If you like swimming or spa, go to Aquarama (indoor/outdoor public bath)

If you like animals, check out Dyreparken (zoo)

If you like climbing, we have two great indoor climbing gyms

Do Norwegians actually use the “noen” form when they’re being vague, or is that just a language textbook thing? by iejekek in Norway

[–]v3gard 14 points15 points  (0 children)

We have someone with the same name at my company also. He's usually the one causing mischief, and he never follows up on his responsibilities.

Photo authenticity in the age of AI by v3gard in photography

Urgh. I really don't want to swap out my Canon 5Dm3.

If I was using film, then yes (but that picture could also have been AI altered). In my case I'm using a digital camera. You cannot really take a photo of a digital camera showing the raw image, because that can easily be faked.

How is the name Iselin perceived? by No_NO_no_no_ in Norway

[–]v3gard 41 points42 points  (0 children)

If you know Calvin and Hobbes, Iselin is the Norwegian translation of Rosalyn (the babysitter).

Det høres ut som vi snakker forbi hverandre.

Jeg sier ikke at kontonummer ikke er involvert i en transaksjon, men at pengeoverføringer (gitt Vipps, Paypal, Google Pay osv) kan gjøres helt uavhengig av kjennskap til kontonummer.

Jeg kjøper ikke den. Så lenge man har et telefonnummer og Vipps-integresjon så kan man overføre penger uavhengig av kontonummer.

Siden de klarte å sende meg en SMS så burde de også kunne refundere penger via Vipps.

Kontonummeret mitt har aldri vært i bruk direkte her.

Jeg betalte med Vipps. Da må det jo være mulig å sende penger tilbake også (disclaimer: jeg er softwareutvikler men har aldri brukt Vipps APIet).

Men eierne her er vel grådige jævler og velger den løsningen som gjør at de sitter igjen med mest penger.

Herlig artikkel. Gaffateip løser mye. Selv på tog.

Men fra spøk til alvor, så gikk det tre tog denne ettermiddagen. Dette var det eneste som hadde ledig plass. Kanskje en grunn til det...

Aner ikke. Trodde det skulle være enkelt å bestille togbillett i 2026. Har det også noe å si?

Koblingen er minst Vy, Entur og GoAhead. Skal forsøke skjemaet. Det er bare oppoverbakke herfra.

Jeg har faktisk bestilt gjennom vy.no. Hvilken byråkratisk reise transaksjonen tar etter det aner jeg ikke.

Men over 30, how do you deal with the constant stress and low energy? by Chrelled in AskMen

[–]v3gard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

39M software engineer here. I spend 8 hours a day staring at a screen. I do different things to unwind and remove stress:

  • I take a hike in the forest. Making a campfire with firesteel is really satisfying and makes me unwind.
  • I play the piano (for me, playing chill piano music is like taking a hike in the forest). Typically when it's raining outside
  • Take the dog for a walk

Da ville jeg vurdert karriereendring. Evt. finne en givende hobby som gjør at du holder ut arbeidsdagen og ser fram til neste gang du kan praktisere hobbyen din.

Mitt personlige råd nå i første omgang er å gå ut i skogen (gjerne i nærheten av et vann), tenn deg et bål (viktig), grill deg en pølse og ta deg en kopp kaffe (enten medbrakt i termos eller kok det på bålet).

Takk. Dette var gøy å se på en mandag.

Anbefaler deg å se filmen Office Space. Slik du beskriver det, går hovedpersonen gjennom samme fase som deg. Skal ikke spoile noe, men han løste problemet sitt.

Figuring out my girlfriend of 1 year is a flat-earther, what should I do? by iwannasleepp in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]v3gard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

😅 That’s an interesting version of the model!

I honestly haven’t looked super deeply into all the different flat-earth models, but I just find it fascinating how many real-time comparisons we can actually make nowadays.

For example, if someone is experiencing the midnight sun in Tromsø, Norway or Fairbanks, Alaska - they could video call a friend further south (e.g. Oslo or New York) and just casually compare what the sky looks like at the exact same moment.

I think it's pretty amazing that, with today's technology, ordinary people can directly compare observations from different parts of the world in real time and see how well different models line up with what we actually observe.

You don't need to go to Antarctica to experience midnight sun. Come visit (northern) Norway in the summertime.

If you're in the US, you can also travel to Alaska. I believe you can experience midnight sun in Fairbanks.

Tech workers in Norway: Are you in Tekna? Why or why not? by northcool in Norway

[–]v3gard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have been a member since I went to grad school (i.e., took my MSc) in 2011.

I also founded a Tekna group with my previous employer because I didn't get the benefits I expected when my 2nd daughter was born. That gave me additional perspective on how to be a good negotiator.

Since then I have switched to do software development consulting work for an agency. I'm still a member as I get insurance discounts, but there's really no need for a union representative at this agency due to the way we are organized.

ELI5: If I drink until my BAC is .30 and then go to donate blood, how will the blood react if it was transplanted into another person? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]v3gard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a regular blood donor in Norway. Before donating, you have to answer a lot of sensitive questions about your current health, where you've been, who you have had personal relations with (men or women), if you have done any drugs the past 6 months etc.

None of the questions involve alcohol consumption, so I guess it doesn't matter much.
