It depends a bit what couldn’t afford means in your context, but I would recommend paying for your own (cheap) domain. That way you can move between email providers if for example Google suddenly bundles AI in its plan and becomes too expensive. The whole package would come to ca. 30€/year here in Norway.

He is elected though? It is not as easy to depose a pope as a president, but there is no military coup, secret police or other things associated with dictatorships.

I’ve made a couple batches, mostly with honey and meadowsweet. Just remember to feed the brew with yeast nutrient along the way, so the fermentation doesn’t get stuck eating only sugars. I like to remove the carbonation before bottling, but that is up to personal taste.

The climate here is not economically competitive, we have fairly large toll walls and subsidies to protect local farmers. In a completely free market, most food production would be outcompeted by foreign goods. This does of course make food much more expensive for us than strictly needed, but it also gives a safe supply.

Is this close enough? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=i98bKRYIZd8

It does not work on my work-computer, since office macros and some formatting renders differently across versions. Other required software constraints make windows unusable for me.

There is hope. Here in Norway, we have a parallel system called BankAxept handling card and online payments within the country. Most/all debit cards are dual, and Visa is only used as a fallback. I believe lobbying for a similar system in other countries, or better yet for the EU as a whole, would be a good way to get started.

We have Grans Cola and extra cola here in Norway, probably a lot more as well, but shipping them internationally would probably not be worth the hassle if you have local produce. I can recommend club mate cola for import, its strange enough not to be too commonplace.

Sounds like a good idea. Would you consider allowing EEA countries as well, to including Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein, possibly also Switzerland?

Here we have prisjakt.no that cover the prices across stores for many consumer products, maybe other countries have something similar?

As someone who semi regularly needs to get obscure projects running, than you for your service!

I don’t know the details, but if you get hired for a position here while living abroad, you can get a work visa as skilled labour. That can later be converted to permanent residence after living here for some number of years and passing some language and/or culture test (I think). I know several people who have moved here either through work or university, including from the US. Best of luck no matter where you end up.

At least the lunch, warm cantine food at work is unfortunately not as common here as in many other places.

Norway is good if you get a job before moving. The weather, people, food and welcome is a bit cold, but life is good.

Great meme, and not a bad recommendation, but I find personal blocks to be a great tool myself. After spending a month blocking the most extreme people over there as they popped up in my feed, the remaining memes and commenters are quite nice.

Especially when the next couple of verses explains it.
