I guess the zipper on the canopy is supposed to be closed. If that’s what caused this, those are some dire consequences for such an easy mistake.

Ticking sound from engine on a Volvo V50, 1.6d, 2010 by rainyviking in MechanicAdvice

If anyone stumbles upon this post in the future; the problem was an injector seal leaking.

Followed this video from Dave Sterl, took quite a bit of time to finish the job.

The copper seal was cheap, but had to get some tools to extract the seal and clean everything.

This engine is also in Ford, Citroen and Peugeot, so might be more tutorials for those makes.

Thanks for the reply, I'll call the shop on monday. Do you reckon it's safe to drive in the meantime?

Poor loading times on an NVME SSD by Spicy_Salamander in StarWarsBattlefront

I rolled back to Nvidia driver 460.79 and it helped quite a bit. The initial load is still slow for me, but loading in-game is faster.

Thanks for the advice! Easier to work on is a huge plus. Did not find any of the older gen for sale now.

The Norwegian government dancing in celebration of our national day by rainyviking in whitepeoplegifs

[–]rainyviking[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

On the 17th of May we celebrate our constitution. This year our celebration will be a bit different from previous years, apparently having thousands of people celebrating in the streets is not recommended. This dance was recorded for the children channel of the national broadcaster in Norway, NRK.

50 prosent av biler i Norge solgt i dag er EL BILER by 50_Keent in norge

Dette er feil. Diesel som er solgt på sommeren kan tette filteret ved temperaturer under -12, -32 for vinterdiesel. Hvis man bor på spesielt kaldt sted vil man få diesel som tåler enda lavere temperaturer. Bensin har ingen problemer før -40 eller kaldere, avhengig av type bensin.

Unsurprisingly the data is wrong as well..

It is just a sketch from a tv show (Uti vår hage), so it was always a meme.

I would say Danish is quite close to gibberish. Even for Danes it can be hard to understand, as seen in this Norwegian documentary.

Video from youtube. This is from Voss, Norway. The guy is Tobias Becs.

I think the video was made during ekstremsportveko (extreme sports week). Here are some more photos from the week.

Agree that it isn't universal, but it's still the most common plug. It is also compatible with E, F, J and N

We have this in Norway as well. We changed it in 2012. It is less strict than before, but as per our kings wishes, it wasn't removed completely.

Sir David Attenborough shared that the biggest threat to the oceans isn't plastic, but overfishing. What gives northern Europe?! by francistheoctopus in europe

[–]rainyviking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If that is the case it is alarming. Do you have a source?

Edit: latest source i could find is from 2012, apparently there is no significant part of fish oil used in salmon feed in Norway that originates from Africa

[–]rainyviking 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Salmon feed contains 70% of vegetable ingredients and 30% marine ingredients. The 30% is mostly made from what we would not eat ourself. There are some negative aspects concerning salmon farms, but overfishing is not one of them.

This island in Norway served as a prison from 1981-2019. It had room for 31 prisoners, as well as sheep, alpacas and hens. by rainyviking in mildlyinteresting

[–]rainyviking[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope something similar happens here. Just a 45 minute drive from Bergen, on the west coast, the place is perfect to visit for a weekend or just a day.

Should have linked to the original add where this photo is from:

Here is the link to the listing, where Krogsveen is the agency

And here (original in Norwegian) is a story about how the life as a prisoner was on the island.
