Ugh.

1. You can be a Swede and have a background or name from a different culture.

2. The gang he was leading was working in Sweden, i.e. a Swedish gang.

I somehow missed one of the middle episodes of the first season of House of Cards, and was very surprised at the boldness of having to piece together what had happened between episodes. Very demanding of the viewer.

I did realise my mistake immediately after though.

Why does AI use this beige background color?

"But I think we could do more here in Europe to have a focus on developing new capabilities," Poulsen said, adding that military investments would make it "so that we are not that dependent on the US".

Sounds like he's saying that we're so deeply dependent on the US for now that a screeching halt to our purchasing of US military equipment would de facto dismantle our defences. But that we should work to get out of that dependency.

Men er det ikke generelt en betingelse for livet at man ikke kan styre hvad der bliver bygget på jord man ikke ejer?

Hvad hvis jeg købte grunden ved siden af og byggede et hus? Hvad hvis han synes det er grimt? Hvad hvis det er en stor lejlighedsbygning der stiller sig i vejen for hans udsigt?

They do? This Wikipedia page cites feminists for and against.

My understanding is that feminists are against conscription in general, as it is considered a patriarchal and unfree institution. And because there are many pacificists and leftists among feminists.

But I'd be happy to learn more.

Just like the men. No need to distinguish between the genders on this matter.

TBF imaginary time is a math trick and not something that actually progresses. It lets us apply results from statistical physics to quantum field theory through a Wick rotation.

Does being a Jewish Palestinian somehow make you Israeli? What then if you're a non-Jewish Israeli? 🤔

It's base 20 like in France, plus the quirk that we have an ordinal numeral way of saying half integers, i.e. 1.5 is "half second", 2.5 is "half third", 4.5 is "half fifth". So 92 is said as "two and half fifth times twenty". We've since made the "times twenty" implicit for maximum confusion, so it's just said as "two and half fifths".

Also, the ordinal numeral system for halves is only really used for 1.5 these days, so the numbers don't really make sense to anyone. When speaking to other Scandinavians, we often just say "nine ten two".

Why don't we just change it to the more sensible system then? Because language is stubborn.
