Good question!

So is Denmark, but as a F Dane, I’m still slightly disappointed.

That sounds fun! Please share link if you can find it🙂

I’m all for eating the rich but this fucker looks rancid.

As good a time as any to post this classic Peter serafinowicz clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IDmSnD2pzc&t=43

What happened to Hugh?

Denmark is switching to the EU standard plug too, like Germany and Sweden, I think it’s mandatory in new housing.

I checked too before I saw your comment, I can confirm.

Durability, battery life, repairability.

I’ve started reading The Culture novels by Iain M. Banks. It’s space opera on a much larger scale than The Expanse, but I’m thoroughly entertained .

I think they mention the contents at some point, but I don’t remember.

Those pills have pretty much the same colour as the food cubes in Farscape…

In Denmark it’s on plastic, aluminum, glass, pretty much anything that can be recycled.

I’m still confused.

What is “a SWELL”?

I had a friend about 25 years ago who was very much into Quake Arena. His gaming setup ran on BSD. Now that I’ve been gaming on Linux for several years, I’ve really come to appreciate how much work it must have been to get that setup running smoothly in the late 90s. He died a couple of years ago. I sometimes wish I could call him up and get some advice.

for some countries, they do Christmas Day on the 24th. Poland for instance tends to have the big family get together dinner on the 24th.

It’s the same in Denmark, I wonder if it’s a Northern European thing? I think Poland is mostly Catholic whereas Denmark is Lutheran protestant, so it’s not just denomination.

Some of these, especially Valentine’s day, could also be labeled “commercial” but I guess that’s the nature of capitalism to commercialize any kind of festivities.

Totally. I always think of this when people say Muslims overreact about drawings of their prophet or people burning their holy book. There were protests in the streets and famous Catholics like Pesci and Madonna attacked O’Connor in the press. Madonna, it seemed, was even more frustrated because this thing completely removed the attention from her new album that came out around the same time.

Edit: Madonna playing the prude was a nice touch.

very much like they picked up schoolgirls from school for Russell brand to be brought back to his flat.

Is this what happened with Russell Brand? I just heard he was a sexual predator, not that it was schoolgirls. It’s insane that the BBC didn’t get any wiser after Saville. It should be easy: don’t hire known pervs and definitely don’t let them use your stuff to abuse children.
