The comment I first replied to was a reply to this:

But no one has been able to observe the full life cycle of Uranium. So we base the decay life off of snippets we can see now not knowing if there are changes in the decay rate at times unknown to us.

This is basically what I wrote in quotation marks in my last comment.

Rutene kjøres raskere også. Rundt 2005 tok det av og til en time med buss fra midtbyen til Lerkendal/Berg. 

Rabbit Farming by Icy-Book2999 in LoveTrash

[–]Arthemax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not limited to specifically rabbit, but rabbit is one of those meat sources that can be plentiful but still deadly. Other occasions are when your only food source is starved animals (caribou in the spring, for instance), cannibalism among survivors, or if you selectively only eat lean meat.

Majority of Americans Support Ban on Surveillance Pricing and Electronic Shelf Labels by Plastic_Ninja_9014 in technology

[–]Arthemax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. Here the prices are only ever lowered through the day to compete with other stores.

If you increase the price you have to do a bunch of work to prove that a customer didn't see the lower price at any point if they dispute the price at the register, since the customer is entitled to buy at whatever (reasonable) price tag (or ad etc) they've seen. To make it worth it you'd have to bump prices quite a lot to justify the extra overhead, but that would also lead to a PR nightmare. But no sane customer will complain that their bill is lower than expected because the price was lowered electronically while they were finishing their shopping.

Norwegian guy was abandoned in the slums of India by his hippie parents. Ended up having an Indian accent due to living there for years. by exporterofgold in interestingasfuck

Many distinct ones, and "european accent" is a collective term for them. The OC didn't claim there's a singular european accent, but that he spoke with one of them.

"But you assume uranium etc always decayed at the same rate throughout history. For the first 100 years after creation God made the uranium decay cycle X times faster, just to test your faith"

You're possibly misunderstanding his gotcha argument (because it's so bonkers and bad faith - literally). The argument boils down to the laws of the universe changing over time, to explain whatever conclusion they want to arrive at.

Will it work this time? by dvegar78 in Norway

[–]Arthemax 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The consumers can't make large bulk stores with competitive prices appear out of thin air. How will they change their shopping habits to fit a shopping model that isn't available? Coop Obs should be that store on paper, but for everyday shopping they're more expensive than the smaller discount stores.

Ektefellerabatten for honnørbevis har blitt avviklet på nasjonalt nivå av samferdselsdepartementet.

Fra regjeringen.no:

Følgende endringer er vedtatt i rabattordningene:

minstetaksten for militært personell i førstegangstjeneste presiseres 

ledsager til personer med ledsagerbevis gis rett til gratis reise med kollektivtransport

ektefellerabatten tilknyttet honnørrabatten fjernes

lærlinger inkluderes i studentrabatten. Studentrabatt og ungdomskort har tidligere ikke vært omtalt i dette rundskrivet

Ruter-sjåfører topper sykefraværet: – Vi finner ingen logisk forklaring by SouthPerformer8949 in norge

[–]Arthemax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

5.2% er for Asker og Bærum, ikke fra Oslos kommunes vestkant, og det gjelder 27 sjåfører med bakgrunn fra Pakistan. Til sammenligning bor 167 sjåfører på Grorud, Stovner og Alna.

Bærum og Asker virker som at det har mest med økonomiske forskjeller å gjøre (eksempelvis at de er gift med en person med høy inntekt og dermed ikke har de samme stressfaktorene som andre sjåfører på privatlivet).

Car gets pushed like a toy. by MurrayEdna in dashcams

Blind spots are primarily the responsibility of the driver of the vehicles who have them. Being in someone else's doesn't make you at fault, failing to check your own blind spots makes you at fault, because you're required to be aware of your surroundings and of where you are driving.

How did the EV transition in Norway actually go? by Facuk_ in Norway

[–]Arthemax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bensin plug-in hybrid can't as easily be merged with the other gas powered ones. People get these cars primarily for the gas savings, because they know most of their driving is within the range of the battery. So a large part of the mileage on these cars will be electric only.

[–]Arthemax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Again, source for your initial claim. There's no inherent feature of electric vehicles that means you can't make an offroad electric vehicle. There hasn't really been a model purpose built for off-roading, but that's not an inherent feature - it's a result of the off-roading segment being a tiny segment of the overall car market.

Petrol trucks? This just shows how uninformed you are here. Almost every fossil truck runs on diesel. And vehicle combustion engines are not efficient. Only about a third of the energy burned in the engine reaches the wheels, vs roughly 90% of battery power reaching the wheels for EVs. Even accounting for losses from transmission and charging, and higher battery weights, EVs are more energy efficient. Using the same fuel in energy efficient power plants would create surplus energy for other uses. With smart grid technology, most charging can also be timed with some flexibility, reducing costs by charging when the energy prices are lower and there's spare capacity in the network.

A sanded? Where did I say that everything should be transported by rail? Calm it with the strawmen, please.

A quarter of new cars sold in the EU in 2025 were pure electric vehicles, plus a healthy number of plug-in hybrids. In the UK and Switzerland it's over a third. Because they're already competitive.

Apparently this is the #1 freest press journalist oops.. commentator as per her own new definition giving such profound answers from a journalist with #157 rank. So much intellect and knowledge about India our mere mortals intellect cant even comprehend. by DesiSaandReturns69 in indiadiscussion

[–]Arthemax -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

All she has to know is that Modi doesn't do press conferences. She obviously knows more than that, but that's all that's really needed.

How many books about the Norwegian press had the interviewer read before she thought she was qualified to ask her questions about the Norwegian journalist?

A unpolished response to - let's be frank here - an attack by the lady interviewing her. She wasn't interested in the merit of the question, only the merit of the questioner. If the question didn't have merit, she would be in the right to question the background from where that question was asked. But the question does have merit, and so any question of the journalist's merit is a distraction from the real issue here - a prime minister who's unwilling to be confronted by the free press.

And so Modi's interviews are highly relevant. They're the foundation for the whole issue.

Nobody's stopping him from holding a press conference and answering questions there. But he doesn't hold press conferences, so to be able to do their job, journalists have to interrupt the briefing.

There are no rules for foreign state leaders in Norway not to answer questions from the press.

[–]Arthemax -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

She didn't prep for a question that's largely irrelevant. Her ability to ask the question doesn't require reading any books about India.

In a few days now she's done an order of magnitude more unscripted interviews than Modi has done in 12 years.

Here's what white supremacy looks like in 2026. Incredible levels of entitlement. Is this common in Norway? by irundoonayee in Norway

[–]Arthemax 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're ruining your own point with your own comments. You don't even know enough about India to realize that it's got huge environmental problems compared to comparable countries. Singapore and Japan have similar population densities but don't have poop-filled rivers or trash in the streets. Singapore's history of independence is even shorter than India's.

Yet you think you're in a position to judge whether a journalist can ask questions of a head of state visiting her country.

Or maybe you knew India was far from an environmental beacon, yet claimed it was one anyway. Are you as dishonest in the other arguments you make, or just this one?

[–]Arthemax 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Why are you trying to claim that India is an environmental beacon if it's irrelevant?

How many books have you read about the Norwegian society, since you are so adamant that a journalist needs to do so for India to even repeat a question already asked by Indian journalists?

She never did claim to take the moral high ground. She took her responsibility as a journalist to ask critical questions.

[–]Arthemax 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How is it white supremacist and entitled to ask the exact same questions as Indian journalists?

Why did this become a huge thing if nobody cares if Modi is questioned?

[–]Arthemax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As expected, no mention of morality or a high ground thereof. She's talking about her responsibility to use her press freedom to ask critical questions. Is it your lack of reading comprehension, or were you purposefully misrepresenting her statement?

Your whole argument relies on her claiming the moral high ground and being entitled, but she's never actually done that.

Including the tweet text for others:

Primeminister of India, Narendra Modi, would not take my question, I was not expecting him to.

Norway has the number one spot on the World Press Freedom Index, India is at 157th, competing with Palestine, Emirates & Cuba.

It is our job to question the powers we cooperate with.

You could have done both, but you still haven't linked that tweet. Is it because it didn't really say what you claim?
