Open office bullshit with 100 desks cramped in one room. need to wear noise cancelling headset all day to be able to focus on work. shitty screens, mouse and keyboard.
At home i have:
- Peace and quiet environment to focus on work.
- 2* 27" screens
- A proper keyboard and mouse
- Better headset for teams meeting
- Don't have to stand up in a "phonebooth" with my laptop to have teams meetings with a 10 year old headset that sounds like a tin can.
- Don't need to listen to music or youtube videos to drown out the chatter of all the people shouting to the guy that sits 2 desks behind me.
- No people that sits on my desk when they want to talk to the guy to the left or right of me, making my screens and keyboard dip and wobble.
- No disgusting toilets, where know my pants are going to be pee soaked if they touch the floor when i sit down there.

This summer i have changed my position on how i want to spend the rest of my life. I was supposed to work another 15 years until retirement age at 70.
I can't do this anymore. I am willing to sell my house, car and get rid of everything I own and move into something smaller, and even rent.

I have 2 jobs offers from people who need my skills, it can all be done remotely. it is less pay and also way less hours. I can move to a warmer, cheaper country within the EU. live on the money from the sold house and working half of the day remotely.

Work in the office sucks so much that nothing that money can buy is worth it.

I will move on, but my machine that runs Windows 10, does not support Windows 11.

I don't really care about TV or movies anymore. Also don't have much time for it.
But I wanted to see the latest episodes of South Park. I can't find any steaming service that offers their latest episodes in my country(Denmark). Their own side used to stream their show. IDK if they still do that but they didn't allow it outside the US.

Yes, I could pay for a VPN and find a streaming service and go through that, but it is not worth it to me. I don't "pirate" it because I don't care that much to figure that out and spend time on it.
So they could have made money from me if it was easier and readily available. :)

ChatGPT has done this for a long time, you can turn it on/off by yourself. If you subscribe it has a larger memory of how to respond with relevance to you.

Wasn't this what Bitcoin was supposed to help us avoid?
I haven't been following the whole crypto currency for a while, what went wrong. Too volatile? I remember hearing something about it not scaling well for small transactions?

Turn off AI when they have a power shortage. :D
migrate the workload to a data center somewhere else.

Or divorced. :D
But probably don't feel like going dating again.

I would not mind that at all. I don't see it happening, even if the politicians agrees on it, it would probably take 20 years to get it built and that is assuming the next politicians in power wont stop the project before it is getting started.
We are sadly not going to get nuclear energy here ever.

It is a good point, my installation is old and so all it can do is activate a control line if production is over a certain watt. I would probably need a new inverter with CT clamps on the power into the house so it can monitor that.
I am contemplating replacing the inverter with a newer one. there are solutions now that can mitigate that problem. Batteries also seems to be coming down in price. as well are systems that can monitor the price. it seems like a lot of things are happening in that market right now.

For the last week, here in Denmark, I have had to PAY to get rid of my solar electricity, had it not been because I disconnected my panels before driving to work.
I produce 30-38kWh pr day this time of year if the sun is shining And the price was negative and i have to pay a transmission tariff for every kWh sold. I reconnected my panels when returning home from work and the actual productions was only about 6kWh instead of at least 30kWh. This weekend the prices also were negative although it was cloudy. I was home so I charged my car and did not disconnect the panels.

So who can make money from creating green energy when you are not getting paid for the production in summer when they produce the majority of the electricity?

I was promised to be able to use the grid as a battery, by having my meter running "backwards", which was why I invested in solar panels back in 2011. At that time the cost price of the installation was triple of what it was just a few years later. It didn't take the government more than a year to walk back that promise, on which I had based my calculation for the next 10 years.
 

Top speed. 230 km/h is more than i need
Refueling time: yes. i spend 5 seconds plugging in when i come home. the EVSE is right by my front door. I spend less time refueling my ev than stopping at gas stations.
Range: I use 18-20% of my battery every day, i use 70% to visit my family in the other side of the country. they have a EVSE, I use my RFID tag to pay at their house. On time a year when i Travel through EU i do have to stop and charge but that is a small inconvenience to all the upsides
kerbweight: I dont care, it doesnt matter.
Towing weight: I dont care i dont need it.
Good in the cold: it is fantastic. it is warm instantly, it can de-ice itself. the added weight and 4 wheel drive makes it excellent in the snow.

And my daily commute is just bliss in a comfortable smooth ride in silence.

You can report videos on YouTube but there are no option for fake content. I have seen multiple videos with fake voices and random b-roll but you can't report it.

But today we have to deal with "second screen content", a strategy by Netflix and others to generate content that people can watch while they are on their phone.

It is not enough with just visuals, everything must also be said, preferably more than once because people are not paying attention. The pace should be slow so people can keep up.

if you think I am kidding or i am making it up myself, just google it. :)
(I don't subscribe to streaming services anymore, but that is mostly because i need a second job these days to keep up with inflation.)

So is this the first state in the US with a high speed rail?

I guess if you parked it warm with 20% or less in the battery it could be an issue. I get a warning on the screen if the weather is around freezing and I park at home with less that 15% that I should plug in to charge.
Other than that it could be the 12% battery had died so it couldn't even run the electronics and activate the contractor to the high voltage battery.
