…It is wonderful to be loved by the Norwegian #FOSS community. Last year, @sjn brought me 500g of #Brunost at #FOSDEM. This year, a larger group — incl. @Liks0m & @Foxboron & @aslakr — conspired to bring me 3kg of Brunost & 1kg of Geitost!
They now joke (?) that it'll continue to progress: .5kg->2.5kg->12.5kg
I keep reminding them I have to prove to USA CBP it's all for personal consumption. I can totally eat 12.5kg in 1 year, but CBP might not believe me!
♥️NORGE_FOSS!
While I believe taxes on luxury goods of any amount are reasonable, this is a great example of the bizarre Trump tariffs.
My Norwegian friends know, I love #Brunost — my favorite cheese in the world.
My colleague @sjn kindly brought me Brunost to #FOSDEM 2025, but I've long since enjoyed it!
As a holiday treat, I wanted some Brunost. This tiny 250g cost me US$11!
It's delicious, but expensive!
My Norwegian friends: I'll glad pay you a 10% premium to bring me Brunost at @fosdem 2026.

"Am 17. Januar 2013 kam es im Tunnel zum Brand eines mit 27 Tonnen Braunkäse beladenen Lastwagens. Der Brand dauerte vier Tage lang an, da der fett- und zuckerhaltige Käse nach entsprechender Hitzeentwicklung wie Treibstoff den Brand befeuerte."

Überlege, auszuprobieren, ob man norwegischen Braunkäse flambieren kann. Das Gericht nenne ich "Brattli".
We're on our way home, having paid a visit to my cousins' place to bestow gifts upon their nearly-one-year-old. Said gifts included a plush #capybara and a copy of Baby's First #Klingon Words. (This child will bring honor to our houses!)
We then stopped at #GrandpasCheeseBarn and stocked up. They had no #brunost, though. ): But, I did get some maple cheddar!
The roads are much better, today, it is gloriously overcast, and I just might finish this wrap I'm crocheting!
