  • News on car sales are always presented as monthly or by quarter.

    That way, everyone gets a participation trophy by breaking the records in the period that they actually deliver a new model to the tarmac.

    I don’t blame the news outlets. Reporting on record car sales is kind of boring when the 1966 Toyota Corolla is still the most sold car.

    I have no doubt that Tesla actually managed to peak for a while in the category “American sales of electric pick-ups trucks”.




  • Driving manual is not difficult, but unlike the opposite scenario, it’s not something you can learn with only short instructions.

    It does take time to develop the motor skills in order do it without thinking about it. The practice wlll take maybe an afternoon or two if you do nothing else. I’d advise you to do it over more than one day to allow yourself to sleep on it and come back at it

    Once you’ve learned it, you’ll never think about it again though.


  • All military parades are ridiculously embarrassing.

    I remember when they used to air the annual Scottish tattoo on tv.

    I mean, it’s probably fun for anyone who participates or has a hard on for bagpipes, but for the rest of the world, it’s a ridiculous event where an audience shows up to watch men in uniform walk in beat and show their rifles in sync. It’s like square dancing, but only for men, and longer guns.

    Good thing that I can switch channels, so I can watch syncronized swimming from the Olympics instead. I like their uniforms better.












  • Det er ikke helt uden udfordringer.

    Vertikalt landbrug har (så vidt jeg ved) et ret begrænset udvalg af afgrøder. Primært salater, urter og og andre småting.

    Væksthuse I Danmark har også en klimamæssig belastning som f.eks. gør at det er bedre at transportere tomater fra Spanien end det er at opvarme drivhuset i Danmark om vinteren. Det vil også gælde andre planter.

    Jeg er helt enig i at det kan og skal udvikles med støtte. Måske kan stordrift gøre det bedre end de nuværende forsøg, men jeg tvivler på at vi kan lave en 1:1 produktion af det nuværende landbrug i vertikalt landbrug. Det er nok bedst at erkende at de store marker trives bedst under andre forhold og så fokusere på de ting som vi kan lave her.
