Babies would be measured in pounds and ounces, as they weigh roughly ½ stone at birth.

A glass front is a negative. Reflections always get in the way, and they therefore don't comply with worker safety rules in some countries.

I'm not interested in a cordless vacuum.

It's another battery to charge, so I'd have less flexibility of where to store it.

It's less effective than a corded machine.

100m² is reached with the cord plugged into the most central socket.

A €200 machine has so far lasted 10 years and still works perfectly.

The European Energy label is based on the "Eco 40-60°C" cycle.

I don't know about 0.2kWh, but I see a machine at Argos claiming 0.33kWh for this cycle.

Other parts are in the present tense. It's probably written by a Danish speaker.

But you can do your own searching, you seen determined that this doesn't exist.

Denmark would disagree, but with the limitation that the data centre needs to be sited in an appropriate location.

I don't think anywhere would want to be entirely reliant on a single datacentre, at least not at the scale of district heating use in Denmark.

(I gave some pages in Danish, you can search "Denmark datacentre district heat" yourself if you like.)

What was the purpose of this comment? It's obviously irrelevant, as it's only considering one type of low-carbon electricity.

https://www.europeana.eu/en indexes 60 million museum objects in Europe, although that includes objects that aren't artworks.

(I suspect The Last Museum is using the same open data exports.)

I am reminded of the HCI lecturer at university whenever I use something other than my usual KDE desktop.

With a maximized or suitably positioned window, pushing the mouse all the way to the right of the screen activates the scroll bar. To the top right activates the close button.

Small things, but they become annoyances when they are missing.

During a real fire at my school, also in the UK, a cast iron fire escape partially collapsed. I don't remember any mention of injuries, and it was replaced with a new, steel staircase within a few weeks.
