    Oh, of course, no doubt! I’m a child if late middle 80’s, growing up in a western coast in Norway. There was always snow during winter. The last 15 years has shown MAYBE a day or two of snow, then warmer again.

    And then we had the sudden cold for a couple of weeks, which postponed the construction of a new parking lot with about two months due to the frost in the ground (there was something like a sudden 2-3 weeks of -10 Celsius).

    Then we have the summer of 18 in Europe. Even Norway was so dry everything turned yellow.

    It happens, but I do think that in some climates, like Norway, it’ll mostly get warmer with the freak occurrence of cold/heat (depending on the season). My previous comment is for the general term, not to be taken literally.

    And thank you! I’ve missed having a constructive discussions on the internet. Happy holidays!

    Talk about not thinking about others in a different situation than yours. I need to drive 45 km to work, as I live on an old farm. Electric bicycle would take me 4 hours one way, then 8 hours of work, and then 4 hours back home. That’s 16 hours of day. 8 left, which would mean I sleep.

    Now tell me: when do I shower? Clean the house? Do chores and maintain the animals and vegetablegarden?

    Edit: I stand corrected. 2 hours on bicycle… It’s 4 hours accumulated. Still to far most of the year.

    I wouldn’t recommend it. I do pyrography, and used one that screws in the tip. Thought I’d turned it off > 10 minutes ago, and used my index and thumb to start unscrewing it.

    I could first hear it. Like a tiny sizzle, imagine miniature bacon. It feels cold, but then I started understanding what the sound was.

    Then I realised I’d just gotten burned. Hard. It’s not big, but I kept my fingers in water for a while to cool. Now I just have tiny scars that looks cool.

    I’d rate it at 3/10.

    I know you said it as a joke, and I have no idea why I wrote this reply, but here we are. Do with it as you please.
