  • It’s not really a lot of hoops to jump through, and this seems to be standard practice by DHL, UPS, FedEx and others, over here.

    I actually appreciate getting the options on delivery day. E.g. I usually get to choose what collection point they leave the package at (so I can pick a spot I pass by going home from work or whatever), or if I want them to come back the next day, or have it dropped off at my office (not always an option, kinda seems to depend on how stressful a day the driver is having). I certainly prefer it to risk having the package stolen, then reporting, waiting for a new delivery…

    Of course, if the package is large, heavy or otherwise unwieldy it might be a pain not having it delivered directly to the door, but if I’m expecting such a thing I try to be home to accept delivery.

















  • I’m Norwegian and I’ve never really been worried about Russia setting foot over here. Even less so now, after they insisted on showing the world just how incompetent their military is. Lethal and capable of massive destruction, yes, but also disorganized, flailing, incapable of progressing a mile without throwing massive resources at it.

    I just don’t see how they would get far anywhere in the Nordics. They might be able to roll across the border into any of the countries, but not with any significant amount of weaponry, and the response from the west would be swift. At least I hope and assume so.

    Let’s just make sure Trump isn’t elected and declares his love for dictators, again, yeah?
