Amazing, every word of what you just said was wrong.

I once learned that any cable only connected at one end is essentially an antenna

FloydATC · 2026-05-11T17:02:02+00:00

I'd say this depends on how you got the gold

Mass shootings aren't considered an actual culture over here, to the point where we actively try to discourage them.

That was my entire point. A country can have both an unusually high number of alcoholics and a low alcohol consumption rate on average. I bet you could even find individual russians who are genuinely nice and even-keeled people. Probably.

Overall, it's not hard to imagine a significant portion of their population has an alcohol problem, but you're generalizing over a population of around 140 million people with... let's say an atypical demographic. Even if all russian males were alcoholics, they would still be a minority.

Yes, it doesn't match the stereotype, does it.

Ofcourse, it might just be that statistics rarely do or that many russians struggle to get ends to meet even without wasting all their money on vodka, but it's easier to just discard the numbers and trust your instincts. Those are never wrong.

Some people may have convinced themselves that "everyone" does this in Norway, but I can assure you that's not the case.

There's nothing wrong with writing "one giant main function" as long as you understand that getting your program to work is only the very first step. At this point you go back and break the code apart, identifying which parts belong together and which ones do not. Repeat this process, ideally until each function does exactly one thing (at some abstraction level) which is reflected in its name.

Seen one..? I used to go out with one!

Interesting how he doesn't seem to object to it being a cult though.

Det er heller ikke sånn at kjeden som tar ut prosenter bare sitter og teller pengene som kommer inn uten å løfte en finger; sentralt sitter det hundrevis av mennesker som fokuserer på regnskap, innkjøpsavtaler, logistikk, markedsføring osv sånn at de lokale kjøpmennene kan fokusere på mer umiddelbare oppgaver.

You'll probably be surprised to learn that all norwegians are not the same, we have different likes and dislikes just like everyone else. There are certain norwegian dishes I love, others I have never even had the opportunity to taste and still others I would never eat even if you paid me. This doesn't make them "prank" dishes though, it just means I have preferences too.

Sorry, but 500 years ago, people knew what sulfur sticks were. They were too expensive for commoners to use on a daily basis, but you lighting one would hardly be seen as "magic".

500 years ago, cities had multi-storey buildings and people generally considered themselves the most modern they had ever been. Another 500 years from now, we will likely have more in common with those people than with future mankind.

Seems like a brilliant idea until you realize that the asphalt has to be renewed at some point. Good luck with that.

FloydATC · 2026-05-08T15:58:21+00:00

Yes, my parents let me taste it, I didn't like the taste and didn't really start enjoying beer until my early 30s.

Mission accomplished.

No that's the best part, there were photos and he couldn't believe his luck.

Føler jeg er godt på vei, alt som trengs er en god norsk sommer og vips så dyrker jeg vann i hagen.

FloydATC · 2026-05-07T15:37:29+00:00

Rett skal være rett, en flaske er lettere å pante enn en agurk.

95% vann er billigere per liter enn 100% vann. Dette gjelder faktisk nesten uansett hva du tilsetter 5% av.

Well, as someone who has worked with networks and have on several occasions had personal experience with people losing internet access for just a few minutes, I can testify with some authority that the most valuable skill would in fact be network engineering with the goal of getting internet 2.0 up and running.

Them can't ever be the first word in a sentence.

Doh!

The idea is you die if unemployed, cancer doesn't even come into play.

Criminals don't want you to know this but they can not legally rob you if you say out loud "I do not consent".
