Last year I picked a huge amount of mushrooms in the forest, dehydrated them (you can buy a dehydrator or use an oven) and ground them to a powder.
I put mushroom powder in damn near everything I cook, gives it a nice hit of umami.

Definitely skipping that update then. Thanks for the warning

"Well achtually, women's vaginas are meant to be bone dry. Every women I've slept with has been dryer than the Sahara desert."

Not in Norway lol. If you want to meet up at 11:20 you say "ti på halv tolv" meaning "ten minutes before half hour before twelve.
Yeah, it took me a while to wrap my head around it too.

This is classic greenwashing. It's the smallest possible gesture a soda company can make to show that they "care about the environment" while not making any actual change to be more eco-friendly.
Same thing with those awful paper straws. Are you really asking me to believe that a massive burger chain can neutralize their footprint by giving you a straw that turns soggy in minutes? The straws were never the real problem, but it's the smallest possible step they can take to seem eco-friendly.

Yeah probably, a surprising amount of Icelandic idioms have Danish/Norwegian counterparts

I love the Norwegian "helt Texas" or "completely Texas", which means something's totally crazy. Probably a reference to Westerns.

Icelandic is full of fun idioms:
"He's totally outside driving" = he's very incorrect about something, possibly crazy
"It's hard to grab his horns" = He's very headstrong and stubborn
"A wave rarely comes alone" = If something bad happens, usually a lot of bad things happen at once
"He hasn't peed into the salty sea" = he's young an inexperienced
"He has unclean flour in the corner of the bag" = he's untrustworthy
"I totally come from the mountains" = I'm out of the loop, unaware of recent developments

The UI of Youtube is actually not bad. What is bad is how the search function has gone to shit, constant promotion of youtube Shorts taking up half the screen, and the algorithm getting steadily worse at recommending videos.
The interface itself is pretty easy to navigate.

Yeah totally. In fact, I'll be playing a live Porcupine Tree/Steven Wilson tribute set next month so I'm thoroughly immersed in that music at the moment

Is your username a Porcupine Tree reference? They'ee one of my favorite bands!

Icelander here, yup definitely Iceland. If the mountains don't give it away then the woolen sweater and the small horse definitely do.

Yeah, it's kind of impossibie to fuck up a french press.

Which search engine do you use?
I've started to use Duckduckgo but it's a bit hit and miss.

The total annihilation of the advertising industry is on my utopian wish list.

I always read it as an Ð, which is am Icelandic letter. It kinda sounds like the "th" in "the", so I read it as "Thisney"

Excellent.

Man I bet Klingon death metal would be amazing

Norwegians: people can shop on Sundays?

Maybe a nation of 330 million people only having two political parties was a bad thing after all?
