I'm not at all surprised, from what you've said that place is awful. Stress is not a problem we have at work really, but there is alot of lifting wich cause people to injure themselves in different ways, shoulders, backs, wrists and elbows tend to give out. I'm honestly quite surprised about how few real accidents we've had there though, many people tend to skimp on the safety routines. Hell, skimp, they don't bother with them at all. Most annoyingly our branch has the highest production in all of Sweden, but we have the lowest wage. People are getting really pissed off that we're getting nothing of the profits. It's not a small amount that differs either, we're talking of nearly 200€ difference. And the union is being limpwristed about things aswell.

Went shopping for groceries. Bought fruits and vegetables, and breakfast cereals, dairies. Forgot to buy any 'actual' food though. :|

Everytime I read some **** from PETA, all I want to do is go cuddle myself on my wolfpelt. Also; No skill? Those pelts they drape on themselves usually comes from some beast that can kill an Astartes. And some Chapters have to prove their worth by killing such beasts unarmed. Atleast get they can get their nerd **** straight before they start preaching. Now, I'm off to bed, and I'm taking my pelt with me. And my sheepskin.

You have my sympathies, I'm on 50% sickleave at the moment, and it's costing me a ****ing fortune. Been on sick leave since November, started working 50% in December, 75% wrecked me and I had to go back to 50% again.

Are you sure? This... this ,,, is ,,,, Epic *Added to gog library*

am thinking the scumbag % for women is same as men. even so what do we win? HA! Good Fun! She's a good person? Since when?

Still looks weird in 2560x1440.

Same here, would love something more modern though.

Generally dislike them, there is no way for me to really care about a character in a 40 hour game. While I can like them, there really is no interest beyond that. It becomes too shallow. The only game that really came close to it, was the relationship between Geralt and Yennefer, and that was because I had 2 games and a few books behind it. Best sex scene I've ever came across though was from the brothel in JA2, black screen with squeaky bed noises and a smiley face that winked at you.

That's a very low bar though, they're worth less than the skidmarks in a hobo's pants. Assange has had my respect before, and I actually expected more from him, I expect the Swedish "justice" system to be ****.

Bah, there goes the last vestiges of respect I ever had of him. Coward.

Well, true, you can only buy extremely expensive alcohol from select stores between 10-18(10-15) ;p The only thing that I can think of that is really worth seeing here, except Lappland(The northern part of Sweden) is the warship Vasa. And supposedly the pretty girls, but I doubt I can recommend that to him when his wife is coming along We do have an awful lot of runestones and burial mounds, but since I've got two mounds(One next to the school I went to and one about 200 meters away in the middle of a field) only a stonesthrow away I don't get as impressed with them as I ought to. Edit; Then again, Birka! I'm not too bothered that 70cl of Absolut Vodka costs 30$ to be honest, what really, really, really annoys me is that they've gone from 75 to 70 cl. I'm not even joking, that has me fuming when I think about it. Trying to sneak in a priceraise like that.

I'm a little bit dissapointed that the lightsabres are'nt glowing.

If you've got some green, and are going in the winter, you could look at going to the Ice Hotel in northern Sweden . It's pretty pricey, and besides some impressive arctic climate and aurora borealis there is'nt that much to see up there, but we have some museums further south. Well, I've been told that by a french coworker, even she dislikes the general attitude to english of her countrymen

I've had some people recommend France to me, but they all speak french fluently. Those that don't speak french hated it, "was lovely as long as you did'nt meeting any french people", was the gist of it. I have a hard time imagining a place in Europe that is truly foreign and alien, I'd look to asia for something like that I've been planning a trip to Ukraine and Chernobyl with some friends though I am a bit hesitant because of, well, things that happened the last years, but it's something cool to see that I doubt many people can claim. So if you have any interest in such things, that might be worth looking into. Bulgaria has interested me a few times aswell, I'd like to see some of the Thracian tombs they've got there and the city Nessebar.

Thank you! I'm very proud of it, I named it 'Conan', for it left a wake of blood and tears...

Got my fiber connection working today. Now I only have to find out who my ISP actually is...

Happy birthday!

To be fair, it's somewhat rare here in the south, but yeah, the ought to be more used to it. Was quite relaxing during the drive home since 90% of people on the road was doing ~70kmh when the speed limit was 100. There was'nt really any snow on the motorways either, since they've salted the roads in anticipation, but still people where scared.

First real snow arrived today, wich means my face has been in a perpetual all day long! I love snow, and now even more so, when I have a drivers licence and a real wheel drive car. Wheeeeeeeeeeee! FUN! It's also amazing how many people around here don't know how to drive in the snow, I spent 15 minutes out of 60 just waiting for people to get moving. All that said, I'm really considering buying new winter tyres, the previous owner bought winter tyres without studs in it, wich means they're worthless on ice and packed snow. I really hope I get my money soon. Until then, WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

I don't remember the details to 100% right now, but you can do that if you are alone, but if you have some friend near you (Arbitrarily decided by the police on the scene), you're a crowd and you'll get arrested. Ofcourse, if you do carry a rainbow flag visibly the chance that one of the many hategroups will see you and will come beat you too a bloody pulp. Since you're alone... And they will get away with it, because the police will not do anything to help you if that is the case. Even if there is photographic evidence.

Nope, there isn't any reliable way really. You can only tell the difference from pure methanol to ethanol that way iirc, but if it's methanol diluted in ethanol you can't. Edit; http://www.ehow.com/how_8714279_test-alcohol-methanol.html That sounds about right.

The risk of getting wood alcohol is pretty small, since you have to distill booze from wood to actually get it. Those problems come from a-holes selling moonshine that has been diluted with other things, methylated spirits for instance. You'd have to be pretty callous to do that. So yeah, it's a bit about safety aswell. But you don't get methanol from regular distilling.

There was a time in the 90's when making your own booze was legal here in Sweden, a relative of mine had a still wich he used quite frequently, he did add herbs in it to make aquavit. I guess that the time it'd take to age the booze would be somewhat frustrating, especially the first years. If one had enough space to keep it going though it'd make it a bit easier to bear I reckon. Well, not only taxes, but tax expenditure aswell. Atleast here, where healthcare is paid for by taxes, but it does help curb alcohol consumption somewhat. The biggest annoyance with "systembolaget" (The monopolized government controlled outlet for alcohol here in Sweden) is that the refuse to refridgerate their beers... That's supposed to be a tax? 3$ per litre? For booze, we pay 517SEK per litre of alcohol (Wich means, 517SEK for 1 litre of 100% abv) that's about 60$
