Two jobs!?

Here in Norway, a few years back, almost every news outlet had "guides" on how to buy your first apartment/house (buying a home became an integrated part of our economy after the war).

It was in the style of "if I can do it, anyone can"-interview with someone that just recently had bought their first home. The articles started pretty tame with clever tips where the boy/girl made coffee/lunch at home and saved a miniscule amount of money. Sure. Nice tips on how to save money.

Then it usually escalated to get your parents to buy an apartment, rent it out and keep all the rent income while living for free at home. After a while, sell the apartment and buy a new one.

Pretty fucking horrifying that journalists thought: "yes, this is a good article to print. It will help people!"

They never work for me 😢

So? "Laser" and "radar" are acronyms, but we use them as words

Depends on what you mean exercise. Sprinting will tire you out, but you will quickly be ready again. Walking you can do almost forever. If you have a decent amount of fat on your body, you are basically a perpetuum mobile (sleep excluded, of course). Your footwear will go before you tire.

The goal of interstellar travel must be to reduce the ping to 0

"Det er desember den tolvte" (norwegian) sounds weird

Not how capitalism works. Sadly

The worst thing about interstellar travel: no internet

Last time I visited the doctor here, I paid 300 NOK (egenandel) and got the meds for free. When my appendix tried to kill me, I had to pay for the tram ticket ride up to the hospital and the tram home the day after. Cost me 60 NOK in total

Yeah, don't be an idiot like me. It hurts!

"Oh my god, you're going to get it later 🥰🥰🥰🥰"

"We are looking for a recent graduate with a master's degree and with 5-10 years experience minimum "

"How to buy a house: sell the house you currently own, and buy a new one."
