Nah, you’re not dumb, you just didn’t know!
Here’s some history for you: When the Nobel Prize was created, Norway was in a union with Sweden. Seeing as Norway didn’t have any direct diplomatic relations, they were chosen to handle the diplomatically sensitive Peace Prize while the Swedes handled the rest.
Great writer! Not so great person. He’s very well known in Norway and considered seminal in Norwegian literature despite his less than fortunate political views.
Unfortunately this isn’t a new thing. Knut Hamsun, winner of the 1920 Nobel Prize in Literature, infamously gave his medal to Joseph Goebbels in 1943.
Seize the means of computation!
Time to upgrade to Linux!
There’s no botched perspective? The top of the bottle curves slightly up towards the spout, which makes it catch the light. The smoke and water droplets look slightly sus, though.
We’ve, as most of the world, been drifting right for a few decades unfortunately. The tax I mentioned was one of the main issues in last year’s election even though it affects nearly no one. That’s a sign of a small group gaining control of public discourse, which is not great…
My country (Norway) saw a lot of rich people moving to Switzerland because of more advantageous tax rules, so we actually did implement an “exit tax”!

Depicting Proto-Indo-European speakers as cavemen is certainly a choice!
My intuition was a bit off, if seems. My point was that at a certain depth, the pressure will start wreaking havoc with your internals. But the free dive record seems to be 126 meters, so I obviously should have gone with a bigger number 😅
Not at 100 meters deep, you can’t!
Ah, if only the world looked like MAGA’s nightmares!
This doesn’t really look like a place with great infrastructure for walking, though 😅
Yes, we did. But with the current political climate I’m less and less sure that we’ll be able to handle it as well as we did with the oil.
If you want an example of an industry where we didn’t do a great job of spreading the wealth, you can look at our other major export: Salmon.
Oof
