Local municipalities have veto rights to block development.
There are also a bunch of rules, often overlapping, than may stop planning. All planning decisions can also be (and are) appealed for years.
There is also a lack of cheap housing, most houses built today are unaffordable to most low/medium earners. This has become an even more acute problem with the recent influx of refugees. This has lead to overcrowding in poorer suburbs.
Syria used sarin gas on civilians. There are few things as terrifying and atrocious as chemical weapons. It is absolute insanity to use nerve gas, never mind the other war crimes committed by the Assad regime.
They aren't actually located in Stockholm, but close enough to use resources from the Stockholm Area. Supposedly the DCs will be located in Västerås, Eskilstuna and Katrineholm[0].
>They bought way too much stock, and never worked with size curves, just flat ranges.
Oh dear... I can get bringing in too much stock, It is understandable as a new young company that you overestimate sales of some items but not working with size curves is just plain unprofessional.
There are a lot of people who bike all year. Though less than in spring-autumn.
You probably need/want winter tires for your bike and it may be cold but sure, it is possible. The bike lanes are usually cleared quickly when it snows.
For me the biking distance would be 14km or so. A bit further than I personally want to bike but not an uncommon biking route.
5 min walk to the bus, one bus stop then hopping on the subway for 20 min, luckily I don't have to change so I can just relax for those 20 min. Then a 10 minute walk to the office.
Not too bad at all for living in a nice suburb of Stockholm.
Botox is very efficient and generally lasts about 3-6 months. In my experience there are no complications and it really does work.
I have not tried it on my hands but according to my sister it is quite uncomfortable, they give local anesthesia for the hands but not for say armpits. Lots of needle pricks is not that fun and I believe you can get some bruises that go away quickly.
The treatment is very quick, about 10-15 minutes. In Sweden it costs about €150 for the injections and €150 for the actual Botox (the Botox cost counts towards insurance scheme to cap medicine costs) if done privately.
When I worked in manual labour (warehouses etc) that was certainly the case but in a white-collar job it is much less structured in my experience, we may have a formal fika once a week or just informal coffee breaks every now and then.
Fika IS important to productivity though! Morale boosting if nothing else.
I have a question regarding the 9-5 working day. Do Americans really work 9-5 and regard this as an 8 hour working day? Or is this a legacy of the old days with paid lunch or such?
I officially work 8.25 hours per day or 8-17 with 45 minutes of lunch, this is roughly the standard working day in Sweden.
As someone who makes a living off Windows software, surely you have paid for your license? Else you got absolutely no right to complain about anything breaking.
