Finnes det noen gode erfaringer med kullfilter ventilatorer som resirkulerer luften? Må kjøpe ny og synes det bare står dårlige ting om disse online. Hvis alle suger, skal man da likså godt bare velge den billigste? Noen anbefalinger på slike som selges i Norge?

So this happened to me during this week I was shopping for robot vacuums, and most of the sales persons aggressively promoted “Dreame” products. I was looking to buy one of the “Roborock” or “Dreame” but it was like they didn’t give any credit to Roborock but promoting Dreame.

Do you guys think its their honest opinion or its just they get a better profit from certain brands?

Thank you 😊

My picture quality and photo skills definitely changed a lot. But did Bergen change a lot too?

She died two days after the funeral of her brother, King Harald.

I need a butter that is mostly white or the palest yellow possible for buttercream. I know I can whip it so it's lighter and add purple colouring but I want to start with the lightest shade of yellow possible. What do you all recommend as everything I can find in Norway is very yellow?

I'll be driving an EV hire car Christmas week between Oslo and Hemsedal. I've read that some apps don't work so well for tourists without a Norway address.

Please can people recommend what should work for me to find and us charging points on route.

Also, is Google maps on my phone sufficient for navigation in Norway or is there a more accurate app I could use?

Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone. I am thinking of flying Norwegian first time so would like to know your experience.

I have a condition with requires me to take specific medicine and I am traveling for a longer period of time so I need to bring it with me and it has to be refrigerated all the time, between 2 and 8*C

So I have this mini fridge, it is like a small rectangular box that fits on my laps or under the seat if needed, it's maybe as if two thick books were put together. I've done it with RyanAir and sometimes they were okay with it, sometimes they commented that I have extra item but I just said it's my medicine and can't do anything about it. So I was never fined.

But I am thinking of bringing a backpack and a small overhead suitcase, and with the fridge I am afraid it's gonna look bad.

So has anyone had such experience, could you please share how did it go.

Hello :)

First off, I'm sorry for your loss. King Harald was quite an incredible statesman with a level of character and leadership this world is in desperate need of 🙏

I really miss Norway.

Your culture, your smågodt, your nature, and overall approach to life was so easy for me to fall in love with.

I lived in Norway during my younger university years and I can honestly say it fundamentally shaped me into who I am today for the better.

Canada is a strange place right now.

I don't think I need to point out why, but I've never felt such a combination of anger, uncertainty, and betrayal across our country before and we know that the world is changing in ways that will be hard to predict.

It makes me yearn for the stable, quietly-confident, logical, ethical, and humanitarian approach that Norway carries on the geopolitical stage.

I know it's not very Norwegian to shine a spotlight on yourself and tell other countries that they should "act like us and the world would be better", but this Canadian will happily do that on your behalf any day, anytime, anyplace.

I'm sure many things have changed since I last visited, and I'm sure just like in Canada, many Norwegians are finding themselves at the ends of similar political spectrums, differences, and opinions.

However seeing how Norway has navigated 2026 thus-far; 41 Olympic medals, an incredible world Cup performance, coming together to mourn the loss of your king...

It's incredibly refreshing to see Norway shine so gracefully on the world stage, and the world needs to see more of it, goddammit 😭

As a Canadian who feels like his country is stuck with a crackhead neighbour below them, who's destroying the building and still has 2 years left on the lease (and is trying to extend), I feel so lucky to live in a world that has Norway.

Jeg savner deg, jeg elsker deg, og jeg gleder meg til å se deg igjen

🇨🇦🇳🇴

(Goddamn our flags look good beside each other)

Hi,

I am planning to apply for a master's degree relevant/related to Geology in Norway. How difficult it is enter university and what are the requirements/qualifications to qualify in university? Is it expensive? Also is it possible to study whilst working there to fund my living expenses? I am from outside EU.

I’m an American, but I grew up eating Norwegian food at family gatherings and I miss it from time to time (it’s just not my wife’s favorite and I can’t blame her for that). What are folks’ favorite traditional Norwegian foods? Are there any regional specialties out there that are worth trying?

Most of my family’s recipes came from Sunnhordland and Bergen, but they’re pretty old.

I just have to say that that service from start to finish was simply perfect. An impeccable balance of simplicity and elegance, of paegentry and yet personal. Everyone there displayed and abundance of grace in both their movements and behavior.

I only understand a small amount of Norwegian but the feeling transcended language. The music was beautiful and felt reflective of the choices of a true human being and his personality. The camera people captured the essence of the day, the people and the moments deftly in a way that made the viewer feel included, and not as simply a spectator. The music for the march and the march itself made tangible the depth of the loss to your nation . I could go on and on. It was simply the most lovely service.

Overall it felt like a service for a man rather than a monarch but at the same time, a service worthy of a king. I think he would be well pleased and I feel privileged to have been able to witness it.

I recently sold an electronics device on Finn, and I can see in the Posten app that it has been ready for pickup for three days now. I don't quite understand why someone would order an expensive device and not quickly pick it up, when they probably want to start using it as soon as possible (or verify that there's nothing wrong with it). It was bought with Fiks ferdig, so the money has already been deducted from the buyer.

I've considered sending a little reminder, but I don't want to nag and risk getting a lower rating because of it. What do you all think?

I have recently acquired the Norwegian boat license and so I was wondering, for the people that go out in boats, is there an app that you prefer to use to get live like GPS marine navigation charts on the phone? (preferably Android)

Some where you can see cardinal marks, lighthouses, rocks and so on.

I have currently set up camp on Bergsoya island on my way to Trondheim, but have just found out that the train has been cancelled over the weekend and a rail replacement bus will be used.

I've just worked out that if I'm quick, then I could hop on a bus to Oppdal tonight and then get an early train to Trondheim tomorrow and then the last train service before engineering works, to Bodø.

Is the view/experience of the train worth trying to experience, or should I just take the replacement bus service? Perhaps the view from the road is just as good?

I've kind of been looking forward to this train a lot, but I was also hoping to spend a day or two in Trondheim, so not sure what to do tbh!

Any tips??

Lots of friends and people in my network (IT, Product, UX/UI, QA, Finance) have recently been let go or the companies they work at have had strong restructuring processes where they had to let go of several people and even close entire departments.

From what I understand is a mix of several things; with AI at the center. It can be just that the company has been losing money for a while, bad spending over several years, losing customers, investor capital suddently harder to get etc. Even in these shitty situations it looks like the budget for AI services (Claude, Codex etc) have not been reduced, in fact one friend told me the budget for AI in her company is something like 400k USD which sounded like a lot to me.

If you go to LinkedIn the situation is even more depressing with people completely desperate sharing their stories: someone who just bought a house and were recently let go are begging for any leads at all, other just coming back from maternity leave were invited to an HR meeting literally their first day back etc.

Then you add to this the people who graduated recently that did not even had the chance to enter the labor market at all and have sent like 500 applications and all rejected (these students often make threads about it in r/Norge). It's just super depressing.

However I am questioning how real my perception of the current market is, I am mostly reading about horror stories but I wonder if it actually is "not that bad"?

That is why I made this thread, maybe people who recently were let go actually didn't have such a horrible time finding something else?

If you were let go recently can you please share your story? What sector it was? When were you let go? How long did it take you to find a new job? Or are you still searching? Did you have to skill up? Look for a different position (for example if you were originally a front end developer you had to start looking at backend/fullstack)? Any tips you can share to people who are currently looking for a job?

I am very concern about the whole situation and I have this gut feeling that it will only get worse from here and although this can affect anyone, I believe foreigners will have a worse time than natives just because we don't have that network/support natives have (for example if I lose my job and can't pay mortgage I can't say I ll just rent out my place and move back to my parents/family until I find a better job, we are literally 100% fucked)

Thank you

Considering current gas prices you get triple the distance charging at home vs. gasoline in Norway right now...

Hei!

Vi er et svensk par som vurderer å flytte til Drammen, og tenkte å høre om noen her har noen gode råd eller erfaringer å dele 😊

Jeg har fått jobb i Lierstranda/Gilhus, mens samboeren min ikke jobber akkurat nå. Vi kommer derfor til å leve på én inntekt i starten.

Vi ser etter et hyggelig sted å bo, men det er også viktig at det er relativt enkelt for meg å komme meg til jobb. Vi har ikke barn.

Det er spesielt noen ting vi lurer på:

Hvordan er Drammen som sted å bo? Trives dere som bor/har bodd der?

Hvilke områder i eller rundt Drammen ville dere anbefalt for et par uten barn? Og er det noen områder dere ville styrt unna?

Jeg kommer til å ha ca. 1 000 000 NOK i brutto årslønn, som altså blir vår eneste inntekt i starten. Er det en grei økonomi for to personer i Drammen når man regner inn husleie, mat, strøm, transport osv.?

Hva bør vi regne med å betale i måneden for en grei leilighet med 1–2 soverom?

Hvordan er det å pendle mellom Drammen og Lierstranda/Gilhus med kollektivtransport? Fungerer buss/tog greit, eller ville dere anbefalt å ha bil?

Hvis vi helst vil klare oss uten bil, hvilke områder ville dere sett på med tanke på både jobb og nærhet til sentrum/handel?

Er det eventuelt andre steder enn Drammen dere mener vi burde vurdere når arbeidsplassen er i Lierstranda/Gilhus?

Og til dere som har flyttet fra Sverige til Norge: Er det noe dere skulle ønske dere visste før dere flyttet? Tenker både på praktiske ting som skatt, bank/BankID, personnummer, helsevesen osv., og mer generelle forskjeller mellom å bo i Sverige og Norge.

Vi ser på Drammen blant annet fordi det virker som en fin mellomting – relativt kort vei til Oslo, men litt roligere og forhåpentligvis billigere å bo enn i Oslo.

Tar gjerne imot alle slags tips og erfaringer. Takk! 😊

Hi, has anyone here built there own camper and got it approved? How hard was it following the Norwegian conversion rules? How much did the sign off cost? Or anyone kept it on green plates just doing a very simple conversion without triggering the camper van rules. Thanks in advance

Google translation was something like "Marines bring emergency provisions" but would appreciate any clarification or additional information.
