I guess renewables are still cheaper.

At least personally and anecdotally, because it doesn't happen often, but it has happened more than once, that I have purchased electricity at negative prices due to overflow from renewables, which is a hell of lot cheaper than paying a tenth of a cent per kilowatt hour.

It makes more sense when you're comparing month to month development.

If you have a perfectly normal child then it doesn't matter to measure anything and you can call it whatever.

However if you're in a maternity group and all the other children started pointing at things at 13 months and yours doesn't, then it might help to remember that yours was born prematurely and you can expect that behavior at 14 months.

Now, you can convert numbers as much as you please, but this doesn't make sense as 1.08 and 1.16 years. You can say one year and one month and one year and two months, but it does makes sense for everyone in the conversation if you use the conventional method of communication which is 13 and 14 months. Don't even get me started on Tiger leaps. Those come on schedule by the week.

It's convention. If you go to a car mechanic to get new tires, you also don't ask for "big wheels" if you want a 226/40R19.

No doubt. But why does the farmer get the money? It would make more sense for the government to buy the land back for good.

The normal age to stop using months is 2 years.

That's because there's a massive difference between a 12, 18, and 24 months old. It makes sense to have and use different references to separate them.

That's a nice idea, but it would be better if the farmers hadn't bought that strip of field to begin with.

Farming is ridiculous like that.

Now the farmers are getting paid your tax euros because they once bought it, destroyed it and took no responsibility for it.

Taco flavor kisses.

Besides obvious bragging, some people just want to tell you everything they know, or some might feel strongly about some topic that they want everyone to know about even if others already know about it.

If you have difficulty understanding why somebody is saying something, you should try to pay attention to how they're saying it. It might explain why, even if their words don't.

He and about 47 others were arrested for being too close to the South African embassy. Charges were dropped.

Is it really a reward not to be obstructed due to something you didn't do?

Not really though. The USA issue wasn't discussed much if at all during the election campaigns, because parties from both sides are in agreement on this. It wouldn't have moved any votes.

Also, the foreign minister who managed the issue well is not from the party in charge. Perhaps he personally benefitted from it, but all the parties in the previous coalition (including his) lost votes, mainly because voters didn't like the unusual coalition. They're going to do it again though. She surely didn't call the election for his sake.

The timing probably had more to do with local news than international. The topics of water pollution, animal welfare, climate and food prices were already recently present before she called the election. It made sense that way.

For people to demand anything you'll need a democracy. For people to want universal healthcare they need to understand that socializing the health cost is a benefit for the population.

Add the words together and you get social democracy.

In most countries this is what lead to universal healthcare. In most countries the social democracy parties were founded by labour unions.

Despite USA being first with labour unions, they never really succeeded, because they were violently struck down early on.

Anyway, it's that simple: Join a union, let the union establish a political party, let the party make universal healthcare. I know that seems very uphill, but it doesn't actually have to take centuries to do.

When the first unions were formed in Europe, the workers also expected it to be a multigenerational battle, and yet decided to try it in the vague hope that it might eventually benefit their grandchildren. However they were so successful that they achieved the goal within their own lifetime.

Yes it is. Their entire vendor shit can go to hell. I don't need a Samsung app-store, Samsung photos, Samsung parental controls etc. on a cheap phone that already has Google's versions of the same crap. It's like having 2 operating systems in constant conflict on the same phone, and the only real purpose is for Samsung to collect your data.
