I think I've even seen like a parody Finnish character called "Eisaapeitää" or something, as a nod to the prevalence of those old radiators :V

Oh, haha. Yea don't cover the radiator. Btw, there was this big transformer box near where I used to live as a kid and on it was in English "Warning!" and the same in Finnish but in Swedish it said "Se upp!" which means look up in English. :D Always wondered why "warning" in other languages would be "look up" in Swedish.

Well, English does have "look out", Spanish sometimes uses "ojo" as a warning, which litterally means "eye"

That's creepy as fuck.

That's the thing - with LSD or mushrooms - "getting hooked" is almost not possible, it's too exhausting, physically, mentally - but the solvents are different. They are exhausting - but at the same time weirdly addictive. A friend of mine kept it up for a while, sometimes he would emit fumes from his skin, enough to make me uncomfortable

Gross.

My house has too many cats and I still see birds and squirrels all the time. I have seen my cats eat one bird and one squirrel once and these were dead bodies they found, not things they hunted.

Noisy mating birds can be driven off with a weak BB gun.

Animal behaviorists have a new theory about cats bringing you dead stuff. It's not about "gifting" or anything like that. They exhibit similar behavior with their own kittens. It's meant to teach the importance of hunting. They never see you hunt. It's more a case of, "This is how it's done!"

Animals are more complex than we give them credit for, in particular "higher" mammals and birds. I'm gonna bet cats bring you kills for more than just one reason.
I'm not sure about my cat never seeing me hunt - after all, I leave the house, and bring back cat food on a regular basis. What would a cat make of that, other than you hunting like a boss? :D

Son, they shook cuz there ain't no such things as halfway crook

Either go with a subscription, or just use Windows Firewall.

Symantec Endpoint and Tiny Firewall.

F-secure.

Depressing, but true. Every now and then I try not to be a hopeless cynic, but... it keeps dragging me back into its murky depths

It's possible that the Google ads running on this site have tagged you as being interested in Oblivion. Youtube is owned by Google, so they would share that information pretty freely. It could come from anywhere though, Facebook scrapes your messages the same way. The only other things I can think of aside from Google ads is using Chrome while signed into your Google account or if you posted from an Android phone.

Yesterday I went to the toilet, I may have had my cell phone with me in my jeans pocket. Immediately afterwards, Youtube started giving me diarrhea commercials. :D Skynet is watching us and it's all fucked up. :D

I did one amazon order, and told my gf, this is kind of morbid, but an interesting experience - maybe this xmas, we get to contribute to someones death by exhaustion indirectly - and just in time for the holidays!

Amazon allows you to track your delivery, so you can watch their slow trek from Amazon HQ, countless deliveries, then finally to your doorstep. So enjoy!

That's my experience with ordering things online as well: "Quick and easy my goddamn ass." That's when I remember I really don't like computers very much.

I think Europe will be majority Muslim in 20 years so Alec is pretty close.

One projection says 10% within next 50 years, but... you know... muslims are like women in this regard: Let's see them *really* try to take power away from The Conglomerate White Western Man. So, everybody relax, we'll sooner be mass-nuked by Canadians, than *actually* threatened by Arabs.

It's really easy. You just fuck a lot. Then you win.

We instinctively know how to fight: with our arms/hands and legs/feet. And real fights are always clumsy and dirty. There are always more misses than hits. Have you ever watched a boxing match from start to finish, not just the highlights? It's ridiculous how ineffective even the best boxers are. And that's why we invented spears and knives and guns. To stop looking like complete buffoons on the battlefield.

Absolutely agree. Martial arts in for example athletic setting, looks like a bunch of kids flailing their hands at each others - the rest is coreography and movie trend. Matrix has, hilariously enough, some of the worst looking fighting, since every damn punch or block includes a neat little pause, so one can fully appreciate each pose. Fuckin Karate Kid has more realistic fighting than that

By now though, it's too cemented in culture, I guess. How many movie baddies just walk away from that well-deserved jaw-punch they recieved? How about having them fall and knock their head against the ground, for then to start shaking and snoring :D

As for quality, I was given a room of my own, complete privacy, and no restrictions to visitors, I had a touch screen TV, and those beds with the remote control thing. My gf told me that it easily corresponded to private-hospital levels back in her Portugal.

And yes - this shit is paid for out of the tax-payers pocket - which kind of is the entire point (especially if the super-rich allow themselves to be taxed just like the rest of us plebs)

Okay, I'm done "politicizing the moment" now :D

I'm glad you're ok dude. And I actually know Norway is wealthier than my country so I'd expect them to take good care of you. Glad you're ok now.

And this happening during the Impeachment hearings... doesn't bode well for Cheetolini.

Yeah but you see if the Kurds only helped in Normandy ...

We'll see how long the cease fire/pause will last now and what will come of it.

Indeed. I watched the Joker just a few days ago, and I can't remember the last time a movie surprised and excited me to such a degree. "Incels gonna shoot up"-my ass, they're all worried we're gonna start shooting up the rich. I'm not :] honk honk :]

I hate to admit this, but I saw it three times already. I'm going to stop now and wait til it's out on dvd, but damn, I really really love that movie.

@zegh8578 You mean what is a ship's basement called? A hold, maybe? In Norwegian you mean?

Come on community, team effort needed here to help out Zegh! :D

Yes, yes, in Norwegian :D I did come to "a hold" in English, but then "a hold" is impossible to google-translate to Nor, because "hold" means "to hold" in Norwegian. It always translates to - "to hold" "to hold a ship" "holding the ship" etc... It's very frustrating :D

I did find TWO lists of maritime terms, in Norwegian, and skimmed through both, as well as word-searched terms like "kjeller" etc, to see if something could match, but no luck

Google translate is similar, based on user input, rendering most translations to just overly informal English loan-word soups

Glad I bookmarked the actual language council's website, with their dictionary- although they're a bit lacking in offering related words, etymologies etc.

Apart from hyperpowers like the US, I always find so eery when countries let themselves get accustomed to hostile conflict to the degree of posessing a military force with a lot of recent experience - or armed and active paramilitary groups like the Grey Wolves. There's an inherent savagery to it, that most "common sense" would suggest that we have shed in our modernity, but that clearly we have not

Heh, “shed in our modernity”. We’re a flawed creation, zegh. As long as there are shaved monkeys there will be war, and profiteering, and all that happy shit that comes with violence.

Oh, for sure. These are constant reminders, and so is geopolitics in general. Not to sound all "cynic edge", but geopolitics in particular perfectly demonstrate our hard, unrelenting, uncompromising biology, we overrun our opponents according to demand, and individual suffering drown in almost trivial political maneuvers and actions that blanket entire populations.

Yeah? You might get stronger reactions by refusing to sing one for someone who does want it.

Just saying. Why the half measures boys?

Wants it... ? You're that guy, aren't you Crni?

I don't believe in Birthdays!

Somos is interesting. Somos sodot would be even cooler.

I guess we got some older terms for things that might have been more common in the past, but I'm guessing those terms exist in any community that has experienced (or still do) ailments common with lack of modern medicine

Sucks if you're into Norwegian amputee porn. Gotta type in half a novel before you can pull your pud.

Why not just 'armless' or 'legless'?
