When I was at university, my friends and I used beer for currency. Somehow it was easier to say “you owe me two beers” than say “you owe me 100 kr”

We’ll take Scotland and the oil platforms. Anything south of Scotland is not worth the hassle

There are no “useless reports” when compared to the alternative

Reminds me of the first days of BankID here in Norway. To get my new BankID to work with my current bank, I had to log in with, you guessed it, a BankID allready configured to my bank. Took a few weeks talking to the bank, showing up in person and queueing with others with the same problem before the bank realized they’ve made a mistake somewhere

Same happened when the code thingy the bank sent me ran out of batteries. I went to the bank and asked for a new one. Not possible, they said. I had to contact the main branch, and they would send me new one. It would only take one week or so. I had to pay a bill that day, and asked if I could open it to replace the batteries since there was visible screw with ordinary heads. They said that was illegal and hacking, and that I must replace it. On my way home I opened it, and bought the exact same batteries from a shop, and replaced them. Worked perfectly!

Only if you definite it to be limited to there. Free speech or the lack thereof is a condition of existence for a group of people.

Free speech is just that the government shouldn’t be able to punish you for what you say. Nothing else.

What you describe is governed by the social contract. Noone should be forced to listen to what other people say, and people can freely decide to distance themselves if someone says something they don’t agree with.

Is this like the weird “criss cross apple sauce”?

It is true, at least here in Norway: no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Den_nye_tellemåten (“The new way of counting”).

Our parliament deceided in 1949 that 21 should not be pronounced as “one-and-twenty”, but as “twenty-one”. It was because new phone numbers got introduced, and the new way gave a lot less errors when spoken to the “sentralbordamer” (switch operator ladies).

Same as the norwegian “hjerne” and “gjerne”. They are pronouced the same, but the first is “brain” the secon is “yes, please”

“Hjort” and “gjort”. Also pronounced the same, but the first one is “deer” and the second is “have done that”.

Easy
