Heartbreaking: The Worst Person You Know Just Made A Great Point

Near my university there was an underground bakery open from 18:30 to 6:30, and whenever you were drunk or high coming out of some university party or just a night of drinking with your friends you’d end up going there and it was amazing. At a reasonable cost, some high sugar and fat pastries, or just a warm croissant, served by an immigrant man in his 50s who would call everyone nephew.

A friend of mine decided to index his costs to the wholesale market and pays 4c/kWh, while with a normal power plan I’m paying 9-13c/kWh. Meanwhile coal, oil and gas guzzler Germany is paying 4x these prices. At least their geopolitical energy play worked out /s

In European Portuguese it’s “Feira da Ladra”, or “Fair of the (female) Thieve”

The state shouldn’t be in the business of killing people.
