Our US one when we lived there: 1960s

Our Danish one now: 17… 50s? 60s? It’s hard to know

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

Live, or citizen? I kept hearing citizen not resident

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

In something like Denmark’s case, I could see an argument. In the US? Rich people pay nearly nothing, so I think forcing them to pay taxes is a slam dunk

I hate this argument.

If they’re not paying their fair share of taxes then leaving is beneficial. It’s like saying “yeah but if you ask the thieves to pay for their stolen goods they might leave the store”

I used to have to pull an all nighter 1-2 times per week for a terrible job I had. Typically 26-30 hours, so not quite the big one you’re looking at.

If you’re in a car for part of it, or otherwise idle, take some naps! A few 20 min naps will completely revitalize you for some time. Apart from that, light physical and mental stimulation goes a long way

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

I have done a bunch of runs each update and I do kinda wish I did what you did.

You’re gonna be blown away by how much more there is already!

No.

I live in Denmark but used to live in the US. I see a LOT of the Danish flag around (Dannebrog 🇩🇰) but it’s a lot less nationalistic. The level of “I love my country” is a bit weird but it’s the “it’s the best country and all others suck and wish they were us” that’s incomprehensible.

I think David Cross said something like this:

If you’re in Europe and someone tells you how your country sucks and isn’t free, you know they’re American

Yeah I don’t see those are negative honestly. The send missions inflated the numbers and I don’t love that you can get locked out of stuff easily but it’s totally fine

I loved FFTA and have replayed it multiple times. I’ve played FFTA2 some as well, which was definitely not as good.

I thought A was much better than the original. I didn’t even know it was “not good”

We often toast in the language of the liquid we’re drinking

Hm, I was gonna agree but I do like the Sonic movies. Half live action, half CGI. Speed racer was a gem, too.

Ost - Danish

Man, this was really weird to read at first.

“Schadenfreude is banned” by itself is a strange statement, but posts that are just schadenfreude is a great ban for this community. Thanks mods!

We live in not-our-native-language country, and I try to fail at using the local language multiple times per day. If it’s an easy convo and I succeed it doesn’t count for me.

It’s nice, pushes my language use out of its comfort zone. And when I fail I apologize and try to regroup. Definitely has resulted in some miscommunication lol but it’s gotten me far fast.

I’ve seen so many people here who know a LOT and are so scared to use it since it won’t be “right”

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

Anyone have good Sherpa/mountaineering documentary recommendations?

Legal things would be a mess.

Your visa is valid until the end of the month. Halfway through the day?
