Since I live in Denmark as a non-Dane, I can tell first-hand that these articles tend to ignore/gloss-over that Danes tend to be pretty xenophobic.
It's so prevalent (and denied by Danes) that in the last few years the term "hygge-racism" was used to describe it.

AfD doesnt have a majority in any state in Germany. They are not in charge of policy.

I hope this will not age like milk after the next few elections.

In elementary school in Germany (grade 1-4), we had one day when they were weighing the kids and our backpacks.
The point was not so much the weight of the kid, but that the backpack shouldn't be more than x% of your body weight.
Nobody cared about it after that was done.

Mastodon: fediscience.org , that's for all kind of science. Sign-ups requirements are to give your ORCID (persistent identifier for scientist in case of name changes etc)

I feel you. I type in three languages, and Gboard is the only one able to handle that.
I can't wait for the day when I can finally ditch it

Öffi (https://f-droid.org/packages/de.schildbach.oeffi/) claims that it offers Sydney, but I've only used it in Europe.
Where I've used Öffi, it's at least as good as the official app, sometimes better.

You joke, but dark "Esspapier" with "pencils" made out of some form of icing were a thing for a while. The pencils were a bit like crayons and writing sucked, but it did kinda work.

I just checked, you can get pens with food dye for decorating.

I'm not holding snow against them, but their pedestrian infrastructure.
It's great for bikes, no doubt, but sidewalks are ridiculously narrow, are not cleared from snow, and in some areas don't even exist, so you have to walk on the bike path.
Don't get me wrong, it's very possible to get around on foot, but walking longer distances does not seem to be part of the city planning.
If the bike paths would be equally terrible, I wouldn't even complain, but streets and bike paths are both well maintained.

In general I'm surprised how pedestrian unfriendly Danish cities are given how much space bikes get.
With the snow there recently was, bike lanes where free, while sidewalks where a mess.

Denmark has several exceptions from the Maastricht treaty, border controls being one of those.
It's ridiculous and should finally stop

Depending on field, double-blind reviews are rare. In ecology I had maybe one or two reviews in 5 years that were double-blinded, normally you see the author list as a reviewer
