As a Norwegian I am reminded of our “reply” to the American first slogan.
We are OK with Norway fourth or even fifth, but Sweden LAST!

Aye. Also Norwegia. The sale of the new Y is the benchmark. And still the Y is number four in numbers of cars sold.
When highly profitable companies are valued less than companies like Tesla just confirms that in the stockmarket the rules are made up, and the points don’t matter
Like I believe one of your founding fathers Benjamin Franklin said: “Experience holds a dear school, but fools learn from no other”
Known I am a bit obtuse, or perhaps litteral, but I am Norwegian and have more words for snow. Think English have more words for snow. Think texture. Powder, sleet, sugary, slush, crusty, hoar, rime.
Love how that sign looks like something out of The Walking Dead
Read that Tesla pushes December in Norway for padding end of year numbers, resulting in a stagnant January. I think that concutive stagnant months is what would indicate how sick we are with Musk
I have a 2 year old who falls asleep when driving, and we have had troubles with sleeping so I drive the motorway for perhaps two hours. In Norway the only places that do drive through is BK and McD, and yeah I have been one black coffe guy. Or just fries and coke. And nuggets and fries are car friendly. Can be eaten with one hand, and makes little mess
I have a son that is the most important thing in my life. He is 2.5 now, but it took me a year to adjust to my new life, and I am shamed to admit that several episodes could have a been handled better. (No abuse, but daddy getting angry for a toddler being a toddler) It took a toll on the relationships too. Still does since tired people have shorter fuses.
Bottom line now is that he fills me with joy. Watching him learn new thing like how there ia fluff between his toes (and do dad have it too?) to how all water used for painting turns grey. How he practices being a ninja sneaking up on me (but can’t contain his excitement and giggle) The texture of food, and how spaghetti sticks.
Of course you are tired and stressed, and the random pain from unexpected movements when dressing him, or from death dives on the couch is always there. But I would not trade him for anything.
For me its Fatty Finn. A 1980 movie adaptation of an Australian cartoon strip character from the 1930s. Why it was translated and published in Norway and what made my mother buy it I don’t know. But I have seen it enough times that now over 30 years after I last saw it I can probably quote parts if it Verbatim.
I don’t think there much else. Some viking history perhaps. Over 400 years under Danish tyranny followed by 80 years by Swedish rule sort of made sure nothing happened from 1200 to 1900
The made up spelling might be the Norwegian, or me fucking up as I also speak/read English and german. Flemish boggles the mind for me since I can read it with context, but it’s incomprehensible when spoken.
Am I the only non Belgian to enjoy Belgium? Decent cities like Brügge, Ghent, Antwerpen, Leuven and Brussels. Trappist Beer, Kriek, Moules frites. Excellent comics like Spirou, Tintin and Thorgal. And as a Norwegian I can relate to a football team full of stars that don’t win shit. (Norway can never even qualify dor anything)
It shows that I have only ever been in Flandern, but guess there are stuff in Vallonia to.
I spent so many years in the army I am stil not really de-institutionalized. I made my bed every day as a student with bed spread as I didn’t want to dirty my bed clothes I’m case someone sat on the bed (small room). I still fold clothes for easy counting. I used to make my wife super angry when I complained about clutter “in the common rooms” as I always took my comic, book or whatever with me as I left the room.
Tbh I only ever got positive comments from the women I dated.
Whats going to happen is what happened last time. Trump proposes tariffs on products from [industry]. Business leaders from said [industry] bends knee, kisses ring and ass, donates cash, and tariffs never materializes.
Didn’t these strikes take out weapons and military matriell left behind by the Syrian Army? Not a supporter of Israel or their war in a any way, but that region needs less missiles.
The expansion on Golan is again a Nethanayu atrocity
Rest of the world: WTF! Hell no!
Australia: Awww, that’s just a small browniewompy. They only attack mindlessly anything in immediate vicinity. That’s harmless, they only melt your blood veins unless you get antidote within 2.5 seconds.
