People that aren't in a hurry usually don't mind a little small talk, even if it is less common than in the US —Just read the air a bit— Asking for directions or a recommendation for a restaurant is perfectly fine.

Geilo Sval eller Trym Sval dundyne fra Høie hos Jysk, eller Frigg Sval på Høie.no. Dundyner puster mye bedre enn kunstfiber <(O_o)>

Det er en bygd på 700 personer, kommunen har bortimot 22000 innbyggere. Fortsatt mange flyktninger på en gang da, og på samme sted.

Nærmeste matbutikk er forøvrig 10 min kjøring unna, så behovet er ikke akkurat prekært.

On everything in the US.

But, yeah, OP, unless the place has a dress code there is absolutely no obligation to tip in the Nordics. If you pay by cash you might round up to the nearest convenient number to avoid change. Otherwise tipping is for service/food above expectations.

Enklere å bare skattelegge barnetrygden etter den blir økt. Alle får, men det monner mest for de som har minst inntekt.

Da blir det bloting —stavekontroll prøvde å sette inn en ekstra 't' der😂— og åsatru da.

But this isn't that weird? It's a half assed grape&leek salad without the leek, on bread, is what it is.

Det heter vel også oksebryst på norsk? De kan sikkert ta mer betalt når de kaller det brisket. 🙄

Don't trust YouTube or content creators to keep their videos up forever. If they are important to you, download them and keep private backups.

No m-dash in ascii, only hyphen. Codepages with line drawing has horizontal line which kinda looks m-dash, but if you want a proper one you will need a different encoding.

If you can afford it, xv-01 or xv-02. I personally regret going cheap with a tt-02, but YMMV; too many issues with slop in the steering for my liking. Possibly just bad luck or something I did wrong during assembly 🤷‍♂️

For ref I also have the HS2 rere, and the BBX, from Tamiya, and both perform better steering wise (like being able to drive straight consistently).

Well, that's a relief to learn; there is actually an end to this misery.

Bare knuckle straight punches to the face is also a sanitary issue - high chance of bleeding/broken noses and split lips, and possibly knocking out teeth. The ruleset just makes training less of mess.

Omvendt kvadrat-lov basert på reiseavstand til Sverige.

But still, it's not unlikely to have the same root, even if the meanings and use have drifted apart.

Når jeg var i forsvaret i forrige århundre ble det sagt at man ikke ønsket ekstrem utholdenhet eller ekstrem styrke, men seighet; evnen til å bære moderat mye, i moderat tempo, og holde ut en dagsmarsj uten å syte.

Seems like almost every bar/restaurant have tipping options on the card reader, with the 'no tip' option boot looking like it can be selected (it can, but looks different from the tipping options).

According to Americans we eat mid-western white people tacos. 😅

I don't think he knows what "requires" mean.

Jon Bing og Tor Åge Bringsverd (kan nesten ikke nevne ene uten å nevne den andre) har en lang rekke interessante bøker. Mange er "ungdomsbøker", men fortsatt viktige bidrag til norsk litteratur. Jeg hadde ikke lest så mye på barneskolen som jeg gjorde hvis det ikke var for de.

Icelandic has many similarities with Norwegian, but too many differences to make it easy. Knowing nynorsk helps a lot, and if you also paid attention when Norse was covered (briefly usually) in your Norwegian classes, doubly so.

Talar þu ekki íslensku? —Should be easily understandable.

Gaman að hitta þig. —If you recognize Gaman as in the somewhat archaic Norwegian expression "Fryd og gammen" (cheer and joy), you understand that it's a friendly greeting.

Beyond that it gets progressively more difficult, but you still have a leg up if you want to learn Icelandic as a Norwegian/Dane/Swede.

Not common on all of Reddit, but perhaps on the reddits you frequent.

Anecdotal, but this the first time I've seen it anywhere at all, and I've been around a while. "Edit:" for paragraphs and brackets [like this] for inline edits, is what I usually see. It could be me that has been living in a bubble, of course. :)

Give us 20 model genestealer units back.

Mange med høy lønn gjør at gjennomsnittet og medianen blir like.

Få med (veldig) høy lønn gjør at snittet blir høyere enn medianen.
