We are part of the EEA. The agreement between the EU and the remaining EFTA members. (Norway, Iceland, Lichtenstein and Switzerland.) For Norway's part it means we adopt the legislation as national law (we can veto, but seldom happens) and are part of the inner market but not the customs union. Also special agreements on energy (oil) agriculture and fishing. We have no representation in the parliament or the commission. We participate on beurocratic level but cannot vote on anything. (I represent Norway in two 'group of experts" and two administrative cooperation groups) GoE discusses things on a higher level AdCo lower level and market surveillance. We have a voice, but always a little bit apart.

Looks like the picture was taken at WarhammerWorld in Nottingham

Yeah. Fuck you! /s

Being born august 79 i am bordercase of both horrible generations

Those are movement dice from Baron of Dice. https://baronofdice.com/collections/battle-robots/products/movement-dice-set

They have more for "Battlerobots" as well. Outside the US the shipping can be quite high, I got mine on a larger order from a Norwegian gamestore.

Search for "movement dice battletech" on eBay as well.

Welcome to "gun people who hate gun people"

Dell Switzerland is hardly doing it to appease NATO "allies". Yeah I know they are sort of allied adjacent.

I am not saying that the countries are not doing these things. But are they doing it to curry favor with TACO Trump?

Game of Thrones. To much a period drama.

The fuck we are. This sounds like psyop

I have mixed experience with Electrolux. Tho' it has excelent representation in Norway. V-Zug looks really interesting, but only sold in Switzerland and Germany... Perhaps Denmark.

Got a "entry point" Miele about 9 years ago. Same experience as you. If they have started compromising on quality I don't know where to go.. Asko is now Gorenje and produced in China, and have not pulled out of Russia.

Thats a great feeling. I did extremely low level tech support for other students while at uni. in 2003 (Think issuing user names, filling copy paper, sorting out storage space allocation on the shared drives.) Small part time job that paid for boze. A girl came in with a 3.5" floppy disk on the verge of tears and said she couldn't get the file on it. It was her master thesis and the only place she had stored it. We still had floppy disk drives and I slitted it in and used a dos shell to acess a: but nothing. No disk in drive. I took the floppy out and noticed that the metal protection of the actuall disk (that soft plastic circle) didn't slide properly. To me it looked like the spring was just to worn and had no tension. Took it off and could then access the files on it. Error was that the spring wasn't able to slide the metal protector away when inserted into the reader.

Copied the files to her "home" area, sent a copy by email and gave her a new floppy with the files and told her about the importance of back ups.

The sheer look of relief and gratitude was priceless.

Major shareholders seems to be in it for the long term, but it seems to me that all "venerable" brands are shit these days. So you can either buy mostly shit, or artisinal small scale that cost a fortune. Any new startups can never get off the ground as they can't get shelf space in any major store.

Honorable mentions are Miele, Beretta shotguns and who else?

Edit: just remembered that Beretta has a clothing line that is probably just braned crap
