In rural Northern Norway, it’s common to move out at 16 to attend high school in a town. Most aren’t ready for it.

Same. I tried really hard to learn it but gave up in frustration. 5ish years with plenty of computer use later I suddenly found myself typing without looking.


IIRC tax reasons made it very much smarter to buy a Tesla in Dec 2025 than in Jan 2026. Norway has had a drop in sales, but stuff like this skews the numbers.
“Gonna buy a nazi mobile yet?”
“Nah, I have ethics.”
“They will be more expensive next year though”

I deleted (not deactivated) my account back in 2014. In 2022 I tried logging in and found my profile exactly as I left it, nothing gone…


Yes. I haven’t cried in about 20 years. Tried my best at my dad’s funeral. I don’t have a story that brings sense into it, it’s like I just grew out of emotions.


If the nutrients are not as available, that should point to processing for extracting proteins and such rather than eating the insects directly. Like they do with some fungi for creating meat replacements. I think lab-grown meat and protein-rich plants make more sense, but anything that can feed people with less land use is a step forward.
I’ve been thinking about this in the context of research project applications, which often have to be dozens of pages long and every sentence perfectly formulated to show we are competent and tick all the boxes. Now we can just have AI do it. I’m waiting patiently for people to realize this and start an era of post-perfectionism.
I want my applications to be like this:
“So we’ve published some papers in clay chemistry now [1-4], and lots of things have been done by others lately [5,6], so i was thinking i could work together with Mike Hunt over at University of Stoneworthingtonham to expand those ideas and also see what happens when you put the clay in an oven. Could we get some cash for that?”
(Instead of putting the same thing into an AI and have it write it professionally)
And still it forms the central cogs in the corporate machine.


We wouldn’t forget this soon. And king Harald is 88 years old, so it won’t be long before his son takes over. If she becomes his queen, she would be an unpopular one.


In Norway we only have the red ones. Shy small things that run to climb up a tree when you approach. You’re lucky to see one.
I saw the grey ones first time when I visited Oxford. Students were sitting in the grass, and a hundred squirrels just ran around in-between them. Very different creatures indeed.


Ah, I recognize their cool flag from my vexillology days. 🤓


I joined today! I tried to post some images, but could only have one image per post. Then someone was rude, and I wasn’t able to downvote him. I keep refreshing the front page, but nothing happens since there’s no algorithm, the latest posts just stay there.
I think I’ll stick around here in parallel to Reddit. Maybe some day I’ll understand how instances and all of that works.
I hung soo much on Get that azzhole?, a site with a huge collection of user-made cars for GTA1. It wasn’t easy to find the URL back, but I got it through the equally retro-looking https://www.lnkworld.com/.
