Haha, thanks! I was going to write the "Koreans" or "Kia/Hyundai" but apparently failed :)

I expect them to be higher by the end of the year, I think it’s just how their large delivery batches line up. Tesla M3 (LR) was the most sold car of any type (ICE and EV) in Norway last year.

You could be right about that. Zoe is just one of many options. If you need the range you probably want a larger car as well (chargers are everywhere here, short range car for commutes isn’t a problem.) Most other long range cars also have

Either go for a fast charging car, fastest Tesla moves 1000 km in 10h (incl charging), newest E-tron manages the same in 10h20m (Teslabjørn’s tests). Or go for something super efficient, like the Kias (Kona/Ioniq). Kona does 560 km on

Very interesting, the Zoe is all the way back on 7th place here in Norway (more than 50% of all new cars here are electric), I wonder why there's a big difference compared with "mainland Europe".. Of all time: Leaf, Golf, i3,

- Pull power inside the wall. Drill a hole on top, another one on the bottom, use one of those magnetic cable pullers. Wires for 5v requires two tiny holes in drywall that's easy to patch later. There's also pretty kits made for T

I think you’re wrong, everyone knows that Bezos would never do a “I have decided to give back to my community” of any kind. :P

Yes, it's also really future proof with that A13 chip. That said though, the 6S is surprisingly good even today. Doesn't feel slow for normal tasks, and probably supported for at least one more OS upgrade cycle. Impressive little

Crank motors are generally much more responsive than hub motors if used for pedal assist (as is required by law many places). Having it apply torque via the chain/belt also mean you can gear the motor output on your back wheel.

Won’t the future tax revenue generated by that child (on average) easily cover that cost many times over? (And maybe even help cover your own retirement?)

This article from national geographics[1] explains it well I think. Objects were lost in the snow by travellers crossing the mountains up to 2000 years ago, over time they got covered in stationary ice (glaciers move and crush items). Now t

They're finding tons of old stuff here in Norway these days, even random people hiking in the mountain stumble over 1250 year old viking swords[1], spears, arrows. Skis from the year 700 AD.. etc.. Lots of it gets documented by the Sec

Norway pays 20 days of full salary, then 62.5% for up to 2 year (maxed at $60000/yr). I don't know how many of their employees are Norwegian though..

I'm guessing a combination of information blackout, and lack of testing equipment. Where are the world's PCR machines located?

Same issue for dual display setup, my workaround is to label the cables and make damn sure I plug them in the same order and same port every time. If I do it wrong I’ve to do the display settings and rotate both screens routine.. Another op

That's a really confusing name, I was expecting some sort of new VT100 alternative, or maybe a new terminal emulator.

Have you considered audio books? Doesn't work that well for many(/most?) technical books, but it's great for fiction, and easy to pair with a busy life. I listen to tons of audio books while walking, commuting to work, doing

Which mean you went the scenic route, crossed the mountain, hit the fjords, etc. The leg after Voss on Flåm->Bergen won the price of "the worst road in Norway"[1]. The motorways are mostly on the south-eastern part of Norway, w

Seatbelt issue is probably going away. My car will nag the hell out of me if anyone isn't wearing a seatbelt at speeds over 20 km/h. I assume this is true for most modern cars. Part of the population who didn't grow up with s

It's being attributed to safer cars, better roads, lower speed limits, more cycle lanes and less cars in the city center. (cars were / are being banned from parts of the city)
