How dare you. Haha.

Next thing they say, “and we want women and men contributing equally to our commune and have equal rights”

• “oh, so feminism?”

Feminism have suffered much of the same negative connotations, it’s ridiculous.

But still, wouldn’t renewable assets suppliers have an incentive to install assets in these areas? If the spot price is high and they can produce “free” electricity, their earnings are a lot higher than the fossil fuel plants.

Of course, you are right, omnivore. I still get my veggies, haha. My wife never became a vegetarian, and I’m the only vegetarian in our extended family, so I’m minority here and I didn’t really wanted to take the fight. Also, I try to hide the fact that I don’t eat industrial meat, from my kids. I don’t want to influence them in anyway, and if they ever want to become vegetarian, I hope it’s not because of my influence but because of their own reasons, if that makes sense.

We have an overpopulation of red deer in our local area. I’m buying it from a local estate and they only have the stock they have. If a product is sold out, it’s sold out until the hunting season begins again. I actually don’t mind that in any way. I absolutely hate industrial farming, but I don’t think there’s anything wrong with regulation of wildlife, and it helps in preserving biodiversity.

Tons of wildlife meat goes to waste each year in my country, and it’s instead used for other purposes, e.g. Fertilizer.

Besides that, for those who want to eat meat, it’s seems illogical to me, not eating the meat we have at hand before starting to buy meat from industrial farms. I believe it tastes better in every way than what you get from industrial farms.

I’ve been vegetarian for almost 10 years, but then I got kids and we didn’t want to make separate dinner each night, so now I also eat wild game, e.g. pheasants, red deer, wild ducks, etc. Am I just a regular carnivore or does there exist a word for my weird ass choice?

I still haven’t eating any meat from conventional or organic farms for more than 10 years.

In denmark he have the tradition of eating kransekage which is only available in bakeries and grocery shops around new years eve.

Gav det noget at læse/høre det på svensk? Og har du en præference mellem dansk, svensk og engelsk? Gad egentlig godt være den type nørd der læser den samme bog på flere sprog, men holder mig egentlig mest til danske oversættelser, når det er skønlitteratur, selvom jeg godt ved det lidt er en skam, når jeg kunne læse de engelske klassikere på engelsk.

Senest har jeg læst Mary Shelly - Frankenstein og Jules Verne - verden rundt på 80 dage. Ellers har jeg tidligere læst Orwell, Dostoevsky, Coelho, Steinbeck, Kundera, Bukowski, Jack London, Kierkegaard, Stangerup, Scherfig, Pontoppidan, m.m…

Jeg kunne forestille mig at hun har købt noget med George Elliot, Dickens, Hardy og måske Vigirnia Wolf og Shakespeare hvis hun er rigtig træls. Håber på at der også er Dumas, Joyce og Homer blandt.

We usually get blinis with caviar and Crémant. We haven’t decided on anything else yet.

Jeg fik 12 indpakkede bøger af mine kone i julegave. Én til hver måned. Til hver bog har hun skrevet en intro hvor hun har skrevet om fx hvad forfatteren er kendt for, tiden bogen er skrevet i, hvis der er en bestemt skrivestil det er værd at være opmærksom på, og andre stilistiske greb, som man måske som lægmand overser i gamle klassikere.

Jeg har ikke pakket nogle af bøgerne op i endnu, så jeg ser virkelig frem til at komme i gang med det.

Mine kone gør det samme. Hun hører alle bøgerne 2-3 om året, og har gjort det de sidste 10-15 år. Hun har også Harry Potter Trivial Pursuit, men der er kun én som kan konkurrere med hende, så det er ikke ofte det spil kommer frem.

We try to engage in each other’s interest, even though we have completely different hobbies. My wife is quite spiritual, so when she learns something new, we discuss it and I try to understand it and I challenge the topic and we have a good talk about it.

My interests are mainly about technical stuff, and she tries to understand what I’m working on.

But mainly we stare into the void for a good hour after kids are put to bed, and then we discuss practical and mundane boring stuff. But, we insist on being more than roommates that shares responsibilities, so when we aren’t sleep deprived or too overwhelmed by parenthood, we have deep conversations. We also work a lot on our selves. We have high ambitions for our self and what kind of life we want for our family, so we talk about our dreams and how we best realise them.

I don’t know how wide spread smart meters are in the US, but it should be fairly simple so have an extra tariff on these kind of consumers, or perhaps just tariffs during peak periods.

At least it could be enforced that the surplus heat from data centers had to be reused in some way, could be residental heating or ptx.

Torrentio have been unstable for me the last couple of days and i couldn’t get it to work a few hours ago.

I don’t think it’s all bad in the long run. A higher base load also give higher incentives to install renewable energy. In Denmark we have issues with the cannibalisation effect, i.e. We have reach a point where it’s no longer financially viable to install more renewable assets. We often see negative power prices on windy and sunny days, which forces the renewable asset owners to either turn off their assets during these periods, or pay the negative spot price.

In certain periods they might have cheaper prices than regular consumers and in other periods it might be more expensive. They just have a fixed price agreement. No producer of electricity hands out free power.

How would that work? With a flat fee or depending on whether ai companies are tipping the scale to a more expensive marginal price within a price period?
