Wait, what? Usually the complaint is the other way around. A suit can be worn time and time again, in all kinds of occasions.

Just curious, how does your suit scream wedding?

I’ve used the suit I bought for my wedding countless times, just ditched the embroidered vest.

Admittedly my WW2 history knowledge is quite lacking, but I don’t recognise Vichy because of the war stuff.

But I do recognise Vichy! Because we have a sub-type of mineral water in Sweden that is named after Vichy, “Vichyvatten”. Wikipedia tells me the original was from a spring near Vichy, hence the name.

Strong contender! Definitely less populated, but I think also less well known?

World recognition or in-country?

If world I’d guess Huskvarna (pop 24 000) for Sweden.

Known for having a company making chainsaws (among other things) named after it (Husqvarna). It is one of the two main brands of professional chainsaws (the other being Stihl).

Me too, first two phones I had with USB C both developed issues with the port, one shorted in the port, the other for some reason could only be charged with one specific cable, oriented in only one direction. Never had any issues with the ports on any previous USB micro phones.

The current one works alright though, and its capable of detecting water and dirt in the port, so probably won’t short itself. So I think the technology is improving.

Nah, not that crazy… typically a sauna here, in Sweden, is between 70 - 100 C.

Very cold sauna! Should be at least twice as hot.

Sweden: Healthcare is mostly tax-funded. There is a small fee (for adults between 20-85 ) for each appointment. This fee lies between 150-330 SEK (~15-33 €), depending on which region you’re in. Emergency care is usually about 10 € more (40€), and an ambulance trip double (so ~60€). If you’re admitted to a hospital the fee is 120 SEK/day (in my region). Total fees paid for appointments during a year is capped at 1300 SEK (130 €), after that they’re cost-free.

The above is regarding “necessary” care, so things like cosmetic surgery, vasectomies, etc. you’ll have to pay more.

Access to specialist doctors varies, some you can contact directly (usually private practice), and others you’ll have to first make an appointment with a general practitioner at a health center, then get a referall if they deem it necessary. In my region there’s quite a long wait time for many specialists (I had to wait 6 months for a head MRI), and sometimes you’ll have to travel quite far because the care is only offered in one hospital in the region (My wife had to drive 200 km for a surgery).

Can’t see the silliness in that at all. Over here (Sweden) the required clearance is 10 m (~30 feet) (before the crosswalk, none after). The intent of the law is to allow full visibility of pedestrians about to cross the street.

Huh, 50 °C is really cold, and also way below the recommended minimum hot water temperature here, where it’s at least 60 °C in order to avoid legionnaire’s disease.

Is legionnaire’s not a thing in the US?

Verkar som uppdateringen hade en positiv effekt på inläggsflödet. Tidigare blev det mycket upprepade inlägg på sida 2-framåt, men det verkar löst nu, snyggt jobbat!

Agreed, especially not the absolutely cringiest parts.

Banana pizza is child’s play! In Skellefteå they have reached peak WTFery in the pizza game, let me present the “Calskrove”: https://www.tasteatlas.com/calskrove

It’s a Calzone, with a baked in “skrovmål” (double patty burger + fries). Enjoy!

Sounds pretty good to be honest. In Sweden we usually have a side salad for pizza (“pizzasallad”) which is close to sauerkraut, but not fermented. It’s not uncommon to also put it on the pizza.

Snitsigt med svenska överallt (för visst kom det med uppdateringen?)! Men i menyvalet för visning av trådar är bara vissa delar på svenska, t.ex. “aktivt” men inte “Top Hour”. Relaterat till samma meny så synkar inte den med resten av temat, åtminstone för mig (firefox för Android) så är den med vit bakgrund och svart text.

Tack för bra genomgång. En fråga bara, på de två instanser jag försökt abonnera på utanför feddit.nu får jag “Subscribe pending”, vad är orsaken till det? Måste det godkännas från deras sida?
