With day ahead pricing it changes... Daily.

Here in northern Europe dairy and meat industry go hand in hand, that is, when a dairy cow stops being productive it gets ground to beef.

For regions where beef as food is more valued than here (beef's so expensive, few people buy it in Estonia), meat moos are entirely different breeds and fed differently. Milk moos might end up as mince, but probably not a quality steak. You don't need nearly as many moos if you're only producing milk, and then maybe some meat products from cows, compared to when you're raising a bunch specifically to be eaten.

Chickens raised for meat also don't lay eggs. So if you only eat eggs and not chicken, way fewer chickens are needed. Also, if you're not even willing to go vegetarian, switch out beef and pork for chicken. Per kilogram of meat, chicken is way less carbon intensive (pork is also less intensive than beef). It's still a lot compared to eating potatoes from your own garden of course.

Mine chimes a quaint little song. It's enough because it can be heard pretty much anywhere in the house unless I'm in the basement. If I'm not home, the notification wouldn't be particularly useful - I might as well just check when I get home.

I mean the idea isn't the absolute worst. I just don't think it's a huge QoL improvement either.

What he's been saying is that NYC has an affordability problem. People can't afford basic necessities (rent, food, transportation, childcare). Can't speak for availability and pricing myself, I don't live in the US.

Now there's plenty of reasons to consider him awesome - those have been listed by more serious comments than mine.

But did you know he used to rap?

Also, right-wing media tried to brand him "Zohran the Destroyer" and very promptly stopped doing so when they realized it sounds way too cool. Apparently he's going to destroy NYC by advocating for 1) raised minimum wage, 2) universal free daycare, 3) A working fucking bus system. He's got personal experience with the problems of the bus system, numbers, a working proof of concept, and a plan to Trump-Proof the city

I'm not even American and I'm rooting for him. Both because he might actually improve people's lives and because he just seems awesome. Been a long time I've seen a politician with his charisma, enthusiasm, and vision. I hope NYC votes him into the office!

Good. Gaming is (should be) for everyone. The industry should be as well.

I can see value in HVAC IoT. Away from home and there's a cold spell? Turn up the heating so your pipes don't freeze, but also run it higher when electricity is cheaper (if you have variable pricing).

I don't think I'd want my microwave, washing machine, or toilet to have IoT features though.

Absolutely. It's just that the guy driving a 15 year old Hyundai isn't exactly the "wealthy class". Laws like this affect mostly people who can barely afford cars, not people who can easily afford them. Actually I think the wealthy would be more annoyed if there were MORE people driving so more traffic jams, but that's not a solution either.

Maks ja Moorits, an Estonian company

The has got to be an alternate route that is nicer than that, that’s wild.

Well they could also be lying or exaggerating to make a point, but we don't really know.

But I get that sone areas are incredibly car centric and leave you little choice.

That's what I witnessed when I visited the US, though I went on the east coast so not as car centric as the rest of the country. Haven't been to India, so I'm not sure how bad it is there for real.

My own country isn't exactly the paragon of public transit, but it's good enough that you've got literal carbrains going "eh I could just take the bus to work and have a fun project car instead of a boring daily commuter". Walking is an option pretty much everywhere too, even the large stroads leading in and out of cities (essentially the highway continuing into the city, really), have sidewalks and pedestrian crossings. If I need to go 1 KM in any direction here, I walk

Estonians had the right to an education in Estonian before the occupation as well. Before Stalin and Hitler carved up Europe.

What would have happened under the rule of Nazism

Unspeakable things. Which is why I'm not a fan of the fact that the nazis and soviets literally divided up Europe to be shared among themselves. The soviets actually enabled nazis initially. They only later fought the nazis out of self-preservation, not principle, when Hitler's paranoia made him make the first move against the soviets.

Non-Russians weren't equal in the soviet empire either. It was a bit less racial than national there though - the people living in the core of the empire had more privileges, it just wasn't official policy.

As you may understand, I'm not against the principles of socialism. It's just that for anyone living in Eastern Europe, history with the soviet union has soured things.

And a meat company has been named after them in my country lol
