If you want to be really specific, bones do not rot per se. They go trough diagenesis, where collagen and minerals breakdown over long periods.

Ammo cum laude

Its unhealthy way to grief sure, but the dead dont really care about the respect. I mean in the history of everything not a single person has ever come back to complain about how they were treated post mortem.

Im trying to fight urge to say, “i bet you are often confused.”

Im not arguing anything. Im just saying that progress in sience does not matter if it comes from goverment, or billionare, or dude in a barn.

From all the things billionares could be competing against eachother, space isint the worst. Its not the best thing either, but it is a fuck ton better than buying football teams or building golf courses.

Yeah. It also was american program, but every country benefits from it today. Scientific break troughs tend to get out there.

I mean technologies like imaging improvements used to scan moon made CT and MRI taking better images, Robotics tech that has pushed prostetic limbs and robotic surgery foward, remote diagnostics has taken leaps because, well ISS is pretty remote place.

Dont be a moron. Last space race was not some humanitarian deed from goverments. It was just a one front of the cold war.

Do you really thing that any progress there is going to happen in robotics or anything else wont be commerialized and after some time normalised?

Do you really think biggest capitalists in the world would not try to capitalize on every single innovation they might get on doing there.

You are doubting other peoples inteligence when you dont seem to have any clue how world works. I guess its just easier to think everybody is one dimensional cartoon villain.

I have no love for Bezos or Musk, and they definedly are not saints, or even care about normal people, but they are not going to just sit on some breaktrough technology if they can sell it.

I don’t recognise you.

Well last time when we had space race we got: gps, medical innovations, lighter materials, knowledge about weather helping things like hurricane predictions, better fuel, new methods to preserve food, cordless tools, memoryfoam.

I dont know how those helped humanity at all? Like insulin pumps? What a fucking waste, right? /s

I much rather have the billionare competing with rockets than that they compete with yachs.

Best thing would be if they payd taxes too in same relation to normal people

Goverment is in fact widening the safe zones around many of the lines, but its expensive and slow as many of them go trough privately owned forests so there needs to be some recompence for the lost wood value. Many of the maintanence roads are also done for light vehicles or have been overgrown so heavymachinery has bad time getting where they need to go. As a one point i have heard, but i dont know if its true goverment may want to keep those lines somewhat overgrown to make it harder to destroy in case of war.

New lines are mostly made underground, but its expencive and just insulating the line does not matter if the ground around it moves yearly.

But generaly the infrastructure is getting better all the time. When i was young it was not uncommon to loose power many times a year and some time for long times. Now its not happening even every year and generally the down time is measured in hours or tens of minutes, not in days.

I live near artic circle and snow is really a problem im rural areas. If the roads have not been cleared its very straining to cycle. Wet snow is even worse and in late autum and late spring there can be ice hidden under the snow and even spicked tires wont help with that. Ebikes help with that, but most ebikes arent designed to subzero temperatures and low to middle price bikes emty the batteries much faster. Especially if the battery is fixed to the frame and you need to leave it outside during work or when going to shop.

On the other hand i lived in “winter cycling capital” of the world and you cant compare the well maintenanced bike lanes to rural roads.

(Also i laugh at the notion that Denmark knows anything about winter)

There are about 14 500 km of powerlines in my country and many of those go trough long unhabitabed stretches. Another thing is that where i live ground freezes and that makes the ground shift, sometimes enough to ruin foundations of buildings so there are some real problems to make long underground lines.

But yes. It would be nice if underground lines were easy to make.

I looked in to those, but for those to be effective you need to keep them always charged. Also cheaper ones need air conditioned space and more expencive ones were, well expensive.

I also need three-phase power for some tools away from the home and the convertor for the batteries seemed really expensive and not easy to use on the fly.

And biggest thing is that if something reallu bad happens i can easily get more gas, but recharging batteries would mean i need to go somewhere to charge them.

Another thing that somebody is going to say soon are solarpanels, but i live near arctic circle and during winter the operating time for them is so short i would need to make way too big solar farm for them to be usefull.

Because i cant bike holding fence posts and tools. Nearest shop is 15km one way trip and nearest bus stop 500m away. Long enough so i dont want to carry my groseries by hand.

As for biking i do a lot of recreational bike trips.

We have basic public transit, and id say long distance transport is excelent, but it does not serve me at all when i need to drive because of my work from farm to farm, or i want to pick mushrooms or berries from random forest plots.

Last winter snow pressed trees against the power line and it rook 36 hours for electric company get it fixed.

I live in rural place and both aggregate and car is pretty necessary things.

Yeah we use huddles too. But its not like it always clear when this things is going to be involved or not.

You understand wrong.

I message somebody --> they take ten minutes to answer, with question --> im doing something else, it takes me few minutes to finish or risking losing my tough then i answer --> maybe with good luck they answer right back, but most likely it takes few minutes again.

In the office i could have talked to the person and resolve the thing faster.

Customer service and sales support. The work is on the basic channels. Phone, email and chat and its pretty much allways some variation of few same questions or complaints.

Both customer satisfaction and work effiency started to get worse the longer the lockdown went.

By the way we dont have mandatory office days. Everybody can work from home if they want. The split is now pretty much 60/40 with bigger part working from the office. (I think big part is because it has kindergarden and its in place with good public transport) During summer when parents want to stay at home looking after the kids or when bank holidays make broken week most of the people stay home.
