What's the case for The Prince being sarcastic? I realize it's quite different from his Discourses on Livy, but I've read it as being more of a "extreme measures for an extreme situation" kind of deal. He does write in the Discourses that a sufficiently corrupted society could require a monarch using extreme and unusual means.

I can enjoy a nice cup of specialist coffee, and have some decent equipment for making it - but I am also lazy in the mornings, and as a student I got used to the taste of the cheapest instant coffee, so that is what I drink the most. It is actually an acquired taste, I hated it the first time I had it.

You are right, in fact it's still possible to study datafag, I stand corrected: https://uit.no/utdanning/program/795103/informatikk_datafag_-_bachelor

With regards to "sluttfag", I couldn't find anything real, but Google's AI summary says "Et sluttfag er et fag på videregående skole som blir avsluttet med en standpunktkarakter det gjeldende skoleåret" - so it's the final year of a subject that gives you a grade on your high-school diploma... according to a language model :l

I have never heard anyone call computer science "datafag", it's usually called "informatikk" (like "informatics" which you can also say in English), and "slutt" just means end or stop, I have never heard anyone use it to refer to graduating.

"Fag" does mean "subject" or "field of study", though, so computer science is a "fag", and it might be considered a "realfag" along with the natural sciences, I don't know.

Edit: I got corrected below, "datafag" is real

yep, or "field of study", so if you study in Norway, students who study the same might arrange a "fagfest" together, and a skilled worker is often known as a "fagarbeider"

Well, FDR was a man of snappy quotes, executive overreach, and of throwing a lot of things at the wall and seeing what sticks.

Upvoted because I liked the image, then switched to downvote when I saw your post title. Come on, man.

Yep. The science isn't always accurate, but the values are good.

Back when it ran, environmentalism and anti-authoritarianism weren't as clearly tied to the left as it is today.

I'm using Youtube Music right now (practically free, since I got Youtube Premium for the videos) - but I've also ripped my old CD collection and am slowly buying FLAC versions of what I listen to most.

I just sync the whole collection on to all my devices using Syncthing. No need to set up a home server or have access to the internet. Probably not for everyone, but it's pretty flawless for me.

For those fumbling for the standard answer: it is hamburgers. The USA has hamburgers.
