@fiago7 A Nordic concept would gain more supoort than a Scandanvian one 🙌 so include 🇬🇱🇫🇴🇮🇸🇫🇮

Who would win the Scandinavian League? 🇩🇰🇳🇴🇸🇪

It's utterly ridiculous that we have all these supposed billionaire geniuses running around, and their greatest innovation of our lifetime has been stealing our personal data to sell us targeted ads.

Always hilarious to me that China and India didn't even know this massive continent in their backyard. And then some English dude from the other side of the world just came along and yoinked it.

90’ların Şampiyonlar Ligi introsu… o hissin yanına bile yaklaşan yok.

On a train in Finland. There is a booth at the back of the carriage for making phone calls, and an area at the front for hanging coats.

Friend started running a while back, and I asked how many miles she does a week and she told me she doesn’t know, that she just goes outside and runs and stops when she’s tired.

@DennisonBertram @paulg take my money!

Yeah okay, Lego bros, brodettes and brotheys are cooked with this one. GPT 2 Image can create full Lego sets! With actual Bricklink IDs so you can order the parts and build it. Whole new business opportunity here for the taking.

Fór yfir háskólaverkefni með svo kölluðum "AI detection" kerfum sem eru notuð til að finna hvort nemendur séu að svinda með gervigreind Magnaðar niðurstöður: 6 af 10 voru með yfir 95% líkum að þau voru skrifuð af fullu eða stórum hluta af AI Þetta voru mín verkefni frá 2015

Sanyo,1988, filmed in Houston and featuring music by Jean-Michel Jarre. And it is like a mini-movie showcasing the style and ethos of this era. The music is masterful…

People are laughing at this but!! Every Finnish person knows how Nokia got started making rubber boots and then got into cellphones and wireless network equipment

Got a letter from the HOA yesterday Actual letter In an envelope With a stamp In 2026 The letter said my trash can was visible from the street for too long on collection day The fine is $50 I checked my Ring camera The truck came at 7:03am I brought the can in at 7:14am 11 minutes $50 That's $4.55 per minute of trash can visibility My therapist charges $250 an hour That's $4.17 per minute My trash can sitting in a driveway is now more expensive per minute than therapy I looked at the letter again It was signed by the HOA president Her name is Karen Of course it is I know this woman She lives four houses down She still has Christmas lights up It's March I know because I drive past them twice a day And because that's what I do I checked the HOA bylaws All 47 pages Section 4.2 says all exterior fixtures and lighting must be seasonal and removed within 30 days of the applicable holiday Her lights have been up for 97 days I went to the HOA meeting Tuesday night 7pm In a church basement Folding chairs Fruit platter that nobody touched Seven people showed up Four of them were on the board The other three were there to complain I was there to read My wife came with me She didn't want to But she said "if I don't come you'll end up on the news" I brought my legal pad Karen called the meeting to order She talked about community standards She talked about property values She talked about the importance of curb appeal From a woman whose Christmas lights are still blinking in March I raised my hand She said "we'll take questions at the end" I said "it's not a question. It's a point of order." She looked at me I opened my legal pad I said "Section 4.2 requires seasonal decorations to be removed within 30 days. Your Christmas lights have been up for 97 days. You fined me $50 for 11 minutes of trash can visibility on collection day while you've been in violation for over three months." The room was quiet One of the other three complainers said "he's right" The board members looked at each other Karen said "that's a separate issue" I said "it's the same bylaws" She said "we'll review it" I said "I already did. Page 12. Happy to share my highlights." My wife looked at the ceiling Some things never change Karen said "I think we should move on" I said "agreed. I'll move on when the Christmas lights do." Nobody laughed I wasn't joking I paid the $50 Because it's $50 and I'm not going to die on that hill But if the rules apply to me they apply to everyone So I filed a formal complaint about the lights With photos Timestamped Funny how surveillance works both ways The fine for seasonal decoration violations is $75 per occurrence She's been in violation for 67 days past the 30-day grace period I'll let her do the math Or I'll do it for her Because that's what I do Make common sense common again Plz fix.

Scandinavians speaking English to eachother is the biggest aura loss 😞

@Uhu35109439 @bernhardsson jeg vil si at mine grunnleggende kunnskaper i norsk, dansk, svensk og islandsk er ok, men det finnes noen lokale dialekter der det er umulig for meg å forstå 😀

@bjarniherrera @bernhardsson Beror på, klarar danska någorlunda, men jyllandsdanska (sönderjysk) är bortom min förmåga (och vad jag förstår, även vissa danskars). Detsamma gäller förstås även vissa norska och svenska dialekter..

My newest stupid idea is we should merge the Scandinavian languages. Let’s invent a new one that’s basically the average language. Mandate that it’s used for all public broadcasts. People would learn it in a few months. 25M speakers.

@justiceandheels @Multilanguman @bernhardsson for å få dette til må de nordiske landene generere skikkelig bra film og serier, og det ser ut til å skje, i hvert fall i norge og danmark (noen ganger island) – jeg har ikke lett etter svenske eller finske i det siste.

@Multilanguman @bjarniherrera @bernhardsson Tror det också är för få konsumerar dansk media. Norskan fick ett uppsving via Skam. Finns mkt svenska/norska serier/filmer. Känner inte att så mycket danskt sänds här i Sverige, utom möjligtvis kriminalare.

@justiceandheels @bernhardsson enig, media er en av de beste måtene å forbedre seg på. så lett tilgjengelig nå på Netflix, osv. også for ikke-ungdommer som meg.

@bjarniherrera @bernhardsson Nej det är inte så svårt. Det krävs främst att vi konsumerar varandras media mer. Många svenska tonåringar stärkte sina norskkunskaper enormt genom Skam. Och att vi insisterar på att prata på 🇩🇰/🇳🇴/🇸🇪 och absolut inte växlar till engelska så man bygger en vana

@Broccolidwarf @bernhardsson agree

@bjarniherrera @bernhardsson I understand both Swedes and Norwegians when they speak to me in their own language. It doesn't take much effort to get there, you just need to be around the language for a little while.

@_S0mnambulist_ @bernhardsson jeg har bodd i fire nordiske land, og kunne alltid forbedret disse språkene. men jeg har hørt dette fra andre i Norden, så ikke bare meg.

@bjarniherrera @bernhardsson jag tror det är en idividuell utmaning, och den individen är du. För du är den enda jag hört som har problem med det här...

@_S0mnambulist_ @ReneRyeLarsen @bernhardsson Ja, det er kanskje rettferdig, kontraintuitivt.

@bjarniherrera @ReneRyeLarsen @bernhardsson Då tror du fel. ju mer spikad och nichad fält, destå mer chans att språken har olika jargon. Då är det enklare att bara översätta till ett gemensamt språk som engelska (de ord som är gemensamma är förmodligen låneord ändå)

@_S0mnambulist_ @ReneRyeLarsen @bernhardsson i would think that that people in similar fields, industries, and levels would have an easier time communication in their languages - but people working in international business may automatically turn to English

@bjarniherrera @ReneRyeLarsen @bernhardsson på hur teknisk nivå är dessa kollaborationer? för jag kan tänka mig att jargon är det första som kan missförstås om man inte delar språk. i de fallen är engelska bättre för att undvika missförstånd
