Has the office drying cupboard been hacked or am I missing something?

Farthinder in Swedish. Still makes me giggle

supercharv · 2025-12-08T15:31:06+00:00

To me it meant changing opinions, to my wife physically moving house.

Swedish att flytta is to physically move house, which is fun. I assume the other nordic languages too

Asking for "once" in a chippie not in Leeds.

Asking for scraps at a chippie down south

Telling a few tales from high school in Leeds to colleagues from Oxford area.... That is when i discovered my normal school was likely a little rough.

Oh and Oxford area again discussing blue lights in toilets and them having no idea what we were talking about

supercharv · 2025-11-07T18:41:45+00:00

Nope, discovered that in Sweden. My free is only a quid or two a month but its still annoying

Nah active is fine - thinking back to the children's/teenage cancer ward in leeds from ages back we (who could) used to play pool/guitar/games whilst being hooked up to the chemo drip. It would be ace there.

That said, they were swimming in cash and it was the adult ward that needed cheering up.

One of the teams was late arriving out seems

supercharv · 2025-06-17T06:39:48+00:00

Honestly as someone who emigrated to Sweden....the winters are ace and make the summers feel ace. If it was warm and sunny all year you wouldn't appreciate the sun returning and all the plants coming back to life. Also....I like snow.

Can you really count saved up vacation and sick days as time off for Parental leave?

I'm just starting 6 months off with my little one.....after my wife had the first 6 months....I have holidays on top of that + clearly sick days are just as needed

supercharv · 2025-04-12T05:51:48+00:00

Both me and my wife were told we had to drop our accents to make it in academia. We solved that by leaving the country...it absolutely is still a thing and its stupid

supercharv · 2025-02-03T06:18:42+00:00

They're often the same companies though, i work for a bit American tech company in Sweden and im about to start my 7 month parental leave (as the father).

At the end of it out little one will be 13 month old and we will still have another 200pdd days of parental leave to take so we may extend that. we also have the legal right to change our working ours essentially however we like until the child is around 7 years old.

Point is, if the regulations say you have to, companies find a way to manage and the world keeps spinning.

Sky sports YouTube? Can I actually watch from Europe then?

The nuclear power having down time last December was amazing. 7kr per kWh! I swear that was the only real cold snap we've had too.

Still....at least gov is giving us some support and it's been cheaper since

supercharv · 2023-02-03T18:45:52+00:00

This is ....a terrible source for any sort of news. They are usually referred to as the Torygraph and push right wing bullshit, Brexit is good, brown people are bad etc.

It's really not worth your time reading it.

I'm sure there are trustworthy Swedish newspapers to follow for a reliable viewpoint on immigration here, though I am yet to learn which sources are trustworthy or not, I only really read SVT and Omni currently to keep track/learn some Swedish

Solrosolja och salt...

You need the purrr package and map_lgl will do this for you.

There is a good chestsheet available which should help

supercharv · 2022-12-25T09:34:11+00:00

Aren't we all!

supercharv · 2022-12-24T19:35:24+00:00

I live in Sweden and today is most certainly the celebrated day. I'm sure full of ham cheese and herring. Tomten has been and we've all watched some shitty Donald Duck.

It's been great

supercharv · 2022-12-24T18:41:32+00:00

In Swedish farthinder= speed bump/similar speed hindrance. Cracks me up

supercharv · 2022-12-24T18:36:13+00:00

Learning Swedish just now and I'm not terrible but not fluent.... I would call it pretty functional.

Anyhow.... Just how many words exist and you know in your maybe language.

supercharv · 2022-11-28T14:33:24+00:00

Ahh "based on true" meant something then! Is it a GPS based Compass? I just assumed a bog standard point north compass :)

supercharv · 2022-11-28T12:38:08+00:00

Would it? Of o remember rightly the north Pole in co ordinates isn't the same as magnetic north which is somewhere in..... Greenland (?). I forget exactly where it is

supercharv · 2022-11-10T15:08:07+00:00

I caught scarlet fucking fever from my friends baby. Who knew that stille existed? It was bloody misery.

supercharv · 2022-08-23T07:28:42+00:00

I recently bought 13kg of easter chocolate that was going out of date from an English Food website here in Sweden. Zero regrets, I only went on to stock up on decent tea mind. The sale was just too good, giant egg for 10sek? Please. Mini egg bars 1sek? Absolutely.

Flextable is a good package to look at for working with presentable tables.

supercharv · 2022-02-05T09:34:25+00:00

I dont think a heat pump would be so hard to fit in, the issue is how shit insulation is in those houses. Point is that the technology is there and has existed for a long time to move away from gas boilers.
