I second this, it’s a great podcast for chores

I don’t have as much time to listen to podcasts at the moment. The only one I’ve continued listening to is “Well There’s Your Problem”, it is sooo good. Just my kind of humor!

Honestly, this comment is gold! Informative and great fun. Absolutely brilliant, especially the last part! I literally laughed out loud 😅

Dette kommentarspor tilhører nu Kongeriget Danmark! 😀

Not only is it generally harmless when eaten, it is in fact allowed to be added to food in up to 5% concentrations in Europe, 2% in the US. The FDA lists it as “Generally Recognised as Safe”. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silica_gel#Uses

I suspect that the whole “Do Not Eat” is partly because the Silica Gel in the little bags is not made to food safe standards, but that’s just speculation on my part

They actually aren’t in Russia but either Georgia or Azerbaijan I don’t quite remember which for that specific scene. But I believe Georgia.

Although that might change in future I suppose. At least Russia seems to want that… sigh

And in Denmark it’s Holger

Når lige jeg er færdig med at rydde op efter morgenmaden tager jeg ud og stemmer.

Jeg brugte i går aftes efter landskampen på kandidattest og læse lidt om kandidaterne. Jeg synes især det er godt når kandidattestene tillader kandidaterne at skrive en lille forklaring til hvorfor de har svaret som de har. Jeg synes faktisk det giver rigtigt meget at læse forklaringerne igennem, nogle gange finder man en som man er mere “enig” med ift. svarene, men hvis forklaringer ikke giver mening og vice versa.

Jeg synes det er lidt øv at Chatkontrol 2.0 ikke rigtigt er blevet spurgt ind til. Jeg tror det bliver SF igen, de har svaret på hvad de mener om det her: https://chatkontrol.github.io Jeg er ikke 100% tryg ved svaret, de snakker også generelt meget om at “beskytte børnene” i deres kommunikation, men jeg tror jeg vælger at tage risikoen. Jeg regner med at skrive til den/de kandidater der bliver valgt ind for SF efter valget og gøre det klart hvad jeg mener om at masseovervåge os alle. Jeg er glad ved deres grønne ambitioner, og stor fan af at de vil kæmpe for at forbedre togtrafikken i Europa!

I had an Nokia, my last “featurephone” before I got my first smartphone, which actually had an FM tuner built-in. It used the headphone wire as an antenna as far as I recall. Quite neat, not that I ever really used it, but it was perfectly serviceable. And a great way of having music on the go in the days before streaming music was widely available.

“Pointer”, ha!

I suppose “offering” might not be the right word, but I think the whole point is whether it is a waste of taxpayer money or not. As I wrote, I don’t think it makes sense to expect a worthwhile economic return from hosting the Olympics, but there is of course other types of “wealth” besides money. For example, if only money mattered a building should be built in as cheap a fashion as possible, but spending a bit more on making it beautiful is worth (to me at least) for the “wealth” it provides society in improving the beauty of our surroundings. I think the question becomes if it is worth the cost of hosting the Olympics, for the “wealth” of allowing the citizens of a country/city a chance of attending without travelling half way around the globe. Additionally there’s the “wealth” gained from the civic pride of having your country/city be the center of the world’s attention in a largely positive manner for the course of the games.

Oh yes, I fully agree. My point, I guess, is more that not every tourist coming to Paris for the Olympic is an “extra” tourist, since some people who would otherwise go, won’t.

The question is also how many of them will come back to Paris once the games are over, who wouldn’t have, were it not for the games. If the olympics don’t result in additional tourists in the years following it, then it would seem unlikely it was economically worth it. That’s why I think it is fundamentally wrong to base whether you want to hold the Olympics based on expected economic returns.
