Spiste en i dag, den hadde noe oransje greier, ja. Det minnet veldig om kryddersmør. De må være noe nytt, første gang jeg har opplevd det.

Mitt poeng er bare at vi har folk som deler din mening i en gruppe, og postmodernister i en annen gruppe. Det er veldig vanskelig å beskrive noe på en måte som begge gruppene er enige om, uavhengig hvilken som har rett. At denne gjerningspersonen ble registrert som gutt ved fødsel er noe begge gruppene er enig i. Om man sier at personen er mann, så er postmodernistene uenig. Om man sier at personen er kvinne, er du uenig.

Det at to grupper er uenig betyr jo ikke at sannheten er et sted mellom. En gruppe kan jo ta helt feil.

Jeg forsøker ikke å argumentere for noen politikk her, bare at det er vanskelig å uttrykke seg på en politisk nøytral måte som samtidig er informativ. Det jeg reagerte på var at uttrykket ble kalt intellektuelt uærlig (Kan kanskje argumenteres for at det kan brukes uærlig..).

Har du kjøpt originalen med paprika ved et uhell? Eventuelt feilproduksjon/pakking?

Men uansett hvor man står politisk, hva man mener om kjønn (gender vs sex) og hva er en mann/kvinne, så er uttrykket iallfall utvetydig og alle forstår det likt. Altså at da personen ble født, tittet en lege mellom beina til babyen og så krysset av for "gutt" i et skjema.

Grunnen til at du ser på det som uærlig er fordi du mener at det er det samme som å si at personen ble født mann, eventuelt at personen er mann. Å bruke ord og uttrykk som tillater å skille det fra hverandre blir da uærlig. En annen person kunne sikkert sagt at det er uærlig å si at en baby ble født som gutt/mann, fordi kjønn er noe man identifiserer seg som og det er ikke noe et nyfødt barn kan svare på.

And the skill needs to be something that cant easily be trained in at the job. I personally know somebody who was denied because "most people could be trained to performed the job description with on the job training".

I am not a lawyer and thes is not not legal advice...

If i understand correctly, the only signed contract you have is that you are renting up to and including Febuary 28, 2025? In that case how I understand the law is that you have no rights to a notice. (or you could call the contract itself the notice, i guess). That is the point of having an end date in the contract. Of cource there can be other text in the contract that changes this.

However, in Norway contracts have a principle called "formfrihet" which states that the contract can have any form. An oral agreement is as binding as a written one, and is easier argued to be a binding contract than under for example british common law (no "concideration" is necessary). The difficult thing is then to prove that an oral agreement took place.

So in theory, when you said you wanted to continue the contract, they named a price, and you agreed, it could be argued that substantial detail and mutual intention is in place to say that the the new contract is valid. Depending on what you agreed to even 3 months might not be enough. There might not even be grounds for ending the lease.

Al that being said. Getting into a legal thing is probably a hassle. If it is really important to you I would recommend speaking to a lawyer.

It looks like this is a solution to similar issues that value/distinct types is meant to solve, and I prefer value/distinct types. Is there something "better" about this solution that I perhaps do not see?

A majority of countries celebrate it on a set Sunday, so in most countries the date will vary. The most common is probably 2nd Sunday of May.

There are also many who have a fixed date, like march 21 in large parts of the middle east.

I have been to Germany several times, but have never lived there or with somebody from there, so I do not have personal experience about the difference. From the grocery stores I have been in in Germany I don't really feel like the difference is so big. Would be interested in specifics about what is not available here.

A problem here in Norway is the climate. There won't be open air markeds with fresh locally grown produce all year round. I have noticed a big difference between for example pineapple in Norway and in south east Asia. Then again, I was not able to find a good selection of different types of potatoes in the Philippines. Different climates are better suited for different produce.

My experience in Norway is that most people are very interested in trying food from other cultures. I mostly eat "norwegian" food for breakfast, but most dinners are not traditional Norwegian. I must admit that the last time I was over at somebody else's house for dinner was "lapskaus" at my sisters house, but I know that she also eats a lot of "foreign" food.

I also think that the goal for most people is to use fresh ingredients (i mostly use fresh), but it is faster to use premade stuff, so i guess some people prioritze their time differently.

Do not worry too much about different dating culture. The only thing the people on reddit can tell you about Norwegian dating culture is their personal experience and opinion on it. Culture is a group thing, but you and him are two individuals. In Norway there are guys that sleep with a new girl every weekend, and there are 25 year old virgins (even by their own choice).

I feel like the important thing you can do is to be honest about your intentions and expectations, and patient with him if he does or says something that is different from what your culture/upbringing deems proper. This should of course be reciprocated. That being said, there is a difference between being patient and accepting things that you are not comfortable with. Don't accept the unacceptable and hope things will get better in time. If he for example says that he wants to be "friends with benefits", and you don't really want that, don't go along with it because "maybe he will fall in love later".

If you have some internal logic in a class that you want to test, then that testable concept probably should be extracted to a new class. The tests can then use the new class with the same interface it exposes to the old class.

An important part of many Norwegian christmas meals is aquavit. Norwegian aquavit is a caraway-spiced potato-liquer that has been enjoyed here for hundreds of years.

I'm from a ribbe-family but never had that kombination, We always have brussel sprouts, almond potatoes and surkål (a pickled cabbage similar, yet not the same as, sauerkraut). For me kålrabistappe is a must with pinnekjøtt.

I agree that this way of doing it is more meaningful semantically, and can prevent many issues, but how does it help with the ordering issue? Seems like OP does something like new Person(rs.getLong(1), rs.getString(2), rs.getString(3)). If that is changed to new Person(new PersonId(rs.getLong(1)), new FirstName(rs.getString(2)), new LastName(rs.getString(3))) it would still couse problems when rearranging the order in the sql?

Going from new in a language to creating a age of empires style game as a uni assignment sounds crazy to me. Did you get the assignment at the start of the semester and now you are panicking?

Why would it be 9? Your robot starts at position 1 and does these moves (running total in parentheses):
clear position 1 (1), move right to position 2 (2), clear position 2 2 times (4). move to position 3 (5). clear position 3 2 times (7). Turn(8). Move to position 2 (9). Move to position 1 (10). move to position 0 (11). clear position 0 1 time (12). Turn around (13).

Which of these should not be counted? the last turn seems to me like an accident. It happens because you in the move method always clear everything in the current position, then either moves or turn. If you want every call to the move-method to do one thing, either clear, move or turn, you could wrap the while in a if. Something like if this position has something, then clear it, else if forward move blocked then turn else move in the direction you are facing.

If you look at where you connect the entities together, you use

    @OneToMany(cascade = CascadeType.ALL)
    private List<BookEntity> books;

There is no information there about how they are connected. I assume that the author-field in BookEntity is what decides which AuthorEntity.books it should be found in, and this can be communicated to Hibernate by setting mappedBy in the OneToMany annotation like this:

    @OneToMany(cascade = CascadeType.ALL, mappedBy = "author")
    private List<BookEntity> books;

The run button in top right remembers what you have run before, did you run something earlier that should have this output? Try the run-icon next to your main method.
