The #Scifi Book Stores in #Stockholm, #Gothenburg and #Malmö are one of Sweden's most profitable businesses in book retail. They sell tabletop games as well. So at their recent equity issuance I did something unprecedented and bought some stock.
The Stockholm #Scifi Book Store is bang in the middle of the Old Town's main tourist street, where almost every other shop space offers either tacky souvenirs, meals or snacks. Big shop, hundreds of square metres on two floors. It's amazing that they can make that work!
Fixed an important problem on #Stockholm this afternoon while on hold with the auto service center.
Free idea for @system76, make and sell me some Pop_OS! case badges! Nice ones with little holograms and embossing and dope stuff. Slap em on the new ones and let me put em on my old computers!
@Qwaint The Kobo is great! Big beefy online bookstore. And you can config it to turn off entirely after an interval, which makes it slow to start but preserves battery like the Kindle doesn't to my knowledge. I have both.
Yay! The National Library's café in #Stockholm has opened again after closing in 2020! And in August the basement restaurant named for an early runologist's enormous note-taking tome will reopen too!
Other cities have urban foxes and boars. #Stockholm occasionally has elks in the streets. In my suburb I've often got fallow deer on the lawn outside the kitchen window.
@mrundkvist They walked past my block! I left just and half hour earlier so I missed them with just minutes! But perhaps for the best with how it ended ... 😭
A risky path to meeting climate targets for Stockholm
The Swedish capital Stockholm aims to capture more carbon dioxide than is emitted by 2030. Therefore, the city is investing in new technology at a combined heat and power plant. But it is a strategy that has been adopted without sufficient discussion of the risks, say researchers at Linköping university, Sweden
There is a real fancy commercial being aired here that supposedly shows how the CO2 gets "vacuumed up" and somehow stored by a futuristic machine. I doubt is has stored anything close to what's required yet, and it probably never will.
