And Danish pronounciation is nothing like Norwegian. What's your point? It's still two very similar languages, with almost the same heritage, except for pronounciation. Are you even Scandinavian? Because you're plainly mist

Except Icelandic people can read Old Norse, and that's all the hype you need. It's a bit more difficult for Faroese. It's even more difficult for Norwegians and Danes who will only be able to pick out a word or two. That&#x27

> This is not actually due to Icelandic being as conservative as you think. Many would say that is exactly proof of their conservationist nature! While there is some truth to your claim of the language not evolving in a fully dynamic o

This is interesting! Take Norwegian for instance, which is originally of West Norse origin. During the viking age, settlers (many of whom were outlaws in Norway lol) sailed to the then newly discovered Iceland. These people all spoke West N

Back when I worked in sales, there was a guy on my sales team that would have the entire Norwegian Top 40 billboard memorized since its inception in the 50's, complete with producers and writers of lyrics. While a bit socially awkward,

Could the answer be encrypted hird-party de-centralized mini-services being sprinkled accross various locations through-out the world? Perhaps the "authorities" would be able to crack one such mini-service, but it would never get

For me, Syndicate really changed my life. I had a Commodore 486 SLC, with 2 Mb RAM. But I'd seen the game at my friend's house, so I knew that I needed this game in my life. There was only one thing to do, and that was to kill

This is an interesting concept. In Norway, the parliament cannot pass contradictory laws, for instance, for the simple reason this tenet: "All power must be gathered in this hall". So in essence, Stortinget (our parliament) cannot

This is a pretty normal view. I've been a photographer and videographer since I was about 16, and worked freelance and in magazines all over my country before I got into teaching and IT. If you read any film theory book, you'll ev

Why make it yourself, when there's a ton of creators who would do it for you, and for free? Just let the best ones get the ad revenue and Patreon profits. I call it passive outsourcing.

Have they fixed the castle (Kastro) in Myrina / Μύρινα on Lemnos yet (Kavala in Arma 3)? I saw a nice vide of it here, complete with a comparison with Arma 3: Exploring Arma 2's Chernarus and Arma 3's Altis' REAL WORLD A

manquer is right, though. Since about 2008, Apple has moved towards being a lifestyle / fashion brand, rather than the semi-pro brand they used to be. For me it started with Final Cut Pro, and the slashing of the quite friendly web ser

Seagulls are real rascals where I live. The rude little buggers will grab your lunch right out of your hands, especially if you sit down, and become unobservant for a second. But here's a neat trick. Just look them in the eyes. This wi

I don't see it like that. Instead you have to engineer your project around the weaknesses. This is one of the fun challenges of using BuildCraft. Of course, I can see how this frustrates server owners, who have to deal with all those u

I watched an hour or so of Let's Plays just now. Factorio really made me reminisce about playing Tekkit, especially the Red Power mods from Eloraam (man, I miss those), plus ComputerCraft, BuildCraft and not to mention IndustrialCraft2

Don't you think it's a little unfair to compare peas to meat? First of all, most people aren't going to replace their meat with veggies, and most veggies already have to be imported anyway. Compared to importing other meats,

My BS-O-metre just went off big time. First off, this is an extreme generalization that does not pick up local differences. Take the Northeren hemisphere for instance, where meat is in many instances the most effective way to utilize our gr

This seems to be the model in Norway for both power and internet service. You pay a small fee for "line rent" in both instances. While this works well for electricity in Norway, IMO it's not that good for internet service. Ho

Depends. Some companies do accept English speakers, but not all. I'd call them up about it before applying. Most accept Danish or Swedish, though. If you're just looking for a restaurant job, then most of them accept English only

Not sure if it's completely related, but I found the phenomena of the North Atlantic Oscillation [1] to be particulary useful in predicting long-term weather around the South of Norway. This time around, in December 2019, I predicted a

I wonder how satellite links and p2p devices could circumvent state-controlled ISPs. For instance I saw some interesting work on how to make HAM radio into packet radio. On the other hand, there was a dark time in Norway when you could be s

The Democratic Party is a long-standing "bankers party" and "corporatists party" (a party for big companies and organizations). In that sense, they're just as "bad" as the Republican Party, and due to how

Well, for starters (given two-way communication) you can ask them for the sources of their claims, or at least demand that they defend the logic behind it. Then you can take it from there, and unravel the fallacies for them. Or if you want
