  • I’m from Denmark. Most people here are middle class.

    It is common to own a vacation house here, if that is your interest.

    Owning a business is also very common here, you gotta make a living somehow. And sure, if you manufacture something, why not export.

    I don’t know how common it is to go on 5 star hotels here. I don’t really look at the stars. But if the cheapest available hotel that fit my needs happens to be 5 star, then that’s where I go.

    I’m definitely not rich here.












  • This is such an odd post. So many details that are highly debatable, not many important details.

    For example, is the egg refrigerated or room temperature? That changes the timing a lot. Talking about accurate timing is pointless without at least some idea of the initial temperature.

    I don’t use a ice bath, or any kind of cooling down for hardboiled eggs. I don’t really have a problem peeling them, unless they are very fresh.



  • Lithium-* batteries don’t actually have any specific useful numbers. It’s something like this (the actual numbers are pulled out of my ass and depends on battery time and test parameters and even then I’m simplifying):

    • At 0 volts, the battery is dead.

    • At 1 volts, the battery is practically dead.

    • Discharging to 2 volts kills it after around 100 times.

    • Discharging to 3 volts kills it after around 10 000 times

    • Discharging to 3.5 volts kills it after 100 000 times

    • Charging to 4 volts kills it after 100 000 times

    • Charging to 4.2 volts kills it after 10 000 times

    • Charging to 4.3 volt kills it after 1000 times

    • Charging to 4.4 volts kills it after 100 times

    • Charging to 4.5 has s significant chance of it catching fire

    Now choose how many charge cycles you want it to survive, and you know which voltage to consider 0% and which to consider 100%. The bigger difference, the bigger capacity with the same battery.

    This is why a phone with 0% battery can tell you that it’s out of battery.

    You can also adjust what “killed” means. Is it when battery capacity is reduced to 80%? 50%?

    I have to repeat - the numbers are not accurate, and this is strongly simplified.

    It’s just an illustration of what 0% and 100% means it’s just where you are on the useful range, according to the manufacturers definition of useful.
