In Swedish there is Linnéa. After the Linnaea flower (Linnea in Swedish). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linnaea

There is also Rosa, Viola and Iris but Linnéa is probably more common.

The time when when you could trust the US to honour alliances and agreements is obviously over anyway. Better to find other trading partners!

Ja jag tyckte den passade bra i det ruskiga decembermörkret!

That hamburgers were called “handburgers” because you hold them with your hand when you eat.

Ideologies such as social liberalism and democratic socialism are often regarded as in between extreme left and extreme right positions. There are many other positions of course such as centre-right and various “green” and religiously motivated positions. They could also often fit somewhere in between on a conventional right-left spectrum. This of course varies a lot between countries and political systems.

Very minimalistic routine 2-4 days a week. Alternating between A: squats + chins, and B: deadlift + dumbbell overhead press. 3 sets for everything except deadlift which is 1 set. When I hit 10 reps per set I add weight.

I try to spend time in nature. Walk around. Sit on a rock. Look at small things. Close my eyes and listen, smell, feel. Go home. Take a shower. Eat something uncomplicated but reasonable (oatmeal + eggs (optional) + fruit (optional)). Go to bed early (not optional). Feel what feels like to be tired. Sleep.

Looks like something I would absolutely love! Beautiful!

My favourite is the Munch museum in Oslo. It is a fairly new (at least in a new building), very modern museum with Munch’s fantastic art. The most famous version of The Scream is however at the National Museum but that is just a short walk away. The National Museum also has other great collections of course. Fantastic medieval art.

For most of my life I was not at all interested in art museums but now I love visiting them.

Go for the eyes Boo, go for the eyes!

I think this is a great question. Even if there is a misunderstanding hidden in there somewhere it looks like the kind of question that could produce very informative and interesting answers from someone with knowledge in the field.

Looking good! They are best with coconut flakes like that.

Indeed! They just released a new album that seems pretty good too.

You’re welcome, it was a nice surprise for me too. Seems pretty good!

Yes in the way that the older I get, the more important it becomes to take care of myself. Physical activity is most important for me in this regard. Giving myself opportunity to sleep well. Avoid alcohol. These three things interact. If I take care of myself I don’t feel physically old.

Nice performance, love the violin!

I read them as an adult. What I loved about the second book was the very original setting and perspective that was still completely captivating and felt believable. I don’t think I have ever read anything that is quite comparable. Anyway, maybe I should give the third one another go, I’m on vacation now so maybe a little bit more relaxed and patient!

My experience was that the first book was fine, say 6,5/10. Just enough to move on to the the second, which I absolutely loved 9,5/10. Started reading the third with high expectations but it just didn’t engage me at all. Didn’t get through more than perhaps 25% of it.

Meaning only exists as experienced by someone particular in a specific situation in time and space. The meaning-making processes in these situations assume a configuration of previous experiences, and probably conventions, languages, agreements on symbols and metaphors, technologies and so on. “The work” doesn’t have any meaning outside of these situations (maybe it doesn’t even exist, depending on how you define it). The author normally has no control over these situations and thus cannot, practically speaking, determine any meaning. But probably there is neither a “the audience” that can “determine” anything. The audience likely consists of several elements that create meanings in different ways across space and time.

Related issues: The author/creator/performer had an intention that they themselves get to decide. But this intention is not universally and necessarily the same as “the meaning of the work”.

Practically speaking, the purpose of the audience is often to understand the intention of the author/creator.

Ja bara idag träder ju exempelvis höjningen av högkostnadsskyddet i kraft, vilket ironiskt nog försvaras av Forssmeds parti- och regeringskollega.
