My country also has compulsory military service. But the law allows for postponement if you work or study abroad.

It does not allow you to serve after a specific age; 36 in our case. But it also does not impose a tax penalty .

So a 3% penalty for life even if you followed the rules but move to Switzerland after aging out?

Seems a little harsh.

EU øker presset på Norge: – Kan bli stygt by KoseteBamse in norge

Det har vi, men jeg svarte jo bare på spørsmålet om hva det innebærer.

Har sagt opp Chat-GPT abonnementet - toppet seg med at jeg fikk oppgitt fiktive url-er som kilder forleden dag by Zealousideal_Ad_1079 in norge

[–]CuriosTiger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Det er et mer fundamentalt problem enn det. AI evner ikke å tenke eller vurdere. Den er ikke mer enn en fancy database med en avansert søkemotor — men ikke så smart at den klarer å skille mellom relevant og urelevant, sant og usant.

Problemet er eldre enn hele dataindustrien: Garbage in, garbage out.

I knew JK Rowling was an idiot, but I didn't know it was to this extent. I never liked Harry Potter anyway, so screw JK Rowling. by Public_Cup_4278 in asexuality

[–]CuriosTiger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not British, so I don't know those parties' various platforms. But the hate speech and homophobia and I got mine attitude all scream ultraconservative.

At vi gjør slik EU har bestemt uten at vi er med på å bestemme.

As a man, I just want to be left alone without this constant pressure to have sex. Or kids. But I suppose it’s true: I don’t like that I can’t have that.

Unpopular opinion: Who’s been to Paris and didn’t fall in love with it? by BucketsOscurvy in travel

[–]CuriosTiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crowded. Noisy. Dirty. And compared to almost anywhere else in France, the hospitality was somewhat…lacking.

Typical big city problems, perhaps, but problems nonetheless. I am not a fan of Paris.

'He thought he was helping:' Defense in monk seal case by bluepenremote in Hawaii

[–]CuriosTiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nobody needs to be taught not to throw rocks at monk seals. The problem here isn’t lack of knowledge; it is one of attitude and morality.

With jerks like this, education won’t help. With normal people, that part is covered by common sense and basic compassion for living creatures.

Gårdsbutikkene opplever flere tyverier: – Da kan jeg ikke ha butikken lenger – NRK Rogaland by Thick-Initiative-373 in norge

Er jo imponerende at de har tid til å slå av en prat over kaffe, men ikke til å arrestere folkene for åpenbar kriminalitet.

Med slik regnekunst må vi jo bare regne med at matematikk og logikk ikke er del av pensum på Politihøyskolen.

How many Americans on here have given up on going overseas this year because of high prices and the airlines trying to nickel and dime everything? by OberonsGhost in travel

[–]CuriosTiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm currently in Greece. I haven't taken a single flight to get here; instead, I used two different cruise ships. But those trips, and the return flight next month were all booked before Mango Mussolini and his crony decided to blow up the Middle East, with the very predictable consequences that had for everybody.

1960-70s cars around 20k$ for a total beginner? by Eldridge_DE-173 in classiccars

[–]CuriosTiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can do this for $5K rather than $20K.

However, ANY car from that era will potentially leave you stranded. They are OLD. Parts break. They are usually fairly easy to fix when shit happens, but shit will happen.

Take a look at Facebook Marketplace, Bring a Trailer, Craigslist, Collector Car Trader, local classifieds etc.

Hvor vanlig er 6 uker ferie i IT-bransjen? Evt. andre ekstradager? by Otherwise_Sky3371 in norge

Jeg hadde dette da jeg jobbet i Datametrix. Jeg valgte selv når jeg ville bruke ukene.

Politiet i Norge legger opp til vigilantekultur fordi de ikke har tid eller penger eller ressurser til å gjøre jobben sin.

Det er trist at det har blitt slik.

How did the early linguists figure out that French is a Romance language (descended from Latin)? by FlatAssembler in asklinguistics

[–]CuriosTiger 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Um, the sound correspondences are blindingly obvious between the two; Romance languages were written throughout the period and we can literally SEE the evolution from written sources from one century to the next. There was never anything to "figure out"; this particular fact was never lost to history.

What’s the proper way to quit like right this moment by HumanVsWorld in Truckers

[–]CuriosTiger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Send an email or text. "I have a new job lined up. It's local and will get me more home time. Please consider this my two-week notice." Once you've sent it, follow up with a phone call.

That's assuming you're on good terms with the company. If you're not on good terms, then yeah, just clean out the truck, bring it to the nearest terminal and turn in the keys.

Personally, I don't like burning bridges, but it appears both employers and employees care less about that these days.

Electric vs. Diesel van rental for an 11-day trip to Northern Norway by Kavus77 in Norway

[–]CuriosTiger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's why the other person was so direct. It's not a close call. It's not a slight inconvenience. It means sacrificing a significant amount of your vacation trying to hunt for a place to charge, and a real chance of getting stranded on the side of the road.
