Moose can be pretty good, but I think I would have to say Turkey

Blackout curtains are mandatory equipment for any Swedish bedroom, in my opinion. There’s no way to get enough sleep without them. Sleep masks also help if you’re particularly sensitive to light.

AC is generally speaking not required, as nights are cool and letting in air can provide adequate cooling for all but the hottest days of the year. This is of course a problem for people like me who are allergic to grass pollen, which is active during summer, but I’ve been able to get by mostly with a fan these days.

But don’t tell anyone because we don’t want more people moving here!

You need to build more housing so that more people can enjoy it, but more significantly so that the people already there can afford it.

I’ve been told it’s positively Mediterranean this year though, is that right?

Well, it begins with too warm for comfort here, and then it gets progressively worse.

Winter is quite nice when there is snow. We don’t get that in Stockholm, for the most part.

Depends on where you are. Miserable in hotter places I’m sure, but in Sweden it’s quite honestly glorious. Sun up from 03:30 to 22 in Stockholm, and it never quite gets dark. Does wonders for your mood.

Winter, however, is a cold, dark and wet mess. Truly depressive.

Spring and autumn are alright, but suffer from just a little bit too much rain.

Naturally, the climate crisis is making things slightly too warm for comfort now, and we’re going to have to retrofit all homes to withstand heat better before too long.

I’ll probably take my sunglasses off inside because it’s going to be hard to see.

If the inside is as bright as the outside, then I might be inclined to keep them on.

School started teaching it at age 9, but really I had started picking it up myself so that I could actually understand how to play the Pokemon Cards by age 6-7 or so

This seems like it could be a fun project. Mind making a post about the build sometime?

There’s no pedestrian in the image.

Cars are bad enough as it is that we don’t have to imagine more problems with them.

Yeah, but surströmming is a completely different food with a smell not at all in the same league.

As they say, if my grandmother had wheels, she would have been a bike.

Because all self-help books are basically the same and they all fit that bill

Heavy on the sauce

Cellulose is generally recyclable but as I understand it degrades through each cycle, until it’s basically unfit for recycling and is more efficient to burn for energy.

Sweden: Late Spring/Early Summer/Early Autumn, approximately May, June and September.

Temperatures between 15-25 °C, low humidity and lots of hours of daylight (18 hours in early June). Great conditions for biking and just all-round pleasant to be in.

Early Spring is too wet, Late Summer is too hot and humid, and Late Autumn is too wet and dark. Winter sucks, unless it’s an unusually cold year and we get consistent snow coverage. Wet and extremely dark.

By the power of podcasts, I have become equipped to handle the Sisyphean daily tasks. I used to dread them, now I don’t mind them at all.

3.2 is like less than 10 minutes on a bike, which can easily carry more than a week’s worth of groceries with the right type of equipment.

Same, but also apps
