  • I live in Norway and have 21 sick days. That means days that I can self report as sick. (Influenza and such) I can do this for three consecutive days I think. Then I have to get a physician to write a sick leave. For anything serious you have one year on sick leave before more long term solutions will have to be found. Sick days does not include doctors appointments (its their own quota) or home with sick child (10 days) Pregnancies are their own thing, but often you go on sick leave before birth because being pregnant while not an illness makes you feel ill. We have one year of paternity/maternity leave first three months are reserved for mother, then shares but both parents MUST take three months. (Can get around by company paying for the leave of the one supposed to go back to work.) Father gets two weeks just after birth to settle things at home.










  • Sad story. Died at 28 from drugs after living on the streets. From Wikipedia: “During the evening of June 8, 2021, Skye told friends and coworkers that “the FBI and the Mafia were after her [and] she was going to go become a Hells Angel biker”. Everyone she called refused her a place to stay, so she walked from the San Fernando Valley to Los Angeles’ Skid Row. In the early hours of June 9, Skye asked to nap in a stranger’s recreational vehicle; she was seen smoking something before lying on the man’s couch. A short time later she was discovered deceased there,[2] at 652 Moulton Avenue.[14]”




  • I was trained with the H&K G3 with a slide stock. It’s 7.62 and when I tried a 5.56 for the first time (a Swedish AK-5)I literally had to check to see if it did indeed shoot. There was no recoil from the 5.56. Never tried a M-16 apart from checking out the M-4 that the Rangers my squad was seconded to had (I was Norwegian Combat Engineer), no way that can kick to much.



  • Norwegian here. I quit reddit and joined Lemmy after the API debacle. Installed mint because of W11. (A big factor was how Steam and proton enables me to play games)

    Can’t say either Lemmy or Linux has gotten any media attention in the big news sources as far as I can see.

    I am the only one in my circle of friends that quit Reddit (most follow the various 40k reddits, and they have no replacement in federated options)
