So riddle me this: why did Norway have a social welfare system 25 years before we found oil? We spend less per capita on medical services than the US does, and are able to provide universal coverage for that money.

Saturday night for sure.

I feel for you, and I am sorry.

I lost Argus six years ago, but this morning I met a four-footer at the bakery. The puddle of fur was ecstatic to say hello, and now there are memories.

Don't forget Abu Ghraib and how you have stayed out of the ICC.

Dont't forget medicine.

Cue Monty Python skit in 3... 2... 1...

Granted. It is getting to the "following them online" point that is the crux.

I am feeding a stupid amount of money in the direction of the likes of Desigual and cycologygear.eu. Not happy about mens fashion.

Finding creatives amongst the chinese copy-slop is impossible.

Not trying to be facetious here, but how would I go about getting hold of flesh and blood artists nowadays if I wanted to put a commission out there? I am completely blank - this is not something I, and I presume a lot of others, regularly do.

Who told you time is linear?

4) I don't wish picking your mates up in buckets on anyone.

3) You, plural, elected these people, just as you did back then, and in the McCarthy era. You need to own that as a nation, and if you don't like it, change it. I can't do it for you.

A couple of years later you got Pearl Harbour. That is where the power of the mighty led you before.

2) The other people in the in the room, many years my senior, were shocked. They never heard that story before. To this day I am humbled to he the one he opened up to.

Today, the US is looking towards the rights of the strongest. Much like back then. I checked the papers.

Ensuring that the democrats have a majority in both the house and senate would do much the same thing.

Midterms? 10 months away, are they not? Sounds like perfect timing to me.

ouch. Hope you get well again fast.

Sorry for butting in as a foreigner, but yelling at ICE seems counterproductive. This is caused by people voting republican. Go yell at your friends and family that voted republican?

Treat the cause, not the symptom?

I came here through a repost by a mate, and I am lost. What or who is Joanne?

Sledgehammer, Peter Gabriel. Did wonders for my english vernacular.

Welp, just had to put studded tires on the bike. Also, someone switched the sun off. Pictures of sensibly warm, nice places to ride bikes would be appreciated, because the next four months are going to suck. Again.

Det har alltid eksistert bygdetullinger. Så bra at du ikke har blitt utsatt for de før nå?

Trikset er å holde de utenfor stortinget.

Porky? You wish, you whippet.

Care to elaborate on what went wrong? That would be much more valuable to the rest of us. Not because pointing fingers but because it would allow us an objective look in the mirror to self evaluate.

Fifth grade is about 12. About 7% of american adolescents report having been sexually active before 13, so I would say it is just in time.

Oh, and mummy needs to grow up a bit. In six years the sprog will be moving out, probably.

I am norwegian. If your affiliations raises questions about conflicts of interest you need to recuse yourself. You can not accept gifts above about $10 or thereabouts without running afoul of corruption rules. There is EU training for those in need.

You guys have lost your way.

FCC head Brendan Carr tells Europe to get on board with Starlink Author of Project 2025 chapter says EU regulators have “bias” against US tech firms.

I find the lack of self insight in the US disturbing. Yes, china has a problematic history.

That doesn't mean that the US gets a free pass on fascism and racism.

There are four companies looking to replace Starlink in Ukraine. Eutelsat is one of them.

Uimponerende, ja.

Artig at den klumpen der kaller noen "skrotvenstre" i det hele tatt.

Paris Roubaix 2025 live Live of the Paris Roubaix 2025 tracking. See the rankings, the riders, the route and the latest news.

Well, that makes stuff a bit more interesting.

I do like how you respond to my criticism by describing everyone else as dumb, though.

I'll ponder that over a Saturday tipple.

I find the american tendency to see everything in extremes fascinating.

To me "there are no longer cars in Paris" is not a sensible interpretation of the headline, clickbait or no.

YMMV

What made you think there were no cars?
