Comment So they will run crappy generators? (Score 0) 347

So now lawn companies will need to run a crappy loud generator and run extension cords around the yard when working? Ok, that is going to be much worse for the environment. Converting rotating power to electricity, running through a long extension cord, then converting the electricity back to rotating power is a huge waste. Very in-efficient.

Finland To Introduce Four-Day Working Week and Six-Hour Days [Update] (standard.co.uk) 173

Finland's new Prime Minister has called for the introduction of a flexible working schedule that would involve a four-day week and six-hour days. From a report: Sanna Marin, the youngest female head of government in the world , has announced the intention to trial the initiative, which she claims could be "the next step" in working life. The 34-year-old leads a five party centre-left coalition - all led by women. The Social Democratic Party leader told NewEurope: "I believe people deserve to spend more time with their families, loved ones, hobbies and other aspects of life, such as culture. This could be the next step for us in working life." UPDATE: After being reported by the Evening Standard, Guardian, Independent, and many other outlets on Tuesday, we have learned that this news is not true. "Not only are these proposals not included in the Finnish government's policy program, multiple government sources told News Now Finland on Monday evening that it's not even on the horizon," reports News Now Finland. The Helsinki-based media project explains the origins of the story in their report.
