We Talk Friday
(WTF)
This is a semi-regular series that I will run on Fridays to hold discussions on a current topic from the week gone. The aim is to keep them light and conversational, though some might be heavier - regardless of the content topic itself though, just have some fun engaging and discussing with whoever happens to put in the effort in the comments section below.
Have you done anything to reduce your fuel consumption?
It is interesting at how quickly the world went even further to hell after a few weeks of throttled fuel supply. I find it utterly ridiculous that we as normal people are still so dependent on fuel for our daily activities, when there are alternatives out there. Sure, planes and boats might need fuel, but why are we still so reliant for passenger cars?
For over two decades (since I have been in Finland), I have tried to espouse that Europe should be making massive investments to ween itself off of oil and fossil fuels in as many ways as possible, since it doesn't have much of its own. It has plenty of tech, but it fails to actually implement it broadly, because instead of being a union, each member is just looking out for itself. But, instead of taking the initiative, Europe keeps choosing the path of slavery to reliance.
There is apparently a couple handfuls of missing or dead US scientists over the last few months that had access to classified or nuclear information. That is pretty dodgy if true, but don't worry, because Donald Trump has vowed to get to the bottom of it, and we all know how good his government is at getting to the truth of matters and releasing it to the public.
Perhaps those scientists didn't believe Tylenol causes autism?
Now that the sun is out and although it isn't that warm yet (for those who are not me and who has been in a t-shirt for over a month already), my wife is sitting on the patio and today realised how much our puppy, Puusti, likes sitting out there. He likes it so much that when it is time to come in, he flops down on the boards and goes all limp in an attempt to stop us. The problem is that his "dead-man weight" is all of about four kilos, so even my wife can overpower him. Just.
My wife likes to sit out in the sun (much to my annoyance) and she is pretty chuffed that the dog is taking after her and enjoys it too. It should come as no surprise to her though, since the dog also doesn't do what it is told, doesn't clean up after himself, and expects to have his belly scratched despite yapping constantly.
