I'm afraid so.

@justinerickson @inscius

Why are you bringing facts into the discussion? Our prejudices are not based on facts!

And the party boat is actually between Norway and Denmark, where Denmark is in the EU and already has cheep booze domestically, so the Danes going to Norway don't actually benefit much from Tax-free booze, but for the Norwegians, the price might be 1/2 or 1/3 the regular price, so the Norsemen are having a party!

Makes sense, the bridge was completed in 1999:

Before that, there would have been more ferries.

After a little research, I found that Norway used to have school lunches, and perhaps pioneered the concept, but abandoned it after we were no longer a poor country:

"The tradition originated in the 1930s with the Oslo Breakfast. Back then, Norway was poor and this government programme aimed to provide all school children with a free meal each day. It was an unmitigated success, and later copied around the globe. "

Interesting, that is a difference between Norway and Sweden which I was not aware of.

@justinerickson @inscius

Hard to tell, but as a Norwegian growing up in the 70s, I know there was no such thing as school lunches, and if welfare recipients were too defective to feed their children, I think they would take the kids away from them, and rightfully so.

So that was an area where mainstream USA was to the left of Scandinavia, allowing defective parents to skimp on their responsibilities.

Lately I believe Norway has experimentaed with school lunches.

@inscius

The newspaper endorsements is one angle, but there is also the endorsements by prominent politicians, for example the gentleman loser from the primary who endorsed the winner.

@inscius

That was hard for me to understand when I moved to USA, why who endorsed whom would matter to any thinking being.

I guess caring about endorsements is an area where Americans are more collectivist than Scandinavians.

Anybody here who knows the modern wire nuts?

I understand the supply will click on, but can it be removed also?

@heycitizen @eriner @shaneohare

I have those connectors, which I have been told are superior to wire nuts, so if I were sufficiently German, or anal, but I repeat myself, I should snip off the one time use connectors, and use the proper ones.

Wago seems to be a known brand, and I got generic ones.

I initially thought her planned end game was to make Biden die from a heart attack while banging her.

But she was to old, she had hair down there.

Cinderella based on second edition of Brothers Grimm:

One evil sister cut her toes off to make the shoe fit, the other cut off her heel.

Then at the end, the kind bird pecked out the eyes of the evil stepsisters.

Also, let's not forget this gem from the first edition:

Norway is number one, with 80+%!

Is the constitution (2A) valid in the DC area?
