Rarely. I do not want to attract recruiters.

Unless it is spoilt, I try not to throw anything away. When I do, I try to recycle it (e.g. by composting). Even when I live in one of the world’s richest countries, it just feels wrong to throw away food.

Agreed. I am not a big fan of Gnome either.

Not only does it have terrible UX designed by the marketing department of Fischer Price, it treats you like a toddler as well.

Not a Norwegian, but I would hope so.

In theory, yes. In our country, our royal family has an undisclosed amount of money, get an undisclosed amount of money from the taxpayer and has a number of other sources of income as well. One of the nephews of the king has a huge real estate business built upon his family money.

Fucking parasites.

nothing else matters

Not agreed. You need something that wicks away moisture as well.

Yes it does.

Yes, analog is more tangible, if you define it in terms of user experience. For me personally, holding an actual paper book and smelling the paper is an entirely different experience than an ebook-reader (although I do love mine). The act of looking up a piece of music in your collection and playing the physical medium on a device feels more satisfying than simply looking up the digital stream.

However, ‘tangible’ is nice, but ‘intangible’ has its advantages too. I rip my CDs in order to be able to listen to them on my phone (and to have the music in my collection in case the CD breaks). Last time I bought a few CDs, I even got a download linnk for the digital files as well. Neat! Backups are way easier with digital, both on-site and off-site. Finally, the abundance of digital streams makes it easier for me to discover new artists. Digital media have their use cases too. :-)

Which America are you referring to? North, meso, or south?

In case you are referring to the United States of, they are losing allies and partners fast. They would have to fight wars on many fronts and that never ends well.

Furthermore, they are moving towards a civil war, so one of their fronts will be on their own soil.

Their arrogance and entitlement will prolong the war, but in the end, they’ll lose.

Oh yes. My first death was running naked into a herd of angry boar wielding only a club.

To be honest, I loved the swamps. The sunken crypts are too easy. I died many times in swamps, but never in a crypt. The stagbreaker and iron sledge are your friends.

Well, the two-monthly post is due any time now. Jokes aside, I should probably post some stuff myself if I want to see some content.

A more active (>1 post per three months) Valheim community. The one on Reddit is quite active and even quite friendly. I also have had some good conversations about it on Mastodon, so there is a bit of Valheim presence on the fediverse.

I think that it is a joy to cook with my cast iron pans, but there is a number of caveats that other repliers already mentioned.

One of the points that I did not read yet, is that if you have really acidic foods, your cast iron seasoning will wear out fast. For those use cases, I stick (hehe) with ceramic pans.

Nice to see that it’s being celebrated in Romania as well. Here in the Netherlands, we are a day earlier.

As for your question: I do not know whether your parents give you stuff at St. Nick’s day is a good definition of them seeing you as a child. As long as they are alive and in good mental condition, they will probably see you as their child. Even with my long, gray beard, my parents still see me as their child. In a way, I consider that wholesome.

Semi-offtopic: enjoy being a kid while you can, regardless of your age. :-)

My career found me to be honest. My university study was a dead end (AI) and I needed money. My then-girlfriend had japplied for two jobs, one entry-level programming job and another one, not programming related. She had just been hired by the other company when the programming company contacted her for a second talk. Of course she declined, but they asked whether she knew anybody with a bit of programming experience who was looking for a job. The talk went well and within days I had an actual income.

As much as I dislike them, their music has evolved. Their 80s stuff sounds different than their 90s stuff. However, after ‘Achung baby’, they have not made any interesting music whatsoever. To be honest, ‘Achtung baby’ did not stand the test of time for me either.

You are absolutely right. I meant Linkin Park. d’Oh!

Oh yes. They have certainly lost their touch.

Also Rammstein or Til Lindemann’s solo work (which is just Rammstein with less effort).

Another one is Limp Bizkit. The music has not evolved, even with the new singer.

Bring in the downvotes.
