Considering Russia's interest in the islands, that might not be all that great of a choice.

without any real say about them. You pay into the EU budget.
As opposed to the miniscule say we would have as one of 28. It would hardly make much of difference if Germany or France wanted to push in a different direction, or if the budding dictatorship member state decides to veto.
And again, what is there to gain to trade our sovereignty for? It would also make essentially impossible to ever decouple from EU if it starts going a direction we don't want to follow.
We budget ~5 billion dollar annually in foreign aid. The annual EEA "membership cost" between 2014 and 2021 was ~0,4 billion. The cost really isn't much of a concern. And it's not like you stop sending money to the EU once you become a member. E.g. Sweden is a net contributer to EU with 1,6 billion euros spent in 2023.
It's pretty good for us other nordics
I'm happy for you, and not at all salty that we'll never have Scandinavian union instead 😔
Norway is already part of EEA and Schengen. Giving up more of the democratic power of the people to politicians and their benefactors in Brussels who couldn't give a toss about Norway, for no gain, sounds like great deal.
Not to mention the insane scope creep that EU is undergoing, it's hardly just a single market union anymore.
The European Union is good thing, and it has done great thing for Europe and its members, but Norway isn't in situation where we need to join.
It would be nice to have way for admins and mods to make notes on people. E.g. If you are giving someone a warning, you currently need to use an external tool to log the warning.
Ah, I see. Do you use any guidelines for when to apply it, or is it just by feel?
Just out of curiosity, is there a particular reasoning for not using type hints?
Haven't looked much at the code, but not using type annotations in a large python project in 2025 sounds a bit suspect.
As for tests, meh. Trying to test and catch errors in stateful processes is a losing cause, so I sort of get it, at least for a language like python. It's better to focus on making it fault tolerant. Let it crash and just restart the process. If it's a logical error, it should be easy to detect. No idea how fault tolerant piefed is designed to be though.
1000+ line files with no type hints doesn't sound all that great though, some people thrive in the chaos I suppose.
The feedback is a bit harsh though, and doesn't really inform the developers of why these issues can be deal breakers for some.
I appreciate the gesture though, I'm sure someone will read it and find it helpful
My life is too busy to play games all that often, and I still have a backlog of games I could go through. Ignoring the ethical question of pirating, I'm not sure the risk of running unverified executables are worth the risk for most people.
Do you go to the supermarket every day?
There's 5 food stores <7 minutes away from my apartment,. Why stockpile when you can just walk and pick up fresh food every other day.
What happens when you're sick and can't go shopping?
Is that a common occurrence? Just get a friend or family member to shop for you if you're that ill, or order food delivery.
Aren't Americans responsible for their own retirement fund via various investment portfolios? Seeing your retirement money or college fund for your kids disappearing is bound to ruffle some feathers.
