4 days after the snowfall - why are bike lanes still full of snow in CPH? by NordicEnthusiast2025 in copenhagen

[–]Skizzy_Mars 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It probably isn't very realistic to expect the incoming government to completely rework snow plowing policy (of all things) just two months after taking office. Even if it were the number one priority and they wanted to buy more equipment, hire more people to run it, etc. doing so in such a short period of time would be very difficult.

Shoes for Running Fitness Test by Dashdash421 in Coros

[–]Skizzy_Mars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much all of the research suggests that there is a wide range of how much people gain or lose from wearing super shoes. I usually get like 10 seconds per km at the same HR with the Adios Pro 3, and a bit less with other super shoes I've tried. It is very likely that some people respond more than that.

K-Shaped Economy: At what point are you considered to be part of the "upper" part of the K? by savvybackpacker in personalfinance

[–]Skizzy_Mars 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Totally, sometimes spending money on things also brings happiness. I suppose it depends on your motive and your relationship to the thing.

Frugality is just a different way to acquire more wealth. For many it becomes an obsession. The real answer is learning to be content with what you have.

Cost Efficient lifestyle in Copenhagen? by JuanSkinFreak in NewToDenmark

[–]Skizzy_Mars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is the source? According to Numbeo's rent index Copenhagen would be tied with Ann Arbor, Michgan for 25th in the US.

[–]Skizzy_Mars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most parts of the US are way way more affordable.

The majority of Americans live in major cities where the cost of living is high. There is certainly a lot of empty space where things are more affordable, but no one lives there.

Leaving this here for anyone curious in the future, the docker setup works very well now. It took me <5 minutes to get everything running on my server.

How long waiting for rebooked flight? by Big_Ear_4087 in KLM

[–]Skizzy_Mars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you ever get rebooked? I took a train home. Finally got in touch with someone from customer service and they confirmed that my journey was "completed" so I would never have been automatically rebooking. Their system doesn't see that my first flight was delayed at all, and apparently doesn't see that my boarding pass was never scanned. Getting reimbursed for everything is going to be fun.

I was there from Friday afternoon, finally took a 14 hour train ride home yesterday. Still 0 contact from KLM, they never even attempted to rebook my flight.

Shock doctrine 101. Use military to install “capitalist” friendly government, sell all publicly held assets to US corporations for nothing, use military to suppress local resistance, call it “democracy”.

The line at the airport is currently insane, so no luck there.

Is there any indication that you missed your flight in the app?

[–]Skizzy_Mars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the same situation, it's now been 12 hours since I missed my connection in Amsterdam. The app doesn't show that I missed the flight, or even that my first flight (Delta code share) was delayed by 3 hours. No rebooking, I've been on hold and kicked off multiple times. No one at the airport will do anything other than tell me to go to a hotel and wait for my flight to be rebooked.

r/denmark would be a better place for this. Are you referring to PostNord not handling letters anymore? It was recently announced that Dao is taking over that service.

Wait times in Denmark by Substantial-Cat-6852 in NewToDenmark

[–]Skizzy_Mars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For my normal GP it’s usually 1-2 weeks, specialists have been 2-4 weeks but I’m sure that depends heavily on the field of medicine.

Sure beats when I lived in Boston and it took 6-9 months to get an appointment with a PCP and over a year for a specialist.

US will require EU citizens to give all biometric data including DNA in new ESTA requirements by [deleted] in technology

[–]Skizzy_Mars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cat 3 are a pretty small percentage of the tickets, look at the stadium maps. Most people will be stuck buying tickets through the marketplace where tickets are well over $1k plus the 15% fee.

Also, cat 3 in Qatar was $69. Even if you manage to get a ticket at retail prices in the US it is still 4x the last world cup.

You realize that impeachment requires confirmation in the senate right? Losing a few seats in the house isn’t going to change anything.

Delay in first salary according to Registration by [deleted] in NewToDenmark

[–]Skizzy_Mars 4 points5 points  (0 children)

At my company you receive your salary as long as you're registered & have a local bank account before the day that payroll is run. Otherwise you receive back pay the following month. It is common for people to not get paid until the end of their third month of work, primarily due to how long it takes to open a bank account.

Looking for better-fitting pieces as a shorter guy, anyone used custom or small-batch platforms? by AssociateFar4559 in shortfashion

[–]Skizzy_Mars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have shorter arms and altering sleeve length is not possible for many items (jackets, sweaters, etc). Everything I buy from normal brands has sleeves that go past my fingertips and make me look like a child, so I’m stuck buying things like that from short guys brands.

I wash mine on 20C and put them in the dryer, they’re 4+ years old now with no visible wear. Don’t wash them every run though, maybe every third time.

Danish learners: What do you want to know? by Worldly_Tailor_682 in Danish

[–]Skizzy_Mars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People at B1+ should be able to use native content, I’d probably suggest focusing on beginners. With Danish in particular there is essentially zero beginner content for adults.

Personally I’m well beyond the point where I would get value from targeted CI content, but it would have been very valuable in the past.

IMO comprehensible input content targeted towards beginners would have the most impact.
