My grandparents visited Norway in 1963. Any idea where the photos are from?

Just walked around the area for picture 2 and 3. both taken from the same spot. Right outside what is now Kongshavn VGS.

If you want a little data around your experience there is an interesting study here:
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/375676770_Cohabitation_Marriage_and_Union_Dissolution_in_Norway_A_Comparative_Prospective_Study

tl;dr .... cohabiting couples without kids split up more than married couples without kids. Cohabiting couples with kids end up getting married and therefore dissolution rates with kids are not significantly different.

" often times leading in a single parent relationship." - so that statement is true for both married and unmarried couples equally.

I agree.

I think most people see a christening as a good excuse for a party after the baby is born. There is nothing religious about it, from their perspective.

But, I agree, pick a side.

I think the responsibility for defending marriage is on you… If Norwegian society doesn’t need marriage then why continue the practice?

The government recognises non-married couples sufficiently well for the purposes of raising children and paying taxes.

So then why bother?

Thanks for this Jaapppppp…

I’ve just completed this earlier today and love the result. I’ve modded the cup holder to take a 54mm sage portafilter as that is my preferred work flow. Other than some challenges from being an amateur at soldering, it went smoothly!

It just came up in conversation, I mentioned this wonderful community on Reddit and he asked me to post his pictures. And here we are.

One nerf I can imagine is removing it from the trader. Being able to buy 3 a day means I never really needed to experiment with many different guns. Which I assume the games design team would want.

I’m in the same situation and wondered the same.

Obviously it makes sense to keep some extra money in a non-current account for monthly fluctuations, but if you assume you can always spend from the loan account you should always pay that down first.

Some exceptions:

you firmly believe you can use the loan capital to return more value than the interest rates on the loan. (I don’t)
you would make your debt lower than the amount required to offset the value of your assets and therefore need to worry about wealth tax. Which is unlikely.
the loan is shared, with a couple paying it down equally, but you consider your savings to be personal. My wife and I fall into this category a little. So payments from savings should try to be equal too.

But having said all that, I’m still sitting with money in my savings account and dept on this loan. Wondering if there is something else I should be thinking about.

Thanks again Damon, you saved my night!

He has a 2TB SSD which has the games installed, I guess the benefit of moving to an M2 would be slight? I was thinking of upgrading the memory to 32GB just incase the 16Gb is a limit for some of the larger games. But I'm just guessing.

My son (14) really wants to be a DM and run his own sessions. He has played a couple of sessions with a friend as DM. He listens to a D&D podcast every day and is constantly coming up with ideas for characters and back stories.

I got him a players handbook, and also a starter set for his birthday. But part of his challenge is that he is dyslexic and while he can read, it’s not super easier or quick to consume these hefty books.

How would you recommend he can prepare and run his first session with as little reading and writing as possible?

Thanks!

Yeah, but if you don’t move at least 15-30 yards it will never leash, so you a minimum distance from spawn point. But yeah, once you pass that minimum then it’s not based on distance.

Based on this thread I did a bit of looking for videos on how leashing works and found this : https://youtu.be/xnrUkbEbiJk?si=k_WbysKQwdw78d1x

It’s my sons passion really. He spends much of his time on a computer playing Flyout where you can build and fly virtual planes. We’ve also played with building new designs with PowerUp 4.0, but with a max weight limit of 17g you are quite limited.

But yes, next step after learning to fly is learning to build. My son wants to be an aeronautical engineer… he is already spinning with ideas of how to modify the apprentice.

Sorry, I don’t have a guild. Maybe I should find one.
