Norway covers it. We regularly see news about foreign tourists who either take stupid risks and have to be airlifted down, or tourists who book a night at one of the mountain cabins and then trigger a whole red cross search party with two helicopters when they don’t show up. So to those who consider mountaineering in Norway: be responsible, plan ahead, make sure you can contact someone if you change plans midway. It’s public money going towards your search & rescue.
It’s impressive, but also sounds pretty awful. A ten-hour stretch is more than enough.
Mmm, fish & chips with a cheeky pickle on the side. Some curry sauce, bit of malt vinegar and salt on the chips. Oh, now you’re making me hungry.
Brilliant use of the panels and speech bubbles. Poignant quote.
Friday is the typical taco day in Norway. If you’re in the northern US or Canada, I’m pretty sure you have valid reason to adopt this proud tradition from the old country.
But he did so gloriously.
Short for “Japanese sandals”, the term used for flip-flops in New Zealand. Aussies call them thongs, but you know how Aussies are.
Kiwis too, on the south island while wearing jandals in June.
I don’t care even the slightest about online troll rage over any given subject, including YouTubers desperately trying to squeeze ragebait out of any current event to drive up their numbers. What bothered me about Rings of Power was its shoddy writing, weird mechanisms to force the plot forward and the utter contempt for the original lore written by Tolkien (not a surprise, since many of the script writers openly stated they disliked Tolkien). I also found Galadriel to be a very difficult main character to sympathise with - she was just plain annoying.
Not many new shows that I dislike come to mind at present, since I don’t normally waste my time watching bad shows - Rings of Power was because a significant other wanted to see it (she was not very impressed either).
However, I do remember the awful writing in the last season of Dexter ruining the show. I also remember awful writing in the last part of Game of Thrones ruining it, though luckily that’s currently redeeming itself pretty well in House of Dragons. Stranger Things would have managed great with just the first two seasons. The later seasons had some good stuff to offer, but were kind of a rollercoaster in the quality of writing, and a lot of the nostalgia felt very forced. The Boroughs was nice, as a light-hearted, good old “seniors out on adventures” type thing. Fallout is still good. Silo was good, though I hope they’re not doing the eternal mystery baiting without ever resolving anything. Looking forward to the next season of For All Mankind, and recently rewatched Das Boot, which was even better as a miniseries.
Ah yes, because I dislike the show you so vigorously defend, it must be because I’m a bigoted racist. Dude, that show had plenty of problems, and black people weren’t one of them.
Suffered my way through season 1 up until the absolutely ridiculous conclusion. Season 2 flew past, and it didn’t seem that anyone in the world noticed. Season 3 is way past flogging a dead horse.
Well, this post certainly is shit…
Meanwhile, the memorial center in Oslo for the 2011 terrorist attack is displaying the fake police uniform Breivik wore while massacring his victims. They didn’t consult the survivors and bereaved beforehand. I feel that could have been handled differently.
Good summary. I also remember it didn’t sit quite right with me that they were having company employees work on their private home renovation (and a second one, and maybe a third one, if I’m not mistaken?). “Here’s a long format YouTube video of people hoping to make it big in the media/tech industry doing up their millionaire bosses’ house” … Really?
The exact thing that completely put me off returning to Mass Effect after the first run.
gives it a good pat
Yeah, that’s not going anywhere.
Again; you’re convinced that you’re entitled to murder a minor because he/she is throwing rocks at you. Glad we cleared that up. Now, would these universal rules of yours apply regardless of skin colour, gender, faith or cultural background?
If you pay pocket change for tools, you get shitty tools. If you buy cheap toys, they’ll break within a couple of days. You get what you pay for, and employment is a business transaction where I’m selling my knowledge and time. If the employer doesn’t want to pay, he’ll get the budget version of both.
