Vitamin D is added in Alpro soy milk and the Oatly oat milk that I drink in Sweden, along with vitamin B12 and calcium. It's all equal to the levels found in cow's milk. There are …

I practiced qwerty touch typing in school, but never really used it myself, rather using two-three fingers on each hand and letting them move around a lot across the keyboard. I sw…

My (large) company work from home at least until the end of the year, then we'll see. We're still allowed to go into the office, and some do because they don't have a good working …

Yeah, it's dark when you go to the office and it's dark when you leave for the day. Luckily I have a couple of colleagues that enjoy a brisk lunch walk, which at least gives some e…

When my daughter was young (in Sweden), this system was in effect, but was calculated per calendar year and not on the total number of days. We took around half the number of days …

Thank you for writing this comment, and especially the Buddha quote. I hadn't read that before, and it's very thought-provoking.

It's still misleading in Sweden, even though we're in the EU. Here it's called "frigående" (free-walking, or free-range) which for hens just means that they are not kept in small c…

I agree and disagree! I've seen the comments where the issue is nuanced, but I'll add some of mine. I play point-and-click video games remotely with a friend. We always try to stop…

I really want it on the Switch! I played the emulated version on PC, and I know it's now available on both Steam (I heard that they fixed the broken early version) and mobile, but …

Same thing with Denmark. Their Ministry of Health said that closing the borders was a political decision and not based on public health. Sweden has stayed consistent with what expe…

There are a bunch of things that work in Sweden's favor in this case. Looking at Stockholm, hardest hit in Sweden, numbers from 2014 said that 45% of the people had moved there fro…

That's true. Two other situations that can trip you up is when a company changes the ingredients, without clearly advertising it, and restaurant chains with different preparation p…
