Just to clarify, I am at the point where I have hand painted for years :) The next step is continue to improve brush control, and perhaps airbrush

Think it’s the trap that if you continue with the hobby, all the starter gear is useless and all the money could have been spent on better equipment.

I paint miniatures. Not as often it as much as I would like to because of dividing my time between work, two year old and chores, but I have had the hobby for the last six years. I have yet to purchase an airbrush, and I can get a perfectly decent starter set for lets say 20 USD. But I can also get a better set with high end compressor, better paint gun.for 60 USD. I know that if I keep getting better at using the airbrush I will eventually get the high end stuff, why not “save” money and get it right away.

Think they caters to tourists in Oslo juding by the location map

Nah. Think they pulled out years ago

This image needs some correction for Norway. Only SubWay, MCD and BK are prevalent. Dominos have mainly places on Oslo, and a the rest are mainly in the larger cities. Starbucks 10. Most in downtown Oslo. Think Pizza Hut pulled out of Norway years ago

Bill Bryson in “made in America” reference this I think

Kids with little experience perhaps. And morons.

Can understand that, but I feel it’s dumbed down. Better to state the increase and then say it’s relative to [some relatable fact] perhaps?

The important part is to be loyal. Same as when Elizabeth I broke with Rome the people punished for being chatolic was not charged with heresy, but treason

I don’t like to use relative numbers to illustrate the increase. 48% can be miniscule or enormous based on the emission last year.

While I don’t think the increase is miniscule it’s still an unessesary ambiguity.

Long live the Gravis Ultrasound Max!

Not sure if I am missing your joke here, but British humour can pretty vicious at times. This is perhaps one of the mildest examples I have seen

Multiplay.co.uk stopped offering servers, and Discord was all new, bright and shiny so we switched to Disc. Was sad to see it go tbh

Pocket Cast is still decent. But they increased the sub prices a lot recently. I was still on an old plan, so I don’t know what I’ll do when it expires. What bugs me more is podcast releasing exclusively on certain platforms. Congratulations, you just reinvented radio

You are very US centric. In my town there are one McD, one BK and one SubWay waay outside the downtown area. That is for a Norwegian town that has roughly 50k ppl in its “Metropolitan” area. I take the train home and besides some Sushi places (decent) and Kebab joints (awefull) I can choose BK or McD if I just walk in of the street toward the station

Demotivationals?!! I have not seen these for over 12 years. Let’s bring them back

In Norway there was one big book. Can’t remember the "catchment area. White pages where private, yellow businesses. Last one published in 2009, tho smaller one for local district was published until 2017
