Det vil være mærkeligt for en politisk regering at indføre en religiøs helligdag.

Jeg skal ikke bede den dag.

Giv os hellere en ekstra dag i ferieloven, så vi selv kan bestemme hvornår den skal afholdes.

Jeg kender godt problemet, men det er udelukkende fordi min arbejdsgiver ikke kan finde ud af at læse ferieloven.

Yes, the kids will be alright.

Mine are that age, so I see a lot of them through their school and activities. They’re not that different from what we were at that age.

It would be nice to read a more in-depth presentation of the project.

Wikipedia to the rescue:

Five nights at Freddy’s is a media franchise that includes games and movies. It’s a horror story about a pizza place that has teddy bear like robots who are also ghosts of children.

It is or was popular among preteens for a while. It’s somewhat similar to Poppy Playtime, with the characters being used all over tik-tok and Roblox etc.

I have no idea nor desire to know how it makes any sense as porn, or why any adult would even want to create that kind of content.

Depends on the cause.

If you’re protesting against anchovies on pizzas, sure, it might be a bad idea to block the roads.

If you’re protesting against unidentified terrorists abducting and killing your neighbors, then you should obstruct the roads to stop them from proceeding with their genocide.

You won’t be rewarded for being obedient. They’ll come for you next whether or not you followed their law.

But whatever…now we know why the Germans didn’t stop the concentration camps in WW2 even if they knew about them: They had to go to work and didn’t want to obstruct traffic.

It would be nice if the banks stopped to trying to kill the local payment providers for a start.

In Denmark we’ve had Dankort since 1983, which is free for the consumers to have and use, and it’s very cheap volume based pricing for merchants.

However in the past 10 years or so, the banks have been pushing businesses and customers to use VISA/Mastercard. These are not free. The consumers pay an annual fee, and the merchants pay very high transaction fees. Yet the payment providers and banks sell the lie that they are somehow cheaper, even if they’re not. A lot of small businesses trust their banks or the payment providers to give them a good deal.

By now, it’s basically necessary for consumers to have some kind of foreign card, because so many businesses have stopped accepting Dankort. Most banks don’t even offer a “clean” Dankort anymore. They only have dual cards, where the Dankort and VISA are on the same card, which removes the choice from the consumer, since the businesses will charge the VISA. Many businesses don’t even understand what cards they accept. I always ask if they accept Dankort if the sign isn’t visible, and they think they do, but they don’t.

The story is almost the same for the instant payment systems. The banks are the ones who fucked it up, while fighting for and clinging to control of the domestic market, by confusing the customers and businesses and pushing their own limited product.

It’s long overdue for the EU to decide on a union wide solution. They’re already on it, but it’s way too slow or hindered by the political desire for this to be a private market. It really shouldn’t be.

Yeah, that’s what I mean. 90% of people would be wrong.

This is what it looks like on the back:

Don’t be a gramour Nazi.

Absolutely, but it isn’t up to their employers to punish them.

Resignation is often used in these kinds of cases, because there’s really no framework to fire them, since they didn’t actually violate any of the terms on which they’re hired. They should be tried for the crimes they’ve committed under the jurisdiction of the place where the crime was committed. Not in some random board meeting in a different country.

What happens is that the board says “even if you didn’t violate our terms or any local laws, we don’t see our organization being able to work with someone like you, so we urge you to do what is best for both parts, which is that you resign voluntarily.”

If they don’t, then the board can say “the existence of potential criminal cases against you can harm the reputation of our organization, so now you’re fired.” The outcome is almost the same, but this could create a lot more negative attention to what the company knew about.

Three wise men decided to stop by for no reason.

If someone posted how it actually works, it would probably get upvoted, because the real explanation is more exotic than what most people think.

The fan is connected to a small electric engine, powered by an electronic device in between the top and bottom parts. This device runs on fediverse upvotes.

Put a cloth iron on top and leave it running.

I think the point could be stated more clearly by only using the bottom picture.

The snow that is scraped from the road is dirty, while the snow from the pavement is … less dirty. It might be dirt or exhaust or whatever. Roads and pavements are just filthy.

More interestingly, if you live in a place where the piles don’t thaw quickly, you can watch the road side of the snow getting progressively more dirty from the ongoing exhaust even if the road is not scraped afterwards. At the end of the season, the roadside snow piles will look charcoal black. It’s most noticable at crossings where cars run the engines at red light. Had it all been just dirt, it would look the same everywhere along the road, but it doesn’t.

“AI first company”? What does it even mean?

Why can’t they just be a gay dating app that makes use of AI?

The word “first” implies that AI is going to the primary focus.

So, they want to change their core business from being a gay dating app to being an AI company?

With explanations like “AI is not a specific feature”, I have to wonder what makes them think their company is able to do anything competitive in the already saturated AI market.

And then use the solar panels to power a water boiler.

Remember to say toodle-oo like an old lady while waving.

I’ll have you know that I put my entire OS installation on a broken USB stick that I found on a parking lot.

The plastic case keeps falling off, but it works fine.

Would you believe anyone who told you?

Because that would be the actual problem.

An almighty God doesn’t need humans or churches to spread the story.
