  • I dont forget to eat dinner, because food is one of my greatest joys. 😅

    However, what I usually make if I’m in a real hurry, or just don’t want to bother cooking something that takes real effort, is spaghetti aglio e olio.

    Cook spaghetti as you like it, transfer to a colander when done and turn the heat off.

    Whilst the spaghetti is cooking, chop some garlic. I usually do one or two cloves for a single portion. Don’t use a press as we’ll fry the garlic, and it’ll burn if you do.

    In the now empty pot, put in a couple of tablespoons of olive oil and the garlic. Fry until fragrant. It should only take a minute or two. You can turn the heat back on if it doesn’t come up to temperature to fry. Be sure not to burn the garlic.

    Put the spaghetti in the pot and toss with the olive oil and garlic, to coat the spaghetti. Put the dish on a plate or in a bowl.

    Here’s the secret trick: Pour over some more olive oil. Olive oil loses some of its great flavour when cooked, so we want to add some room-temperature oil for flavour. It makes a difference.

    This takes about 10 minutes to make, its super easy, only uses one pot and a colander, and it’s super tasty. Add chopped parsley and some chili flakes for extra flavour if you want. Its a nice addition, but not needed.


  • I just checked the Danish newspapers online, and only found one article about this. It didn’t provide much new information, other than a retried professor stating that is it if true, then it works not be a war-crime, just merely a breach of sanctions. We have had a few Danish companies apparently aiding the Russians exposed so far, one more to the phone would not be unlikely I guess.



  • I loved my Nokia 7380 art deco phone. It had a screen hidden behind a mirror surface, a rotary dial instead of buttons and even a little fabric flap like a pair of jeans or something. It was so widely different to anything else out there. I wish it still worked on contemporary wireless services, but alas. It was a pain to text on but with voice messages becoming a thing, it didn’t matter too, too much. I would probably go back if I could. A stylish cellphone





  • This thread has been interesting. There are claims both that Lego bricks are made to better tolerance, and the opposite, they they are worse. So which is it?

    As I understand it, Lego moved their production out of country for a bit, but returned it because tolerances could not be met. So who are making these better, or equally good pieces now?

    Full disclosure: I’ve 3d printed a few Lego bricks now, and some certainly came out better than others - but I did manage to get some fully adequate 4x2s printed. Now as for the angle supports for my Lego wall… Not so much unfortunately.


  • Det er også vigtigt at huske at ikke alle værnepligtige stillinger er i hæren. Der er også værnepligtige i søværnet, flyvevåbnet og beredsskabsstyrelsen. Jeg hører nogle gange argumentet om at kvinder ikke kan klare sig i forsvaret fordi de fra naturens side er mindre stærke end mænd, men det behøver ikke at være rigtigt. Derudover så skal de velsagtens leve op til de samme fysiske krav og prøver som mænd, så det burde kunne lade sig gøre. Der er jo også fastansatte mænd på 55+ år der ikke kan meget med kroppen længere, så er det typisk i kontorstillinger mv at de arbejder.







  • Jeg ved ikke hvad den bedste måde at gøre det på er, men jeg synes at det er en god start at mærke varerne på.

    Jeg skrev til Rema 1000’s support for at høre om de også ville mærke varene op, og det svarede de at de ikke umiddelbart havde nogle planer om - omend de fulgte med i udviklingen.

    Som lille bonus kan jeg fortælle at min lokale vinbar serverede mig noget Canadisk vin i går, og de kunne ydermere fortælle at deres distributør havde meget travlt med at forsøge at skaffe mere. Der er åbenbart stor efterspørgsel på det for tiden. Pusseløjerligt 😀
