Some unconfirmed allegations and unverified relations to different events make it not only useless, but biased and unconfirmed.
You'd literally have to scan QR codes on both devices, but that's the only option I have in mind
On the bright side - they are fixable and manageable, but you cant avoid inevitable agening problems.
Think I have invested as much as the buying price to repairs already
I hope those enormous modern seats are made that way for the sake of protection. Cause even with a bigger car, like Audi A6, two such seats consume all the space on the back bench
And you start understanding that algorithms are playing against you, they are made to keep you scrolling. Not to deliver the most relevant stuff in shortest time
As I understood, drilling deep is quite expensive and, comparing to centralized heating stations working with gas for instance, the thermal output does not allow building heat factories. In example they state that they needed 8 500-meter holes for 4 houses and only 64 apts. So they are talking about typical Scandinavian 4-floor buildings, which are as well A-class insulated.
It stands nowhere near to typical buildings of East Berlin for instance.
I mean, lets take a 20-story building, the amount of heating energy it consumes is really high, especially during winters. So you probably would need a soccer-field size heat exchanger in order for the heat to be extracted from the ground.
I bet it will also use quite a lot of electricity to compress the transporting liquid.
You are probably aware that IT startups require engineers. And in Estonia there's only one tech university with a very arguable level of education.
Working in this field for decades, can assure you that for recent years Estonia made a huge progress in importing engineers from Russia, Belarus and Ukraine. Those high-quality engineers actually made it the Startup HQ of Baltics.
As for now, the immigration policy does not permit any work visas for Russian or Belarusian citizens, so this flow is depleted. Ukrainians have stopped coming here few years ago as salary levels were higher in Kyiv and it made no sense in coming to Tallinn. Today they just can't leave the country.
The biggest motivator for engineers from mentioned countries to come to Tallinn was the big Russian-speaking community, which made it "live in Europe, speak in native language" for them. As of today, the pressure on Russian language based education is extremely big, and having kids you want to teach in native language, coming to Estonia for Russian-speaking developers makes no more sense .
Those countries reside on the border of Russia and logistics in operations were fairly easy and cheap. That fueled the business and money flow for may years.
Check out https://data.stat.ee/profile/country/ee/?locale=en. Russia was the second biggest trading partner, having Finland as the first. Surprisingly, if you check the trading structure of Finland, it's mostly the same Russian goods.
Russia accounts in 2B trading balance of Estonian import. This is a lot for a small country. Pretty much from the beginning of 200x the most money there were made either on raw re-export of Russian goods or processing and exporting.
If you have an idea of how to replace those 2B without rising costs tremendously, please share.
