  • Apple CEO Tim Cook Donating $1 Million to Trump's Inaugural Fund

    Jump

  • IG Farben, Krupp, Thyssen, Boss, Porsche and the list goes on and on and on. Fuck I suspect that even my own grandfather "had stripes" (slang for collaboration with Nazis without yourself being proclaimed nazi) and he even fought them during the invasion of Norway.

  • Apple CEO Tim Cook Donating $1 Million to Trump's Inaugural Fund

    Jump

  • None of these companies would touch Trump with a 10 foot pole in the situation wasn't so dire. But he is the next president, and he is known to respond to stuff like this. Bend knee, kiss his ass and carry a huge wad of cash. This is just the cost of doing business, and even if a vocal minority cries out most people still buy iPhones, Teslas and shop at Amazon and Wal-Mart.

  • I believe him on a factual level, but not on an emotional level.

    Jump

  • I don't think there much else. Some viking history perhaps. Over 400 years under Danish tyranny followed by 80 years by Swedish rule sort of made sure nothing happened from 1200 to 1900

  • The made up spelling might be the Norwegian, or me fucking up as I also speak/read English and german. Flemish boggles the mind for me since I can read it with context, but it's incomprehensible when spoken.

  • Am I the only non Belgian to enjoy Belgium? Decent cities like Brügge, Ghent, Antwerpen, Leuven and Brussels. Trappist Beer, Kriek, Moules frites. Excellent comics like Spirou, Tintin and Thorgal. And as a Norwegian I can relate to a football team full of stars that don't win shit. (Norway can never even qualify dor anything)

    It shows that I have only ever been in Flandern, but guess there are stuff in Vallonia to.

  • What games are you nostalgic towards but wouldn't go back and play?

    Jump

  • Unmodified unpatched original Morrowind had this strange bug where a goblin (can't remember where, but he was in a castle) would sell you 5000 gold for 5000 gold. He would reset every day so you could continue this indefinitely. Then if you killed him you could then loot him for the accumulated gold you had sold him. (Let say you had done this 365 days it would net you 1 825 000 gold)

  • Sushi rule

    Jump

  • Norway at least has food wise benefited immensely from immigration. You always har fine dining with French or Italian inspired food. But I am old enough to remember when TexMex became available in stores and how exotic it was.

  • F.B.I. Says It Found Largest Cache of Homemade Explosives in Its History at Va. Farm

    Jump

  • Not intimately familiar with US law, but an object like a pipe bomb usually falls within several "illegal categories". Like you mentioned its most likey illegal production of an explosive article (changing the physical properties of the smokeless powder by putting it in a cylinder) and it probably is an illegal weapon as it acts like a grenade. Pluss "minor" things like illegal storage of said article and raw materials.

    Jump

  • Something that explodes is not necessarily an explosive. No hard definition really excists, but an explosive usually means an energetic material that reacts exothermic and is self sustaining (carries its own oxygen). High explosives detonates (reacts very fast) so while gas and other energetic materials might explode, they are way to slow and the speed of the explosion is defined by the exchange of oxygen with the surrounding air.

  • The warning on PBS Nova is heartbreaking!

    Jump

  • In the end I only saw devils marching in with pitchforks

  • Any relations experts?

    Jump

  • No shade on those who fancy men, but I don't swing that way so it never came up :)

  • Any relations experts?

    Jump

  • I spent so many years in the army I am stil not really de-institutionalized. I made my bed every day as a student with bed spread as I didn't want to dirty my bed clothes I'm case someone sat on the bed (small room). I still fold clothes for easy counting. I used to make my wife super angry when I complained about clutter "in the common rooms" as I always took my comic, book or whatever with me as I left the room.

    Tbh I only ever got positive comments from the women I dated.

  • Steven Seagal these days

    Jump

  • I was trained with the H&K G3 with a slide stock. It's 7.62 and when I tried a 5.56 for the first time (a Swedish AK-5)I literally had to check to see if it did indeed shoot. There was no recoil from the 5.56. Never tried a M-16 apart from checking out the M-4 that the Rangers my squad was seconded to had (I was Norwegian Combat Engineer), no way that can kick to much.

  • Panicked CEOs left 'scratching their heads' as Trump ignores their warnings: WSJ

    Jump

  • Whats going to happen is what happened last time. Trump proposes tariffs on products from [industry]. Business leaders from said [industry] bends knee, kisses ring and ass, donates cash, and tariffs never materializes.

  • Israel launches dozens of airstrikes on Syria despite rebel leader's peace pledge

    Jump

  • Didn't these strikes take out weapons and military matriell left behind by the Syrian Army? Not a supporter of Israel or their war in a any way, but that region needs less missiles.

    The expansion on Golan is again a Nethanayu atrocity

  • We dumb

    Jump

  • The more I learn, the better I understand Monthy Pythons song about how sweet it is to be an idot

  • Sushi rule

    Jump

  • Food doesn't evolve in a vacuum. I love how cultures meeting also means developing music, traditions, music and food. Vietnamese is fusion of Asia and France. Viet-Cajun is vietnamese in the south of US. And then you get the marvelous vier-cajun-viet! British Indians developing the food.

    Salmon sushi is Norwegian (ish) so different sauce on sushi...bring it on

  • Deleted

    Rule the means of production

    Jump

  • How does that work? They still have to buy the power from someone, and those prices have increased. Or do they own their own power plant/turbine/whatever. Then they should sell the excess and subsidize their citizens.

  • How a significant part of public opinion sees people on bikes

    Jump

  • I am normally a pedestrian and I fucking hate bikes as they are silent, fast and either used by 45+ old men that never got to do Tour de France or people with barley enough control to chew gum ans breath at the same time.
