More than just a plane ticket. You need a marketable skill that is easily transferred, rent, food, utilities, new transportation, new licensing, and coverage for enough months until you can get the job. Also, the immigration fees.

You’ll need a marketable skill, rent, food, and transportation if you stay, too. I’m not sure what you mean by licensing. Immigration fees is something that I haven’t looked into before, but it appears to be something like 800€ in here Denmark.

As for language, if you pick the Netherlands, Scandinavia or larger German cities, then English will be OK.

I’m not saying that I think it’s a walk in the park, nor that’ll be free, but it may be easier, and less expensive, than people think. Start by going on an extended vacation to the countries that you’re interested in. Maybe talk with potential employers. Then make plans afterwards.

How much does it take?

Imagine any European suggesting that states seceding from the union be rewarded and the rest punished. It would be so bizarre.

I don’t think that any language is generally worse for emotions than others.

Ruling something out though, without having anything but your own opinions to justify it, seems like scientific misconduct.

But in writing that, I had to search my vocabulary for 15 seconds for “opinion”, and I spend considerably longer to translate “scientific misconduct” without being satisfied.

So I will maintain my hypothesis that speaking a second language, adds an emotional shield by distancing the speaker.

I found myself writing an email to a Norwegian recipient the other day. I wrote in English, despite Danish and Norwegian bokmål being >95% the same.

It waters out our native languages when we do this, and it is, as you say, in favour of bad English. I find even the most English proficient Danish teens lacking in their vocabulary. Pronunciation is good, but they can express themselves.

I’ve given it a fair bit of thought. I think that the kids choose English, because it’s emotionally distancing. Saying something in English doesn’t carry the same weight, as using their mother’s tongue. Simply because they don’t feel the words the same. Occasionally I will catch myself using English for my internal dialogue, especially when I’m thinking about something that causes me emotional distress.

Is this officially the first bad thing to happen to Iceland that isn’t attributed to Denmark? I knew AI was coming to takes all of our jobs, but this is some black mirror level stuff.

Gosh dern astronauts took 'er jobs

Last man standing

But I only needed three more 30 day trials to finish downloading cd2 of the phantom menace cam that I started in 1999…

POV: Be a software developer. It’s 2025. You’re maintaining dialer software for an ISP. The software is written in Delphi or Visual Basic. It’s all you’ve done since 1995. You’ve got 5 years to retirement. Corporate announces end of life for dial up services.

IDK why you’re getting downvoted, a large cargo ship can emit the same amount of co2 as 50 million cars https://maritimepage.com/cargo-ship-co2-emissions/

Perhaps the people downvoting you are the same kind of people without a sense of proportion, who think that turning off an LED light bulb saves the environment.

It could also be that you don’t provide a solution. So here it goes: want to cut co2? Buy locally produced goods. If you live in the northern hemisphere strawberries aren’t in season in January, and it’s a good chance that neither are tomatoes or avocado.

We’re so focused on electronics here, but this part can save your ass:

Bring a small new blank paper note book you can keep in a pocket with a small pen or pencil

The following is translated from the meager tactical training I’ve received: Emphasis on the pencil being small. You definitely don’t want a full size pencil in your pocket if shit hits the fan and you get tumbled.

Maybe get a waterproof notepad. But make sure that you can easily rip out pages. Use a single sheet for all the info you don’t want the police to have (like all the other burner phone numbers and such) That way you can rip that sheet out and swallow it, if you’re about to be captured.

Also, about the scarfs. I don’t know about the US, but at least in my own country, it’s illegal to use a mask at protests. Meaning a mask would get you singled out and targeted by law enforcement.

How about locking all the advanced functions behind a hardware lock that requires an online key to unlock? Besides getting an IP address for geolocation, this approach would enable manufacturers to put a subscription on the features as well. Require users to provide a government issued ID that matches the name on the credit card used.

VPN! I hear you cry. But the driver is already running pretty close to the hardware, so good luck hiding a VPN client.

So while you can’t guarantee a street address accuracy, you can get country and overall regional subdivision.

Only if you pay them

They asked chatGPT for a business plan and it gave them hallucinations and half a business plan for a non-profit coalmining organization.

When I was a kid my dad didn’t properly tie down a lounge chair on the trailer. Although we didn’t lose the chair avoiding a Houthi attack, we did have to go back and pick it up on the highway.

So I can totally relate /s

Thx, for the heads up. The only reason I’m not typing this on a motorola g85 is because I got distracted when I was ordering it. Now I’ve got to search for a different brand.

I did wonder why my client put the word “spoiler” twice, but I already had the picture block and I didn’t want to accidentally put boobs in the comment section, so I just rolled with it.

Good to know, thx

You don’t have people for that?

It is not a Danish island. It’s a country that is part of the Kingdom of Denmark, just like Denmark and the Faroe Islands. A Danish island would be an island in Denmark, like Funen, Ærø, or Bornholm.

Taking Greenland is a kin to taking Scotland from the UK, or Maine from the US of A. They’re autonomous, and trying to buy a country from us really brings up some colonial feelings, that we would much rather be done with.
