Crimson Desert delayed until Q1 2026

It’s a lot more complicated and not based on pure ethanol, but on liters of the product and alcohol percentage, with tax varying from 3,64-23,68 NOK per liter. One basic beer in the shop costs from 40 and up, while it starts at just over 100 in bars.

With Norwegian eyes, you guys do not have a high alcohol tax.

You didn’t do most of the fuckery in Welsh, then the Normans from the north came, you paid the danelaw, but we settled either way, influencing the Welsh language, and the we also took Paris, but the Scandics became romance before two generations later reuniting with their people in the isles, creating what is now known as the French creole language called english*.

*The US-ians have made available a simplified version of the language for the learning impaired.

That is like the linguistic version of drive through banking. No one gains from over simplifying something to such extremes.

It just makes it simple. Like available for the special need people kind of simple.

But then again, you guys made the word “literal” mean “figuratively”, so there is some schooling potential. Some.

Kivalry?

Kivalry?

Could you explain that as if English was my fifth language? (It technically is, but as a Norwegian, Swedish, Danish and Bergen are really just dialects of Scandinavian. English is similar, with different dialects for different countries. In some English languages, CH is a K, like in christian. In others, if S is put before, it is pronounced SHH. But that might only be for English English, as my London born colleague pronounce it most of the time. But I might also be ignorant, and if so, great, I might learn something new about linguistics!

Disclaimer: I’ve had British, no, English and Australian friends and colleagues for more than two decades, and only visited the USA while driving through 17 states one time. So my connection to the English language outside SoMe and other media is primarily English.

As a Norwegian, I am fully aware that my ancestors helped created the English language by first invading the welsh isles, and then, three generations after invading the Francs, we invaded the isles again with romance speaking nobility for generations.

English is a Nordic made Francish/Welsh/Germanic creole that was made popular by the still Norwegian blooded crown.

I used to pronounce it “sk”, but in my new job, working with schedules with a Londoner, it is now “sh” for me. Undoing the US-ification of my English one word at a time.

Of course, wouldn’t want consistency or anything trivial like that.

Lurer på hva de ville oversatt damsugare til?

If we hadn’t already nuked ourselves by slaughtering the bees, and the bees suddenly took 80 % of our living space from us to expand their own, we’d be nuking them.

The fascinating part is, why aren’t the smart, massive matriarchs ordering all humans stomped on sight?

There was a story about moose some weeks ago, but it’s been a while now, sadly.

I remember in primary school that we were tasked with learning the names and capitals of all countries on the planet, continent for continent, so there is an early taught awareness of all countries, as well as a culture for backpacking, experiencing and adapting to other cultures. As a Norwegian, most news here are about here, and only major headlines from other countries are mentioned in the news, like the upcoming doctors strike in UK in the news today or the power outage in Spain a while back. Some more news from Sweden though, as it is our closest neighbour and the country we visit the most.

The Swedish Vikings created the settlement that is now Kyiv, and later spread to settle parts of what is now both Ukrainian and Russian.

With your not naive world view, Putin should give his land to Sweden, right? It is what history tells him to do.

Seems to be modeled on the Scandinavian countries BankID that is a well working solution.

What a dystopian hell hole. My condolences to everyone having something like HOA in their lives. May you all experience a civilised and free country at some point.
