Kitty is a fork of Putty, or maybe more precisely it's built on putty. I used it a lot in my previous job as we didn't have key-based auth on customer servers. With Kitty I could create profiles with login information, and where n

That isn't really an issue with the NHS. If it's an issue it's with the UK's family law which recognises that the parents of a child doesn't always act in the child's best interest and allows the state to inter

But taller buildings equals wider streets to such a degree that the density you win by building high mostly gets eaten up by the lost real estate used for wider streets.

In Norway we just have different voter cards for each party in the election. So you go into the voting booth, select your party's card and fold it. Then verify you are you with the election officials and put your folded card in the bal

WTF. Mass transit is a great idea period. It works in numerous places around the world. Even if it doesn't run 24/7 or everywhere it runs most of the day and to many places. Meaning less cars and less need to "stack the highw

Many stay in the city but move out to the burbs the moment they have a baby on the way (some stay in the city with kids of course, but few). The reason is both that it's kind of expected and that there's very few affordable apartm

This sounds very American. No bank I've ever been in contact with have mentioned anything about a "credit line". Whenever I take up a loan the bank will use some third party company to make a credit rating of me, but I don&#x

In Scandinavia we have the term "kjæreste" which roughly translates to "most beloved". When I think about I believe it's only in Norway and Sweden we have that word. In Sweden they have the word ælskling which means

Who said anything about monopolies? I though a union was just workers banding together and using their strength in number to negotiate better working conditions, better pay and so on? It's easy for someone with a sought after talent to

Not knowing the UK very well, but you have had and still have strong unions with political representation through the Labour party. If labour isn't organised you will not get good (for the working class) policy. Politics is the formal

Depends on the Cinema I guess. At least most cinemas I’ve worked with have configured their system to adjust show start depending on how much advertisement there is so the ads are finished ca 10-15 minutes after the scheduled time.

Sounds like there's laws on this in many countries. In Norway you are exempt from overtime regulations if you have an independent position, which is pretty well defined in law and practice. It basically means that you control your own

You would think that in the age of digital cinema niche films would have a boost. If you are creating a film for distribution, creating a dcp for cinema is trivial. The dcp can be shipped to cinemas on a physical copy, via satellite or over

Pretty normal in Norway, just reversed. But I’ve never seen the window version. Usually the a/c unit is mounted on the outside wall and a hole is drilled in the wall to bring in the hose to the unit inside.
