  • is there supposed to be an image in your comment? anyway, some more specific numbers then.

    the stockholm region, the most populated area of sweden, is a bit less than twice the size of the city of houston TX, with about the same population of 2.3 million people. but the population density of the area is about 1/4th that of houston, at 380/km2 compared to 1400.

    meanwhile the norrbotten region, the most sparsely populated area, is just above alaska in population density.

  • then why does geographical location matter?

  • you should probably look into how the ecosystem of australia has changed through the years.

  • we don't really get storms like that.

  • i mean we still have aerial lines for high voltage.

  • when it's killed off everything filling its niche so the ecosystem reaches a new equilibrium. which may not ever happen, depending ot the situation.

  • all the power generation is in the north

  • just like sweden.

  • the us has higher population density than sweden.

  • okay? we don't bury high-voltage lines, if that's what you're implying.

  • sweden is split into four "electricity zones", from north to south. the prices seem to match those in zone 4, in the very very south.

    Edit:

    here is the current price for each zone in öre/kWh (an öre is 1/100th of a krona). divide by 10 and you get cents, ish.

    for reference the current spot price when converted is $0.12/kWh. more than i pay but i have a fixed kWh price.

  • okay? i'm just checking my power bills.

  • idk where that place pulls from but i pay $.08/kWh. when i lived further north it was $0.02.

    there was a period where the prices went to what you quoted but that was in connection to the nord stream sabotage where germany's prices skyrocketed and ours were dragged up along with them.

  • sweden hasn't had residential power lines on poles since like the 70's. when i visited north america in 2008 i was shocked by the aerial rats' nests everywhere.

  • milkwalker wisconsin?

  • 5k ish. i had paid maybe 50 bucks total for it over all the years i owned it so it was a pretty good deal.

  • it's been unchanged because http got more popular.

    there is a vocal part of the indieweb that does not want encrypted communication because it increases the system requirements, and because it disincentivises sending sending any sensitive information. i don't really agree with that assessment but i do think there is something to not sending stuff you don't need.

  • gopher predates http, of course it didn't have certificates.

  • just meta.
