@SeaFury that's nice, I think Swedish law say that they have to pay after six hours. Which is never going to happen. The longest power outage I have experience was minutes. And as power is declared a human right they can also ignore planing laws when restoring power. That is meant for disasters and war, but they would happily use it to protect their profits.
@SeaFury oh. The region pay for the ambulance, not the patient. Which is why I find it weird, they have literally no reason not to send the bill to electricity company if the region believed they where at fault.
Electricity companies still don't have strict liability in Sweden, but it trends in that direction. I would like to think they would do everything in their power to show they are acting in goodwill.
@SeaFury I know that unplanned electricity work does need to happen sometimes, but it always so weird to me. Where I live we have many on machines that live at home, every time you cut power they call the emergency number. Sending out an ambulance is very expensive, something the region* would gladly make the electricity company pay.
*I guess they would be called County in the US system.
@Bronwyn @APBBlue my worst encounter so far was a man that thought it appropriate to lift my curtain and look Into my apartment, it was 30 degrees outside it wasn't an option to close the door. I had to tell him to fuck off twice.
My only conclusion is that he must have thought it appropriate because we had met once before in the *staffed* communal living room.
@youranoncentral.bsky.social this happened in Ukraine, within the last decade. I don't need to imagine. I heard the first account stories.

@RamenCatholic you can train dogs to retrieve anything from ducks to medicine. So you might not be able too breed one, but it should be possible to train one. If you are happy with a bit of dog breath on your cupcake.
@PandaCab this is a public forum. Sometimes the at sign is about who I talk about not who I am talking to.
I am clearly stating my view of the conversation as an answer to what I belive was a partisan summary.
If that is harassment I would struggle to function on this forum. Luckily the subject has muted me will not have to deal with my perspective.
And if it is harassment how is what you are doing any different?
@HeavenlyPossum that was always an option. Honestly it's a bit weird you feel the need to tell me/or anyone else, ignoring messages you don't want to deal with is fine.
What's that joke?, "this is not an airport you don't need to announce your departure"
@PandaCab no, I don't. If that is the case I apologies. It just that it seemed directed towards me. And I thought this was an appropriate time to summarise my thoughts on our previous conversation. which might also have been rude, I am bad at judging when it is appropriate to speak out. But it's hard to stay quiet when someone literally call the reason I am alive and well for violent.
The seed vault?
THE SEED VAULT???
Let him take away ebola funding. Let him take freaking social security, but for the love of all the gods, keep his grubby little hands off of the seed vault!!!
He's not just trying to collapse the system (which arguably needs a healthy dose of collapse), he's Fucking Around with our motherfucking FOOD SUPPLY and we will *ALL* Find Out.
Just as with guns, swimming pools and cars. States doesn't kill people, they allow people to kill. That is why I am for regulations on cars and guns.
States shouldn't be built in a way that makes killing easy, quiet the opposite they should be built to make killing impossible.
A driver is a murder, a gunslinger is a murder. A leader shouldn't be.
Swimming pools are more complicated.
