    It doesn't explode even if drilled through, has far greater life cycle & can be bent & folded. Still couple kinks like it only does 2.25v, short of the Li-ion 3.6v & power to weight is down on Li-ion but it's looking promising
    perfec for 12v batt bank...

    ...I decided that it was time to hang up the leathers, so to soften the full impact of this on my overall psyche...I bought myself the guitar I have wanted for the last 40 years and a new rig to run it through...I am now the very extremely, over the moon, cheerful owner of a Rickenbacker bass and two 15 inch speakers with a Galleon Kreuger 400w head....

    It is also one of the most socialist countries in the world.
    There is a very small difference between the rich and the poor.
    They have tax laws that make rich people and corporations pay a lot of tax on their profits.

    Norway is one of the most heavily taxed countries in the world with a total tax burden of roughly 45% of GDP– almost 4x Hong Kong and nearly twice the US.

    VAT here is a whopping 25%. Personal income tax rates border 55%. Corporate profits tax ranges from 28% to as high as 78%. Norway even has a direct WEALTH TAX.

    The Norwegian tax authority’s own website even states, “The Norwegian tax system is based on the principle that everybody should pay tax according to their means and receive services according to their needs.”
