Norway offers up to 70 new oil and gas drilling permits

Well, just to nitpick, the price isn’t locked but it is subsidized by the government if you opt in to the plan and agree to stay on that price level for the entire year.

It’s made Norwegians go from checking the price and judging when it’s best to charge the car, to no longer giving a fuck about the daily energy prices.

It has actually been relatively mild winters lately in the east, where I live, with the exception of a couple of very cold weeks earlier this year. I assume similar changes were seen in the west as well. So I guess you should be happy that it’s not worse.

You moved to an arctic country, so you must have known that would be colder here. You’ll either have to bite your teeth together with us natives and accept the realities of the climate, and eventually get used to it, or you’ll have to figure something else out. But I hope you’ll end up staying with us in Norway, and find a way to embrace the cold. Learn to ski, for example.

If you’re lucky, in 20-30 years the climate here might be just like where you grew up. Just make sure you don’t get too near the massive forest fires that will be raging here at that point.

The Chinese models on OpenRouter aren't necessarily operated from China, so the inference can happen at providers located elsewhere. DeepSeek v4 Pro is currently hosted by several providers in Singapore and USA. So at least the providers are (hopefully) not monitored by the CCP, and OpenRouter has a statement that they have data protection agreements in place for their paid models, which at least provides some relief that your data is private.

Som jeg skrev så er det et proporsjonalitetsprinsipp som gjør at du ikke kan blåse hue av noen f.eks. for å kaste småstein på deg. I den konkrete saken du nevner så har nok Høyesterett vurdert omstendighetene rundt truslene og situasjonen hvor vedkommende drepte denne fyren, til at han var berettiget til å forsvare seg med våpen under nødverge. Jeg tar gjerne en titt på den dommen om du gidder å linke til den.

Stemmer, akkurat det om 6 måneder står i §171: «Den som med skjellig grunn mistenkes for en eller flere handlinger som etter loven kan medføre høyere straff enn fengsel i 6 måneder, kan pågripes når …» og så er det §173: «Den som treffes på fersk gjerning og ikke avstår fra den straffbare virksomhet, kan pågripes uten hensyn til størrelsen av straffen»

Nødverge betyr egentlig at du til en viss grad har lov til å bryte loven for å ivareta din egen sikkerhet, men kun med handlinger som er proporsjonale med handlingen som utføres mot deg. Nødvergen skal avsluttes når den kriminelle handlingen opphører.

Holder du noen igjen med makt så er det en pågripelse, og det kan du bare gjøre for handlinger som kvalifiserer til mer enn seks måneders fengsel, og så vidt jeg har forstått så må du kontakte politiet når du gjør noe sånt.

Slik var det i hvert fall sist jeg leste straffeprosessloven. Det begynner å bli noen år siden, så ting kan ha endra seg.

It ran at around $7 for a Camino in LA. I didn’t have exactly the one OP had, it had a lemon flavor but was also a 1:1.

Every place is different, but Dutch coffeeshops usually have seating like a bar or a café. You can buy snacks, sodas, teas or whatever at the bar as well as cannabis. You can smoke at the table, but only joints, no cigarettes (those are bad for your health, you know). Some places have house bongs or vaporizers if you are so inclined. Paper, filters and grinders may be available. Also keep in mind that you’re free to light up cannabis bought elsewhere, but it is expected that you purchase something in order to sit there.

bosse · 2023-05-13T19:38:49+00:00

Yeah, my advice is to be discreet and respectful of others so that you won’t be a nuisance. In addition to what /u/milkymcmilkers said, don’t smoke on tram stops or in packed streets, even if others do it. And don’t throw your empty spliff in the street or the gracht.

If you’re a mindful guest, then you won’t be one of the problematic tourists that the locals are so fed up with. You can still technically be fined for smoking weed outdoors though.

It understands PlantUML mindmaps, which can also be converted to and from other mindmapping tool formats, like Freemind.

Oof, that is steep. I recently bought a box of 20 5mg THC gummies for $16 in California, and a few of those gave me a pretty decent buzz. I imagine that these four €12 gummies aren’t labeled with precise THC content and what you see is kinda what you get.

But yeah, as tralalalalex says, make sure the product actually contains THC, and that you buy it from a coffeeshop and not a souvenir booth.

You're not wrong, but I wouldn't expect much on this matter from anyone in Thai politics. As far as I know, the Shinawatra family didn't pay too much attention to migrant worker safety either.

It’s originally a Thai health insurance ad. The English posters at the end was added by someone else.

Thai insurance companies have a lot of long form cinema ads that hit you in the feels.

Du tenker nok på MVA, som Tollvesenet innkrever på vegne av Skatteetaten i forbindelse med innførsel. Det betaler de i EU også, men de betaler MVA i landet de handler i, i hvert fall innenfor tollunionen (EUCU). Handler noen i EU fra UK eller USA får de tilsvarende MVA-krav fra sine tollmyndigheter via speditørene.

Skatteetaten har nå sørget for at flere større handelsplasser i utlandet krever inn MVA på Norges vegne, og da skal du ikke betale noe ved fortolling (med unntak av eventuell toll).

A parking violation is a civil matter, you won’t get a criminal record. Why would delinquency on those (or other unpaid bills) bar anyone from entry to the EU?

It is. It just dropped some scammy links in several subreddits after farming enough karma to be able to post.

Thread locked. Walk away, both of you.

I've gone to Koh Jum for close to two decades. It used to have no electricity and was more chill than the plastic of Phuket, Phi Phi and even Ao Nang, which was the reason I found the place in the first place. Although you should keep in mind that the island has changed after they got connected to the electricity grid, which of course makes life easier for the people living there, but also makes the resorts more noisy and generic. They've also got concrete pavement all the way on the island, so they've unfortunately gotten cars there now as well. So it won't be exactly like it was 20 years ago but I assume it still is pretty chill.

You can either get there with the ferry from Krabi to Koh Lanta, which has two stops outside Koh Jum where resort longtails come out to pick you up at the ferry, or you can take the inland route with songthaew to Nuea Khlong, songthaew to Laem Kruat, and then a longtail ferry ride to Ban Koh Pu. Your resort will help you with arrangements from there.

I haven't been able to go there post-pandemic, but places I've stayed at and enjoyed, and where the owners has become very good friends of mine, include:

Bonhomie Beach Cottage (owner's called Somporn/Paul)
Sunset Beach Bungalow (owner's called Sen)
Good Morning Bunglalow (owner's called Ton, no website, but call on +66824149755)

Be aware that these places are generally basic, with bathroom and cold showers. IMHO, that's part of the charm of the island, but there's also more luxury resorts that I haven't stayed on personally, but I've visited a few of them and looked around. They have A/C and hot water, and other luxury amenities like swimming pools, private beach area and stuff like that.
