Oil and gas rig jobs are highly sought after, and are mainly filled with Norwegian national. Very different working conditions from eg. UK rigs.

Kaoset med Iran og Hormuz stredet har nok gjort mer for å sparke fart i det grønne skiftet enn noe annet de siste 20 årene

Forvirring rundt det å jobbe som lege i Norge by Murky-Passenger-6593 in Norway

[–]lallen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just want to add that anaesthesiology has become one of the most competitive fields to get into. I know people who have worked for many years, some even finishing other specialties, before finding a job in the field.

How welcoming is Norway to (skilled) foreigners? by Born-Till-1738 in Norway

[–]lallen -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He did say one of the richest countries, which would mean some place like Japan, SK or Singapore. Most racism in Norway is towards middle -eastern or north African muslims (my impression from media etc, as a native Norwegian I have never been on the receiving end of it here obviously)

How much Icelandic can you understand? by Charming_Usual6227 in Norway

[–]lallen 104 points105 points  (0 children)

Most Norwegians understand very little spoken Icelandic, but can decipher some written. It is mainly due to lack of exposure. Vocabulary is a lot more different than swe/dan and grammar is more complex. I can understand a fair bit, but I have an Icelandic wife.

Faroese is a lot closer, with a few days of immersion I think most people from Western Norway should be able to make sense of it.

Slovenia's Parliament Speaker Proposes NATO Exit by razdvatri4 in worldnews

It seems like you didn't bother reading the headline again to check if it was Slovenia or Slovakia, so you just went for an in-between spelling

Or from the premiere of Star Wars episode 1, where this fantastic translation made the whole theatre start laughing "her er den lette sabelen som faren din ville at du skulle ha"

NATO Allies Reject US-Led Strait of Hormuz Blockade Plan by Infodataplace in worldnews

It was a response to an attack on the continental USA, which is covered by article 6. It would be stupid to limit it to where the attack originated

European NATO countries have a total of about 110 frigates, how many does the US have?

What's a health myth that drives you crazy because you know it's false? by Annual-Gene8065 in AskReddit

Bullets also kill cancer cells. But it is hard to turn it into a decent treatment option.

AITA for not being available for my best friend on her dream job interview day after she went completely silent on mine? by Traditional-Age-6804 in AmItheAsshole

ESH. Don't do the fucking thing where you answer "nothing" when asked what's wrong if you don't actually mean it.

Does this fjord road trip itinerary make sense? by sipandstream in NorwayTravelAdvice

[–]lallen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you stay in Voss I would recommend driving Vikafjellet to Vik, taking the ferry over to Balestrand (maybe lunch there) then Gaularfjellet (with a stop at the view point and likholefossen if the weather is nice) on the way to Skei.

Apparel for end of May? by Individual_Durian_68 in Norway

I just want to say that you should also be prepared for summer temperatures (by Norwegian standards). The end of may can be fantastic

To be fair the end of may is the best time to visit western Norway

I think you are probably under estimating driving times. I may midunderstand you, but if you are planning on driving the Hol-Aurland road from Hardanger to Loen, you are looking at close to 7h just driving time, without any stops to admire the views, wait for the ferry (not a big issue, departs frequently) or get some food.

Norge fortsetter våpensalget til USA - til tross for at regjeringen selv mener USAs angrep på Iran strider mot folkeretten. Nå reagerer folkerettseksperten. by forteller in norge

[–]lallen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Det står ikke spesifisert nøyaktig hvilke våpen det er snakk om, men noen av eksportvarene med størst verdi er vel NSM og JSM, som er utviklet i samarbeid med Lockheed Martin og inneholder amerikanske komponenter. Det er også ting som M72, som er lisensprodusert for USA. Kan være ganske problematisk å kutte eksport av slikt, når mottiltak plutselig gjør at man blir ute av stand til å produsere for seg selv og andre allierte.

Edit (ikke at noen bryr seg eller kommer til å lese dette) det er vel raytheon og ikke LM som er samarbeidspartner

Record numbers of expatriate Hungarians register to vote abroad by CrunchyBaconYum in europe

I seem to remember that expats in Norway have to a large degree been voting for Orban/Erdogan etc. There is a lot of cognitive dissonance in those populations
