I'm blessed enough to have been to Varberg (listed on your page next to your name). Amazingly beautiful area. I ate wild cloud berries I found while on a hike in the forest.
AWS is all in house but similar to open stack. Enterprises use VMware. But that's been dropping a lot for like a decade. Containers won a long time ago.
I wouldn't say tech illiterate so much as ignorant or they truly don't care.
Unlimited plans and monthly financing means even a homeless person can get a really decent phone with great service. I'm surprised when I see anyone with more than a phone or tablet.
ISPs won't even upgrade services is low income areas because no one buys internet service. They just don't need it.
BBQ place I go to asks for tips at the checkout counter where you order food and pay. Then you get a number. They bring your food out and bus the table when you're done. But that's it. You get your own drink, condiments, cutlery.
I cannot for the life of me figure out why I would tip before any service is rendered and there's no way to tip after.
I wouldn't call Kia nor Hyundai nor Toyota nor Honda anything close to pseudo luxury. Has the bar been lowered because of all the plasticated electronics and DUAL ZONE AC?
I grind my own pepper too, but #16 aka coarse ground is much larger pieces of ground pepper. #16 is the die size. You technically could grind it coarse yourself, but you'd have to sift it and only keep the bigger pieces. Here's an example: Amazon Brand - Happy Belly Black Pepper, Coarse Ground, 18 Oz https://a.co/d/8e7AWHT But you should be able to find it at any big grocery store. I get it at Costco. It's great for rubs and spicing up stuff just a bit. I think it's the oil that remains in the course pieces as opposed to the smaller grind that allows the oil tooxidize quickly, which mutes the heat in the oil. I learned about it when I got into smoking meat. It's used to crust a smoked brisket.
Sadly, the only place I can get them is IKEA as jam, but yeah.... They are the best!
