When I am in London, I get ~95% of my coffee from Pret a Manger. Why? Because I have the Pret Coffee Subscription. In brief, I can get up to five units a day for £25 a month (coffee, tea, hot chocolate, smoothie, etc.). This is, at least in my case, very cheap. How is […]

Observationer relateret til COVID-19 #5
Oprindelse. Jeg har tidligere skrevet om, hvorvidt ‘lab leak’ hypotesen kan betegnes som en konspirationsteori på linje med andre konspirationsteorier (noget som selv flere videnskabelige publikationer har gjort). I bogen Viral: The Search for the Origin of COVID-19, skrevet af Alina Chan og Matt Ridley, gøres det klart, at vi nok aldrig får en smoking […]
Ten ways to slightly improve your life without really trying
In The Guardian, there is an article with a list of 100 ways to slightly improve your life (without really trying). I do not agree with all of them (for various reasons), so I decided to pick out the ten I believe provide the greatest marginal gain: Get the lighting right: turn off the overhead […]
The post with answers to the book of questions
I was reading The Book of Questions (the revised and updated 2013 edition) by Gregory Stock and I decided to answer all of the questions. Here they are – in the order the questions are asked in the book. Of course, I can’t provide the questions in this post but I have formulated the answers […]
33
Thirty-three. Another year, same me ±95% CIs. One third of a hundred, give or take. I read the post I wrote last year when I turned 32. It all seemed so recent. I could, in principle, repost my thoughts from last year and call it ’33’. There is not much of significance, if anything, to […]
Setting up a Mac
I recently got a new Mac (because of M1). Inspired by this installation plan, I decided to make a list of the apps I should install. Hopefully this will work as a good checklist the next time I need to set up a new Mac. Download and install Homebrew (for package management) Download and install […]
Observationer relateret til COVID-19 #4
Planer. Min plan var, at mit forrige indlæg med observationer direkte eller indirekte relateret til COVID-19 skulle blive mit sidste indlæg i rækken. Der er dog nok en selvstændig pointe i, at hvis COVID-19 har lært os én ting, så er det, at ideen om at lave planer i en pandemi giver meget lidt mening. […]
Observationer relateret til COVID-19 #3
Se også: #1, #2 Traditioner. Forud for pandemien var det en naturlov, at der var større fodboldbegivenheder og OL hvert fjerde år. Som noget, intet kunne rokke ved. Jul og nytår var også noget, der altid ville finde sted traditionen tro. Traditioner er vigtige, og det kom ikke bag på mig, da en meningsmåling i […]
Observationer relateret til COVID-19 #2
Dette er en forlængelse af mit forrige indlæg med observationer relateret til COVID-19. Gensyn. Færre film bliver lavet og udgivet i løbet af pandemien. Flere film, der skulle have været ude nu, er blevet udskudt til 2021, og mange projekter er blevet sat på pause. Dette betyder også, at der ganske enkelt er mere tid […]
32
I should note that I write this for nobody but myself. Don’t expect anything interesting here. Feel free to skip this one. I promise there will be another post soon. This is – as always – a personal blog. My goal with this post is not to write anything that will transcend time and be […]
