I think everybody in most jobs/positions should have the opportunity to learn and grow. This is “just” a moderator and some leeway should be given, IMHO.
If it happens again by the mod, and if it becomes a “regular” thing by several mods, then the guillotine should be used frequently and without trials.
Huawei har really taken a nose dive. Good phones, but after the whole debacle, virtually nobody in Western world buys them
Fint forget the kangaroo!
Well… It’s not “Norway has a map of murders”, but a newspaper in Norway has made a map of murders in Norway.
That’s neat and all. But how do they retract their heads?
This is probably not in the same categories as other experiences, buuuut the Guinness museum in Dublin the evening before st Patrick’s day was quite fun!
There’s a large bar at the top/end of the museum and a band was playing and 100 or so people ended up in a conga line.
I think I had 4 tasty Guinness during the museum tour sand countless at the museum bar😅
Well… It used to be called “going postal” because of the frequent mass shootings in postal offices by postal workers…
Why that changed I can’t tell you.
On a slightly funny(?) note, postal the game was created where you are in fact going postal. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postal_(video_game)
Apparently there is a plot line that is not about shooting postal workers, so who knows.
For anybody like myself who doesn’t know enough ancient greek… Lithos means rock…

Exactly. It is potential debt and it goes against getting new loan/debt from banks. No matter if you have used the credit card or not. The banks look at the available limit on an your credit cards or available credit and view that as debt when they calculate how much they can loan you.
In Norway having loads of credit cards is negative for getting a house loan as it is potential debt that goes against your payment ability for the house loan.
Meaning we do have a credit score system for getting loans and more stuff on various credit solutions, but credit cards works against larger loans.
Which can be a pain in the ass when you want to buy a house/apartment and have credit cards that might deny you the last bit of money to win the bidding war…
There’s loads of comments mentioning this site https://metric-time.com/
Thats brukt beyond kiloseconds and into something else entirely
I’m sure the artist intended to be smart and use metric time as something silly.
The problem is he used regular time.
60 * 60 * 24=86400=>86.4 kseconds where k stands for 1000. Like kilo for 1000 grams. Kilometer for 1000 meters etc.
The comic doesn’t make sense…
Early termination fees are not that horrible. They can give you a monthly cost where some of the costs for installing it might be distributed over they contact period. Fine and ok
But i should still be able to cancel my contract without jumping through 11 loops and queues.
If you sign up for a given contract, that’s what you have agreed upon. It sucks if you only have one option and they can set a ridiculous price. So if you want to regulate pricing, that’s a different matter. Cancelling is something else altogether.
I hope it was a genious piece of code that was miles ahead of what it replaced.
And still it got rejected 😄
Well… How do you define what a group of ppl look like? Are all Japanese of the same descent? Can an immigrant not become Japanese? How would this play out in the US? Only native Americans could represent the country? Or are you inferring that a given number of years must pass before a new skin tone can represent a country?
Just curious, you do know that such a rule would eventually reduce the human race to nill? Natural and unnatural deaths requires 2,X to remain at same level.
Btw, you should watch the British series Utopia
The state can of course intervene. Happens quite often when essential workers go on strike like medical workers, law enforcement and if teachers go on strike for too long.
So you can in theory go on an indefinite strike, but the state can swoop in an decide what the new number is. In Norway we can it “tvungen lønnsnemnd”, which can be translated to “forced pay agreement”.
Nobody wants this, but it happens. In some occupations more than others.
Most likely its a payment plan for purchases. Klarna is a company where you can delay payment and such. They are a third party connection, so I believe a webshop will not know that is input on Klarnas end. But who knows how Midtgård does in their checkout process…
Wtf? You think a rusty icepick is a valid response if someone calls you by wrong name and gender? Y’all need Jesus or some shit like that. Damn…
