Now you can read more about this find and several others from the medieval park in Oslo in our article.

jeg foreslår at vi begynner å oversette det engelske uttrykket "sick as a dog" som "syk som en oppdrettslaks" på norsk.

Two pages of a book about chemistry. This section deals with water and the atmosphere... and instead of giving the usual abbreviations, like h two o and c o two, there are little stick figures, just a touch larger than a capital letter, and each stick figure has a letter written on its belly or hat, c or o or h or n. The whole book is like this. It's called "Efficient Oil Burning: A Graphic Description of Combustion" and it's by Arthur H. Light.
Sad to say farewell to this weird lil guy.
70 pages of chemistry with stick figures in place of atomic symbols 😮

Sitat: “I EU har de et helt annet kosthold enn i Norge. Fransk løksuppe er det mange som kjenner. I Italia er det løkforbruk som er 4-5 ganger høyere enn i Norge. I noen europeiske land har vanna med urensa avløpsvann ut på åkeren. Da er det klart du får mye dritt inn i grønnsakene.”

Ryggmargrefleksen er å servere alt som kommer fra EU som noe truende. Det samme gjør mediene stadig gjennom sine overskrifter. Tenk, så forferdelig å måtte gjøre noe med gift i maten. Ble Norge også truet av EU da de hjalp å få tilgang til vaksiner under pandemien? www.aftenposten.no/norge/politi...

Ukrainian History Global Initiative
The Creative Humanities During a War of Destruction
We are told that, under stress, the humanities must be sacrificed. But amidst a war of aggression scholars in Ukraine have undertaken one of the most ambitious knowledge projects of our time. It's a privilege to be involved with Ukrainian History Global Initiative

one reason "great power competition" is a bad description of the emerging order is that an interlinked global kleptocracy does not care about national interests or rivalries

Det er ikke EU som bryter EØS-avtalen, det er Norge
Hvis Norge både slipper toll innad, mot EU, og utad, mot resten av verden, behandles vi bedre enn EUs medlemsland. Faktisk behandles vi bedre enn alle andre land i verden.

It’s especially ironic because the lecture is exactly about the ‘paralyzing cowardice’ of today’s elites.
About universities, corporations and media networks bending the knee to authoritarianism. /4

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1
