What the fuck. If you got a doctor’s note (paid by the workplace) in Denmark you cannot be fired before 120 days have passed. This is not part of the 25-30’ish vacation days you have.
You don’t need a doctor’s note, but if the workplace wants one they have to pay for each one.
The work happens entirely outside therapy. Therapy is just a method to give you another way of thinking about certain scenarios that you can apply in the future to get out of the train of thoughts that made you feel like going to therapy in the first place. So more akin of picking up a book from the library, you still have to read it yourself.
This is very boiled down, but ultimately what I feel about therapy. I’ve been in and out of therapy for half a decade and are only now seeing benefits from it, and that mostly is due to me having the wrong idea about what therapy provides.
Different therapy forms give different tools but if you aren’t on the hunt for a specific one you’ll likely end up with CBT which fits my description the most. In VERY tough terms, if you have a good listener in your close circles you can talk to about anything it’ll come close to what CBT offers.
Still looks better than a Cybertruck

Unbelievable… I’d much rather play a game where I try to earn merit badges for mimicking the terrain in war-torn countries.
Damn… The frozen croissants at supermarkets here costs €4 for a pack of 4. A single ready-to-eat would probably be €5
Niks :p Men jeg kan allerede mærke at det var den rigtige beslutning. Alle der har været forbi for en snak sagde også noget i retning af “det kan jeg sådan set godt forstå…”
Størstedelen kæmper samme kamp om at nå et bedre sted hen, men der er bred enighed om at vores team har været hårdest ramt i og med at vi skulle skabe processer og struktur i det vilde vesten hvor svaret på at miste markedsadgang til et helt land pga. grove systemfejl er “hovsa” (true story).
Takker, selvom det betyder jeg ret beset er jobløs om lidt :p Men den del er jeg ikke så bekymrer for, der dukker snart noget op.
Så blev min opsigelse endelig offentliggjort med en uge tilbage før sidste dag. I sidste ende takkede jeg også nej til en 35% lønstigning tilbagebetalt til at give 60k i alt oveni næste udbetaling. Det er seriøse tal, men når jeg har svært ved at se mig selv give det et år mere, så kunne jeg ikke acceptere.
På den anden side, så har min selvtillid og morale ikke lidt et knæk. Der er vigtigere ting i livet end penge og det var det de ikke kunne tilbyde.
What kind of hotels do you frequent?
I think the proplem is with the head. As far as I remember you were only belted in the, uh… Belt region (if at all, old sleeper busses didn’t have belts), so the head was free to fly up and hit the bed above you or the window. Same thing would of course happen in a seated position, but due to the position, fewer limbs come flying and can hit stuff.
But I’m no researcher, this is just what makes sense to me based on the data provided.
I’ve read the Danish and the translated version. Google Translate also uses LLM’s, just FYI.
Yeah. I hate how LLM’s have been shoved into absolutely everything and I’m far from an advocate of the technology, but there’s a few use cases where it makes sense. Any translator today is likely a specialised LLM. I do make sure to label it every time I use it.
What the actual fuck
That sounds worse. In Denmark with maybe only few exceptions I think all highway travel is done with regional busses with limited or no standing space.
Shit, they really did that? How the mighty have fallen…
Better than calling it AI :p
But it was the easiest way for me to provide the article in a readable format for most people.
City busses usually go 30km/h, up to 50 on longer stretches. With a normal biker topping around 30, 35 if they’re fit on a good bike, it doesn’t provide a worse fatality rate as far as I see. When packed you’re also cushioned by other people and the bus being heavy makes it not crash violently in a fender bender or anything but a serious concrete building.
But that aside, I dug up a research article you can check in my other comment. Turns out the two serious accidents causing the ban was politicised, so maybe newer technology can make up for the lacking protection naturally offered in a seated and belted position.
Turbs out the fatality rate might have been exaggerated a bit. I found this Danish article: https://cepos.dk/artikler/medforte-forbuddet-mod-sovebusser-reelt-en-forvaerring-af-trafiksikkerheden/
CEPOS is a slightly biased institute in Denmark, but I trust the data provided in this article. I was only a kid back when the ban was enacted, but it makes sense for me. I’ll adjust my initial comment.
12 June 2019
About 15 years have passed since two Danish sleeper-coach accidents led to a substantial tightening of rules both domestically and abroad. After the accidents several politicians called for improved safety to avoid repeats. Since then the regulations were tightened to such an extent that sleeper coaches have disappeared from the market.
The question is whether politicians actually improved road safety or merely shifted fatalities to other transport modes.
There is no doubt that travelling by a conventional bus is far safer than travelling by car when measured per kilometre travelled. The figure below is based on data from “Risk in traffic 2007–2016”, Christiansen and Warnecke (2018) from DTU Transport. The figure shows that the risk of being injured in a bus is about one-tenth of the risk in a car. That is the same factor the European Transport Safety Council found in 2004.
However, there is a difference between being seated and belted in a seat and lying down lengthwise in a sleeper coach. So how unsafe were sleeper coaches really?
Before the new rules were introduced, roughly 400,000 Danes used sleeper coaches annually when travelling on holiday to southern Europe. In total Danes travelled about 1 billion km in sleeper coaches (approximately one third of those kilometres in a lying position). Based on the accident risk from the figure above (which applies to all buses, including slow-moving city buses), one would therefore expect just under three fatalities or serious injuries per year in these coaches.
I have not been able to find sources listing historical fatalities specifically for sleeper coaches. TV2 wrote in 2004 that “accidents with sleeper coaches are relatively rare compared with, for example, car travel.” The fact that the two 2004 accidents (see box) received so much political attention suggests they were rare events, which is also confirmed by statements from the travel industry. For example: “We rarely see fatalities in connection with bus accidents. However, every year we see cases …”
It therefore cannot be readily dismissed that sleeper coaches were not more dangerous than other buses. Clearly, if you are in an accident it is advantageous to be belted. But the risk of having an accident may differ for sleeper coaches (for example there is less traffic at night, and sleeper coaches typically have two professional drivers).
After the first accident the Danish Road Directorate (Færdselsstyrelsen) recommended requiring safety partitions between all sleeping berths. With such partitions the Road Directorate assessed that a sleeper coach travelling at 80 km/h would be, from a safety perspective, on the same level as a bus travelling 100 km/h with passengers seated and belted. In Germany, where the Danish sleeper coaches mainly operated when used with sleeping berths, the speed limit for sleeper coaches was 80 km/h (and 100 km/h when the bus was used otherwise).
Despite the Road Directorate’s assessment that sleeper coaches could be made as safe as regular buses for passengers, the rules were further tightened—especially abroad. In Germany the end result was ultimately a ban on sleeper coaches. It was particularly that German ban that stopped the use of Danish sleeper coaches, since the coaches primarily functioned as sleeper coaches while passing through Germany.
The new rules effectively ended the use of sleeper coaches, and this was followed by a very large decline in bus passenger numbers. Trier Ski Travel experienced a 60% drop in bus travellers, but on the other hand a large increase in self-drive holidays.
You can get a hint of the overall effect on road safety by assuming that those who no longer travel by sleeper coach instead drive by car or fly. If we take Trier Ski Travel’s statements as a starting point, 60% of coach trips were shifted to other modes of transport while 40% continued to travel by (safer) buses. As said, the data are sparse…

I’m going into software project management and have a ComSci education and development expertise. I’m starting to look forward to getting everything dumbed down for me just for me to ask a highly technical follow up.
