It depends on how you feel. For instance, I have a few friends that are born in Norway, but their parents are Vietnamese. Those friends would always described themselves as Vietnamese while in Norway; they are a part of that community, their ancestry is important to them etc. While traveling abroad however, they would say they are Norwegian. The context is different, and citizenship is more relevant. Some of them have lived several places, but their roots and citizenship were the most important pieces of nationalidentity to them.

Myself I'm an immigrant. I don't tell people I don't really know what county I came from; it's private and not relevant. If people ask me (not abroad), they usually mean my accent is off, which is rude.

Why did Norway get it's own percentage? 🤔

It's so funny, because in my case airdrying is one of the worst solutions. My hair gets very frizzy and flat while still curly. What I have to do instead is to immediately lie down with wet hair and kinda squish it against the pillow. When I wake up in the morning it's voluminous and mostly not frizzy.

On a more serious note, it makes sense; pigeons don't build nests, they just make sure the egg doesn't roll away. It's good enough. Junior bird worked very hard, but it wasn't necessary. A few sticks did the trick and required no time. Now you can focus on other tasks, that's efficiency.

I don't really know this stuff, that's why I'm asking for recommendations 😄 do you know any good ones?

 

I am looking for a reliable and preferably privacy oriented alternative to Skype credit - a service that allows me to call landlines and mobile phones via an app or website. I’ve heard of Yadaphone and Yolla, but I don’t know much about them or where they are based. Do you guys have any experience with these? Do you have other recommendations?

Oh, it's just EU. I can't sign as I'm in Norway 😞

Mensinator is great, lightweight and straightforward.

I've seen the app while researching but it wasn't clear from the description that it can translate from images too. It's looking good, thanks!

No problem, if I don't find a FOSS one DeepL is definitely a promising alternative.

 

I want to stop using Google translate app to translate text in pictures I take, which is something I often need to do while traveling abroad. Do you guys have any foss app recommendations? Or maybe a website?

It's because the second word is "stawberrey", missing the first r.
