It probably did. I was in the us this summer and was similarly confused that the pump wanted a us zip code for a foreign card. I input the zip for the address i was staying at and it worked...

I'm quite sure yes. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/fileapi/... returns exFAT and it says exfat for that partition in the disk management tool.

I just experienced an interesting exFAT issue yesterday. Apparently it has a 2 second resolution on mtime. Got a bug report and just formatted a new partition with exFAT in windows 11 and it was unable to set modified timestamp to an odd nu

Plants. I didn't have many before covid/wfh, but they really make the place more liveable/ejoyable by just being there and this became increasingly important as i spent so much more time at home

Its not all about cash vs non-cash. It can also be about privacy. You might not want some embarrasing item on your bank statement for a number of reasons. I would love a reloadable prepaid anonymous card i could use instead of my own in my

Well its not an impossible argument to understand from a game theory perspective of civilization. I don't agree with it. Much as i don't agree with the Dark Forest premise set forward in the Three Body Problem series, I thought it

They haven't actually found oil there yet. They just assume it exists. And it probably does. There has to my knowledge not been explorative drilling in Lofoten/Vesterålen/Senja yet. If that was what your comment was addressin

Do they really though? I don't know any numbers, but i would imagine that the airports at least make up some if not all of the cost of equivalent railroads? I get that the airport can service a lot more destinations than a trainstation

Also don't buy 20 pairs of jeans etc per year. The cheap "fast-fashion" these days has a hidden cost you don't pay directly. And its HUGE.

I have never heard of this. I cannot really believe any norwegian bank would grant you anything even close that that.

~20 years ago my parents bought us(me) a new computer. A Pentium 2. For almost the exact same price(not adjusted) as the fairly well specced gaming computer i bought last year. Prices drop for a lot of stuff. Thinking youtube for $15/m

Its not that they have to be hard choices. Its rather that we are only commiting to try the easy ones. And i do agree that what matters is the outcome. I just don't think we are changing the outcome as much as we should be doing given

Changing their name is not really changing what they do. I realize they are diversifying into other areas(which is only sensible), but they are still also doing what they have always been doing. Push for more drilling. And i'm not sure

Sheeeet.. Norway is in the middle of trying to figure this out. Or we are where we have always been: Pretending to do everything we can to protect the climate while actually doing almost nothing that would impact our standard of living. Its

Can't remember either, but your recollection is close to what mine is. But given that Moff knows who/what Darth Vader is it is not supprising that he takes a subservient stance when talking to him. Kind of the same way i'm ve

Subsidizing personal vehicles sounds completely insane and irresponsible to me. The problem is that everyone ends up with their own vehicle and this gridlocks any road in/out of a city. Which ~big city in the world does not have trafic

This debt, at least in Norways case, is probably mostly due to a very large portion of people buying their own home. Its a lot more common here than in other countries and when growing up, at some point buying your own home is almost expect

I really really really do not share that nostalgia. I live in a city center and the only amount significant source of noise is from cars/buses. Sure you will have sirens or people shouting every now and again, but there is a constant b

The amount of waste and corruption in charities should not be underestimated. Of course a lot of them are doing good work, or at least think they are, but there seems to be an increasing amount of charities existing to enrich its owners&#x2

I think the single most important 'thing' go offers is his third point. The removal of the thread. The ability to very easily run multiple concurrent pieces of code cannot be understated. I have my grievances with go as i do with
