The plot next to us is being built now, and when they finally started erecting the house it took a couple of weeks. They spent months with excavators and explosives first. That's what you get for building on porous rock I guess.

The one thing that helped me quit smoking was snus. It’s not healthy, but much much better than cigarettes.

Might they be black swan events because most people are very weary about letting their kids walk around unsupervised?

Speedbumps help a bit, but many drivers break down just before the bump and then speed to the next one. Better solution is to design the street for slower traffic. Narrow it down, expand the sidewalks and/or add a bike path, Make speed

I'm in one of few electricity markets in Europe with below average prices at the moment (we don't use gas for heating here), but just in case shit hits the fan here as well I've bought two pallets of firewood. If that's

Norway is also raking in money on gas and to a lesser extent electricity, only problem is that we also get the insane electricity prices (or to be more precise, most of us. Electricity is up to 1000% more expensive in the south than in the

Aha, so that’s why our Japanese partners often start their emails with introducing themselves. Haven’t seen the seasonal boilerplate though.

This is all very strange to me. Basically everyone I know have had Covid, but no one are reporting any “long Covid”. Same with the rest of the country. Pretty sure most of us have had Covid at this point, but very little reports of long ter

Back in the day when we had a VHF/UHF TV antenna on the side of the house I noticed the quality varied with the tide. Our house were 15 meters or so above sea level and the TV tower were on the other side of the fjord. Some channels we

I remember back in the 90’s and early 00’s my cousin and his neighbors had a neighborhood LAN going. They had stretched I believe Ethernet cables across the street and from house to house. It might actually have been coax cables in a ring n

Norway here. Most suburbs had fiber installed around 2010. Cities were a bit slower due to the complexity and cost of running it underground. It's expensive and inconvenient to dig up city streets. But I think most city buildings have

We were on vacation in a part of the country we are not very familiar with and relied on Google Maps to tell us the way. On the last leg of the trip back home there were two routes, one were significantly faster, so we chose that and ended

I got a small 18V Ryobi thing. Have used it on car tires, bicycle tires and for inflating an inflatable pool and beach toys and a mattress. Best thing I’ve bought this year.

To get good at tennis you have to start young. If you start playing late in life progress will be slow and you will never really master it (or so I've heard). With pickleball and paddle tennis you can pick up a racket and play and have

Not for me. Looks like it might work if I disable "require attention" (weather has been pretty bad this summer, so I don't have my shades close by to test).

Not sure about the value in the top leagues, but in second tier leagues it’s very much a local thing. Often the local bank will be the main sponsor, and the big employers in town will be lower tier sponsors. Often it’s part of a package whi

ETH has been a legitimate technology with real use cases for a decade now and all we’ve got is jpeg’s of apes. With the amount of real money, talent and hard work being pumped into this space we should have seen the use cases materialize by

I get it for kids younger than 8-10 (depending on the kid), but after that age kids should be able to get out of the house and to school on their own. For the youngest it can be solved with a before school program. The kids just need a plac
