Comment Re:I bought some box steel recently (Score 1) 32

I haven't even touched cash since 2019 and the only reason for that was that my weed dealer didn't take credit card. The only time I see physical money is at my local store and it's *always* 60+ people that sometimes pay with cash but it gets more and more rare. Every time I see a person pay with cash I just roll my eyes because it takes time counting the bills and coins and then it takes time to hand back left over money. Compare that to a simple touchless blip on my credit card where the worst situation is that I *sometimes* have to enter my PIN to verify my credentials. Everything is digital in Denmark. Banking, healthcare, social security, taxes, and on and on. I would actually not choose a service or company if they weren't digital. Last time I even snail-mailed a letter was back in 2006. So I'm surprised that you are surprised that we even have 7-Eleven shops here in Denmark. Do you think we are some kind of third world country?

Comment Excess power (Score 3, Insightful) 216

Last week I watched a report from a location in my country producing an excess of 100 KWh because they couldn't offload the power. That financially made them shut down some windmills. Can anybody explain me like I'm an 5 year old why we are generating in excess of green energy that apparently cant be offloaded because we are still using fossil fuels?

My eyes just rolled when I read the word "Loops" because I knew instantly it was just marketing BS for the same failed system Google+ tried to use. I am already heavily invested in other platforms like Twitter and Reddit, and even tried Google+ for about an hour until I simply gave up on literally the most confusing interface system ever. A simple task as just opening a message didn't give any simple way to go back, and I'd have to try and click 5 different levels to come back to where I came from. To this day I still wonder who the hell approved that pile of manure, and actually thought it was good.

I also have a caps lock button that is stepped and never accidentally hit it outside of gaming. I have however accidentally hit the caps lock key countless times in games that require a lot of WSAD keys for movement, like World of Warcraft where a dungeon/raid can take 30 minutes. It got so bad that I even disabled the key in Windows using a registry hack. Funny thing is that I never even missed the caps lock key outside gaming.
