Genocide?

I've only heard him talk about being respectful to everyone.

I like my coffee strong, and a few days ago I put too much in the filter so it went over the edge when it started brewing. That clogged the hole where it was supposed to run out through at the bottom, causing it all to flow over the side instead. From there it went to the front edge the table, and into all the drawers except the very bottom one.

I also don't have a dishwasher... That was an annoying cleanup.

Don't forget the other one mentioned in the article. Pete Buttigieg has my support all the way, but I'm Danish...

That was Musks plan for the Tesla factories and such, but he had to give up on much of the automation plans.

Machines are too bad at handling deviations from standard measurements or accidents, and the delays these things can cause when there aren't many people on the site means that the savings on labor quickly gets eaten up.

Also, if Firefox sends me to a Google search instead of the web page I typed in the address bar as much as a single time, I'm switching to something else.

I've been using Firefox for about 25 years.

One would have thought that he at least talked a bit with Elon about his experiences with the topic.

I have experience with designing manufacturing equipment, and it really isn't as easy as you may think.

Jeg er ret overbevist om at routeren bare ser den som endnu en computer der er sluttet på netværket, og at det ikke kræver noget specielt af routeren.

Kig efter en NAS - network assisted storage.

Jeg var selv KFUM'er lidt nord for Esbjerg, og der var ikke nogen religion indblandet i det. Det var ting som knob, bål, bygning af tårne af rafter, og kanosejlads.

Same here.

I learned to read at 3, and taught myself English before starting in school by reading all the text I came across on my Amiga, recognizing words that were similar to the Danish ones and slowly picking up more and more.

I also got a My Little Professor at 3, a reverse calculator that gave problems to solve. My mom taught me addition, subtraction and multiplication, and my mothers "subtraction is the opposite of addition" was enough for me to figure division out. I did the hardest problems in all four categories in my head, with numbers with up to 4 digits, before starting in school too.

I never did homework in school, only things that had to be turned in. I always had my hand up in class, because my innate curiosity and mental capacity meant that I could figure things out as the questions were written on the blackboard. The lax attitude stuck. *Edit: It wasn't because I didn't try to get things that required more work from me. I always asked for harder problems when doing work in class, because I always finished the problems we were given to do while in class and finish as homework before the class was done.

My biggest problem growing up was bullying. I didn't share interests with hardly any of my classmates, since I was at least 3 years ahead of them in my mental development. My best friend was 10 years old when I was 7, and he and I played Magic together because his classmates couldn't figure it out. My glasses, small stature, and the fact that I changed schools twice didn't help.

Jeg synes nu ikke det er så galt. Vi har en mere lige indkomstfordeling end Norge, og meget mere lige end Sverige:

Vi skal også passe på med at skubbe de dygtigste ud af landet.

Well, the taxes we have here in Denmark are quite high. We either have the fourth highest rate of tax compared to GDP or the highest, depending on which source you go by. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_states_by_tax_revenue_to_GDP_ratio

The thing is just that taxes means that the money gets spent directly on improving the lives of the people who live here, instead of people having to buy stuff like health care through companies that skim off the top, and who uses the money you pay them to employ people who try to find ways to not help you.

Taxes helps ensure that everything runs efficiently. A healthier population who are more productive, infrastructure that prevents disruptions to business and daily lives alike, and ensuring that people don't have to resort to crime if they lose their job or get ill. Crime is another source of inefficiency that gets significantly reduced.

Everything helps ensure that the average person is in a much better state of mind, and mood is contagious - even those who pay the most benefit off of it, and pretty much everyone here agrees that it's money well spent.

In Danish politics, even the right wing would be considered leftists in the US - we have a lot of political parties (16 in parliament, with 4 of them being from the Faeroe Islands or Greenland).
