FINLAND IS NOT RE-GAUGING ITS RAILWAYS

Just because an urbanist influencer has posted a 6 months old piece (that was anyway inaccurate) about it does not mean it is happening!

Finland *might* lay some additional standard gauge track from Sweden to Oulu

Took the kids to see Frankenstein at the local arthouse theater. Movie canceled after 30 minutes due to someone passing out and puking from supposedly gummies.

I truly hate how most appliances these days have some shitty app with shitty account systems thru some random untrustworthy company required to use all the appliance functionality. Just let me control it on the local network.

I had a second line “foreign exchange“ which is a cost per month phone number paid by distance not time in another area code so that internet access was a local call.
Remember long-distance phone calls?

A decade ago, solar power barely registered in Hungary’s electricity mix — just 0.2% of generation. Back then, nuclear, coal, and gas dominated the grid.

Fast forward ten years and solar power now supplies around 1/4 of Hungary’s electricity — a remarkable transformation.
