In Norway. Technically in a city, but it's very rural. About 30 minutes of walking with a descent of ~150 meters. Carrying groceries back up that hill is a big test of stamina, so we very rarely do it. We mostly drive to the store.

Your friend is full of shit. 3km is a very long distance for walking to get groceries, and I can imagine that you have to deprioritize heavier groceries all the time due to that distance. I'd recommend getting a bike or electic scooter or something to cover that distance. Basically no one in Norway would have 3km to their nearest store with walking as their only option.

I have one that is smart, and you are spot on. It was nice to use in the beginning to get an idea of what pressure is recommended and time spent on each section. But I have uninstalled and been running app free for several years now - with zero issues.

I think you might be mixing up with the skateboarder.

Ah, I stand corrected. Yeah, that makes it look bad.

They just met in the previous sentence. It sounds weird to "grab the attention" by holding some kind of sexual implication for a single sentence.

Instead, I read it as a thankfulnes of the hospitality. If I were to crash at some strangers place, I wouldn't be surprised if I was to sleep on the couch or sone improvised solution. Getting an actual bed for a crash night sounds like a good sign of hospitality.

I'm so happy to have grown up in a country where not learning to cook isn't an option.

As a Norwegian, how can I support?

My experience is from Norway where the taxes on the rich is balancing on a line. A lot of rich Norwegians have already moved to Switzerland to avoid annual taxes on their wealth. I would expect to see something similar if USA introduced reasonable taxes, unfortunately.

I fully agree on putting on Bluey. It's so good.

But could this really be done? As far as I've understood, billionaires typically don't have a billion liquidized and ready for spending. Rather, their value is distributed in ownership of several companies. How would the 100% taxes on ownership in companies be applied?

Don't get me wrong, I would love to see it work, but I feel like it's a lot more complicated than stated. And if a good way of applying those taxes would be introduced, I'm sure the billionaires would either find new ways to make the money untouchable or personally move to a country with looser tax laws.
