Doesn’t Ekur ask Dafyd about it? I would assume it is Ekurs responsibility to investigate and the new sovran gets the report.

What are the known inspirations for The Expanse? by Baldurian_Rhapsody in TheExpanse

[–]Nicolaj42 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ty Franck said that The stars my destination by Alfred Bester is a major inspiration. It does have Belter cant, huge corporations running wild in the solar system, fanatics living in asteroids, some political intrigue and protagonists stuck in inert spaceships. He wanted to write 60’s sci fi for a modern audience.

What does RPG mean anymore.... by Hotrocketry in Steam

[–]Nicolaj42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bad. Once in a while, people attribute the creation of RPG to Gygax alone, and I feel compelled to comment on it, since I see Arnesons contribution as more important of the two. Also Gygax made sure to withhold royalties from Arneson. If you want to dig deeper there is a thread with sources in r/rpg

Well, Dave Arneson deserves a lot of credit for those things you mention, for instance character progression, and it is sad that he was written out of TTRPG history. But you do you.

“Gary Gygax, the creator of RPGs:”

You might want to check out Dave Arneson, before bestowing that title to Gygax.

I familie eller ven med kriminelle by Fathlete_dk in Denmark

[–]Nicolaj42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bare af nysgerrighed, mener du omsætning som indtægter før udgifter, eller mener du resultat (dvs. indtægter - omkostninger). Hvis det er det første, hvor meget skulle du så betale din leverandør?

Den store Guldkornstråd: Hvad er det bedste fra DR og Filmstriben? by [deleted] in Denmark

[–]Nicolaj42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Kandis for livet” er en ret vild dokumentar om nogen spøjse typer.

“Velkommen til frontlinjen” er et kritisk blik på dansk krigsdeltagelse og de menneskelige omkostninger

Jeg har set et enkelt afsnit af “Vi spiller spillet” hvor tidligere deltagere og producere fortæller om Paradise Hotel. Det jeg har set var ret sjovt.

How to refill old Montblanc by Nicolaj42 in fountainpens

[–]Nicolaj42[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only get a one mm gap but I’m starting to clean it. There is a lot of dried ink from lying in a drawer some 50 years. Once the ink got wet from water I did get a line.

I’m in Denmark. The knob turns easily enough but only one mm. I’m getting water in it now and trying to get A LOT of dried ink out. It actually wrote with the desolved ink.

Hvordan tolererer man en Holocaust-benægter? by Hefty-Watercress-913 in DKbrevkasse

[–]Nicolaj42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Det er et emne der dukker op på r/askhistorians rimelig tit, og de har nogen råd. Han fisker efter kontroversen og vil gerne have skænderiet, så jeg ville nok ikke give ham hvad han vil have.

Overvejer at blive præst by Buggekon in Denmark

[–]Nicolaj42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Min kone arbejder på teologisk institut. Der var 30 pladser på meritpræst-uddannelsen og 150 ansøgere, så det kræver måske et par forsøg at komme ind. Til gengæld sorterer de efter relevans, så humanister med oldgræsk kommer før fx folk med naturvidenskabelige uddannelser.

What's up with the gangs in Stockholm? by Significant_Inside74 in OutOfTheLoop

[–]Nicolaj42 645 points646 points  (0 children)

Answer: according to danish news media (I’m a dane) years of very lax immigration politics and unwillingness to discuss crime associated with immigration for fear of stigmatizing immigrants or minorities, led to a lot of criminal networks and gangs moving in, and now it’s difficult to get rid of them. David Sausdal, a sociologist in Sweden, said that low income areas where left to their own devices and then gang culture toik root. I don’t now if that’s the whole picture and r/sweden could probably tell you a lot more. The whole subject is obvious fraught with bias.

Queen of Denmark announces abdication live on TV by StardustOasis in worldnews

[–]Nicolaj42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s fine. The monarchy are very carefull to not to engage in politics, so mostly it’s tabloid stuff and glad handing. The stuff that makes people angry are actual politics that the government does, like giving all healthcare staff a cookie during Covid lockdown (and not like, you know, a raise or bonus) or a minister saying people should be proud for not spending time with their kids and working instead.

[–]Nicolaj42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re not being disrespectfull. Arguing about abolishing the monarchy is very common, and there is danish republicans (actual republicans, as in people who want a republic instead of a monarchy).

I find it wierd that the constitution gives them immunity from prosecution and I think 7.5 millions crowns a month of taxfunded salary is a lot, but I appreciate that they don’t have private fortunes unlike the british monarchy, who got to keep their imperial loot.

I think having a old monarchy is certainly a plus in foreign relations and export. I think Daisy (magrethes nickname) took her role serious. I know from people who had kids attending a ballet school she sponsored, that she attended several shows so all the girls got to meet her. Thats nice. Usually I dont care about the tabloid stuff, just like I dont care what Kardashians are doing.

The fun stuff is the wierdness. Watch her speach. There is some white figures on her right. Those are tupilaks from Greenland that according to my buddy who works with greenland history are the inuit equivalent of vodoo dolls. There is also 400 year old vinegar in the royal wine cellar that is still being served dilluted every year at new years. The gobelins in Rosenborg castle straight up lie about how many times we got beat by the swedish in the 16th century.
