Most companies don't listen, these guys did. Many times when people did the right thing, they had to go through a process first.

It would have been if they did it completely on their own, maybe even designed the system for this possible outcome from the beginning.

But it's the end result that matters. They can release the source or they can not. They chose to release it, and that's great!

That's actually a really good analogy. Most people would accept that going for a walk is free, and that tax money (in most cases) paid the path.

Difference in quality? Hmm, probably not.

But with the homemade ones, you can add fillings. Put the æble (apple) back in æbleskiver.

Just before the final turn to make the sphere complete, you can add

• A piece of apple
• A little applesauce
• A piece of chocolate
• Nutella (can also be injected into store bought æbleskiver)
• Other fruits
• ...

Sometimes I use the method to make dinner instead of dessert, inspired by takoyaki (Japanese squid balls)

I make the batter with less sugar, slip seasoning you don't think belongs in dinner. Maybe use broth for liquid. Here the fillings aren't a bit in the middle, more of a 50/50 mix. I can fill the hole in the pan with fillings, then add batter. I like 2-3 different kinds of filling.

• Bits of ham or other meat
• Cheese, for example cheddar or feta
• Leafy greens like cabbage or spinache
• Sweet vegetables like corn or peas

Look for "madæbleskiver", there's so many fillings and dips.

In my country I pay for health INSURANCE through income tax. I get healthcare for free. I call it free because I don't pay to go to the doctor or the hospital. ** So why is this distinction important to me? Because this means I don't have to worry about paying for healthcare. I don't save any money by not going to the doctor. I don't loose access to health care if I loose my job. As long as I am a citizen here, money and healthcare are two unrelated concerns.

I know that money is going from my salary and in some way to the hospitals etc, there's no way around that. But this way I don't have to worry about it. Not when paying my bills, not when needing health care.

But in both cases they need landlords, right?

Until that exists, we need landlords. Right?

On the other hand, rented homes has lots of demand, and that is only possible if someone else owns it.

Landslords provides a service that people need. Although not all landlords does it well.

Ah yes, that is an important distinction. Although for now, I'd say recycling instead of trashing is a big improvement. Especially if the trash ends up in nature.

Here is in Denmark they are at 100%, because that's our law. As far as I know (as a consumer), it works just fine.

All soda bottles and cans can be returned in (almost?) any store that sells them. When we buy, a small deposit is added. When we return the container, we get the deposit back.

The deposit is adjusted every now and then to keep it small enough to not significantly affect customers buying power, but big enough that most people want the money back.

"It's on 3 now, I should do something."

Does something

Waits two hours

AMS says 2

"Is it at 2.0 and dropping to 1 any moment now, or is it stabilized at 2.9? Or..."

I guess it's not important, but I really would like to have some decimals. It's not that I care about accuracy, but I would like to be able to see which direction it's going.

So 1920 rows x 1080 columns.

No, it's definitely 1920 columns and 1080 rows.

So yeah the sticker is right but OP is wrong.

I don't know what the sticker is trying to say. I can read it in two ways, and one of them is kind of correct while the other is definitely wrong. And that is unnecessarily confusing, and therefore mildly infuriating.

I don't know what you think OP is wrong about.

These numbers refer to the rows, so the horizontal resolution.

Yes, that is the number of rows. But that makes it the vertical resolution. There's 1080 pixels from top to bottom. If the arrows/triangles are indicating the direction of measurement, they are wrong.

I suspect that it's an attempt at indicating a wide screen. 16:9, 16:10 etc was fairly new at the time, many buyers would be expecting their usual 4:3 screen ratio.

Number of features that is has? Sure.

Number of features that I need? Google Sheets wins.

As I use Excel at work, I'd be happy if you prove me wrong here. Just yesterday I needed to do a simple search/replace with regular expressions. My solution was to copy the data to Google Sheets.

I spent some time looking into this, getting nowhere. What's your favorite library that actually works for you?

I don't use a sound bar because it's cheap, I can get surround sound for half the price.

I use a sound bar because I don't want speakers anywhere but on the TV, plus a subwoofer hidden away.

And it sounds waaay better than just the TV.

(Although the box said that it delivers surround sound, but in that respect it's no better than the built in speakers, as expected.)

No. But running a library in an illegal way is. Legal libraries pay the publishers.

Charge the powerbank with the public charger. No data to steal, no expensive phone with sensitive electronics to break.

But I have seen multiple phones get harmed by a really bad charger. Although these chargers were not for public use.

Still, it's not a bad idea to bring a power bank. And then charge that, if you need to.

I don't know about Germany, but in Denmark (their neighbor to the north), you ask the employee for a statement from the doctor. The employer pays the doctors fee, and there are strict rules about when they can even ask for it.

They can just leave it at full.
