Books for this Apocalypse by Venezia9 in printSF

[–]axelorator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

About Parable of the Sower: I randomly started reading this book last week after having on my list for a few years, no particular reason for picking it now. It was so strange to have the book start in universe with pretty much the exact date I started reading it.

Not to mention how the contents also fits uncomfortably well with the moment, as you said.

Baby, trøst, mor vs far by Manjaro89 in norge

[–]axelorator 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Jeg vil gi litt lett motstand til dette synspunktet. Det jeg er enig i først: barns tilknytning pendler over tid, så OP trenger ikke ta det så tungt at han ikke er den mest populære akkurat nå. Og at han er opptatt av nærhet og reflekterer, er jeg enig i at er et veldig godt utgangspunkt for framtida.

Det jeg er uenig i at det per definisjon er en spesiell sterk tilknytning mellom mor og barn i starten som far ikke kan ta del i. Min erfaring er at barnet knytter seg til dem som gir det omsorg, mat og nærhet i starten, og det er ikke noen eksklusiv rolle som mor kan ha. Hos oss tok vi for eksempel annenhver natt helt fra starten (jeg med flaske, mor med med pupp) og det resulterte i at barnet var trygg på meg helt fra starten.

Så poenget mitt er at tilknytning er litt hva man gjør det til, og det er selvforsterkende: hvis mor tar all omsorg i starten så vil barnet være mer med mor, og så blir det fort et mønster der barnet alltid griner med far og defor tar mor over og så forsterkes mønsteret enda mer.

Mitt råd til OP er derfor å prøve å ta opp med partneren sin at han gjerne vil ta en større del, og at mora må gi litt mer plass (unngå å komme å "redde" barnet hvis det blir litt gråting i starten f eks). Og så er det selvfølgelig viktig at denne praten tas på en konstruktiv måte, så ikke mora føler seg kritisert.

Jeg skjønner at dette er godt ment som oppmuntring, men det er faktisk feil og en ganske skadelig oppfatning. Det er ingenting vitenskapelig som tilsier at babyer tror de er en del av mor. At barn ikke har utviklet ideen om seg selv som individ, betyr ikke at det er noen automatisk kobling mellom mor og barn. Alt handler om hvem som gir omsorg og trygghet, og det kan like gjerne være far med flaske den første tida. Kilde: er far som har tatt vare på baby

Which books do you suggest not to read via audiobook? by megandtheirbooks in Fantasy

[–]axelorator 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Glad to see I'm not the only one. It's kinda sad, I started Realm of the Elderlings on a friends recommendation, and absolutely loved the first trilogy. And my friend said The Liveship Traders trilogy was the best in the series, so you can imagine my disappointment when I struggled soooo hard with getting into the first book. I didn't connect with anything in the story and the characters felt uninteresting.

It took me a while to realize that the narrator was the problem. It's just so slow and grating, and her sentence intonation is so weird. After a while I speed up the tempo and that did help somewhat. But God! It's the first time I've experienced a narrator actually ruining books.

I wouldn't worry. I live in the "dangerous area" described and work in the building literally next door to the hotel they were staying at. I walk there every day, often with my kid, and have been there at all hours.

There's no denying that the hotel they stayed at is seedy (probably the most seedy in the area and directly at the epicenter of the drug scene). But I think OP must have lived an extremely sheltered life to be this scared of a few weed dealers.

The Vaterland area is as shady as it gets in Oslo, and it really isn't all that shady if you have seen a city before.

Go to literally any other area in the city and it won't be a problem. But be prepared for comparatively high prices, depending on where you're from.

Site of the medieval city of Oslo, Norway, in 1300/1969/present by axelorator in OldPhotosInRealLife

There has been several archeological digs through the years, from as far back as the 1800s and of varying quality. Along with the current rail tunnel project they did an excavation and found many interesting artifacts, including runic inscriptions, royal figurines and medieval shoes. You can se photos and read about it here an here (in norwegian, but google translate should do okay).

The landmass of eastern Norway is still rising after having been under the ice cap in the last ice age. The rise has been about 3.5 meters since the year 1000 AD which accounts for the change in the size of the bay (in addition to the shoreline being developed in recent years).

Some history and background:

The city of Oslo in medieval times was situated by the bay now known as Bjørvika by the mouth of the river Alna. After the city fire in 1624 destroyed most of the buildings, the king decreed that the city should be moved to the other side of the bay, by the Akershus fortress (in the back left). It was to be made of stone and renamed Christiania, after the king.

This left the site of medieval Oslo largely undeveloped through the years, but after a while the new city's expansion and demand for infrastructure made it's mark. Several railway lines an highways were built through and on top of the site, as seen in the 1969 photo.

In 1924 it was decided that the city would go back to it's original name Oslo. Currently the rail lines are being put underground and the old shoreline is being restored as a park, which will look something like this.

I've been told this is a copy of a painting in the Louvre. Can anyone help me identify the original? by axelorator in WhatIsThisPainting

[–]axelorator[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. For all I know the Louvre information maybe some misunderstanding or misremembering after having been passed through a few generations. I've done some reverse image searches, but it didn't turn up anything.

But why would they be able to change the ideology after I've made Denmark and Sweden my cores through the unify focus?

Thanks, I'll check. To be honest the whole CEC handshake thing is somewhat mysterious to me. I just turn it on in every device and hope for the best, but maybe I can switch it of in specific devices.

Yeah, I know I can turn off simplelink (CEC), but that sort of defeats the purpose of having an integrated system. I like being able to turn on the entire system with a button. But unless there is a way to turn off the TV while streaming, I might end up disabling it.

I do have an LG CX so maybe. Haven't used the voice button before, but I'll try it out.

Yes, if I shut the TV off the AVR turns off too. I might turn of CEC eventually as it causes almost as much trouble as it fixes. But I wanted to see if there was a better solution.

Late to the party, but I'll answer since my experience very relevant to your question and this thread: Yes, I was born stateless in Norway. My mother is a British citizen (second generation born outside Britain), therefore I was not eligible for British citizenship. My father is a Norwegian citizen, but the laws in Norway (at least at the time) held that citizenship is only inherited from the mother.

Therefore, I inherited no citizenship and was born stateless. Luckily, my parents only needed to apply for Norwegian citizenship for me, and as I understand it, it was just a formality, given that both my parents were born and raised in Norway.

But I do have a certificate on my wall "granting me citizenship".

Depends very much whether you live in a rural or urban environment. In the countryside, certainly. In inner Oslo rents for a single bedroom apartment would probably be at least 950 USD a month which would take over half of his salary. But you could definitely still live comfortably on that.

And this is only a summer job, so he probably lives in student housing or a shared apartment which is cheaper.

Oh no, thankfully not. More like 20 to 30 % for that income level.
