I never click them anyway. If the meme isn’t wild enough to get pixelated into a shitpost gif then I don’t need to see it. Not once in my lifetime have I ever clicked a Twitter/Facebook/Instagram link and thought that the click was worth it.

Because USA spilled it there?

Ridicule them.

In Denmark it happened rather quickly and less than 200 years ago. Soo many things happened in the late 1800s after the abandonment of absolute monarchy in 1849, that I’m not going to pretend that I can explain it all in a comment.

So… while Denmark has a long history with vikings and kings and stuff, our constitution is relatively new and written around the same time as Karl Marx and the industrial revolution redefining what work is.

If you ever get around Copenhagen, the workers museum is well worth a visit for an insight into the specific events that lead to the democratic socialist government. It was a long hard process and tightly tied to the history of worker’s unions.

Very briefly told, it was a worldwide class war. The events in Scandinavia were heavily influenced by the “bloody week” in Paris in 1871 and the establishment of the world wide organisation First International.

It culminated in a several months long lock out in 1899, which eventually gave workers the right to organize for collective agreements. This was only made possible with support from workers from all over the world.

One of the most amazing things about it was how they even managed to organize anyone at all in a time where all workers were dirt poor and only the owning class had any freedom and income at all. The founders of the first unions realized that it would be an uphill battle and were brutally honest about it. They told workers “It might take several generations to succeed, but it needs to be done, so that your grand children will have a chance for a better life.”, and yet they managed to organize almost everyone.

It succeeded though and also much faster. One of the three founders of the socialist democratic party lived long enough to see it become the largest political party in the country in 1924 - a position it held until 2001.

Having their first child. You’ll never be ready.

Yes, I have kids. No regrets. It definitely gave me a different perspective on life in ways that I could never had experienced in any other way.

No one is ever fully ready for it. It’s not comparable to anything else, so it’s basically impossible to reach the decision to have children in any logical way. It’s a leap of faith. I thought of it as something that I had to do in order to experience as much of life as I can while I can. It’s been well worth any amount ofmoney or time that I’ve spent on it. I’d do it again if I was ten years younger.

Have you tried the grapefruit technique?

It would be an interesting experiment to hand out a lot of money to random people and then track how they behave statistically. Everyone has the potential to be an asshole, but it requires a lot of money to prove that one is not.

This got me thinking. What about people who get rich by luck, winning a lottery or something?

They aren’t corrupt, but they’ll surely turn into assholes anyway, when they justify their luck to themselves and start doing asshole actions to guard their precious money. It’s the same thing with inheritance or getting lucky in business. They’ll talk about “self-made” success, even if they just bought a lottery ticket.

In my opinion, money does corrupt people. It’s just through ordinary greed. Litteral corruption or cheating isn’t even necessary to see this effect that money has.

A classic.

It’s absolutely a thing. Don’t you know anyone who went nuts from it? Maybe it’s just me, but I’ve met plenty of them.

My father also used to work in an institution for psychotic patients. He always brought home the artwork that they made and gave him. He had entire box of it, and could basically go through it and say which drug the artist had used just by looking at it.

Also, the location is the Simpsons living room.

Not sure if serious, but anyway it means “you damn smart”.

In Danish it has become a commonly known allegory used for threatening to initiate a fight over someone being provokingly clever. It started with a viral video in which two guys argue over a pocket bike.

Du’ dælme smart.

It’s supposedly used for gross profit margin calculations, which is an equation for business stuff rather than an ordinary math function. It adds a profit of a margin calculated from the gross price. The gross price is unknown, so you’d input the net price and the desired margin of the result.

Ordinary percentages would be used for “net margin”: net price + percentage of net price = gross price. This can be done by simple multiplication, such as: 100 x 1.2 = 120

This does “gross margin”: net price + percentage of gross price = gross price. This would require solving an equation in several steps to do: 100 / ( 1 - 0.20) = 125

It might seem like a rather random function to add to a calculator, but it has to be seen in the context of being prior to computer spread sheets, where accountants would make price lists of hundreds of products manually, so a short cut like this could save a lot of time.

Hmm. I guess different brands do this stuff differently. In real life I’d definitely prefer to break the equation into separate operations, just to ensure that I understand and can document the process.

It think you should try:

100 > + > MU > 20 > % > +=

It should show 125.

Cow manure is also too expensive for that.

According to that site, it also has an item counter. Normally this also on the print, but without a printer I guess it needs a button for that. Perhaps the IC button?

Remember that on desktop calculators the operations are entered reverse of ordinary pocket calculators. First you press the number and then you press the operation. So to do 100 - 50 you need to press “100 + 50 -”

Same for the MU. First you need a number to be added. Then MU some number as percentage and +=.
