Me neither. It was just ridiculous. When it got to the point where the floor board on the Eclipse mysteriously fell out it was just too all too much, for me. How people who know and love cars ever could think that movie was great is beyond me.
I saw one of the later movies in the cinema, since my date wanted to see it. I felt it was some of the worst goo I’d ever seen, while my date thought it was “fantastic”. I remember thinking “this isn’t going to work out…”, hehe.
Harald Fairhair would probably be amazed at the lack of bloodshed during political discussions.
Apparently a foldable OLED screen is, typically expected to last at least 200.000 folds. That’s more than a 100 folds/day for 5 years. I’d take my chances on one, I think.
Hehe, probably. It’s just something I like to say, with the implication being that if the speed of light is fast, then the speed of darkness must be slow. It stands to reason, right?
I like how they both appear to have faces of pure bliss, and folding their front paws together in prayer. We must fight but let’s pray it’ll be a civil fight.
Alright, we’ll give you really cool claws, but the trade-off is that you’ll move with the speed of darkness.
Same in Norwegian, dovendyr.
Doven = lazy, or more accurately, “action less”. Dyr = animal.
How the heck do you clean your old carburators? /j
A bit off topic; a friend of mine purchased a play mat for his kid, one of those you put on the floor with a birdseye view of roads, buildings etc., from wish (yeah, expectations weren’t high to begin with). When it arrived he realized it was roughly 30 by 30 centimeters.
We went back and looked at the listing on wish, and while no dimensions were listed, the one image it had was of a kid sitting on the mat playing. That kid must’ve been less than 5 centimeters tall.
Same in Norwegian.
Looks like this one is a popular candidate for the longest official word:
Minoritetsladningsbærerdiffusjonskoeffisientmålingsapparatur.
It’s an instrument for measuring the distance between particles in crystalline materials.
True, microsoft is a wehrmacht nazi soldier where as apple is full on gestapo.
Can’t hold back spending taxpayer money when shopping for tools to keep the taxpayer down. /s
Europe has better fuel, due to generally more stringent requirements with regards to emissions.
Source: My dad, who used to work with regulations around such things.
Mhm, even when prices are at outrage levels in the US it’s probably half the price of what it typically sells for in Europe.
The quality is a little better, though (e.g. less sulfur, typically of a higher octane rating).
Tesla is in a league of its own when it comes to quality control issues.
Tesla in Norway set up a paint shop to repaint Model S cars as they arrived, since some had such a thin coat of paint you could see through to the primer.
My nephew, on picking up his new Model 3, was asked to walk around the car and highlight trim defects and panel gaps he would like them to fix/improve.
A friend of mine’s Model X had such poor welds in places it quickly developed cracks in the rear door jamb areas. Tesla called it normal and so he ended up stripping down the car and rewelded these areas himself.
There are so many stories out there, and I feel like Tesla was given a pass by the press/people because “oooh, electric, exciting, much nice, so environmentally friendly”.
He’s looking more and more like Kim Jong Un by the day…
“The bigger we are the more misery we can inflict - Musk, Trump, plz help!”
Uuuuh… being a web dev in those days… You essentially first built support for proper browsers, then it was time to make things look and work as they should (or close to it) in IE.
“Det finnes dusinvis av oss” would perhaps be a better translation, but it’s not really an expression commonly used in Norway, so it still feels a bit awkward to say.
Except where trams are involved. Those have a license to kill.
