Not faster than south Korea right?

It sounds like they’re using MitID, the Danish government personal verification software. It’s completely ubiquitous here, and it’s linked to your CPR number (like a social security number but more functional).

The apps, as far as I understand it, won’t know anything other than “yes they verified they’re over 18” from MitID.

I understand and definitely feel the surveillance fear, but this feels well worth it to me for less brainwashing of children by companies like Twitter and FB

I’m an American who lives in Europe now, and it’s pretty rare that people don’t understand that I condemn what the US is doing now. A few people who have no idea who have some brain dead hot takes, but for the most part it’s met with understanding

Oh holy shit that isn’t satire

I was just jokingly rederiving a train instead. I think automated cars is mostly really silly

The safety systems would work perfectly if the cars could communicate, or more robustly if they could be mechanically linked together for the “easy” (highway) portion of the drive. Imagine a lane with nose to tail cars all doing exactly the same thing. At exits (predefined stops) you could get off to change or stay on the same one. Put a little station there with bathrooms and food.

Maybe we could even replace that highway lane with steel tracks and the tires with steel wheels for lower friction.

Damn you just always re-derive the train

At night?

We use less power at night. We generate a LOT less power at night. Because the sun is off for the most part.

Your mentality is old school. We have often more need at night than during the day for non renewable electricity right now

This is a very old school and outdated mentality.

In my part of the EU this year, we had very very many days of negative sale prices and having to curtail wind parks because just solar and wind were making up more than demand during the day. Afaik we only curtailed at night one time.

I used to have a drive to work, and it suckkkkkkkkkked. I moved, and can now cycle to work or take a nice train. I suddenly do not mind my 30 minute commute at all. I look forward to my bike ride most of the time, and I love the feeling after having done it.

Idk what the OG comment was but I’m American and live in Denmark and absolutely no one has even accused me of being trumpy or even been negative that I’m American. More so its “oh so sorry your country is a shit show and wow how terrible for your friends and family still there”

People are pretty well educated here and understand that half of Americans fucking hate what’s going on

Yup! Anti foreigner/immigration, stripping benefits like welfare, focus on military, all the usual suspects.

However the name for the alt-right in Japan is ネット右翼 which is basically Internet Rightists. I like that term because social media is like the only way you’d come up with views this cruel. No one who has touched grass could possibly

I was hoping this would come up in this thread.

She’s stood by him through his sexual harassment allegations (that seem basically undeniably true). Which I find at least interesting, considering he left his first family for the Spice

Plus they’re helping continue to push EU regulations towards repairability. The premium going to that is fine by me

I’m sad that the battery swap requires a screwdriver, but it’s really fine. As long as it’s not glued in I don’t care honestly.

The modular back is cool, specs look nice, lighter and smaller than my FP5 is a great thing, cuz this thing is heavy and the battery is mid.

It looks cool! Good direction I think. Of course I want a headphone jack, but I am learning to live without

It’s just a buzzword volly to get people to want to surrender more data. Actually insane premise lmao

Imagine if you landed a job in Europe from a European company. You’d definitely not be able to go back

I agree that immigration is a big part of fixing this.

I think if the population (replacement rate )declines too swiftly, you have a lot of old people and few young people. At some point it become exponentially harder to even keep your last generation’s replacement rate, and you have spiraling population decline. See South Korea for the Speedrun.

If Japan steadily declines to 80M it could be fine. If Japan goes to 80M in a generation, that’s very very bad for the chances of there being any Japanese people left in a few more generations

Yeah, I totally get it! Very big difference to anyone with half a brain. But the current GOP could easily be seeing it as a checkbox instead of a huge reason for his winning the 1932 election
