  • The most recent, best tech purchase was the Nintendo Switch 2, and not for the reasons you think.

    So, this is Denmark. A Switch 2 with Mario Kart World goes for 4000 DKK (€535, $630). With my budget there isn’t a chance in hell I could afford that. Even if I could, the Switch 2 simply isn’t worth it, especially considering I have a Steam Deck.

    So what’s the story?

    Well, last year a telecommunications company rebranded themselves into “Norlys” (“Northern Lights”) and started making some deals to attract costumers. One such deal was a 20% discount on a Switch 2 with Mario Kart World bundled, if you subscribed to their most expensive service. Yeah whatever, that’s still 3200 DKK (€428, $504) and then you’re stuck paying 300 DKK (€40, $47) every month for six months.

    But…

    I have a friend who works for Telenor, and he has a friend who works for Norlys, and my friend of a friend called my friend with a real hot insider tip; someone royaly fucked up somewhere, and anyone buying the Switch 2 and the six month subscription lock-in will get it for 99 DKK (€13, $16) and no subscription lock-in!

    So yeah, me and my friends all got a Switch 2 and a game for a tiny fraction of the cost.

    Because dogs, cats, and humans don’t have the same nutritional value as other meats.

    As most life cycles go; Lifeform A consumes lifeform C, requiring nutrients Z, and produces nutrients X. Lifeform B doesn’t produce nutrients X and consumes lifeform A, producing nutrients Y. Lifeform B dies, gets decomposed by lifeform C that turns nutrients Y into nutrients Z.

    If lifeform B consumes another lifeform B, or something similar to lifeform B, then they won’t get nutrients X.

    You get the idea.
