  • Denmark to abolish VAT on books in effort to get more people reading

    Jump

  • Well. Problem with small nations with a distinct language (I am Norwegian, and written Norwegian and Danish is basically dialects of the same language. Personally I hate reading danish and enjoy swedish. Think I am a massive outlier) is that you never get any volume. In all the Scandinavian countries large part of the population is pretty much fluent in English (guess the reading population skew even higher) so you have the added competition of English language books as well.

  • Norway doesn't have VAT on books. Even if you buy from outside the borders in different languages there is no VAT. Can't speak for others but for me it sure make me buy more books.

  • 'Tesla shame' bypasses Norway as sales jump despite Musk's politics

    Jump

  • The reason might be because they pushed the new model Y with a zero down payment, zero interest at start loan. Norway has experienced higher inflation and interests rates than Sweden and coupled with NOK being a volatile currency experiencing a pretty severe devaluation that option seems good right now.

    And Tesla as had a high star for years in Norway being among the most mature EV markets. Tesla was early into the Norwegian market.

  • At some point kids want agency, and hair is an accessible "medium" Youths will always show "rebellion" with hairstyles and clothes.

    I will even fake outrage so not to spoil the fun

    Greetings from a Norwegian. (Some words of Norse origin, mostly those of pre Norman origin)

  • Polish photographer i seem to remember. Used these models in several pictures. Never outright erotica, but certainly having that vibe

  • It's important to learn this early.

    Jump

  • That picture must be 20-25 years old now. Rememeber that as a demotivational (old meme format, now extinct)

  • I'd download that

    Jump

  • That would work both ways.. LadyButterfly gets a warning she is about to run into Frostbeard and thinks "Hell no!" and immediately makes a hard U-turn.

    From the other side Frostbears gets a notification that he is about to run into LadyButterfly..and she never shows up.. The ping fading away. He knows then in his heart she is actively avoiding him...

  • What's the worst food you've ever eaten?

    Jump

  • This is a staple food in Norway. The Norwegian variant is made with smoked cod roe.

    Think the Swedish variant is some kind of freshwater fish? Can't imagine IKEA will deliver culinary greatness tho'

  • Age check!

    Jump

  • 19 as an army conscript. Never volunteer, never be first, but also never be last. Never let your friends or colleagues do your work tho', always lift your share. Always have your friends back, never trow blame aroud out loud, nd never trust those who are willing to stab others in the back. Lost honor and trust can never be fully regained.

  • This is because someone can't be arsed to make a dedicated Norwegian/Swedish/Danish keyboard. Norway and Denmark uses æ/ø/å. But ofc not the same key position. Sweden ä/ö/å. The same goes for several of the other keys. What they type depends on language used
