Calling a Norwegian a Dane is about as popular as saying a Canadian is from USA or calling an American British I guess ;-)
Ah, a simple mistake :)

That's what I guessed :-)
(Seems I've offended someone else though, but I have no idea why.)
Why wouldn't they prefer it?
Nothing beats sitting in front of a computer in the dark.

I can't stand it. Feels like staring at a light bulb. The only thing that makes it passable for me is Night Mode in F.lux on OSX. Nothing else works. I keep a Mid-2012 MacBook Pro around just so I can have a computer I can actually use in a dark room.
Even then it's not ideal. The lowest brightness setting still isn't low enough.
In my twenties I could happily destroy my circadian rhythm and sit in front of a screen til 4-5 in the morning. At 35 that shit's gotten real old.
I never implied they didn't prefer it, so I wonder why you seem to think so.
Well, he literally called it "insanely better", and you felt the need to double-check whether they do prefer it.
That's enough implying in my books.
(Besides, if we're to play this game, I never said that _you_ "implied they didn't prefer it". I just asked, "why wouldn't they prefer it").
> yet somehow I missed the possibility to sit down and be productive in some narrow topic.
Do you mean that you preferred the life you led in Australia to the one in Norway? If not, how do you mean that quality of life was insanely better?
