  Idk why people shit on Coldplay, they sound fine

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Emma Watson banned from driving for speeding⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Speedometers are not allowed to display a lower speed than the vehicle is running at all under EU regulation - see eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=… § 5.3

  Displaying a speed slightly higher than actual speed is common and an acceptable margin of safety, such that if you are driving at the speed that the speedometer shows, you are more or less guaranteed to not exceed the speed limit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Emma Watson banned from driving for speeding⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The amount you are allowed to drive over the speed limit is in fact 0mph (0 km/h for us Europeans).

  Tolerance of violations of this is a sign of a deeply broken society

  I assume it must be a very misguided A/B-test, one which I imagine won’t actually roll out in the end.

  Musicians were getting screwed by labels long before streaming became a thing, and labels are still mostly where the money disappears to

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fart kontrol⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  ‘Fart’ does refer to speed occasionally, but the key here is that it’s always called ‘Hastighetskontroll’ in Swedish. Note the double ‘L’ in ‘kontroll’ and the compounding of ‘hastighet’ and ‘kontroll’.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fart kontrol⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is either Norwegian or Danish.

  It’s true that ‘fart’ means speed in Swedish, but in this context ‘hastighet’ would be used (~‘hastiness’).

  Americans unironically believe stupid shit like this, hilarious

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon likes trains⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not to shit on your perfectly reasonable parade, but in Germany there is high speed rail through the whole . takes about 6 hours from top to bottom.

  Maybe not a great example there, with that running something like 100 km/h average speed.

  If you bump those numbers up to be competitive with actually high-performing HSR operators, that trip would take 2-3 hours, immediately killing any competitive edge that air travel would have on those segments - 2-3 hours will basically get you to the airport and through security, you’ll have arrived already if you were on a well-performing train by then.

  HSR is the best alternative for any trip up to approximately 800 km, at which point air travel starts beating it out. This is for daytime travel only - trains could be competitive for far longer distances with overnight sleeper service. I’d not be against taking night HSRs going between any points in Europe basically.

  Alas, this would require non-shit politicians, which definitely does not exist

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You mean it gets worse?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Anyone who says ‘These years are the best of your life’ are really just telling you that their life peaked at that age.

  If you play your cards right and have a large serving of luck, this will not be true for you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Delicious⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  In Sweden, where cinnamon buns are from, the use of this kind of glaze does not exist - we use pearl sugar instead.

  Also, the concept of Soggy Biscuit in Swedish is called ‘Runka bulle’, which loosely translates to ‘Wank Bun’, where bun by default refers to a cinnamon bun. So anytime we see a cinnamon bun with glazing, this is the only thing that comes to mind.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bruh, chill⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I haven’t seen this in Sweden, while speeding is fairly common.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bruh, chill⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Why the hell is speeding so normalized?

  We have such a fee as well in Sweden, but piracy is still illegal and prosecuted.

  I enjoyed it. Probably not the best movie ever made, but a solid two hours of decent entertainment

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Partner has ADD, do I have misophonia?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Partner is also suffering from depression so every freaking time I begged to please turn the tv off, it’s just ended in a 30 minute therapy session at home on how I can improve myself.

  That does not seem particularly healthy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scientists have been studying remote work for four years and have reached a very clear conclusion: "Working from home makes us happier."⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This whole thing is just garbage and should probably be taken down -

  • The writing quality is low and looks AI generated
  • It doesn’t actually link to a study that agrees with its conclusions
  • The one study that was linked shows the following results:
    • More sleep (+27 minutes)
    • Less physical exercise (-50 minutes)
    • Worse diet (reduced amount of calories from protein)
    • Higher alcohol consumption (increased amount of calories from alcohol)
    • “no changes in weight or wellbeing”
    • “however, their impact on health and wellbeing may accumulate over time.”

  I don’t think it’s even out of the question that the study actually supports the opposite conclusion, but all of this of course doesn’t matter since there was a massive confounding variable involved in that there was a global pandemic going on during the study.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Software engineer lost his $150K-a-year job to AI—he’s been rejected for 800 jobs and forced to DoorDash and live in a trailer to make ends meet⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m very happy I started hedging early in my career by saving a very large fraction of my income. Working in tech has been excellent for me, but there’s never been any guarantee that this will last forever. At that point, I will probably be ready to live off my savings, should that become necessary. Then it doesn’t really matter what any market looks like - I will be able to do whatever I feel like during the days.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’d be likely to be a root cause in that case.
