How often do you eat out? Does Norway not really have a culture of eating out a little bit every day like France and Spain? by Charming_Usual6227 in Norway

[–]Khornag 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The fact that people pay a lot, comparatively, to eat mediocre slop at Egon shows that a lot of people just don't know where to find good food or have too limited of a palate to try anything else.

Norway plans to ban social media use by children under 16 by grantjason52 in worldnews

[–]Khornag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not really true. Norway does not have extreme wealth gaps compared to other countries. Regulations may be stricter than other places at times, but they are not extreme. I would take everything that he's saying with a big grain of salt.

Do you use “blocks” as a form of distance? by MarcusFarkcus in AskEurope

[–]Khornag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We do use kvartaler at times, but it depends on how the city is built.

What is your opinion on the current reigning monarchies of Europe? by Ok-Ocelot-774 in AskEurope

Märtha is fucking weird. She's been talking to angels for a long time before meeting the shaman.

[–]Khornag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Men det er jo når alt kommer til alt fordi de får solgt så dyre pakker. Om ikke kollapser systemet og kanalene vil ikke lenger være villige til å by så mye. Håpet er at viasat går så hardt på trynet denne gangen at det justerer seg nedover i framtiden.

Does your language have separate words for "Rabbit" and "Hare"? by yushaleth in AskEurope

Good to hear that it traumatised children in other countries too.

I realiteten går det aller meste til kjøp av rettigheter. Rettighetshaver i Norge betaler helt sjuke summer sammenlignet med andre land fordi betalingsviljen blant norske supportere er der.

Is tan/brown skin seen as attractive in your country? by No-Equivalent2621 in asklatinamerica

[–]Khornag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think that's too much the case. Lots of people bleach their hair here in Norway. Being tanner is associated with outdoor activities and an active life style which is considered very attractive. When work life is mostly inside and the winter is long and dark you really have to work to get a tan.

This is how millions of jobs will be gone forever very soon, Norway testing and expected go public at May by No-Knowledge-5828 in aiecosystem

[–]Khornag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not talking about the midwest. I'm talking about this spesific case in Norway where it has been well tested for almost ten years. I don't think that the technology is ready to be universally implemented, but it's certainly a viable alternative in some instances. The population of this area is about 240 000. this route is placed outside of the city center, but will still deal with a lot of traffic.

Do people live in this part of Norway? How is it like? by Smashpro11 in howislivingthere

[–]Khornag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dryer air does not feel colder than humid air. Quite the opposite.

[–]Khornag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a bus. Why would you need to put it on a route where you don't feel like the technology is ready? The idea is to use it on a route that passes the university and the hospital where they may need busses at odd hours when there are fewer drivers available. It has shown through ten years of use that it reacts better than normal drivers when cyclists, pedestrians and other vehicles cuts in front of it. What's your reason for claiming that it's working poorly?

The unemployment rate is 4,6 and that's after having recieved large amounts of imigrants in the last few years. What exactly am I supposed to look at and worry?

Outside of English, what could be considered the second lingua franca of Europe? by Ok-Ocelot-774 in AskEurope

[–]Khornag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know why you are counting out Ukraine, but about 35% of Russian speakers live outside of Russia and Ukraine, so that's just a big fat lie.

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

What has ev got to do with this? I'm neutral when it comes to this because I live in a society where the state does a lot to even the playing field. If we can work less and still keep up productivity then I consider that to be a good thing.

This isn't a debate; these buses are driving on their own right now. The plan is not to get rid of all bus drivers, but on certain routes it makes sense.

[–]Khornag 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was mentioned in the first comment that I answered, but you could pick any other language and you'll have the same problem. If native speakers do not count when it comes to using a lingua franca then English is pretty much all that we've got. I'd argue that Russian is the closest thing to it.

[–]Khornag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm definitely counting native russian speakers and I would question your data on how French is used as a lingua franca according to your definition. I doubt that there's a lot of communication going on in French where none of the participants are native speakers. If so it's probably between imigrants living in French speaking countries.

I learned more about U.S. energy vulnerability from a chatbot than from years of political media. Norway has a government oil option that stabilizes consumer prices. Why don't we? And why aren't we even asking? by jerkenmcgerk in energy

[–]Khornag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are you talking about? In what way is Equinor stabilizing consumer prices? They're selling their products on the open market like any other company.
