    This presenter kind of made an interesting point. In the US, kids have active shooter drills but not on Norway. Yet she seems to deride their methods of preparedness. In Portland Oregon, the kids have earthquake drills. I have radiation detection devices, haz mat suits, periodically do Radon detection tests, lhave plastic sheeting and duct tape, each have a backup generator, filters so I can get water from the river, go bags and semi auto rifles for everyone in my family so why is any bit of Norwegian preparedness considered a negative? Seems to me like what a reasonable and prudent person would do.

    Vinmonopolet was made in 1922, when it was clear that prohibition failed. Norway had prohibition from 1916 to 1922. Quite a bit of leading members of the prohibition activist in the US were of Norwegian or Scandinavian decent. Most bomb-shelters were used as storage from c1990 to 2022. They were built because of the Cold War. In the US you could "duck and cover" with Bert the Turtle.

    You're just scared of radon and the other things because you have never had a chance to be properly educated about it, like we do in schools when we're young. So it comes as a shock. The precautions against radon is there exactly so that we won't have to worry. Only about 10 percent of houses have radon levels that require some kind of protection against it. Smoking is way more dangerous than radon.

    • @heatherabroad

      It’s just hard for me to understand the effects of the radon shooting up to 480 and then coming down to 70 and how that could affect us long-term even though the average is “acceptable” over long term measurements. Especially when it is in the children’s bedrooms. 😥

    US plumber from Los Angeles here. The floating toilets are very common in Norway, especially in most apartments/modern homes or hotels. In the US we don’t typically install those units because the drain systems we are taught to install for toilets are set into the floor and in order to change the style to make it float we have to move the plumbing as well as do alterations to the framing in the wall to be able to create that effect. In other words Americans are cheap and just want the bare minimum that will be easy to repair in the future where the Europeans are a bit more flamboyant about their fixtures (not sure why). If anything malfunctions with your toilet you can bet you will have to call a plumber to be able to fix it however most of those units are new and will last a few years before you have to do so. If I missed anything or you have another question/comment let me know I want to move to Norway one day you’re so lucky! 😊

You have noticed diffenrent things than me, haha! Also, makes me wonder how they pay bills in the US, why does that need to be so complicated??

      🤣🤣 to winter Norwegians! Yes, I now perceive paying bills in the US to be complicated! You have to go to each company website directly to pay once you get the bill. There are some companies that you can set for automatic drafts, but it does not link to the bank in the same way that it does in Norway. And just recently I had to pay for my license renewal for my Physical Therapist license in the US and had to get my mom to write a check and mail it for me! How old school is that!

    The thing is, that shops when all are open 24/7 don't really sell more as if they are only 10/6 open, but they have to have way more employees and they maybe need to work more hours, and in the end they will mostly get payed worse and the prices for the customers are higher. So in the end its worse for everyone because some people just can't plan their week to go grocery shopping on friday or saturday instead of sunday. Also .. americans always do as if they are sooo damned religious but they don't even know their bible even though they do as if they read it every day, else they wouldn't be always so "shocked" about all those "no work on sunday" rules _______________________________________________________________________________________________ "Exodus 35:2 Six days work shall be done, but on the seventh day you shall have a Sabbath of solemn rest, holy to the Lord.

      I think it is because it comes in the paper bag with the name of the bread type, so they know which bread to charge you for. The plastic is not already around the bread. It is something you can choose to use after it is sliced or just put it back into the paper bag without the plastic.

      @Gazer75 2 месяца назад

      Because the paper bag has the barcode for scanning. The bread is in a paper bag from the bakery, but you don't want to store it in that or it will dry out in a matter of hours. I don't use this myself as I'm perfectly capable of slicing on my own, but I do replace the paper bag with a plastic one when I get home. I also cut them in half and freeze them. I like to keep them as fresh as possible and I need 2-3 days at least to eat half. It would probably either go bad or not taste good if I left a whole bread on the counter before I could eat it all.
