I started watching it yesterday, and managed 10 minutes into episode 3 before the cringe overwhelmed me, and I had to rage-quit. That show is not for me.

The tourism is quite severe during summer. It’s hard or almost impossible to find hotel rooms, and accommodation is generally expensive. Most people travel with caravans because it’s way cheaper. The roads in Lofoten are narrow and many people find it difficult to drive there. I’ve seen many accidents where tourists have gone off the road.

That aside, it is very beautiful and definitely worth a visit. If you want to find alternative beautiful places, see Vesterålen (Andøy), Senja and Tromsø which are nearby. If you want to see fjords, the south western side of Norway is quite beautful - from Bergen to Ålesund. Places like Flåm, Geiranger, Åndalsnes, Loen etc. Western Norway is generally very beautiful (but Lofoten is the most beautiful place I know).

This is Henningsvær. It’s an old fishing village that now has become a tourist destination due to its unique location. Its built on a group of islets, and was originally only reachable by boat. Its now a town filled with climbers and tourists, with lots of nice restaurants and cafés.

I’m semi-local to this area, so ask me anything about it. (I don’t live there, but I’ve been there at least a dozen times, and know the area like I know my backyard.

What? I must have been on the toilet at that exact moment.

How to say you’re from the US without saying you’re from the US. Sorry, man.

Do you see any non-european countries on the list? Why should the US be there?

Yeah, can’t argue with stupid

True, but the quote is actually from the Norwegian rally legend Petter Solberg, so technically correctly spelled.

It’s not the fart that kills, it’s the smell

Fart = speed Smell = crash (or bang)

Because these things just make more sense. You will thank me after a few generations, because habits are hard to change.

I watched Gremlins 2 when I was 13, and it scarred me for life. I did not find it funny at all, and it gave me nightmares for days. I have not seen it as an adult, and currently being 40+ years old, I probably never will.

I don’t get it.

Thanks for the info! How is your experience with using the app? Is it buggy? Does it need frequent updates?

If only jellyfin had an app on Tizen, I’d be all aboard.

Syglekole?

Norway used to count like the Germans, but switched after the introduction of the telephone. There were simply too many mistakes when telling the numbers to the operators, that a change was mandated.

Old people might still use the 2+90 variant though, but it is not very common.

My wife’s name sounds like Annette Alonso (not her real name - this one is made up) , and her new employer had standardised emails the first two letters from the first name and the first two letters from last name. You bet she was furious with [email protected], given that she was going to be working with clients. She ultimately got it changed to [email protected]
