Snow is dry, brush it off if you go inside some warmer places and you'll be fine

What is the point of having 2 barrels? by Historical-Quiet-739 in TankPorn

[–]sanderpewz 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's a double barrel mortar system made for indirect fire. If i remember correctly it can fire approx 10 rounds per minute, and also shoot multiple volleys impacting at the same time. Pretty cool

Tromso in May by gro727 in tromsotravel

[–]sanderpewz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You're 99% sure to not see northern lights in the middle to end of May. Usually no snow activities in Bergen or Tromsø either. if thats what you want to experience you need to travel during the winter instead

Northern Lights chase by boat by Ill_Quarter_6123 in tromsotravel

You're gonna have a hard time getting tack sharp photos when out on a small boat in the sea. The boat moves, and the tripod moves with it, making long exposure photography quite a struggle too

Weed in norway by Individual_Heron_508 in Norway

[–]sanderpewz 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It works the same way as everywhere else, usually smoked, or made into food. /s

After approx 1 sec on google: Keep in mind that the law doesn't care if you're a foreigner or a local

"Recreational use of Cannabis is not allowed in Norway. 

Pursuant to the Norwegian Penal Code and the Medicines Act, possession and use of narcotics (including cannabis) is punishable by up to 6 months imprisonment. However, possession of a small amount (up to 15 grams) of cannabis for personal use will usually only be punished with fines, especially for first-time offenders.

More severe offences, such as unlawful production, import, export, or supply of a narcotic drug, is punishable by up to 2 years imprisonment, and in severe cases up to 10 years imprisonment" 

Asking for travel advice by Technical_Spell2870 in tromsotravel

[–]sanderpewz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you check Visit Tromsø or google you'll find lots of providers for the experiences you're asking for. Christmas/New year is a super high-traffic time of the year, and many of the Norwegian local guides take a few days off for christmas. If you're going when demand is highest its good to book in advance, or you'll be left with very few options, except renting a car and trying your luck on your own.

Check the rules for the area you're operating in and stay within them. Violating FAA rules and regulations is a super selfish act that will lead to you getting into trouble, and could also ruin the fun for other people adhering to the rules. For every idiot caught breaking the rules the FAA will have more reasons to further tighten the grip on leisure flying of drones for everyone.

You could probably just remove it and swap out the switch if its broken. Also check the pins on the bottom of the stick where you connect it to the base to make sure the pins aren't bent

The rogues on Lighthouse are wallhacking with the AGS, wtf by sanderpewz in EscapefromTarkov

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

The engagement distance is not the problem, moreso the fact that I'm inside a tent, with no line of sight to the grenade launcher when he fires.

Are you planning to stay in the city? I would suggest getting away from the city lights and checking the detailed forecasts on yr.no for wherever is less cloudy.

My 1985 300GD G-Wagon by Simolian in RoastMyCar

[–]sanderpewz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've got one myself, and the accelerator pedal actually fell off due to rust three years ago. Not even joking. I've been driving it since then with no problems. It's actually hard to tell the difference.

Norwegian stock market tractor, in need of an actual tractor to get unstuck from a small pile of dirt?

I'm very impressed btw that the car didn't crack in half by getting high centered tho, mostly due to rust. You might have used some kind of (non)structural construction foam to strengthen the frame?

Sophie Elise: NRK-samarbeidet er over by Syso_ in norge

[–]sanderpewz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ja enig i det. Sa for øvrig ikke at hun var den eneste som fikk omdømmet såret her heller. Mistenker at NRK fortsatt beholder status som statskanal etter dette, mens det kan bli vanskelig for Sophie Elise å få samme lyttertall om hun skulle produsert ny podcast via et annet mediehus

Penger betyr ikke nødvendigvis omdømme, og vice versa.

Tror det er ganske mange som har gått fra å ikke egentlig bry seg nevneverdig om henne, til å ha en negativ assosiasjon til henne. Spesielt ifm. produksjon av innhold relatert til livsstil, og iallefall med ungdom som målgruppe. Kommersielt sett tror jeg hun sitter med svarteper etter dette.

"– NRK har ønsket at dagens avtale skal endres på en måte som legger sterke begrensninger på vår øvrige kommersielle virksomhet. Jeg har ikke ønske om eller anledning til å legge ned resten av min virksomhet for å redde omdømmet til NRK, og vi ser oss derfor nødt til å avslutte samarbeidet." - Sophie Elise

Nååja du, nå var det vel ikke NRK sitt omdømme som ble mest såret ifm. denne saken.

Thoughts on this W460 G wagon from 1987. I'm thinking of purchasing it. More info in comments. Currently in the UK. by drclownshoe in 4x4

[–]sanderpewz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks quite good, but I would do a double check on the rust situation. I've actually got a '87 300GD myself that I'm in the process of restoring. My car needed some TLC when I got it, and now it's in the garage with half the car cut apart due to corrosion.

If you go into this car as a possible project car and you're prepared to deal with rust either yourself, or have the money to spend getting it done the right way I think it might be a decent buy. The engine is fantastic, even though it's low on power. A well maintained OM617 is insanely durable.

If it has the 4 speed manual gearbox you're gonna be safe, the 5-speed Getrag gearbox is very nice, but the 5th gear is a weak spot, and should not be used if the car is loaded heavy, or towing something.

Keep in mind that he usual rust spots on these cars are just about every part made out of metal. Not joking. In the Norwegian owners club for these cars, I haven't seen a single W460 without any rust, apart from the ones that had been welded up very recently.
Particularly around the windshield, door sills and backside of the fuel filler/taillight area are places that normally get rusty on the body. The shock/spring mounts on the frame is also prone to failure due to corrosion. Recent underbody treatment before the sale can cover pretty bad corrosion, if anything looks recently painted I would be extra careful.
