The Norwegian prison system emphasizes rehabilitation over punishment. Norwegian prisons are generally decent places. Turns out that treating prisoners like human beings makes them much less likely to reoffend and go back to prison.

Pound. It literally says so

In addition, when reheating liquidy food, you should try using a lower power level for a longer period of time. This tends to heat it more evenly.

I was exaggerating to make a point. But one of the main reasons why I switched to Firefox (about a year ago) was because it was eating up so much of my CPU.

It also eats up like 99% of your CPU

If only there existed, like, a club for workers where everyone pays a membership fee to cover each other’s legal costs and protect each other’s rights. We could call it a “togetherness” or something like that

In most civilized countries, voting takes place on weekends and your employer is legally obligated to let you leave work to go vote

These are all the questions my girlfriend asks me all the time and I give her the deer-in-the-headlights look.
I really need her in my life lol

Runk means masturbation in Icelandic so that adds another layer of hilarity to this

Sure, I guess we don’t need writers, painters, visual artists, musicians and filmmakers. I mean, what do they do really, enrich our culture and move our souls? Pff, AI can do that easily.

Well said!

I went on a 2 week holiday earlier this year and I barely took a single picture lol

That’s definitely the case since I can’t read Chinese lol

That’s super interesting! I barely know any Chinese and probably just assumed the characters were for language instead of numbers.
The public transit system used arabic numbers (maybe as well as the Chinese characters?), so at least that was easy to navigate lol

When I went to China about 5 years ago, all the numbers were Arabic numbers. Not sure if this is a regional thing, or if this is a more recent development.

A catapult can buy many peanuts

That’s perfectly fine, I use soap because I eat meat and my gf is vegetarian so I don’t want to leave any grease. Also I find soap just makes it a bit easier to clean.

Dude, you’re not supposed to scrape off the seasoning every time you wash the pan. I reapply a bit of oil maybe once or twice a year. I normally just wash it some soap and water after cooking.

Or someone overlaid their face over another video as a “reaction” but they contribute nothing of value to the original video

I slept in my car on public rest stops while on a road trip in Norway.
IIRC you can sleep in your car there for two nights, which I never ended up doing anyway because I was travelling.
Public rest stops are amazing, there’s usually pretty clean toilets, benches for picnics and sometimes even showers or a lake to bathe in.
