Don't make it more complicated than it actually is, or you'll end up like Erasmus Montanus. The causality of hyper-inflation is a pretty simple principle to understand. And the effects are visible. I was there, in pre-war Yugoslav

Yes, don't worry guys. The Federal Reserve has got you covered. And if things get too expensive, you can always just ask for a raise, amirite! :) Anyway, here's a cash crop chart for corn that has more than doubled in price since

Or could it be that since the farmer was no longer tending to his farm because he was too old, and since there was so little going on there anymore, that the grouse decided to reclaim a great perch with a view? I once pitched a tent somewhe

Does it matter? This is an old belief told from one generation to another. And in the instance of my family, it certainly turned out to be true. Later that summer, during an especially hot and bright night (it's midnight sun where I co

Why would you have children if you live in a cramped apartment in an equally cramped and dangerous city? The amount of effort you're putting in for that tiny life is barely enough for subsistence, much less for having children. The ans

That man has set the ideal conditions for raising a lot of children. While most city dwellers scramble from 9 to 5 to own but a cramped apartment—which also leads most of them to forgo having children in the first place—this farmer has pl

Ah, the simple life... My grandfather would take me along and we'd go to the neighbour to fetch eggs. He had a plastic bucket that he put them in with some old newspapers scraps in the bottom. I heard that before the war they didn&#x27

Wasn't there a whole ordeal with competing entities, even within national organizations and army branches, who were all zealously entrenched in their own little jurisdictions?

I remember seeing that video of American special forces being shot down in Africa. I did my due in the army myself, but thankfully I never saw combat. I do know a lot of vets, tho, and... they've all got PTSD and many of them are in a

Well, I'm not an expert on European law, so I can only speak for my own country of Norway, who do indeed seem to have stronger legal support for free speech compared to the USA in this narrow instance, since our law also encompasses pr

I like C-like programming languages, and I like to solve real world problems for my users. So two camps, I guess. Moreover I was always that annoying kid in class who would ask the teacher, “but what use is that?” Often the teacher couldn&#

Well Skinkestek is pretty hard to miss for other Norwegians. It means “Ham steak” in my language. :D Which reminds me... I have some in the fridge. Gonna roast it this weekend. Yum!

Well, to be fair, Danish doesn't really sound so similar to Norwegian, but since most of the words are written the exact same way, it's usually not hard to decipher the pronunciation, especially after a day or two among them (I&

Is owning John Deere tractors somehow controversial, since they're talking about how owners were "doxed"? Is there a special place on the web where we can laugh at the hall of shame of John Deere tractor owners? Jokes aside,

Doesn't matter how many priors you have. Even here in Norway - where you're barely allowed to look at a gun - if some random person points an AK47 at you, then you're allowed to defend yourself with a "reasonable respo

They can expect to be fined millions of Euros by a great many European countries if they illegally censor private conversations through their platform, due to European law on the matter. Many countries over here have free speech laws that a

This is completely outrageous. It's clearly illegal in my country per Norwegian Constitution §100, and I suspect it's illegal in quite a few other European countries too, wherever they have a working defence for freedom of speech,

This is completely outrageous! I tried sharing the link in question in a private message on Facebook Messenger, but the recipient was unable to see it, and instead got a censorship warning. In my country such censorship is illegal, per Norw

It's been a couple of years, but I still like the Outerra project. And also the Bohemia Interactive VBS.

I'm amazed! Late Middle English ‘boat’ sounds just like modern Norwegian ‘båt.’ :p I heard the stories that Scandinavians could go to Britain and it would only take a short while to get used to the language. Kind of like Norwegians goi

Why not. I use Chrome to make quick calculations all the time. Just Ctrl+N and 1+1, and the answer is posted. Then Ctrl+W, and/or Alt+Tab to Sublime or whatever. Then I continue with my life :)
