Sexist much?

Litigation is not how we fix things in Sweden, the system is very different from the US. The companies will have to take the losses or try to recoup from insurance and update their systems. They might be able to negotiate deals w the fridge install companies.

Marxism-as-a-service?

I have no love for previous presidents but at least they acted more like adults and less like a twelve year old with a grudge.

Me too! Actually a few :)

Wait what?

Someone once said ”all that is solid melts into air”…

Sveriges Radio provides a flac stream of the station mentioned in this piece.

My reference for audio quality.

Free public transportation is a huge productivity boost for society.

AirBNB has been abused as a short term rental platform by more or less slum lords. This has exacerbated housing situations all over the world, I saw it in Berlin. Portugal has had similar problems.

It is not a serious platform IMO. Just like über, it invests absolutely nothing in the infrastructure it feeds off.

The business model of airBnB and Über should not be legal.

Externalizing the costs and privatizing the profits.

Sorry but AirBnB was used for exploiting Berlin rents for years. Lots of ppl renting 5+ apartments and blocking them from locals who needed places to stay. The mother of an acquaintance had to move out of Berlin into Brandenburg bc she couldn’t get a normal rental contract anymore after a lifetime in the city. She was low income on disability retirement.

Gobble gobble

Pretty much yeah.

The bbc doc where all the old Italian guys reminisce about the good old time killing people is great and terrifying..

I fail to see anything optimistic around Musk.

My granddad destroyed a crows nest on the family house and they would chase him when he rode his bicycle to work every morning for years…

Omg please

That the supposedly smart ppl here get their knickers in a twist over this theatre piece is telling.

Literally no proof of this working in real world conditions.

I call bull.

Anyone else think Covid exacerbated this problem?

Should I have written nazi-occupied France?

The one my dad has isn't polished and perfected in renovation, he uses it as his summer car and its got great patina. No exhibition car. He's around 80 now so he had it for 60 years. He took it apart and reassembled it completely at some point. Also drove it from mid Sweden to Italy and back with my mom.

It feels like going 200 kmh when you push it to 80 :)

It was also the ultimate gangster car for European film makers.

The Vichy-french cops use it in Joseph Losey's movie Mr. Klein, there are lots of them on screen at some point. Great film!

Off topic but "hack until the cows come home" put a smile on my face.

My dad has a Citroen B11 from -54 that he bought when he was young at the end of the sixties and has kept alive since. The design is from the thirties and revolutionized suspension at the time, winning races. Citroen has always been at the forefront of suspension development.

From my limited perusal of X through nitter instances it seems literally littered with right wing nutcases and cranks. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Are there any normal ppl on x?

Completely agree, feel the same about facebook et al too.

There are a lot of public institutions using twitter for their communications.
