Back in my day, we walked for miles uphill in the snow to school, we rode the unprotected meatspin, broke all of our bones, and then we walked for miles uphill back home. Kids these days are so spoiled and pampered!!!

I’m not a rail expert, but I thought for some reason that rails without electricity would be too old/unmaintained to be allowed to serve passenger traffic, lol.
40 minutes? I would have imagined that everyone would hop off at the station, they’d then drive out to a parking junction, and then drive back the electric train to the station for people to load in again. Isn’t it also very expensive to take the train (you’re from the US I assume)? Not weird that no one wants to take it when it’s in such bad situations :/

If you’re already laying tracks, why not lay electricity as well?

And the old “I cheated on you because I was drunk”. It’s not so heartwarming that people here are belittling rape with what would be considered negligent sexual assault at the worst.
- Comment on Why are doctors so hands off and unhelpful in the USA? 1 month ago:
you’re only getting part of what an endoscopy can do.
But it’s much less intrusive, no? So should it not be considered to see if a good diagnosis can be made via it?

Uhm, hello, it says blood MEAL, so of course it’s made to be eaten.
- Comment on Well THAT'S super helpful! 🤦 2 months ago:
I can’t think of many examples where a postal letter will be so time-critical that it will make a big difference if it’s delayed 1 day (or until Monday if delivery was on Thursday)?
But I agree, it shouldn’t have to be like that. And how much paper-profit they make would probably be nothing compared to the benefits society gets (and thus benefits the country’s economy regardless).

You mean packages that are originally DHL, or what other companies? DHL is a bit special, because they have many different divisions.
Small parcels from DHL (Deutsche Post) are technically like Varubrev/Quickbreve/whatever name you have there. DHL in that case is exactly like PostNord, USPS, Royal Mail, etc, where they’re simply Germany’s national mailing division. PostNord in that case is following UPU’s rules about “parcel post”, and in return PostNord gets what’s known as remuneration (compensation) for the transport within Denmark.
But if PostNord DK is taking over DHL Freight or DHL Express deliveries…? That sounds really messed up in that case. Interesting how much they differ despite being in the same group.

So y’all have less services by default, and yet your side of the company is also losing the largest amounts of money? For helvede Mads 🫠 haha. Though on the bright side, I assume they’re still probably better than UPS or FedEx? If I have some home delivery from UPS/FedEx, I don’t even attempt to be at home… I already know that that their tracking will say “we tried to deliver you, but you weren’t home” despite them not even attempting to drive into my neighborhood.

None of the outdoors is on my property and as such they’re not allowed to leave it there even if I ask them to
Is that their explanation, or what you assume? The problem is usually that the seller specifically requested it be signed for. They even have keys to most apartment buildings, so they can even leave it outside your door or the actual building. I’ve had many PostNord home deliveries left outside my building’s door; just need to see that the package allows FlexChange and then request it.
(Or maybe you’re Danish? No idea how they do it there)

I don’t think she should be earning so much, but varannandagsutdelning does actually make sense with how few letters get sent (even though I’d also prefer daily delivery). But crazy that stamp prices have also basically doubled.
But just like with so many other public service things and agencies, Sweden is determined to make a paper profit. Vinstkrav. Would be cool if SJ for example was allowed to sell their train tickets for cheaper prices, but nope, they need to make at least 10% profit or something around that.

Amazon’s solution: install another microphone in the car so they can hear that you’re singing instead of having a conversation!!

What are your rules about bicycles? In Sweden, we regulated them kinda like bicycles - as long as the motor has an effect under 250w, and is limited to driving at speeds of 20km/hr, you’re able to use them in the same places and manners as other bicycles.
Recently they started to require traffic insurance, and basically all insurance plans have zero deductibles as long as you’re wearing a helmet. I barely see anyone with helmets still, but yeah…
Or is the biggest nightmare that there’s not many designated bicycle paths, and so people are zooming around where pedestrians are walking?

Where did I say otherwise? If you’re able to go to a normal licenced shop and buy it, of course the example I gave wouldn’t happen.

When you gotta hang out with people (who most likely do/sell other drugs), no risk that you’re going to get an offer to try something else.

- Comment on Drug shortages, now normal in UK, made worse by Brexit, report warns 6 months ago:
In Sweden, over 1000 packages are listed as a backlog risk-situation. But the numbers are a bit inflated, because each package counts as another item on the list (if Paracetamol 500mg with 30 tablets is marked, it’s probable that both Paracetamol 500mg with 100 tablets and Paracetamol 250mg with 30 tablets will also end up in that situation).
So yeah, there are shortages, especially for medicines that have become increasingly popular (Semaglutid for example)… but it is very likely Brexit has made it worse for the British, as otherwise many could be imported easier from the single market.

- Comment on But my WiFi is just fine! 1 year ago:
There are lots of factors that can cause jitter on WiFi, and it’s mostly outside of your control if you’re living somewhere more densely populated. My apartment randomly gets a lot of noise, and as a result my WiFi starts to get unacceptable amounts of packet loss and jitter. It doesn’t happen often enough to motivate the effort for me to go around signal analyzing, but still…
