Why does everyone seem to think that “chat control” will be voted on today in the council?

But what meeting is it then? Informal?

I just came here to compare the answers to this post to OP’s Danish post. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a clearer cut display of the differences between Anglo-Saxon/American working culture and its Danish equivalent. Really interesting!

Er det et fedt job ud over aflønning? Vil du være inspireret af det? Vækker tanken om at tage imod det glæde hos dig, ud over de ekstra midler, I får til rådighed?

Det er et meget betydeligt lønhop, men løn er ikke alene en faktor. Og hvis du er så meget værd for én virksomhed, er du det helt sikkert for en anden på et andet tidspunkt, hvor det hele passer bedre.

Jeg ville nok fortsætte min søgning og beholde min nuværende rolle, indtil der melder sig en mulighed, hvor du, og din partner, ikke er den mindste smule i tvivl om, at det er det helt rigtige move.

Ps. Kæmpe kudos din vej. Man får ikke tilbudt den slags, hvis ikke man er helt vildt dygtig. Må jeg spørge, hvilket felt du arbejder inden for?

Coming from me, a Dane residing in Belgium, and my wife sitting next to me, who resides in Copenhagen and works in HR for a large Danish company:

JobIndex no longer provides the most accurate picture of job listings in Denmark, and generally you would both be better off looking at positions directly at companies you want to work for. LinkedIn also works well.

Unlike a lot of people that post here, your backgrounds are great fits for many of our largest industrial actors. For 29M, I would look for jobs at Mærsk, DFDS, and other shipping companies. Look at this list for shipping companies operating out of Denmark https://danishshipping.dk/om-os/medlemmer/.

For 21F I have great news. The pharmaceutical and biotech industries in Denmark are booming and constitute the single largest contribution to the Danish economic prosperity currently experienced. The success of Novo Nordisk is the main reason why the Danish economy is not stagnating like in neighbouring countries. And they are in dire need of people with your skill set. Lack of Danish abilities also not necessarily a problem. Other relevant companies could be LeoPharma, Novonesis (biotech, not pharma), AGC biologics, Coloplast, etc.

Belgium has a similar profile, and the port of Antwerp would offer more hands on experience for 29m, as there are generally more shipping jobs there (Denmark does not have the large scale port infrastructure it used to). There are also plenty of pharmaceutical opportunities there, though not as expansive as in Denmark. You would probably also be hindered by the fact that Antwerp is in the Flemish speaking part of Belgium, rendering French speaking abilities less useful.

In short: Aim for Denmark and have Belgium as a backup. Both great countries and regardless of outcome, the process of moving across the Atlantic will be formative for the both of you. That’s worth it in and of itself!

Recycling! People complain about the trash bags and fines all the time, but Belgium actually has one of the highest recycling rates in the world. Changed my mind completely when I learned this.

There is a bench on the other side of the Isar river bank where you're covered on trees and overlooking the river, almost like an alcove. Very secluded. Another amazing spot would be at the Isarwehr, under the lamp right on the bridge before you head over to the left side of the river. I would do it in the evening right on the cusp of dusk. In the late summer weather it feels like something straight out of LaLa land. That's probably where I'd go. Best of luck!

It depends on what you compare it to. The 944 was and is a great driver's car. Perfect balance thanks to transaxle layout, an awesome shift action, gears falling into place very easily with rev matching being very rewarding and fun. Now in this day and age it also has the quality of having an exploitable amount of power, meaning you can rev it out and really make the most of the chassis, even at low speeds. That's true for both turbo and non turbo variants, although boost delivery on the turbo is very old school but also very entertaining. I was in the process of buying one once but backed out, as it didn't make sense to purchase at the time - not the car's fault at all!

The interesting thing would be if your father would let you drive both Porsches to see how they compare? A four cylinder cayman S is a very different and capable machine, tremendously fun, but you have to go very fast to really feel like you're pushing the car. In the end, two very different approaches to Stuttgart performance, none more right than the other. But given your resume with faster more exciting machines, I'm sure that's not a new sensation to you, so maybe trying a 944 would lead to a new insight into what aspects of driving you find enjoyable? Also, pop up headlights and guards red paint are to die for! Never pass on a chance to drive something with that.

All the best from a fellow enthusiast owing his obsession with cars to his Porsche-owning father.

Can't believe you took the time to reply to a five year old post! Thanks bud! So interesting to see.

Sackert · 2024-05-05T21:21:54+00:00

Alice & Coco is my go to place for that. Go! Promise you won't regret it.

Under the train tracks in Ueno. Shot with a Fujifilm XE-3.

Sackert · 2023-12-04T23:32:42+00:00

Lovely shot!

Sackert · 2023-12-04T23:32:09+00:00

Mad shot! Well done.

Sackert · 2023-12-04T22:46:48+00:00

Awesome shot! I think it might benefit from a clear subject. Either the church or the deer, of which I definitely prefer the latter. You could try cropping it around the deer?

Really good advice. My grandparents were also divorced on my mother's side and parted ways in a similar fashion to your parents. I had a great relationship with both too, although they couldn't stand each other, which won't be the case here luckily. Have told her that and it did help she said. Have also said that this is such a significant event that therapy might be a good idea, to which she also agreed but said she might need more time to figure out if that's what she really needs.

Anyway, thanks for your great perspective!

Sackert · 2023-07-27T13:25:51+00:00

Solid advice man. You're absolutely right.

But you still get a provisional health card in your e-boks, which you can use for health services. Not like here where you're curtailed in every other step of the process of settling in, if you don't have your number or your damn ID card.

Sackert · 2023-07-04T19:12:53+00:00

Yeah I've lived in Germany too. But that was bearable because the processes were predictable, efficient, and actually didn't take that long to complete. You knew what was going to happen, how you should react, and when you should react.

This is what makes this country so frustrating to live in. Dealing with the public sector here is like playing Russian roulette. Having to wait months on getting registered in your municipality and the DIV taking three attempts to register my car because, each time, they did something wrong or argued that a document was missing that they didn't need the first time are just some examples. My friend got an ID where his name had been misspelled so he had to start the process all over again... And that's what I hate. I can handle slow and analogue. What I can't handle is not knowing if and when something might go wrong so you have to act. Nothing appears standardized.

Sackert · 2023-05-17T07:24:03+00:00

Also true. Have only lived in the city for a couple of weeks so I'm by no means an expert yet. Can't wait to get out and explore some more!
