired way.
I've heavily reduced my meat consumption after seing this video. I basically never eat meat in the meals I make only for myself. It's not like I never eat meat, but since getting a bit more informed, I try to respect the occasional meat instead of expecting it several times a day.
I didn't even consider equatorial countries. That's interesting as well. Depending on the season, the literal "sunwise direction" would change, while spring- and autumn equinox wouldn't translate to any rotation around a vertical axis.
I used to be a swing dance instructor, and describing rotation as "to the left" or "to the right" always seemed a bit more natural and understandable for the general participant.
In Norway, restaurants started to implement applications or websites to order at the restaurant. Scan a QR code or download an app (yuck) to order the food and preemptively pay for it. While that might be fine, I find it really strange when I'm asked about tipping when I place my order. I have literally not seen a waiter, I have just sat down and looked through a website, and now I'm asked if I want to tip? Why? What for?
Luckily, 0% tip is very common in all services in Norway, so it's not considered rude to refrain from tipping.
You just made my brain click. I've always wondered why clockwise rotation around a vertical axis was commonly agreed. I have never seen a mechanical- or electrical clock installed flat on the ground. So why would we assume that the clock isn't in the ceiling facing down, which would reverse the direction?
But now that you mention it in the context of a sundial, it seems so obvious that the clock is just an extension of that, making the sun and clock a common reference.
But that bids the question if they have another term for it in the southern hemisphere.
The ISP have probably made careful calculations of how much they can increase the price before people start looking for alternative ISPs. So if we could collectively lower our thresholds to look for alternatives, we could probably achieve lower prices.
Is it normalized? I very rarely hear anyone taking homeopathic medicine or advocating for it. But I live in Norway, so maybe this is a thing elsewhere?
Fuck cilantro.
