I’m trying to do a “quick translation” game English => German, and I’ve discovered that “fast” is one word that take more time than it should. Possible reason is that it means …well “fast” in English, “almost/nearly” in German, and “but” (kind of) or “solid/firm” in Swedish. So when I see “fast” I have to check if it’s the German or English column so I get the correct translation and Swedish just keeps confusing me. End result is that it takes too much time (and there are more words like this)

I’m editing/writing a document in Word and my blood pressure is already up several units. How does people stand this crap?

Jag tycker egentligen att detta är en bra idé men ibland misstänker jag att det för vissa är en jättebra ursäkt att slippa hålla iordning i trädgården och inte någon omtanke av naturen 😝

This says a lot

Todays fun moment: I went to fair and saw two German Shepards, one was a puppy and I guessed that it was 3-4 months old. The other was a young dog and I guessed the age to be 10-11 months. I talked to the owner and the puppy was 3.5 months old, the young dog was 4 years old and the mother of the puppy 😁 She was so tiny … or I’m perhaps biased because of Albus. To me he is a normal sized dog - he is larger than the standard 😂

Säsong 2 av Stiftelsen är betydligt bättre än den första.

Jag antar att det är ett resultat av min ålder men jag tycker det är ofantligt löjligt att använda “sale” istället för “rea”. Och då ska vi inte prata om “deals” 🤬

Nope … NOPE

Sometimes it becomes a bit confusing trying to learn language X using an app that’s in language Y when the same word exists in Swedish and X and Y but slightly different. Or even worse when Swedish and X are almost identical but not Y

I read about the heatwaves across the world, and I’m once again grateful for living here. 18 degrees… perfect. Let the vacation begin 🎉

5 years since I deleted my FB account (I occasionally use Instagram … you know photos), I haven’t posted to Twitter since October, haven’t opened Twitter since February, and it looks like Reddit soon is history (I’m only using Apollo to access it). Things are changing.

I like that Tungsten (same name in Swedish) literally becomes “Heavy Stone” (tung = heavy, sten = stone) … since it’s hard to think that this is a coincidence, I looked it up on Wikipedia and sure enough a number of Swedes were involved in the discovery.
