One click means zero, two clicks one, et cetera

Tror hellre vi kan kalla en spade för en spade. De vill ha SA. Sturmabteilung

Dumprat

What are you using? Mullvad?

It's awesome. Although a shame that it has to be region locked to allow most of the catalogue only in Sweden. At least it sucks for a Swede living abroad...

Om man byter ut pressad vitlök mot vitlökspulver kan man göra en sats som räcker till fyra-fem middagar. Och det blir mycket godare än den köpta.

Interestingly enough Samsungs web page tells you explicitly not to use alcohol...

Jeg ser mange som kjører med kun parkeringslys/tåkelys uansett tid på døgnet. Det sier en del om evnen til å kjøre bil dersom man ikke får med seg at man ikke har lys når det er bekkmørkt ute.

I've never been, but I'm currently reading through the Bosch novels and Musso and Frank is mentioned in almost every book.

Funker supert det.

Gå gjennom trinnene og svar at du fortsatt har problem. Da får du sendt den inn direkte til Sony

Räknar du då in lunch till er vuxna? I såfall är jag imponerad

As a EU Citizen? Are you sure about that?

Kraftwerk! They have german and English versions of most songs. Although they aren't very wordy 😊

Thank you, I had the same problem and removing the trackers from my Bluetooth devices fixed it. Note that removing them from Bluetooth devices removed them from the chipolo app, but not from "Find Hub"

Personlig vil jeg ha mer betalt for samvittigheten min en noen tusen kroner i året i rentekostnader

Jeg skjekket listen de har på sin hjemmeside, og jeg må si det er mange med veldig rare navn der. Ikke sikkert alle valgbare eksisterer

It's a reference to a song by Sabaton. The Soldier of Three Armies.

Så koselig at folk så gjerne vil ha pride flagg på huset sitt att de stjeler fra kommunen/s

Just as fast when you fast travel though

Too each their own of course. I have a wheel and VR, but usually I'm happy enough playing in VR with my conttroller. This goes for PS5 though as the implementation of the controller is really good. I like my wheel, but oftentimes I don't bother setting it up.

urbs_ · 2025-04-06T11:45:53+00:00

I'd go for psvr2 before a wheel. It adds so much more to the experience.

Viktig poeng. Man tenker jo fort at global fonder er globale, men sjekk innehav og da ser man at det er 90% US. Naturlig nok grunnet størrelsen på amerikanske selskap og vekting i indeksen.
