I saw a comment in a car thread in a general interest community that claimed that if you couldn’t drive with a manual gearbox, you shouldn’t be issued a license.

I am a Swede and this was on a Swedish forum.

Most people here knows how to drive manually, I don’t, and I drive far better than plenty of manual drivers.

It is far worse to not use sand, then the wheels will lock up and slide for longer, developing flat spots which will destroy the rails they run on

I have never really pirated games myself, I was always far too worried about malware to do it.

Though, when dad was traveling in Asia back in the early 2000s he used to come back home with a shitload of games/software which most had a folder called crack in the root of the CD…

Yeah, I hadn’t heard any buskers on the Stockholm metro for years until a few weeks ago when a guy I had seen earlier busking, came onboard again with his weird wooden box with metal strings that is played with two hooked sticks and started playing.

Check both, if the game is available on both, then I will get it on Gog.

If not, Steam it is!

I have a few games I enjoy so much that I have bought them several times, including on both Steam and Gog.

An example, back in 2004/2005 I bought Unreal Tournament 2004 on CDs, then when I found it on Steam a few years later, I bought it there as well as I wanted a modern installer, finally I found it on Gog without DRM yet another few years later and bought it there as well.

I love that game and wanted the best installer for it, especially without DRM.

Fun fact, Unreal Tournament 2004 has a native Linux version on the retail disks, you will find a bash install script in the root on one of the CDs

Not proper public transport, but my dad is an active member of a heritage railroad.

This railroad rund both steam and diesel trains.

When it is dry outside they will run a fire watch train after the steam train, basically a tank car with water and a petrol pump, pulled by a diesel locomotive.

But this day they didn’t run the fire watch train, and I was tagging along with dad as he drove the classic DMU trains.

We come around a corner and see smoke comming from a farmer’s field, it had caught on fire/smolder from the steam train…

We stop, obviously, bring our large water can and start working the fire, after a few min the fire department came and we could hand it over to them

One morning when I got on the Stockholm metro there was a guy, bombed out of his mind, he had tossed his jacket in the middle of the floor, and was messing about with bottle caps with water and syringes.

No one made a sound (this is normal in the Stockholm rush hour), and I reached out through the SL app chat feature to inform the security center about the situation

I told them that a poor guy on the train clearly needed help, didn’t speculate, but informed them about what I could see, told them what train it concerned and where on the train the guy was and gave a description of him.

Two stops later two security guards boarded the train and quickly lead him out, no screaming or disruption at all.

I don’t know what happened to the guy after that, but I was careful to stay neutral yet concerned for the guy’s health, and I hope he finally got the help he needed if not wanted at the time and is doing much better now.

That is different, the player is seldom refered to by name in games.

Though to keep it classic, I often use AFGNCAAP

Please reconsider.

Give it three more years, you develop very fast in your teens, and you have two years head start on that front. You seem to be rushing through a period that should be taken slow.

I would also recommend that you try and live together for a minimum of a year before making any big plans.

Remember that marriage is not only a big/lavish party, it is also a legally binding agreement, and makes splitting up way more difficult should the need arise.

Even if you are both onboard with marriage now, there is zero advantage to rushing through it, there are plenty of advantages to waiting.

Oh, I have a few:

Well There’s Your Problem

Kill James Bond

Failure To Launch

Being forced to use Whatsapp on a personal phone isn’t a privacy issue to you?

I remember the cat I grew up with, she was amazing, hated being in your lap, but liked being nearby, she would join us on walks, but when her territory ended she would stop and meow loudly at us, seriously, we could hear her a block away… She was caring, if you were crying, she would lie down next to you and purr like crazy, we had a pool when I grew up, and when we dipped our heads under the water she grew very concerned, she would pace the edge and meow.

She was also an avid hunter, catching plenty of fieldfares, mice and even the tail of a squirrel…

She lived a long life, and as we remodeled our house at the time, there was always something new to explore.

I have tried several variants of julmust, including the Nygårda aged versions, and I miss the coffee aftertaste of Zeunerts Julmust

The way I understand it, fashion icon Coco Chanel, used to say that she would look in the mirror one final time and remove one accessory before heading out.

Coco was also a Nazi intelligence agent during WWII.

So the comic works like this:

The blond girl is unsure about her accessories being too many, her friend brings up Coco Chanel making it appear as if she was going to bring up Coco’s theory of accessories, but pivots to talk about Coco’s Nazi views, this is done to show that Coco was a terrible person, and to not worry about the amount of accessories the blond girl was wearing, telling her that she looks fine.

Remember Bjäre Julmust?

That was when they gave in and competed in the actual Julmust market, failed on it’s arse.

The mainstream Julmust is and always wiöö be Apotekarnes.

The best Julmust is Zeunerts

A Glock and some ammo, got thrown out when I tried to demonstrate it, apparently I distrubed the peace…

Another Swede here.

This is all true, though I don’t have personal experience with going out to the bars.

I thought I’d add some personal details and forgotten details:

1. Personal - The Christmas baking: Every year in late november to early december, our family gathers to make almond mussels, hard cakes eaten with jam and cream, we use a recipe that is more than a century old and make the almond dough/paste from scratch.
2. National - Christmas Donald: every Christmas eve, the entire nation gathers infront of the TV, tuning into the national broadcaster to watch Donald Duck celebrating Christmas: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/From_All_of_Us_to_All_of_You
3. Personal - Decorating the tree: My family has allways had this tradition to only bring the Christmas tree inside on the night before Christmas eve as the Christmas ham is cooking, I have heard that this is common, but I don’t know if it is accurate to call it a national tradition… Anyway, we decorate with baubles, lights and other stuff like that, but absolutely no tinsel nor coloured lights, however we do put small baskets with chocolates in them hanging on the branches. An interesting thing is that we in our family has never used glass baubles, that was a rational decision by my mom, she decided on using plastic decorations to avoid us kids getting hurt if we broke one, so when we drop a bauble they just bounce a bit, snd I was really surprised when a bauble dropped and my grandparents house and didn’t bounce…
4. National - Dad going out to buy the paper on Christmas eve, classic story to hide who is playing santa, though personally I found the story told at my grandparents house to be smarter… There would be an uncle looking at his watch and exclaiming that he needed to meet up santa and watch his raindeers, perfectly logical, there was a field a block away and it made sense to have santa land there, and obviously you need someone to watch the deers! Perfectly logical!
5. National - Lye treated cod, melted butter and mustard sauce is a great Christmas meal: every Christmas plenty of Swedes put lutfisk on their Christmas table, it is cod with very little taste and the texture of jelly, eaten with potatoes, melted butter and mustard sauce, the sauce is required, and makes the dish excellent! Dad usually makes the sauce from scratch every Christmas eve just before supper.
6. National - the upside down V lights in the window: Sweden at Christmas is VERY dark, snd a tradition is to put pyramid shaped electric candle holders in the windows at first Advent and keep them up until late Jan / early Feb, this is a Christmas decoration, not a political protest as was suggested by a Frenchman my dad worked with at one time.

Seems like a weird internet mystery thing that someone forgot are best done in small chunks.

Also seems dumb to post IPs of Cloudflare and Google in a post asking people to hack them…

PR?

ME was a freak of software development, not an outright sadistic experience.
