I use celsius. Triple digit temperatures would kill me.

But after a quick conversion, still single digit. Its pretty standard winter temperature just a little bit inland from where i live. I like it best between -15 and -5 °C (5 - 23F)

There's no directionality to my hair growth whatsoever. So no matter which way I'm shaving I'm going against the grain. I blame the 1/64 Papuan DNA.

I pay for my parents to visit me instead.

I'm white AF and this happens to me. It sucks. Of course my beard hair is the shape of black hair and the texture of hog bristles so it's not really surprising.

Stop going to the usa on holiday. Its not worth it.

Regrettably. But it's more of an unending torment situation than a life threatening situation. And they don't harass you on the beach or on the mountains, just in the forest. And let's face it, if you're doing anything with your summer other than sitting in a boat with a fishing line, you're doing it wrong.

The sea Sami had the right idea. Spend the summer fishing on the sea and spend the winter hunting in the forest. A lifestyle I intend to resurrect once I retire.

Sorry, I made the assumption you were from the other side of the moat. My partner is in the states at the moment and says that even the baby formula has HFCS in it. Scandinavian pickles with vinegar are fine, I just prefer the fermented polish ones.

Yes salt, water, and the lactobacillus from your hands.

That does happen TBF.

Northern Norway doesn't have tics, snakes, or bears. Worst thing that could happen is getting gnawed on by a lemming.

It is now. Finders keepers.

I'm not a fan of high fructose corn syrup.

Nah they're better generally.

Her:

Some random guy criticised me for drinking double espressos in a pub. Said I should drink a real drink. I offered to drink a pint of what he was drinking for every double espresso he drank and we'd see who died first. He didn't take me up on the offer.

When I first moved here as a Scot I was treated well but I was working an unskilled job and met a wide variety of people. Since transferring to academia there's a lot less of it. But the states is on the good list for Norwegians. Which is probably why the little dude thought he would be fine and all the talk of fascism must be made up.

The brine pickles are better for you and better for your teeth.

If it's Slavic Gatorade then it's brine. Although what the guy in the pic is drinking is sugar and vinegar.

Ok but where are you originally from. Because they have a very short list of good countries. And a good many of them will say things like "yeah but you're not one of those immigrants". I'm not saying everyone is like this but a large number are, especially after a few beers.

TBF, when I first heard of this I didn't realise dude was a tromsøværing. He probably isn't that way just young and dumb.
