Noone knows complaining better than I do. I’m the best complainer, and I know people in the industry that say I’m better than anyone they’ve ever met.

Norway has universal healthcare for everyone. Going to the ER is free. Ambulance is free. Surgery is free. Checkups and tests are heavily subsidised where we only pay a small fee (like $20). If you spend more than x-amount on fees annually, you get the fees waived for the remainder of the year.

We have health insurances, but that will only allow you to go to private clinics with less wait times. These insurances are normally paid by employers with highly skilled workers. It’s not considered to be a necessity.

The Norwegian healthcare isn’t cheap, and we pay around 35-40% income tax, and 25% VAT, but our income doesn’t dictate what type of services we’re allowed to get. Poverty is low, and crime rates are low.

Socialism works.

Probably because they are feeling like the electoral system is not working for them at the moment. Sometimes you need to tear it down completely in order to build it up properly. Trump seems to be the perfect candidate to fuck it all up, before someone else can take over the wheel.

I’ve got a ID4 and they are all capacitive buttons. It makes a tactile vibration when engaged.

I hate my car. Nice to drive, but awful to use.

I worked at a factory that produced food with onion as one of the main ingredients. The best trick was to breathe with the mouth. Breathing with my nose would always make my eyes cry.

Every Mark Rober video is now an ad. They’re also loud and obnoxious, so I’ve stopped watching them.

I’ve actually never watched a Mr Beast video. They never came up in my feed.

I currently drive a BMW i3 (BEV). Best car I’ve ever owned.

I had the HTC Desire Z back in the day, with a full qwerty keyboard underneath the screen. It was awesome to write on, but it lacked performance.

You read the post, but did you process it? Read it again, and you might eventually get the joke.

He-He la Burger

Gerd is a female name where I’m from. You should stick with neek.

Licensing: the same code i compiled yesterday doesn’t compile today.

Artificial Intelligence is a bad word for this technology. Why are we not using the proper name for it? Machine Learning. Its not intelligent, and it might not be for a long time. Feed it crap, and you’ll receive crap.

I bet the mentality is: “why would i want to have a bus stop when I always use my car”.

As opposed to “it would have beed nice to have a bus stop so that I don’t need to use my car”

I agree. Because of this, I actually changed carrier to one that was cheaper, had better coverage and free eSIM.

I tried to transfer my eSIM from my old S21 to my new S24 the other day. It failed miserably. My carrier charges me $10 for a new eSIM (which i think is way too much for a digital service). Transferring eSIMs sounds like a good idea if it works, but might not be endorsed by carriers that earn large profits from the service.

Because journalists aren’t aeronerds.

Killswitch Engage - My Curse

This is my curse

This is my purse

Why?

I bought an Aeropress a few years ago and absolutely love it. Then I realised that my cheap grinder wasn’t all that great, so I bougt a $400 grinder. My quality of life is at its peak right now.
