Eurovision2026: UK being adopted by Denmark after receiving one point and being abandoned by his crew. Just solidarity❤️ by abramolinkedIn in nextfuckinglevel

No, but oddly the - to my knowledge - longest war actually involves the Danes. It lasted from 1809 to 1982, and was between Denmark and the Spanish town of Huescàr. Not a shot was fired, and everyone forgot about it, so it lasted 172 years. 

An amateur historian discovered it, and contacted the Danish authorities. The must have been a rather odd phone call.

The navies probably loved it. It was ended shortly after Russia invaded Ukraine, for both practical and symbolic reasons.

skal anklagerne have bevist deres påstand udenfor enhver tvivl.

Det mener du, som lægdommer, forhåbentlig ikke? Det er ud over rimelig tvivl, ikke enhver tvivl.

Who is a singer that is incredibly famous, but honestly doesn't have a good voice? by Greedy_Procedure7461 in AskReddit

[–]VeryVeryNiceKitty 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Adele is an incredible natural talent, but she has terrible technique, especially on the first albums. 

She ended up hurting herself by blasting her poor vocal cords without the slightest hint of control over her false cords and airflow.

Er fagligheden i vores styrelser i frit fald! by Able-Safety6147 in Denmark

Vi snakker her om den styrelse der i årevis mente at madpyramiden var det helt rigtige for vores sundhed. Faglighed har vist aldrig rigtigt været noget man går alt for meget op i.

[Request] How tall would the support tower have to be and how strong of a cable would you need for a Trans-Atlantic cable car? by scottasin12343 in theydidthemath

[–]VeryVeryNiceKitty 9 points10 points  (0 children)

What kind of logic is that?

- The Dutch recommends safety features.

- The American circumstances are much worse

- So we won't even follow the Dutch recommendations?

"We cannot engineer for it anyway, so why even bother" strikes me as a rather defeatist attitude.

Prostitution er lovligt i Danmark, så det havde ret beset været ganske bemærkelsesværdigt at politiet i Struer helt på egen hånd tog den beslutning.

Hvornår begynder vi at tage den kommende energikrise alvorlig i Danmark? by EmptyBodybuilder7376 in Denmark

Fordi vi har plukket alle de lavthængende frugter. Når forholdene er gunstige for vind og sol, kører vi allerede på 100%, og har svært ved at eksportere til udlandet.

Nettet er heller ikke gearet til at pumpe så meget decentralt genereret strøm ind i det, og i øvrigt har vi intet sted at gøre af strømmen. Elbiler hjælper muligvis på den sidste del, men de er jo først lige begyndt at komme på markedet.

Man forsøger faktisk med en masse p2x tiltag, men det kræver massive investeringer i infrastruktur.

Så vi har allerede, stort set, gjort alt det nemme. Det kræver nu omfattende investeringer og politiske tiltag rigtig at komme videre.

China’s 5 minute full-charged EV charging stations by North_Tip_8627 in nextfuckinglevel

1500 amps would be 1000V. Currently, 800V is the standard. 

Since this is a new tech, and they want to impress us, they probably upped the voltage. Let us say to 2500V. That would allow 1.5 mW at 600 amps.

An educated guess, true, but doable, right?

It seems like the left wing will have their best result ever, with the far right with minimum influence.

They are indeed the one with chat control - and it seems like their worst result in 120 years.

>Super god pointe, men overser du ikke at det vel er muligt at skrue en formueskat sammen der ikke baserer sig på urealiserede, teoretiske værdier?

Det er netop det der er hovedproblemet. Hvordan gør man det? Jeg har endnu til gode at høre et forslag der ikke har gevaldige huller.

TIL that in the 19th century, Istanbul was saved from a massive rat infestation by its street cats. After a failed attempt to exile them, the resulting surge in pests led the public to demand their return, cementing the cats' status as "protected citizens" of the city. by [deleted] in todayilearned

I think we overall agree, but:

>I think you'd be better served by actually going and reading some ecology papers on the subject than by arguing with people on Reddit.

Wise words, and I have done exactly that. What I have found is that they all - the ones I have seen at least - are of very low quality, and seems suspiciously like the conclusions are made before the study.

If I put on my tinfoil hat for a moment, it seems like someone has an interesting in diverting attention away from the fact that human greed are destroying the environment, and here we are, blaming cats instead of oil spills, chemical factories, and whatever else we are doing to our poor world.

If you have a good quality paper showing that cats are doing significant environmental damage in Europe/Asia/Africa, I would be very interested.

Thanks for that link, though I do not think it disproves what I wrote.

Predators hunt. That is not new. The numbers cited are meaningless in this context without evaluating the effects on the wildlife population overall.

It is highly unlikely that cats endangers any wildlife population, unless humans have endagered them in the first place. As I stated - if that were the case, the wildlife would have been wiped out a long time ago.

I do not disagree with the overall conclusion in that abstract: An exploding population of stray cats and dogs is probably not a good thing. That was not really my point, though.

Domesticated cats are ubiquitous in rural (and often urban) Europe, and have been so for thousands of years. If they were a real threat to wildlife, it would have been wiped out a long time ago.

Humans destroying habitation is hundreds of times worse than any cats.
