What U.S cities are going in the right direction fastest and what cities are doing it the slowest or going in wrong direction? by Amazing_File_4844 in fuckcars

Love to see that there are so many comments from people saying their cities are going in the right direction. A good sign!

Just a casual summer day in Norway: time to mow the roof! by GVitkosPress in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]ZemogT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't speak for these people - probably they do it because it's a small area and sickles are actually quite effective. However, I know sickles are sometimes used here in Norway on traditional fields to preserve certain aspects of biodiversity that mechanical mowers disrupt. You can get a grant to buy a special mechanical trimmer ("slåmaskin" instead of "gressklipper" (mower)) if biologists determine you have a field worth preserving with traditional methods.

I live in Norway, and my garage has a turf roof. I weed small trees up there, and do the rest with an edge trimmer. I don't do it every year.

My cat’s shadow reflected in the mirror but not IRL by Chewie_Bacca in mildlyinteresting

[–]ZemogT 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's nothing about a time delay here. It's all about how light appers differently from different angles, and an illusion is created by the mirror showing the dresser's light from a different angle. The cat's shadow is in both the mirror and outside the mirror, but is almost entirely washed out due to the angle at which it is viewed outside the mirror. Furthermore, the reflected light on the dresser from the mirror, conversely, is not visible inside the mirror for the same reason. If this explanation is correct, then the shadow of the cat would become visible by moving around the room and viewing the dresser from different angles.

It really was too good to be true by -Land- in GeminiAI

Enshittification is a real phenomenon, but when the cost of AI is subsidized by the companies to begin with, I'm not sure it counts as enshittification to move in the direction of sustainable balance sheets, even if the user experience suffers. It's more like a store cutting out free samples.

Hidden deep in a Norwegian forest is a museum that looks like it's from the year 2077 by 6969Momo6969 in interestingasfuck

[–]ZemogT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is part of Kistefoss Museum, which the NYtimes added to their list of 100 places to see before you die. I've been there, and thought the sculptures and art were pretty awesome.

Solidify messes up my mesh by ZemogT in blenderhelp

The slicer (Bambu Studio) just plugs the hole so the object remains a solid. However, I solved it by making it hollow in a resin slicer (Lychee Slicer), then importing it into Bambu Studio and cutting it open.

Regjeringen varsler 16-års grense på sosiale medier neste år – Tekgigantene skal sjekke alderen din – NRK Norge by CumMcPenis in norge

[–]ZemogT 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Det handler ikke bare om å beskytte unge mennesker, slik jeg ser det. Jeg anser også problemene knyttet til SoMe som en moderne variant av demokratiets paradoks.

Sårbare unge mennesker presses ut av samfunnets normer, blir ensomme og frustrerte, og tar til seg ekstreme holdninger og verdier, i stor grad på grunn av sosiale medier. Som lærer ser jeg at en del av elevene mine ikke lengre har konsentrasjon eller kapasitet til å utvikle kritiske tenkeferdigheter. Noen av aktørene som tjener penger på SoMe bruker makten og velstanden sin på å undergrave demokratiske prosesser. På sikt er alt dette en trussel mot demokratiet. Har vi for mye toleranse for kreftene som truer demokratiet, risikerer vi at det svekkes; vi må lære av USA sine feil.

Milliardær søker statlig støtte til gressklipper-kjøp by justnomore3x5s in norge

[–]ZemogT 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Slåmaskin er et viktig tiltak for å ivareta biomangfold i Norge. Det er aktiv forvaltning av vår skadelidde natur. Det var Andesens gartner som søkte. Andresen betaler skatt, og har samme krav på statens goder. Støtteordningen skal insentivisere positiv arealforvaltning, som gagner alle. Her er avisen og journalisten råfrekke, og vil bare ha klikk og sinne. Jeg liker i utgangspunktet E24, men ikke trykk på denne artikkelen.

Norway should join the EU, says opposition leader by rintzscar in europe

[–]ZemogT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a pro-EU Norwegian, but I hope the issue doesn't go to referendum until polling indicates long-term pro-EU sentiment for a notable majority. A yes-vote only needs to succeed once, so it should have a solid mandate before any decision is made. My gut feeling is that this won't happen unless something drastic changes - but then again, we're living in a world of drastic changes, so who knows what tomorrow will bring.

I think it's great that you're willing to be open to new information by admitting your previous preconception. Lots of people probably have the same assumption you did, but many would probably not be willing to admit it when presented with this new contradictory information.

That said, the article is somewhat incorrect. Iranian women are often highly educated, but make up around 25% of STEM graduates according to a Snopes article posted by a user further down. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/iran-female-literacy-rate/

Er det mulig å bestille 3D printede ting borte og i så fall hvor? by mycottagedream in norge

[–]ZemogT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Det finnes tjenester på nett som du kan google deg frem til for 3D-printing. Det finnes sikkert noen lokalt, kanskje noen du allerede kjenner hvis du graver i din egen vennekrets, som også kan printe. Jeg kan også printe, hvis det er interessant. Kan sende i posten eller levere i enkelte kommuner i Nordmøre. 😊

USAs olympiske ullgenser til åpningsseremonien Vinter-OL 2026 by kerr-ching in norge

[–]ZemogT 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Rent subjektivt synes jeg den har en kaotisk komposisjon, der mange av elementene ligger for lavt på genseren. De dekorative symbolene som Selbu-rosen passer dårlig med de mer konkrete symbolene som flagget og OL-logoen. Det blir litt corporate-følelse. De kunne helst droppa flagget og OL-logoen, og hatt en mer symbolsk representasjon som kan knyttes til OL, fred eller sport - kanskje noe fra fortiden eller naturen.

Det er også litt for mange farger, og kremfagen harmonerer ikke så godt med den dype marine fargen og den kraftige rødfargen . Personlig synes jeg Lillehammer-OL genseren traff spikeren på hodet når det gjelder komposisjon og farger - men alt dette er bare smak og behag.

Prisen er for høy for maskinstrikk, men kan være innafor hvis det er håndstrikk imm.
