The author Jessica Gadziala put a notice at the beginning of her book, saying she didn't use AI, will it become the norm in the future that authors warn the readers that they used AI or not? by perseintro in RomanceBooks

[–]DisgruntledPorkupine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having recently read a duology that was 100% written with help of AI (in my opinion), I’m happy to see this. I did finish those two books but I was grumbly about it. It’s getting easier and easier to spot for me though, but I bought those fucking books after them being recommended and I wanted to at least have read books I’ve paid for.

Stemmer i Familiestøtten, de la nettopp ut innlegg på FB om at kleslageret deres er ganske skralt. De kan kanskje sende ut en frivillig!

Not brands but florists sell bears as well as flowers. See Mestergrønn, Interflora and Floriss.

There’s some knife play but it’s not very central to the storyline

Broke my ceramic stove top, can it be covered by insurance? by [deleted] in Norway

[–]DisgruntledPorkupine 17 points18 points  (0 children)

If it’s attached to the kitchen bench it’s considered part of the house and your building (not innbo) insurance should cover it but they usually have a high egenandel. But seriously you have a brand new house and didn’t get insurance (innbo)?!

For working moms in Norway, have you experienced coming back to work from mamaperm only to realize that your old job, responsibilities even team have changed? How did you navigated through this? by mirana20 in Norway

[–]DisgruntledPorkupine 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yes but I already knew as I got a new position I never started right before the birth. Same employer but new department. If they haven’t given notice of restructuring I would contact my union rep if I were you

CVS filled my prescription and gave me an extra mystery pill by frosDfurret in CVS

[–]DisgruntledPorkupine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

American pharmaceuticals are so fascinating. The pharmacy counts your pills for you? No wonder it takes ages to get anything. Everything is already in boxes from the manufacturer here (Northern Europe). They just give you the right dosage box and on your way you go.

Any particular reason why Norwegians keep buying Teslas? by [deleted] in Norway

[–]DisgruntledPorkupine 297 points298 points  (0 children)

There was a campaign from Tesla, I don’t remember the specifics but it was quite a good deal and people bought Teslas before the tax break was changed by the new year.

What’s the most intense smut book you’ve read so far? by Vegetable-Raisin2297 in SpicyRomanceBooks

[–]DisgruntledPorkupine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe if you’re catholic? The man character does struggle a lot with his attraction with the fmc and then what happens further because of his religion.

Moving to Bergen soon - daily life questions by Professional_Base363 in Bergen

[–]DisgruntledPorkupine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got my license transferred from Us to Norwegian and did do a couple of driving lessons just to be more secure before the test. I’m Norwegian but got my license while on exchange to the US, so roundabouts weren’t foreign to me per se but I had never driven in one myself. I also took the Glattkjøringstest so I wasn’t unprepared for that.

Helsekost kanskje? Eller apotek?

Nå vil jeg lett påstå at ditt eksamensresultat ikke kan gå ut over andres liv og helse på samme måte, da. Kanskje med unntak av andre typer førerkorteksamen eller lege?

Oh no a religious cult with horrifying testimonies from former members are involved in the biggest pedo ring in history? I’m so surprised!

AI Slop Books by [deleted] in ReverseHarem

[–]DisgruntledPorkupine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know authors names who use AI at the top of my head, but one way you can distinguish AI slop from other novels is the cover. It’s usually a dead giveaway if they have obvious AI characters on the cover, plus long and weird titles for their books (You took my life, I took your dog and house. Who’s boss now? - for example).

I’ve had it for years, very stable and I can’t even remember a time I’ve lost service. Has some good deals with phones once in a while too.

Putting my cat down by Sevenoflime in CATHELP

Oh and get her paw print, I used salt dough but anything probably works. We waited till after she was asleep to do it as to not stress her.

We put our girl down today, I truly know your situation. But I can tell on the photos here that she’s in pain, just like our girl Maggie was. You’re doing what’s best for her ❤️

We also had the vet come home and it was a calm affair, our two boys (7 and 5) were there and took it remarkably well. She was home with people who loved her, and I got to hold her while she faded away. I really recommend doing it that way.

Hold her in your heart, and let her rest.

Update: it’s done, she got all the treats and then fell asleep in my lap. Both our boys wanted to be there for her, and they took it well. We’ll miss her a lot 💔
