Last month, I took a Danish road trip and made a pitstop in Ribe, Denmark's oldest town. I was absolutely dazzled by the doors. Here are a few that I shot while I was there. You can find more on the history of Ribe and plenty of more glamour shots of the […] [Original post on flipboard.social]

I’ve seen people report Google Translate going full AI slop and guessing a probable word instead of just translating the input, but I never saw anything so blatant myself before. Notice how it translates the #Danish word “tiende” alternatively as “tenth” or “eighth”.

A screenshot of the Google Translate app with Danish and English text. The Danish text reads: "verdens tiende største handelsflåde". The English text reads: "the world's tenth-largest merchant fleet" in English.

I needed a goat-apple-opera break from grant-writing and I bet you do too.

A white goat wish her head thrown back, chewing an apple, but sort of looks like she's singing. There are several other goats in the background, one other one obviously eating an apple.

Four goats, two white and two black, all eating apples with their heads back and their mouths open like they are singing opera.

Two goats, one white and one black, look like they are singing with their heads back as they eat red apples. There's a tall wooden fence in the background and green grass under their feet, as well as several other goats in the background.

@Ruth_Mottram I’ve experienced lots of train delays during my visit to Norway last month. I talked with a staff member, and their explanation was that they are lowering the maximum speed due to the heatwave for safety. It may not seem like much of a heatwave compared to the rest of Europe, but […]

This eclipse was the first time I’ve seen my neighbour’s cat. Normally she’s super shy, and I only knew of her existence because of the protective netting on their balcony. But this event was unusual enough to actually show herself outside

This evening #Denmark electricity prices are spiking right at the beginning of the heatwave. During mid-day the solar was contributing to keeping it low, but it couldn’t keep up the closer we got to the sunset. Almost 1€/kWh for next hour!

New car sales in Denmark are virtually 100% electric now. The number of electric cars on the road has now reached that expected in 2030. www.dr.dk/nyheder/indland/antallet-…

Chart of newly registered cars in Denmark by type. Since 2018 battery electrics have gone from 0 to 96%. Diesel and gasoline cars are hardly sold now. Plugin hybrids rose from near zero to a max of near 30% in 2021, then almost disappeared from sales.
