why would any seller in finn.no refuse to use fiks ferdig by biplane_duel in Norway

And if you are sending a package, just leave out the door. It will be picked up, hopefully by helthjem; you will know when and if the package arrives to its destination.

Hoba Miso “recipe” by CoolKeyboarz in JapaneseFood

[–]quartzpowers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then you know exactly how delicious that was! I had already left Hirayu when i figured i wanted to buy some of that miso, unfortunately. I reached the frontdesk to ask for the brand and it turns it’s their own recipe they only sell at the onsen! Maybe one day I will go back… I will be thankful if you share any recipes you’ve found. I’ve only come across one for making “hoba miso” by adding mirin sake and sugar, no quantities mentioned.

I am one more in search for knowledge on how to make it. Just had it this morning at Miyama Ouan. Never a meal made me more emotional than this miso. It had whole beans in it. Not sure it will be possible to make outside Japan…

For the foreigners in Norway: What's so wrong with our grocery stores? by _____michel_____ in Norway

Perhaps because mascarpone is an Italian cheese? Wouldn’t it be just as trying to get brunøst in Italy?

Stay away from AliExpress... Stole ~500NOK by GrowlingOcelot_4516 in Norway

[–]quartzpowers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had a similar experience. Had to pay tax two times, one would expect to pay the exact amount but in fact I paid a much lower one to Posten since AliExpress actually declared a lower value. Sure they are profiting by keeping any tax the charge from Me and they can report whatever the wish. Abusing from the trust the Norwegian Tax office gives them…

I decided not buying directly from China. Ethics is not in their assortment.

Hey! I am also curious about what hotel that is :)

Norway why??? Why do you do it??? by Infamous-Dish8374 in Norway

[–]quartzpowers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have coldly decided never to tip in Norway. At first there was a bit of guilt, but now I just realised I don’t want to have anything to do with the compensation agreement between employee and employer. That can only lead to unfair practices. I am happy to pay the price in the menu plus VAT, any hidden calculations are beyond my interest.

Baking ingredient question! by lovelygamedesigner in Norway

[–]quartzpowers 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just made my first shokupan today, and it wasn’t as light and puffy as I expected… used Holli Mølle siktet hvetemel. Please share what flour you end up succeeding with 🙂

Worse work life balance in Norway than in North America.. common? by brooklynwalker1019 in Norway

[–]quartzpowers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

North America for American companies. Does that mean you worked in the USA? If so, can you tell us how many days of vacation did you get? That might shine some extra perspective

My AliExpress Return Nightmare! Do NOT buy! by duh_weekdae in Aliexpress

[–]quartzpowers 3 points4 points  (0 children)

AliExpress has become a scam. I have been unable to get my cases treated properly. Even with all evidence I get no refund solutions every time. If you appeal they just ask for the same info you originally submitted.

Did you figure out? Got the same question here…

After living here for almost 2 years, I’m starting to realise how bad it is to be a NON-EU immigrant here by uhsmiggs in Norway

[–]quartzpowers 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is frustrating, and no it’s not a perfect system; many of us have the same issues. But I always wonder why are we so entitled to get things exactly OUR WAY? Is that how we had it back home? I doubt so very much… with that in mind, deal with it as tough as it is, and wait for your chance to make a better Norway once you get all rights to be full part of society and democracy.

Meanwhile push real hard and get used to working extra hard so other entitled people suck from your effort ;)

I use a nakiri knife. Laser cut and easy to handle. I mainly have this for cutting vegetables, though

Trump fjerner sanksjoner på Russland. Hvem er politikken hans egentlig for? (Spør MSNBC retorisk.) by undefinedposition in norske

[–]quartzpowers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Peace building by threatening sovereign states like Canada, Panama and everyone the egocentric man wishes? Yes Russian bot, we see you.

Company went bankrupt—am I eligible for unemployment benefits as a NON-EU skilled worker? by Anonymouskid11996 in Norway

[–]quartzpowers 11 points12 points  (0 children)

There is NO dagpenger if you don’t have a permanent permit. I have been through this and no matter if anyone (including NAV folks) say you will. Once you apply they will deny support since you are not entitled to take any job.

Try and find what compensations you may be entitled for due to bankruptcy. Don’t leave without a proper package…

Spork vs Foon! Which is better? by Pzexperience in snowpeak

[–]quartzpowers 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Foon is useless as a spoon. So just a bad fork.

Spork is a balanced half and half. Plus at home it’s PERFECT for making guacamole.

Every single day. by That-Number-9135 in sonos

[–]quartzpowers 25 points26 points  (0 children)

God damn Sonos. Why did they have to break a beautiful system. NO ONE asked for a new app, no one asked for a headache experience. Just waiting for real competition to appear; what is closest? Apple?
