developers consistently have a huge influence over local politics
they are not just going to let themselves get regulated in that way without a fight, and the ways you get them to build more housing will give them more resources to fight with

Advarer mot å ta Ap til venstre

Etter hans tale blir det utover dagen debatt, hvor pressen ikke får være tilstede.

Rundt to tredjedel av velgerne Ap har mistet, har de mistet til sentrum eller høyre.

Det mener Tore O. Sandvik, sentralstyremedlem fra Trøndelag, må være viktig når den politiske strategien skal legges frem mot stortingsvalget i 2025.

– Svaret finnes ikke ved å gå til venstre. Kopierer vi SV, så vil vi også kopiere oppslutningen. Og det er for lite for å skaffe makt. Skal du ha makt, så må du ha flertall og vi skal bevege oss der velgerne befinner seg. Og det er ikke til venstre for oss.

The voters are punishing AP for not being right wing enough says man from ostensibly a labour and unions party.

yeah this is similar to how we do it in norway, maximum normal criminal sentence is 21 years but they somehow finagled breivik into a version of forvaring which doen't presuppose him being criminally insane. i don't understand this system very well, so i may be missing something, but my impression at the time was that we were finding a bit of a loophole to ensure that this specific guy was never ever coming back out

Not really, depending on how broad a definition of similar you are applying.

V. Illych L. posted:

No it isn't, check out chap. 16. It's 30 years. Depending ln whether you consider genocide etc. "normal" crimes but they do count in the range of ordinary criminal prison sentences.

V. Illych L. posted:

No, they didn't. It's not a requirement of forvaring that the defendant be any type of insane, check out chap. 7 more specifically § 40.

And Breivik was not found to have been insane during his crimes.

No you don't (no offense), you are missing something, and Breivik was just plain sentenced to forvaring. There are no loopholes to criminal convictions.

But seriously, would you like to be the judge who lets Breivik out? I would never ever make that call personally, guy's a loving whacko and the biggest recidivist risk I have ever seen.

I actually (not joking, being v serious) in my real life really like Denmark, and Sweden. Like both are genuinely wonderful countries to visit in a kind of uncanny valley for norwegians type thing.

But Norway is the most corrupt country holy gently caress, and it's not at all about money but it's about who you know. Like if you had to recuse yourself because of friendships or potential personal business interests basically zero cases would make it through committee.

I was chatting with a Dane over beers, and we got on the subject of mead. I mentioned that it didn't seem super popular in Copenhagen and I only found some in Magasin du Nord which was obviously pricey but alright.

"Oh, any mjød that has Yggdrasil or a Viking ship on the label is gonna be mediocre"

"Yeah, so what would you recommend"

"Try buying online from Mjødgard, they're pretty good"

There is such a thing as dry mead, but my preference is a balance below what you'd normally think of as desert wine.



Here's a spicy mead, metheglin. Christmas flavours (cinnamon, allspice, cloves, orange zest), mildly sweet, stored minimum 1 year before consumption.

I recommend you make an ancient orange mead as your first mead, it's very easy, low effort and a great intro into basic sterilization and sanitation practices (which you should always follow regardless of what the recipe says). Then post in the homebrew thread about it.
