    USA is one of the few barbaric countries left. Bad public education, too many police officers with near to no training, high poverty. This is how you increase crime.

    Lucky you. My dad died from cancer when I was 14. That was rough.

    Recently my mom died at 70 years old. The last time I saw my mom alive was at her sister funeral a month before. Three months later, her last remaining sister died. Same year my brother in law also died. 2022 was so far the worst year of my life. Covid was not the reason for any of the deaths.

    But hey, no matter how bad things might be, they can always get worse.

    The 24 meter version is running in Trondheim, Norway. They currently have 58 busses, and are planning to increase with more routes. The city has plenty of narrow streets and a few steep hills, but it doesn't seem to be a problem unless the weather is extreme in the winter.

    Noone knows complaining better than I do. I'm the best complainer, and I know people in the industry that say I'm better than anyone they've ever met.

    Even though fractions makes sense for accuracy in a mathematical point of view, I see no benefit in a practical application.

    I've actually done this successfully. TSA agent knocked on it, and said no problem.

    If i somehow would be stopped, I'd love to argue what is liquid or not, and what could be liquid if it's just hot enough.

    Norway has universal healthcare for everyone. Going to the ER is free. Ambulance is free. Surgery is free. Checkups and tests are heavily subsidised where we only pay a small fee (like $20). If you spend more than x-amount on fees annually, you get the fees waived for the remainder of the year.

    We have health insurances, but that will only allow you to go to private clinics with less wait times. These insurances are normally paid by employers with highly skilled workers. It's not considered to be a necessity.

    The Norwegian healthcare isn't cheap, and we pay around 35-40% income tax, and 25% VAT, but our income doesn't dictate what type of services we're allowed to get. Poverty is low, and crime rates are low.

    Socialism works.
