The US already has a deal with Denmark basically allowing them unlimited presence on Greenland. A takeover changes nothing except now there's no "buffer state" between the US and Russia.

Y'all need to quit it with all this Truman Show nonsense

Oh shit, he's onto us!

I’d be okay with that, honestly

Well, good news then! If you wait a few billion years the Milky Way will collide with the Andromeda Galaxy.

More accurately, Denmark's postal service stops delivering post.

This is a direct consequence of the free market act from 2023 that no longer obligated PostNord to deliver post and stopped paying for the service. It is no surprise that post delivery isn't a profit market, especially in this day and age, so IMO that was a pretty stupid idea from our politicians. Now only Dao delivers post but there's nothing stopping them from saying "this island is too expensive to deliver pos to. Come pick up your shit in the mainland's ferry terminal." And trust me, we have a lot of islands for such a small country.

I can't possibly think of any way that could backfire.

That is some unexpectedly good news. I'm looking forward to see the results of an EU based search index.

Same people who's maintaining it today. We need to look up business hours anyway on top of looking up time zones. E.g. business hours in Denmark is usually 8-16 while in UK it is usually 9-17. Here there's furthermore differences at the usual company. IMO you're inconsiderate if you start planning meetings without taking the business hours of the recipients into account (which means all our UK enployess are inconsiderate jerks on this topic, calling me in for meetings until 18:00...)

So instead of looking up the time zone difference and the cultural business hours of a company in Australia, I can just see that they open after my lunch.

Based om all the replies in this post it seems like it happens quite a lot. Or it all just happens now for some reason...

I get it. I've just been through a merger and the new head software delivery has plans on rewriting everything in their tech stack. He is in for an absolute fucking ride when he realises that such a rewrite will not take a year but 5 to 10 and will incapacitate our department for the entire time. In a rapidly evolving market. It is 3 decades of continuous and rapid feature expansions he's trying to unroll.

It's not FOSS though, so I'm not as invested in it, I'm just here to see him either fail utterly or get kicked due to his cognitive dissonance that'll cost our department in the tens or hundreds of millions.

Yes, lizards use it as an escape tactic. A bird might grab them by the tail and then they'll "detach" the tail. They'll then just regrow a new one.
