  • It’s all a show for populistic politics. More people are employed watching the borders than the number of people that they catch at the borders. It’s a complete waste of time for both the border police and the EU citizens who legally cross the borders.

    The resources would be much better spend tracking down the undocumented people inside the countries. They could start by looking at the places they work or stay illegally.




  • Nah, it doesn’t always make the news. I know of one time where they flew right over my house and there was no mention of it anywhere, so I tell this story every time anyone mentions those “routine” fly overs.

    It was New Year 2019-2020 about noon.

    The MIG came in from the Kattegat coast and roared through a fjord well below reasonable eardeafening altitude, which made me go outside to see what the fuck was going on. It got intercepted by one of our own F-16s and they did a few rounds of dog chasing right above my head before it flew like hell back towards Russia. The fucker must’ve dodged the Swedes on the way here.

    Way out of line. It’s completely reckless to put some kid into a machine like that and have them fly this close to residential areas. Who knows what would’ve happened and how many people would’ve been hurt if the idiot had hit a tall antenna or lost control from the g-force or whatever. They were flying low, fast and swirling like moth being chased by a flyswatter.

    The Russians are reckless assholes even in peace.











  • It’s farm products. I don’t think it’s any better or worse than American farms.

    Most meals are cooked at home and people do expect fresh produce. The milk in stores was tapped the same morning, vegetables are crispy green and minced meat is red. A negative side is that we do have an incredible waste of food here, because people set high standards. Nobody buys anything on the “best before”-date.

    I think the quality of food in USA is very dependent on location, distribution and preparation. Surely there is fresh food in US too, but it won’t be in the drive-thru.
