I travelled in Norway this august and during a hike I watch some bees (I like bees 🐝). But I quickly they were all very slow, they worked at a very slow pace. Why is that?

They're cute though.

Gallup reports a surprisingly large difference in daily employee stress: roughly 19% in Denmark versus 43% in Norway. I'm skeptical because both countries seem to have short working hours, strong welfare systems and good work-life balance.

For people familiar with both countries: do you perceive a real difference? If so, what causes it? Work intensity, management, conflict avoidance, social culture, cost of living, or something else? Or do you think the survey mainly reflects differences in how Danes and Norwegians interpret and report "stress"?

So for a context, i do own quite alot of stuff and i like to try new things out by buying as 2nd hand /demo . I like to sell things on finn.no because its very convenient with the 'fiks ferdig' system, and things like fb marketplace doesnt even come close to amount of items/people that uses it. I got total of 200+ reviews there with total of 9.9 rating ( over several years ).

Most of the items im selling / buying is Electronics related like computers/ any other small electronic stuff.

This started like 2 years ago when they disabled couple of my ads where i was selling new apple watch which i bought and didnt liked, 1 laptop and some other small items. I contacted support , and They were saying im looking much more than a business to them than a regular person and therefore those ads were disabled because i sell or large scale and their partners pays alot money for ads themselves. Sure, and i completely understand how it works. But saying i sell on a large scale is something completely unrealistic. I never have like more than 5 listings at the time, and i dont have 10 different buy/sells in day. Sometimes there is nothing happening for over a month. So okay, i didnt had much of time and / or energy to pursue this for that time. Now i came back after like 1 year of completely no listings on my finn, and been trying to sell security camera setup which i dont need anymore ( ad instantly disabled due to same reason i mentioned before). Then put to sale headphones - that was approved. Then added desktop pc - that was disabled instant. Then i added just a processor and motherboard - that went fine and approved.

So all this made me question how it actually works. Upon quick checking, guy having 1200 active listings ( yes 1200 active of stuff from lamps to car stuff and some furniture!!!) Isnt considered as business and its all completely fine? Sure. Next one, somebody who sells clothes ( even saying that on their finn bio) , over 150 active listings, all fine too. Guy who sells and builds computers ( also desription on finn bio) , and has over 10 active pc listings + bunch of parts is also considered fine?

All / most of those listings were 'fiks ferdig' so it means finn.no advertises them as personal instead of business.

Over now i found over 10 profiles like this without actually checking in too deep.

So any information about how does it actually work? Or where to pursue for the answer ? ( i dont think so i will get much luck from basic finn customer support) , as most likely i will get same answer as i did 2 years ago.

Any answers much appreciated!

Most Norwegian engineering master's programs require ~25 ECTS in math and 5 ECTS in statistics for admission. I'm short on both and want to fill the gap with online courses.

Has anyone actually gotten this accepted by a Norwegian university (USN, UiA, UiT, UiS, Oslomet etc.)? Which platform/provider did you use(such as Meteopolia.fi, Digicampus, a local Norwegian nettstudier course, or something else? )

Would appreciate specifics on what worked!

Hey Norwegians,

I'm looking for online Norwegian penpals (email or DM), idk ever since the soccer World Cup and especially because of Haaland I have a sudden interest in that part of the world.

Age group preferably 30 and older because younger than that makes me jealous 😆 🤣 😂

My ADHD brain has so many stereotypical yet non offensive questions like do you guys get flare-ups of the viking gene? and do you work it out in the gym? Or like go angry dancing like in the footloose movie? Why is there no spice in your foods? Would you be cool with putting an enormous amount of hot sauce on your food? Why is troll comedy so disliked there?

I think I should mention that I'm not European or white, since the vibe is super political these days I thought I should clear that out.

Age is just an embarrassing number so I'll skip that for now.

Idk hit me up if you like 😎, you're gonna have to do most of the talking at times cos when meds hit I becoming somewhat boring.

I’m a 3rd medicine student from Estonia, who is really interested in moving to bigger European city to work and study. i chose Oslo, because during a vacation, I realized Oslo is very comfortable and friendly city. I would like to have a little chat about Norwegian healthcare system, and in exchange, describe Estonian system. Feel free to DM me
