bstix,

Jeg ved ikke hvordan man beregner underskud på den slags. Alt infrastruktur er vel en omkostning, hvor man kun kan gisne om gevinsten på sigt fordi det afhænger af alle følgevirkningerne som er ukendte før man laver det. Derfor synes jeg måske ikke at økonomien er det vigtigste punkt at kritisere. Jeg vil hellere stille spørgsmål ved om det overhovedet løser noget problem.

Jeg har aldrig selv haft problemer med at køre strækningen, men jeg hører ofte om kødannelse i myldretiden. Jeg synes man burde have undersøgt andre løsninger på netop dét problem i stedet for bare at bygge en bro/vejbane mere. Det er sjældent at det virker efter hensigten fordi det i stedet tiltrækker endnu mere trafik. Det er påvist igen og igen ved målinger at spildtiden øges i takt med øget trafik uanset antallet af vejbaner.

Det er selvfølgelig positivt at lastbilerne kan køre helt udenom byen, men det egentlige problem med myldretiden kunne også være løst med bedre offentlig transport i lokalområderne, så vejen ikke blev fyldt op med pendler biler fra forstæderne. Det vil den fortsat blive.

bstix,

Just listen to the word. Busy with what?

bstix,

I don’t think it’s limited like that. While I usually think in sentences, it also happens that I get ideas that I either can’t express in words or it happens so fast that I don’t bother trying to think it through in sentences.

Try to think of a house and notice how you don’t need to describe it in any detail to instantly visualise how you think a house looks.

It’ll be interesting to hear what they find in the ongoing research, but it’s already clear that the brain is not just a large language model.

bstix,

The section “other people also search for” is complete garbage.

I was searching for a used car part in my native language and Google mistook it for a name. No, Google, other people do not search for "car part net worth and marital status ". Why are you showing me this crap?

bstix,

The thing is… everyone is a regular guy.

All the movie stars, famous musicians, politicians and renowned scientists, yes, those are all regular guys too. They eat, shit and fall asleep on a pillow every night or about as much as regular people do and usually not all at once. 2 arms 2 legs 1 head and so. Mostly. A bit above average perhaps, but generally they have a regular number of limbs.

Mark likely does all those regular things just as well as regular guys.

However… Someone who goes on a live stream to introduce his new cutting edge technology by staring into a camera without blinking for 45 minutes endlessly mumbling about smoked meats while rocking a caesarian haircut. That’s also perfectly regular… for a lizard.

bstix,

I’m not even sure if the previous poster was being serious, but I wouldn’t be surprised if someone actually thinks of Mark Zuckerberg as a regular dude, because he’s so dorky and awkward that it’s relatable for some people.

It’s pretty clear that the guy has affuenza and having trouble with social relations. I don’t hate that about him, but it doesn’t mean that I will ever consider him to be a regular guy. Like many other rich kids, he never had to grow up and grow out of the juvenile belief that money is the end goal. He’s still a 15 year old thinking it’s clever to cheat and win in monopoly.

He’s a character though, and I like that about him. The world could generally benefit from having more oddballs, instead of billionaire eccentrics. In this way, I’d award him 1 more charisma point than Elon Musk.

bstix,

I was only taught one comma rule in English: "if in doubt, leave it out ". In this case I would advise you to leave it in.

However it’s your pillow. You make the bed that you sleep in.

bstix,

Well, that’s fair. I have to point out that the tabloids are pulling a lot of words out of very little data. Exactly the opposite of what Zuckerberg does. He might very well play them like a fiddle.

Anyway, another plus for him is that his phone number is publicly available. I’d like to call him up some day just to talk about meat, while I never really have any reason to call Elon.

bstix,

With all respect, yes, I hope so.

bstix,

Optometrists are behind this. When you turn mid fourties they’ll politely but sternly ask you to consider spectacles with progressive correction. It will make the world just as curvy as they want you to see it.

bstix,

Multiplication of x times 6:

x * 6 = 1/2 x * 10 + x

This can sometimes be a shortcut for numbers that are easier to divide by 2 than to multiply by 6.

Take half as tens and add the number.

6 * 6 = 30 + 6 = 36

8 * 6 = 40 + 8 = 48

150 * 6 = 750 + 150 = 900

320 = 1600 + 320 = 1920

Etc.

Sleep well.

bstix,

Exactly. Multiples of 5 are easy enough in my opinion, but the principle can be used for all kinds of stuff when trying to calculate quickly.

For instance 9x =10x-x is usually faster than 9x (at least for my brain).

I once talked to an old guy who called it “little math”, because it fits in your head instead of having to use paper and pencil at the desk. It must have been taught differently before I was born. I work with numbers, and I’ve often encountered these old geezers who can eyeball a number close enough to make a decision before I can boot my pc and put everything through Excel.

bstix,

1 grand is the same as 1 kilo? So it’s still weight.

bstix,

I was chilling in a sauna in a holiday resort, when some guy opened the door poking his head in “Phew, it’s warm in here. Hey kids come over, they’ve got a sauna!”. He stood in the door waiting for the kids to come around. “Oh my good it’s unbearably hot, let’s let some of that heat out, so we can breathe.” "But dad, we don’t want to go to the sauna ". Leaves without closing the door.

bstix,

What can I say, I like it hot. Hotter than public saunas.

Kan nogen forklare mig hvad A- og B-indkomst er? Danish

Jeg er ansat flere steder, hvor jeg udfører løn-arbejde. Jeg har hørt mine venner snakke om A- og B-indkomst, og de siger det har noget at gøre med ens primære indkomst. Har fået at vide af mine forældre at det ikke er så vigtigt i vore dage, men er et lævn fra dengang lønsedler primært var fysiske. Dengang var...

bstix,

A-indkomst udbetales efter at skatten er fratrukket. F.eks. løn. Din arbejdsgiver tilbageholder din skat og betaler den til Skat i stedet for til dig.

B-indkomst er der ikke betalt skat af på forhånd. F.eks. salg af limonade fra egen avl, eller konsulent timer, hvor du har sendt en regning til nogen. Der er ikke fratrukket skat på forhånd i betalingen.

Jeg tror det er blandet ind i forvirring omkring hovedkort og bikort…det er ikke det samme som A og B skat.

Hovedkortet indeholder dit skattefradrag og kan derfor kun benyttes af én arbejdsgiver ad gangen, ellers ville du kunne bruge dit fradrag flere gange. Bikortet indeholder kun skatteprocenten, men du betaler altså fuld forskudsskat hos dem som bruger bikortet.

I sidste ende er det ligemeget fordi årsopgørelsen samler alle indkomster og fradrag og regner det hele sammen.

Problemet kan være hvis en sekundær arbejdsgiver benytter dit hovedkort, men du tjener for lidt hos dem til at udnytte dit skattefradrag, samtidig med at du har en anden arbejdsgiver som trækker fuld skat af et højere beløb. I så fald får du selvfølgelig pengene tilbage i april/maj næste år, men det kan jo give bøvl at du først får penge for dit arbejde efter skatten er gjort op.

bstix,

The average Joe won’t bother stealing your bike, but the pros will simply take a bolt cutter and remove your chain or lock.

A good bolt cutter is a small investment for people who do this for a living.

bstix,

The leaked votes from Italy shows that Israel got 40% of the audience votes. So while jury is absolutely bullshit, the issue is that the audience is also very much political.
