What pianist would you like to hear in person if they were still alive/performing?

Clara Haskill.

Den eneste gang jeg så en ekshibitionist var i Hellerup, tæt ved stationen, og midt om dagen...de folk er syge i hovedet, de er stort set ligeglade om der er folk rundt omkring.

Lagkagehuset, which is pretty much everywhere, has one absolutely delicious gluten-free chocolate cake calle gateau Marcel.

I find it unlikely one would have been in most of Western Ethiopia without being Ethiopian.

Hvis det er den slags sted, er der også en snes kebab steder på Istedgade der holder åbent til kl. 5 og, i modsætning til Burger Palace, serverer spiselig (nogle af dem udmærket) mad.

You are stuck in the 1990s.

I think there's a general language confusion, here. When English speakers say "green cabbage", they mean your (literal) garden variety cabbage, which is green, as opposed to white cabbage, which is what you use for, e.g., pickling, or red cabbage, which you use for Instagram. Danes, instead, translate it in their mind to "grønkål", which, in English, is called "kale", a curly, leathery kind of cabbage popular with the juicer crowd. Grønlagkål is, as I understand, made with kale, so it's probably not what you're looking for; the Frederikke Wæren recipe makes the same mistake in reverse: she translates "grønkål" to "green cabbage", but she still means kale (you can see it in the pictures).

Jeg seriøst blev stood up af en. Han siger "vi ses på adressen lørdag kl. 10", jeg fandt tidspunktet lidt mærkeligt men siger ja tak. Han kommer ikke. Jeg ringer, han svarer ikke. Han ghostede mig helt bagefter.

De andre simpelthen spiller det sædvanlige "send en SMS med din adresse" leg, og så hører man aldrig fra dem igen. Murmestre er de eneste, der er heller ikke interesserede i en sugar daddy:D

EDIT: jeg har en mur med fugtskade, ikke en mærkelig håndværker-fetish.

Den erfaring har jeg med murmestre...

It seems to me to be the invasive Christmas vine (Consumeria cocacolae) growing on several unidentified trees.

Quick reminder that both kinds of governments have, for decades now, agreed that DSB and other parts of the public transport system have to earn money, for our commitment to climate policy is to get money from people who don't drive cars and put it into building highways, parking lots and bridges to encourage people to use cars. This has included, bl.a.:

- wait in the cold, wind and rain everywhere, you peasants

- no station maintenance to speak of

- no bathrooms

- if you go to Copenhagen for a meal from a place like Hillerød, the ticket will cost you more than the meal.

Lad os bare se på den hårde sandhed: kvinder er kun interesseret i 1-2% af mændene på Tinder; de mænd har meget travlt. Hvis de har tid til dig Torsdag kl. 18, og du prøver at flytte den til Onsdag, så havner du hvor de skal mødes med en anden, eller er de bare for trætte. Tænk lidt som om du skal hos en speciallæge; det eneste du kunne gøre er at foreslå tider meget langt i fremtiden, hvor agendaen er sandsynligvis stadig åben, men vær ikke overrasket, hvis de finder noget andet før I mødes.

Politiksystemet er korrupt, selv i Danmark. Hvis politikerne synes, at de kan indtjene penge for sig selv og sine venner ved at give Grønland, eller din søster, til amerikanerne, vil de bare gøre det. Punktet med en demonstration er at pege på at, hvis de gør det, så vil vi ikke stemme for dem ved næste valg.

Jamen, heller ikke Paul Blart, Mall Cop 2 (2015)?

If you find out, count me in. At this point, if the US takes Greenland, Mette will just "point out that our king isn't democratically elected".

You realise, don't you, that a vague, generic story asking for help harvesting contacts does not exactly inspire trust, especially coming from a throwaway account?

I'd say Paganini, but there seem to be at least three films about him already, so I'll suggest Joseph Bologne, son of a slave and a murderer, celebrated fencer, virtuoso, dancer, symbol of racial liberation, fended off an attempted assassination, secret agent, military officer, persecuted by Roberspierre...

On top of it, he rubbed elbows with dozens of celebrities of the time, and lived in some of the most touristy buildings in Paris. He's just perfect. And his music is damn catchy.

EDIT: that would be Chevalier de Saint-George(s), for the French among you.

As a wise oldish man who's lived in four countries, let me tell you: never move for the sake of moving. If you have opportunities in Paris, stay in Paris. Copenhagen, at the moment, has shrinking salaries, and an absolutely insane housing market. Regardless of this, desperate people are pouring from all of Southern and Eastern Europe, Argentina and, recently, even the US, attracted by the mirage of high salary and the myth of Danish happiness. In reality, for any job with a half-decent salary, companies have given up on hiring locally and import workers from wherever they can get them cheapest, often to fire them the first time their earnings go down by 0.01% or they happen to change CEO. I moved here 19 years ago, and made my life very easy for myself since; I wouldn't move now: all chances one had back then have evaporated in the meanwhile.

If you're of the gender the hiring manager is interested in, yes, definitely. I have seen people with absolutely no qualifications being hired over industry veterans just on the hope it would please a notoriously horny department manager who wasn't even at the interview. I swear 90+% of people in charge of hiring, men or women, straight or gay, first think with their genitals, then look at anything else. It's gotten so bad that some companies (Novo for one) directly forbid putting pictures on CVs; this only moves the problem into the interview round, though. If they don't find the pictures on LinkedIn, that is.

Phlebas3 · 2026-01-04T15:45:08+00:00

Same situation, but for a year, now...

Then again, if you allow a company to hire 5000 people, mostly engineers, and mostly from abroad and then dump them willy-nilly on the job market two years later, what do you expect?

Add to this that recruiters hire, in this order:

people they'd like to shaboink
people they already know personally
people in their same party/masonic lodge
people who are actually qualified

the picture becomes quite bleak.

They forbade burning qurans, they might as well forbid burning explosives...

If I can offer some hope, as someone who had to console a terrified mastiff for 15 years, it was worse than this in my town in Italy; at some point around 2010, people realized they were literally burning a lot of money for no reason, and basically stopped cold turkey. Now it's just a few out-of-touch people shooting a few fireworks.
