  • Well…I think you lost me. The really sudden loss of your job sucks, no matter what. I agree that a lot of people get laid off every day, but I feel sorry for them too. Employee protections in the US are also terrible compared to a lot of other countries. This situation is different, because it is so random, so far reaching and connected with a lot more insecurity. An ailing company may fire people…that is something you can see coming, but what is happening right now is just senseless and not very smart. A lot of things will break and in the end people will die, many people will leave the country and the economy will tank.




  • I hate typing on my phone and English is not my first language, so I guess the point I was trying to make didn’t quite make its way through. Sorry.

    The more conservative party left the coalition because they value their “sovereignty” and “independence” and thus don’t want to play by the rules of the EU. To me they basically just trade one Dependance for another. They want to still be able to sell their oil to the EU, so they depend on EU’s demand for oil, but they don’t want to give up some freedoms even though that in turn would bolster their independence in the energy sector (even more local renewable electricity production, improved infrastructure that would be less susceptible to failure, and so on).

    It just makes no sense to me. The EU directives are actually quite in line (or could easily be spun into line) with the ideals of traditionally conservative parties. Yet everywhere (not just Norway), those parties HATE renewable energy. And I think it is pretty clear that money is the big factor here…

    Also…maybe I’m blind, but nowhere in the article it’s mentioned that Norway produces its energy with hydro?


  • I’m always surprised at what their argument is. “Don’t make us invest in cheap renewable energy that will make us independent from other countries”. Sure, they export quite a bit, but that makes your economy dependant on external demand. In all other areas the right leaning parties want to sever themselves from outside influence, except when it involves money…

    I…don’t get it. This is an old way to help a child that has something stuck in their throat. I mean, the heimlich maneuver was first described in 1974, so I guess this WAS in fact the best technique at the time. Keeping someone from suffocating is kind of important, and this seems like something you can do fast and easy (at least with a relatively small person).





  • Hubschrauber sind sehr kompliziert in der Bedienung und können daher nur von Menschen bedient werden, die eine recht lange Ausbildung gemacht haben. Auch die Wartung und der Betrieb von einem Hubschrauber ist sehr teuer.

    Das Flugtaxi könnte zum Beispiel die mittellangen und zeitkritischen Transportwege abdecken. Zum Beispiel auch für den Transport von Spender Organen und so.

    Bei der Feuerwehr sehe Ich tatsächlich auch weniger Einsatzgebiete. Aber das hängt auch davon ab, wie sehr sich der Copter modifizieren lässt. Eventuell wäre auch da ein Einsatz zur Bergung von Personen möglich.

    Ich glaube der große Vorteil von einem Volocopter ist einfach seine relativ kleine Größe, sein elektrischer Antrieb und die einfache Bedienung.
