This doesn't sound like they're charging extra if you're over a certain weight, which is what a lot of people here seem to be assuming. Its data collection for future designs.

People are aware that you get charged for overweight baggage for health and safety reasons, right? Anything over about 20 kilos is too heavy for a single person to safely handle so they have to get two people to do it, which costs more time and money. I would be very genuinely surprised if a few dozen more kilos from overweight baggage and people would be enough to seriously impact a plane's flight unless you're on a small town hopper

...the overweight baggage charge is because of health and safety, not plane weight. Anything over 20 kilos is too heavy for a single person to safely handle so they have to get two people to deal with it, which takes more time

You on the other hand aren't being handled by anyone. You're not a health hazard.

Bloody GM's fault for killing Holden and taking away our beautiful utes

They sell those things here in Norway, but always as like a way to make American style pancakes or way too many eggs at once. Never seen them as a lefse pan, which is why that name confused me because like, we invented lefse. If any country would make a pan for lefse, it would be Norway

Lefse griddle....500 fahrenheit

I'm super confused isn't a lefse pan just like a really big cast iron pan? Since when are they heated?

pie crust

...you mean put cold butter, flour, ice water, and a little seasoning in a food processor and blitz until crumbly? Or are you talking about making puff pastry from scratch?

That's because it's actual cult propaganda. As in "it's literally made by the church of Scientology, based on the founding literature of Scientology as written by Scientologist leader L Ron Hubbard, by Scientologist actors"

In a vacuum? Yeah it's cheesy sci fi. With context? Hoo boy...

You could probably back this up by looking at the alcoholism rates in Scandinavia (especially Norway and Sweden)

Scandinavia had their own prohibition and still to this day have a strict 18/21+ drinking age with booze only being sold during very specific hours (and never on Sundays or religious holidays), with anything above I think 12% only available at the government run bottle shop

...you do know this sort of thing has existed on Linux for years right? If anything windows is actually late to the party as this is a relatively recent add on

...yes? The spotlight/quick search tool is stupid useful. Everything is just a quick alt-space and a type away

I've been using Synapse on Linux for years and Windows powertoys is way better than this nonsense (which is super confusing because that's also an official Microsoft programme. Why do they have a superior version of their search that you have to seperately download?)

Or gacha/live service games, where you'll get enough installs and overall revenue to push you over the 200k threshold, but never enough installs for the 1 mil discount, in a genre where it's not uncommon for one person to have the same game on multiple devices (especially if you have a PC or console port), and for games to have a cycle of low revenue dead months that doesn't always coincide with new player counts due to the whale rule.

Like consistently? Or just one or two days a year? Because I feel like bringing out the electric heaters a few times a year is way better than just giving up and using fossil fuel all the time

Also I'd mention that heat pumps are super common over here in Scandinavia so I have my doubts that it's an issue with the medium and not something else. Maybe you guys have like, heat pumps that are more designed for the heat rather than the cold?
