The Norwegian government will offer eggs, and we will only ask for the state of New York or as we like to call it: Nye Jorvik. The citizens of Nye Jorvik will enjoy all the benefits from a stabile, functioning social democracy.

I’m a dad of two, and in my country (Norway) it’s mostly common to divide the leave. With my first, I had 9 months of paternity leave, 6 months with my youngest. The two best periods of my life!

Tbf, American aviation has been a shitshow for a long time, now it’s just completely falls apart. It’s mind boggling that Boeing currently has two orbital spaceplanes in use.

there are very small apartments there as well. Just need to be tidy and clean enough for other people to stay there :)

is it really, when you can travel and stay wherever without paying a dime afterwards? This summer, me and my family are doing a car trip through Germany and France, staying at multiple houses (some with pools), without paying anything but that single fee. Also people staying at our house during that time, will water our plants and clean the house before they leave. Last year we did the same trip, but staying at AirBnBs where just a single night would cost around 100-200€. Also remember, the membership fee includes cancellation protection, damage coverage etc.

 

Homeexchange.com is a popular home-swapping site, where you only pay a yearly fee of around 200€. You can do a simultanously swap, or earn points by letting others use your home when you're away. You can then use those points to stay anywhere in the world.

Do note that Homeexchange has dual headquarters, both in the US and in France, but has a huge membership base in Europe

As opposed to AirBnB, Homeexchange is more:

  • cost-effective, you only pay the membership-fee
  • sustainable (it's not speculative like people buying property just for renting out)
  • better traveling experience, when living in residential areas instead of a touristy place.
  • It offers you a sense of community, respect and connections across borders.

Those who didn't vote, who thought their vote didn't matter, that no matter which politician gets elected to whatever office.... they're complicit.

Einig, samstundes greit å nytte høvet til å reflektere litt, Sjølv om me kjem fram til same stad

I agree it would be nice, but still the trade off would be disadvantageous for us for now. Even with the current geopolitical situation IMO, we cooperate with EU on a deep level and still have NATO.

 

Slik eg ser det, så er det ein tung byttehandel: for å få fullt medlemskap, så gjer me opp dei sjølvråderettane me har når det gjeld fisk og landbruk. Det vil, trur eg, bli kroken på døra for alt av småbruk og enkeltfiskarar, og større firma vil overta der det finst mulegheitar for profitt. Då klarer eg ikkje heilt sjå nytta, med tanke på kva med får i EØS-avtalen, berre for å få nokre få røyster i EU-parliamentet.

Det må fleire fordeler til for at eg synst at eit norsk EU-medlemskap skal vere verdt det.

What would be really cool, was if the kid didn't belong to a Tibetan buddhist family. It was just some random kid in rural Alabama. Think about it: "We have found the 15th Dalai Lama! It's a boy called Billybob Jackson"
