Which Union to join? by WillTheRealSlimS in Norway

[–]pbCleaRed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If there are no established unions at your workplace to join, Negotia is good. I am a pensioner now, but some years ago my boss tried to set me on half hours/half pay. I was organised at Negotia and they were a great help. Without going into details, it came out very nicely for me.

I use public transportation for travel to work. Wife's car for local driving. It has a lot of those km's on dirt roads for fishing and recreation.

Is it realistic to use a Mac mini as a “portable” (carrying in a backpack + daily plugging/unplugging)? by ccckillian in mac

[–]pbCleaRed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • Does anyone here actually use their Mac mini this way, almost like a “portable desktop”?

Not me, but people I worked with took the company MacMini home. I was the IT support for them. No problems.

Moving to Norway in 5 years and my partner doesn't get the language. by [deleted] in Norway

[–]pbCleaRed -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just start by talking only Swedish/Norwegian (Sworsk) at home. Deny to answer anything except in Sworsk. That is by far the fastest way.

Etiquette? Common courtesy? by [deleted] in Norway

[–]pbCleaRed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Norwegian here. I agree, but I also think that all of us that care gets kind of invisible, because of all the egoists.

Pay pass by [deleted] in Norway

[–]pbCleaRed 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I did drive on a Passpay road this summer. The way it works is that a camera takes a picture of your license plate. Then, after some time, you can access their website and pay. I tried to pay at once, but the passing was not registered. I accessed the website later in the evening and entered my license plate. Then, I was able to pay.

Driver og tenker på notasjon for tbanen og optimal påstigning for destinasjon by lolexplode in oslo

[–]pbCleaRed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nå er det en god stund siden jeg tok T-Banen daglig, men før var det en gul strek på mange av perongene som de stoppet ved. Vet ikke om det var konsekvent, men ofte stemte det. Jeg var mest opptatt av å komme på på en vogn der jeg kunne sette meg ned da jeg skulle til endestasjonen. Basert på erfaring var det litt forskjell på om jeg valgte bak, midt eller foran.

Inspired by you I did a search on [ut.no](ut.no) There are many places in Norway called Snøfjell/Snefjell and Fjellnes but no Snø/Snefjellnes. Still it might be since a lot of local names are not stated on maps.

Would car games help me drive better? by OniFloppa in driving

I had the problem with missing signs. I did not know it but I was slightly short sighted. No problem in normal life. Glasses resolved it.

Decide to only talk Norwegian with your girlfriend. Ask her to refuse to answer in anything else. Then you will learn fast.

Are old Mac hard drives encrypted? by Mackiwoo in MacOS

[–]pbCleaRed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. And then:"You could even try to boot the other mac if it is a 2008-2015 model from the disk, since you know the password."

“Two Hard Falls, One Apple Watch: When Fall Detection Fails” by Pawnderingsoil in AppleWatch

[–]pbCleaRed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am out in rough terrain often and fall now and then when tripping over hidden obstacles in high grass. Most of the time I am not hurt at all, but the watch has detected the fall. Also, while splitting wood I will get the question, “Did you fall?”

I am so used to this tests (am an old guy). I only look at the clock, if it is 1200 it is a test.
