Norway?

I learned recently when looking for new winter tyres for it car that there are three-ish classifications for winter tyres: unstudded, studded, Nordics.

You will end up in a ditch without studded tyres here. In the winters we’ll have a constant decimeter of ice on the pavements. The busy roads will have two tyre tracks between a 5-10 cm thick layer of ice and snow, which looks to lead to asphalt. But no, it’s the absolutely most slippery ice you will ever come across.

The city buses stopped using studded tyres a couple of years ago for environmental reasons. You almost feel shame hitting the stop button, because the driver has to slow down well before the stop and takes a good minute for it to get slide up to speed again

For reference, somewhere in Västerbotten, Sweden

75 F is not comfortable at all, 80 F is deadly, 170 - 200 is fine as long as it’s about 400% rel humidity and in a wooden room

Kind regards, a nord

That’s standard in Sweden. 60 minute unpaid lunch breaks, two paid 15 minute breaks, minimum.

I was expecting

“Encrypted DMs”

isn’t that just a longer way of saying “PM”?

This is the way. There is a GParted distro that you can boot from a USB-drive that will allow you to move the partition and expand it to take up the free space Windows left.

You should first install GParted to familiarise yourself a little with how the GUI looks. It’s relatively simple, definitely simpler than parted, but it doesn’t hurt to have a look around before doing it live.

It’s also good to note that everything you do in GParted needs to be applied before it’s actually done. You “cannot” accidentally delete a whole partition without actually hitting an apply button.

In Swedish (maybe also Norweigan and Danish too?) we have a"mil" which is 10 km, I wish this was more wide spread because it’s fairly convenient.

It could even be called a mile! We already have ton/tonne which is just an absolute nightmare of a unit, so we might as well add more confusion to “mile”.

I use IntelliJ for web development (switched from a Java based team to web based) and I don’t really notice any problems. Even with VSC and VS running simultaneously.

I don’t remember how it was in my previous team as I’ve walled of those memories and experiences for mental health.

It took me 24 years to realize it didn’t read Gisnep

You’re welcome

I’m not the one you’ve been arguing with and I’m also European 🤷‍♂️

You made a claim, you need to provide proof for it, not everyone else. That’s how burden of proof works.

>“it was all over the news!”

>can’t provide any proof

Burden of proof is on you, buddy.

I’ve found that Spotify goes “oh you listen exclusively to Scandinavian extreme metal? How about some American screamo OR the exact same stuff you’ve listened to already”, which is the polar opposite to what I want. YouTube music is just a huge mess for me.

Tidal however has reintroduced me to some great bands I had forgotten about and shown me some new ones which are Top Notch ™️

Or at Älgens Hus where they’re tame! Then you really get to appreciate how fucking gigantic those beasts are.

Engineering manager, the one responsible for a team

€70k as a developer? That’s a middled aged EM salary here in Sweden

I’ve been trying to think of an example, the only one I could think of is “assault rifle”. In Swedish, where we contract words, it would be “assaultrifle”, so it’s clear you’re not encouraging someone to beat up a rifle.

English is an inferior language because it does not combine words into one when it would make sense to do so to avoid confusion.

Change my mind.

I’m curious about this “stealing wages” idea. How have their wages been stolen?

It’s Finland you’re thinking of

(which as an aside is not a part of Scandinavia, but is a part of the Nordics)
