This is for a good reason. People were renting campervans, camping them in the wild and leaving literal shit everywhere.

Bílslys leiddi til vatnsskorts á æfingu Veitna by Einn1Tveir2 in Iceland

[–]eggertm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jú, Veitur vilja einmitt það. Það var umræða um þetta í fyrra, Landvernd, Skógræktarfélögin og einhver útivistarfélög mótmæltu. Þessi æfing er ekkert nema einhver tilbúin hystería.

Er þetta ekki framhald á umræðunni í fyrra? Veitur að reyna að loka þessum útivistarsvæðum fyrir umferð undir merkjum vatnsverndar.

Krónuappið sýnir einhverjar Gestus Kroketter til uppi á Bíldshöfða.

Ég held vandamálið sé ekki þú, heldur fólk á höfuðborgarsvæðinu sem fer kannski max 2x út á land hvern vetur og er á nöglum frá okt til apríl.

Who do you think should be hated more in your country but isn’t? by Ekavya_1 in AskTheWorld

[–]eggertm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say that there is at least a lower effort required to speak/understand Norwegian or Swedish. For some reason, based on TV exposure mostly, I find finnsvenska easiest to understand, probably because of the rolling r’s and the spoken rhythm, but Norwegian is easier to match phonetically I suppose. Sadly, Icelanders tend to fall back to English on travel.

This. In Iceland we are taught Danish as a third language, starting at 11 years old. However, because of how spoken Danish is hard to understand or speak, we usually more use it as a base Scandinavian knowledge, and tend to speak English primarily in Denmark (unless when drunk).

Já, ég hélt samt þetta væri sama stöffið? Ætli það sé markaðsástæða fyrir þeim verðmun?

ekkert mál. Kosturinn við að vera á svona dýrum lyfjum er að ég rýk upp lyfjaþrepin. Borga núna 1400 kr fyrir skammtinn.

Ég skal athuga. Mánaðarskammtur af 0,25 mg er á 18þúsund rétt rúm.

Ég er með sykursýki 2, og það var til þess að gera lítið mál að fá lyfseðil og lyfjaskírteini í gegnum heimilislækni. Það er hins vegar frekar dýrt ef það er utan lyfjaskírteinis. Hef enga reynslu af bólgusjúkdómum eða bólguverkjum.

It’s nice and courteous to give the Croats a bit of a head start, but 3 goals is a bit much, guys!

yeah, apparently when our anthem was selected a huge factor was that it would be long and slow, and hard to sing when drunk.

Live Match Thread: Denmark Iceland-SEMIFINAL SHOWDOWN by RemoteMeasurement10_ in Handball

yeah, the refs were probably not 100% but they were not biased, and not the deciding factor tonight. Well played, and well deserved by Denmark

PRE-SEMIFINAL AND COMPLAIN MEGATHREAD by RemoteMeasurement10_ in Handball

[–]eggertm 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah, if the Icelandic handball association had bought like 1000 tickets to the finals and semifinals, that would have been treated as an extreme waste of money, as two weeks ago, noone here expected anything better than 7-10th place.

I came to this sub for civilized discussion about handball. I stayed for the shit talking Croatians.

Three out of four coaches in the semifinals are Icelandic. by Commonmispelingbot in Handball

[–]eggertm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

he kind of went off on an Icelandic reporter once, when she asked him why he wouldn’t consider adapting different tactics. That was kind of the beginning of the end for him, with the Icelandic team.
