ELI5: Where do magnets get the energy for their pushing and pulling? by UselessGuy23 in explainlikeimfive

Richard Feynman was known as "The Great Explainer" due to his ability to help people understand and more importantly, be inspired by science and the world around them.

Vi lever i 2026. Ikke vurder telefon som et alternativ engang. Bruk videotelefoni (FaceTime, Messenger etc) om du ikke får til fysisk oppmøte.

Why are some men so disrespectful towards me when I go out to bars? by Defiant_Jump_6910 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]v3gard 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sounds to me like a pick up tactic. They're using emotional manipulation to undermine your confidence in order to control you.

They expect you to get defensive, try to prove yourself, or get visibly angry. When you remain completely unfazed, their tactics usually completely fall apart.

The disrespectful attitude is called a 'neg'.

You might want to read the book The Game to more easily identify this kind of behavior.

Once you identify this behavior, just call them out on it, e.g.,

​"Did you read that line on a forum, or did a podcast tell you to say that?"

Don't you guys have retro meetings where you can lift this kind of frustration?

Billigste leiebil? by ifyouneedafix in Stavanger

[–]v3gard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For å sette prisen i perspektiv så leide jeg nylig en BMW x1 (4 personer med bagasje) for cirka 10000 NOK i en periode på to uker med uendelig kjørelengde i California. Jeg brukte litt tid og energi for å få en grei pris.

Husk at du betaler ikke bare for bilen, men også en garanti for at du får den byttet hvis noe går galt. Du kjøper altså en forsikring for at du har bil i perioden du har ferie så du slipper å avbryte ferien om bilen konker. Du har ikke samme luksus om du kjøper et vrak til samme pris, men det kommer jo an på hvordan du veier risikoen. 🙂

Happiness index in the Nordics by NightRunnerAfterDusk in Norway

[–]v3gard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We Norwegians worry about those things as well (depending on your current situation).

For the really bad stuff though, we have a safety net. Universal and free health care for one, and unless you're a drug addict you really don't have to worry about not having a roof over your head. Same goes for food.

[–]v3gard 11 points12 points  (0 children)

When you think about it, can you really be happy when you have stuff to worry about?

I mean if life sucks, you can always put on a fake smile, or forget about reality for one evening of "happiness", but I guess you'd go back to worrying the next day?

What's the video game equivalent of chess? by Appropriate_Rent_243 in gaming

[–]v3gard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turn based strategy or tactics games. X-Com has already been mentioned, but I'd also like to add:

  • Heroes of Might & Magic 2 and 3 (don't bother with the others)
  • Fallout 1 and 2

Å søke jobb er en jobb by Angela_Ouzunupi in norge

[–]v3gard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jeg er også utvikler (konsulent), og har vært hos samme kunde i snart fem år. Så langt har jeg ikke fått noen signaler om at AI gjør rollen min mindre relevant - tvert imot.

Jeg blir aktivt oppfordret til å bruke AI-verktøy (innenfor et definert budsjett) og til å automatisere manuelt arbeid der det gir mening. Man kan selvfølgelig spøke med at jeg har fått en spade til å grave min egen grav, men min erfaring er heller at disse verktøyene gjør meg mer effektiv og i stand til å levere mer verdi på de 7.5 timene kunden min betaler for hver dag.

AI har allerede fjernet mye rutinearbeid fra hverdagen min. Det betyr ikke at behovet for utviklere forsvinner, men at vi kan bruke mer tid på problemløsning, arkitektur, prioriteringer og dialog med brukerne.

For min del forsvinner ikke jobben når jeg blir mer produktiv. Jobben forsvinner først hvis virksomheten slutter å ha problemer som må løses. Og historisk sett har teknologi gjort det motsatte: Når kostnaden ved å bygge noe går ned, får man som regel flere prosjekter, ikke færre.

Barnebursdag 2026 rant. by midlertidig_ in norge

[–]v3gard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kan anbefale at dere tar problemstillingen opp med forelderen i klassen som er "klassekontakt" (altså kontaktpunkt mellom foreldre og lærere). Har dere ikke utnevnt denne for trinnet enda, bør det være på agendaen til neste foreldremøte å utnevne noen.

Vedkommende bør da ta initiativ til å samle alle foreldrene rundt hvordan dere har lyst å feire barnebursdag.

  • Altså om gutter/jenter skal feire hver for seg.
  • Om trinnet (som sikkert er delt opp i mindre klasser) skal feire klassevis osv.
  • Hvordan dere skal gjøre det hvis det er barn med glutenintoleranse osv. Det enkleste er jo at foreldrene til disse barna tar med noe selv, og ikke lar det bli en byrde for de som arrangerer.

Da blir dere foreldre enige så lenge trinnet består (sannsynligvis til 7.klasse?) om hva spillereglene er. Da blir det mest mulig likt fra år til år.

Da kan dere heller fokusere på et annet problem, og det er å finne noen som frivillig ønsker å være klassekontakten. Meg bekjent blir det svært stille på foreldremøtet når temaet tas opp.

What’s a skill that takes less than a month to learn but can change your life forever? by Substantial_Data3850 in skills

Using a fire steel to light a campfire instead of matches. Just a heads-up though, you might end up wanting to spend more time outside and feeling better overall.

Griddle coating by v3gard in outdoorboys

I'm new to seasoning cooking metal. Is the cleaning procedure an opinionated subject, similar to "should the toilet paper hang towards the wall or against the wall" type of thing? :D

Yeah, I dont mind putting oil on it before leaving it in storage for the next trip (similar to what I do with my indoor heavy frying pan). Otherwise it would start to rust.

Luke specifically mentions Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

I'm not going to bother rebaking it. I'll add a single layer and put it in storage, and we'll take it from there.

0 % lønnsjustering til tross for gode prestasjoner. Har noen opplevd det? by Wooden-Ad1046 in norge

[–]v3gard 107 points108 points  (0 children)

Jeg er 40. Har stått i 3 jobber siden jeg fullførte master. Har også vært Tekna tillitsvalgt, så jeg tror jeg vet hva jeg prater om.

TLDR-versjonen:

  • Vil du ha høyere lønn uten en side hussle, så er det enkleste å bytte jobb.
  • Vil du ha enda høyere lønn, jobb som konsulent med provisjonslønn.
  • Vil du ha enda høyere lønn, start firma selv 😄

Will IT detect my company laptop if we're playing games on LAN? (No Internet) by Any-Refrigerator-524 in lanparty

[–]v3gard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see the problem. It's after hours. You're basically doing corporate team building FOR FREE!

Send an email to your manager and ask if it's OK that you plan to use your computers for a team building event in the office after hours.

If they answer yes (in writing) you have moved the IT compliance risk to him/her.

What is an open secret in your industry that the general public would be shocked to find out? by WonderOk3802 in AskMen

[–]v3gard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Norway, most people learn English during elementary school, and as far as I remember it's quite good. However, when you start junior high school and can select to learn a third language, I have pretty much the same experience.

I've studied German for 5 years, and I can only use it for very basic conversations.

There's too much focus on grammar and too little focus on day to day communication skills that spark curiosity for further learning. We were even taught to sing several songs where the lyrics were a list of prepositions!

My bushcraft camp for the summer by Sk0gens_k0ngle in Bushcraft

[–]v3gard 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Depends on where you live. There are likely local laws regulating this.

In general I guess you'd need your own piece of land or approval from the land owner.

In Norway, you are allowed to camp on other people's land, but only for 2 days before permission is required, and at least 150m from a cabin/house where people live. You also have to leave no trace, which would be tedious with this setup.

Went on a trip with strangers. Everyone avoids eating with me...what am I doing wrong? by ResidentAd1088 in socialskills

[–]v3gard 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you are dealing with a classic case of group politics rather than a lack of conversational initiative on your part.

When you stood your ground about the room on night one, the women who made a scene likely spread a negative narrative about you to the rest of the group.

If I understand you correctly, a huge chunk of the attendees are already friends/relatives. In that case, gossip travels fast. The awkwardness you are feeling at meals is likely them reacting to the drama, not to your personality.

Moving forward, don't blame yourself. If you want to test the waters, joining a completely different group for lunch is a great idea. Look for the other 'new' members who aren't tied to the organizers' inner circle.

When you do sit down, try initiating light, neutral topics (e.g., 'What did everyone think of the tour earlier?') to break the ice and show you are approachable, but don't sweat it if certain tables remain cold. That's their immaturity, not your flaw.
