Thought-experiment about using guns as home defense
Tue, 01/26/2010 - 18:14 — Tom
Disclaimer: Yes, this is an overly simplification of how a real situation would occur. But it is still a bit more advanced than the pro-guns "Gun = Protection". Not that any of this really matters at all, I live in Norway, not the States. Let them kill each other over there if they really want to…

Hvor mye er jeg verdt?
Sun, 11/15/2009 - 21:23 — TomHvor stor mengde verdier har jeg med meg når jeg vandrer rundt i nabolaget? Et interessant spørsmål stilt på ForkasteligTV forum (en død tråd). Etter litt utregning har jeg kommet fram til at jeg er verdt følgende sum:
- T-skjorte: 250 kr.
- Sko: 800 kr.
- Bukse: 300 kr. Godt slitt innen nå så burde kanskje regne dens egentlige pris til ca 40 kroner. Noen som vil kjøpe den for en 50 lapp?
- Genser: 400 kr
- Sokker: 30 kr
- Mobiltelefon: 500 kr.
- Datamaskin på ryggen: 14.000 kr.
- Min fars gamle skinnjakke: Ukjent. La oss si 1000 kr.
3280 kr uten laptopen.
17.280 kr med laptopen. Går ikke langs Akerselva med den på ryggen, nei.

No wonder Norwegian public transportation is going downhill when their philosophy is “let us get as many people as possibly into the smallest space possible”. All I ask for, as a person of 191 cm, is 70 cm space from ass to knees. Without that, I am forced to sit with my knees crushed up against the plastic back of the seat in front of me. For an HOUR! This was on an airplane, but is also usual on busses, the metro and many of the newer railways. This is making Norwegian public transportation something of my own personal hell. Any other tall persons in this country probably agree with me. Read more »
