If you mean the crossing of the South Funen Archipelago between Germany and Denmark, it’s a ferry currently.

A tunnel will open in 2029. Construction started recently.

Whoever is interested in buying old milk could easily make their own for cheap, but if they’re in a hurry to get it, $1 is waaaay too cheap.

(I’m going to switch to euro units.) It probably costs more in rent and electricity to keep a jug of milk stored in the fridge for 5 years.

Let’s say you rent a small cheap apartment with 50 sqm. for let’s say 400€ monthly somewhere in a small rural European town. That’ll be €24000 for five years. The fridge takes up 1 of the 50 sqm., so that’s €480. Can a fridge contain 480 jugs of chocolate milk? Nuh uh.

A standard fridge could maybe hold 200 liters. The jug in the picture looks like half a gallon, or 2 liters, so it could hold 100 jugs. The rent alone would then be €4.8 to produce a five year old gallon of old chocolate milk and this idiot is selling it for $1. What a fool.

I recognise the waste in waiting time, but I also think we are still increasing productivity more than enough to make up for it.

Personally I solve it by multitasking harder. Whenever there is a waiting time for a download or other stuff I simply start doing something else. I’m not going to waste my life watching loading bars for a living.

I don’t think increasing user-friendlyness is a good solution. It’s pretty much what caused the issues to begin with. Every time Windows or the apps make something more user-friendly it always results in more buttons to click and more updates to keep up.

I also spend an unreasonable amount of time just rearranging the windows in comparison to back when apps had keyboard-only GUIs with functions layered in different pages or tabs. I obviously don’t think that is a good solution today either, but it goes to show that the bloated operating system has a lot of the blame.

Say you want to do something simple like renaming a file, you’ll need to open an app to show the folders and files and also 100 different functions that are of no use for the specific task, position and scroll it where it’s visible, navigate by mouse or keyboard and then do whatever you wanted. My point is that just operating the operation system is something that requires 10s of seconds over and over again every day. There’s a long way from thought to execution for the simplest task.

The good thing is that it enables a lot of people to do so without any training at all, so maybe that makes up for it in total.

The picture of the “Chinese 50 lane road” was an internet hoax. It wasn’t a road. It is a toll gate, and it also only has 25 lanes.

The Katy freeway that OP posted has 26 lanes and is considered the “largest” road. The picture doesn’t really show it that well, and I’m also not sure if the feeder roads ought to count. It “only” has 6 ordinary lanes in both directions but a lot of entryways, exits and other designated lanes.

According to Guinness Book of Records, the widest road is in Brazil and is 250 meters wide. However this is also just a technicality, because it is also a 6 lane road with a really really wide median strip.

Yes, they’re abused and mixed up. Best writing practice is to avoid them, because these phrases can often be left out in the first place or at least written more clearly.

Good game or grin grin.

So, he was about 37 at the time. He got the title at he age of 33.

Imagine that.

Pst… Don’t tell… but, small kids, small problems. ;)

I’d rather change a hundred diapers and bootlefeed in the middle of night than having to worry about if they made it safe home after a night out.

No, man… Appreciate the simplicity. Enjoy the sound of little feet walking little steps on the floor. It’ll be gone before you realise that you need to spend even more time trying to find something on the TV that both you and your better half want to watch at the same time…

Kids are great.

Having seen it, I have to say that it’s inspired by India.

It’s not a very good movie, but it has those scenes.

I’m pretty much opposite. I don’t even know why I carry this unknown mass around in my pockets. My keys are probably in there, otherwise the car wouldn’t start.

Mvh. exist and is used commonly in Danish. It’s considered old-fashioned. The modern version is just Vh.

Those are official abbreviations that can be found in a dictionary.

The ones OP posted aren’t all official. TBH and SMH are official. IMO is internet slang.

There’s not a lot of consensus on internet slang abbreviations in Danish. It was more common back in the texting days, when all girls would end their messages with an S for “smiling”, SS for “smiling sweetly”, or KKK for “hugs hugs and kisses”.

Let’s not hope both take a stroll on 5th avenue at the same time.

Oh boy…I’ll bring you up to speed.

When I was a kid we used to roll down hills in wheels. Those were the Goodyears.

Jeg kunne ikke sove i går, så jeg fandt en dokumentar på Filmstriben “Antropocæn” fra 2018.

Den viser med meget flotte billeder nogle lokationer hvor nutidens menneskehed i øjeblikket sætter sit præg på kloden og med få ord eller interviews forklarer hvad menneskerne laver dér.

Det drejer sig om minedrift i Rusland, Tyskland og Italien, en losseplads og krybskytteri i Afrika, lithium produktion og skovdrift i Sydamerika, olieudvinding i USA, koral-afblegning ved Australian og kystbeskyttelse i Kina.

Det bemærkelsesværdige ved filmen er at den ikke er formynderisk eller dommedagsagtig. Den viser det bare. Her er stedet, her er mennesket. Sådan ser det ud og sådan gør de. Filmen er i et tempo der lægger op til at man selv tænker over det.

Seat belt regulations saved a lot of lives despite massive objections and many attempts from both drivers and manufacturers to work around the regulation. https://www.history.com/news/seat-belt-laws-resistance

Aluminium is fine for acidic beverages and it is possible to buy juice in a can, but that would be a single serving. Juice and milk make sense to buy in larger sizes for multiple servings. Plastic bottles are also an option for those, but it really depends on how they’re recycled locally if that makes more sense than the cartons.

The aluminium red solo cups ought to be recyclable just as any other aluminium product, provided that they’re returned in the first place and not mixed with other disposable garbage. Selling them as disposable seems counterproductive. A better option would be to use actual cups or glasses for picnics and bring them back home. Washing a cup in a dishwasher is much better than recycling aluminium.

It’s not easy for consumers to make a good choice.
