Det er ikke helt uden udfordringer.

Vertikalt landbrug har (så vidt jeg ved) et ret begrænset udvalg af afgrøder. Primært salater, urter og og andre småting.

Væksthuse I Danmark har også en klimamæssig belastning som f.eks. gør at det er bedre at transportere tomater fra Spanien end det er at opvarme drivhuset i Danmark om vinteren. Det vil også gælde andre planter.

Jeg er helt enig i at det kan og skal udvikles med støtte. Måske kan stordrift gøre det bedre end de nuværende forsøg, men jeg tvivler på at vi kan lave en 1:1 produktion af det nuværende landbrug i vertikalt landbrug. Det er nok bedst at erkende at de store marker trives bedst under andre forhold og så fokusere på de ting som vi kan lave her.

Jeg tror at AI apps er populære fordi de indtil videre giver et konkret svar, som endnu ikke er blevet smadret totalt af markedsføring.

På sigt tror jeg det vil blive enshittified, enten direkte af økonomiske interesser eller simpelthen fordi grundlaget som benyttes til træning er blevet det.

Derfor er jeg også forbeholden for at tage det i brug til seriøse ting, og virksomheder burde også være påpasselige med at gøre sig afhængige af det i sin nuværende form. Der er ingen garanti for at AI kan præstere på samme niveau om få år.

Nyt år, samme historie.

Er der nogen landmænd som har en plan for hvordan de vil håndtere den “langsomt kørende katastrofe”? De kan vel ikke bare gå og håbe på at løsningen i bogstaveligste forstand kommer ned fra himlen?

Et moderne landbrug må da have nogle taktiske overvejelser om hvordan de kan forberede sig på noget der er så forudsigeligt.

Det har du ret i. Det er ikke kun i butikkerne at folk opfører sig tosset. Den samme adfærd ses også på skoler, hospitaler, kommuner og … ja stort set alle offentlige steder.

Handelsbranchen er bare den brede frontlinje, hvor det kan ses tydeligt, og derfor er det fagbevægelsen for handel som slår på tromme.

Jeg deltager i kongressen. Det handler ikke umiddelbart om at gøre det til et kundeproblem.

Jeg ser din pointe i at der er bagvedliggende årsager til kundernes stigende aggressive adfærd, men dette rækker langt ud over hvad fagbevægelsen og arbejdsgiverne kan løse ved driften af butik. Vi kan blot forholde os til at det er sådan.

Vi kan derimod netop opfordre til at der tages ansvar. Politikerne og arbejdsgiverne skal tage mere ansvar for at butiksansatte bliver stillet i disse konfliktsituationer. Det kræver uddannelse og seriøs håndtering fra arbejdsgiveren. Det går ofte sådan at når en ansat er blevet psykisk nedbrudt og sygemeldt, så finder man bare en ny.

Det hænger dårligt sammen med at der fremover må sidde 13-årige ved kassen. Særligt fordi statistikken viser at det netop er yngre som oftest bliver udsat for den adfærd.

At tillade børnearbejde i Danmark er overhovedet ikke løsningen på rekrutteringsproblemer i handelsbranchen, når selvsamme problemer er opstået på baggrund af en samfundsmæssig forråelse.

It’s like that chip tune webpage where the entire track is encoded in the url.

My grandfather made it a point to lift everyone until he couldn’t get then off the ground anymore.

Put the phone on something.

The blue light also doesn’t work. Junkies figured out how to turn on the cell phone flash light.

It doesn’t seem so.

The actual interview referenced in the article is somewhat longer: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/08/magazine/bill-gates-foundation-closing-2045.html

From what I can gather there are at least 3 reasons to end it earlier:

It was always planned to have an end date. This was set before they even knew what they’re were going to do. They now have a clear plan, where they can say “a human life can be saved for this amount of dollars”, so they don’t need to wait for anything.

Bill Gates criticizes post-life foundations, stating that they’re in risk of getting eaten by administration costs. I don’t know about that, but it appears that he doesn’t trust others to as good a job as he wants to do himself.

Warren Buffett is doubling the contributions for the foundation, but only for as long as Bill and Melinda are alive. Gates is 69 years old, so blowing it all in 20 years seems to be a realistic timeframe if they want to take full advantage of Warren Buffett’s pledge.

Ah shit, I thought it was OC. Whatever. The bar is pretty low, huh?

And? What happens next?

I acknowledge your feeling at this moment. However, politics are decisions about the future. Will you welcome them then? Will you accept their votes on your side at the next election?

They’re misled idiots for sure, but there’s no benefits in keeping them in that position just out of spite.

Go to the singles park on a bicycle. Ride somewhere with cute single girls in your area. Fall on the bicycle and hurt your knee. Wait for help. If the cute girls don’t help, they’re probably not that nice. Phew, you just saved a bullet there.

Is it this kind of stupid methods you want?

Okay, buy a shitload of oranges. Put them in a bag. Cut a hole in the bag, so it barely keeps together. Go to the park and find the cute girls again. Give the bag a firm shake so it falls apart and the oranges start rolling all over the place. Look sad. Attempt to pick up the oranges but keep dropping some, until they come and help.

Now for the next one, you will need to get out of your comfort zone. Go to the grocery store. Find the laundry detergent isle. Keep staring at the products until a cute single girl comes by. Look confused. Say to her: “excuse me, I’m really confused about all these, which one are you getting?” Eventually thank her for help and turn the conversation into something else " I’m new in this town, do you know any other great places to get laundry detergents (or whatever)"

Oh, I forgot to mention, you need to be wearing a suit or at least a blazer and proper shoes. None of the above will work very well if you look like a hobo who washes with a toilet brush.

They’re just big dogs.

Coffee dispenser at work. It acts up like it’s a printer. Replace left cartridge. Replace right cartridge. Cleaning required. Thorough cleaning required. Unknown leak. Heating water please wait. Unknown error. Fuck that, I’ll piss in a cup myself if I don’t get my coffee now.

Then there’s also the towel roll thing in the toilets. I swear it’s stuck for longer time than it’s functioning. It’d be a full time job keeping that rolling throughout the day

According to the source, he didn’t saturate it.

I drive by something like that daily. Some days it does look like that, but it mostly looks like a regular manure field. Capturing it on camera is a matter of timing.

It’s a different culture altogether, where a job is expected"for life", which also makes it difficult to quit a job. People are literally hiring other people to deliver their resignation notices because it’s impossible to do in person.

Unions are gangs. Companies are gangs. Any group of people larger than 2 is a gang.

The difference is that unions are democratic, while companies (and criminal gangs) are top down hierarchy.

Perhaps it’s time to remind people that the date of celebration of labour day in most of the world on May 1st. was chosen to commemorate the American Haymarket affair in 1886.

It’s going to fluctuate a lot on it’s way down.

The people who bought it for a high price will also buy at lower prices to get a better average in total. These kinds purchases will increase the price for no other reason and self fulfill the option to sell the total at a slightly higher average than rock bottom. It’s a (risky) way to cut the losses. Many people are probably still holding on to the overpriced stocks. With these things combined, existing investors can maintain an artificial high price. However, unless new investors start buying, it’ll slowly but steadily lose value over time as existing investors manage to seep out.
