I Denmark we can have digital drivers licenses, id cards, public transportation passes, online authentication etc.All of them have physical counteeparts. I dont think there are any plans to outphase any of the physical counteeparts for various good reasons such as people not having phones, accessibility, compatibility and so on.

I imagine that the issues for making, deploying and integrating a digital-only passport on a global scale would be much harder.

Hilarious! That's a fantastic name and an and an awesome side effect.

Timing is everything... and luck. :)

Me and a colleague of mine once posted essentially the same video of us pushing a coke can across a table, making the sound vaguely similar to Chewbacca.

His video got maybe 100-200 views, and mine got 1.7 million views on YouTube and somewhere between 50 and 100 million views across other platforms. The reason? I happened to post my video to reddit a few hours later, which happened to coincide better with people getting ready for Thanksgiving in the states. I'm from Denmark, so it didn't really cross my mind.

I was thinking the same ø, but does it work with the neutral field and changing players in the mix?

I mean there will be non-zero chance that the game could go on forever.

A bit harsh. I didn't know this. I mean, it could be that some people were not able to read english. I was too young to read english and it wasnt my native tongue. Also, my dad used to let us rent a NES and some games at our local video rental shop, so it just didn't come with a manual to read in the first place.

Anecdote incoming.

During my young adulthood I always gained weight, slowly but steadily until it evened out at around 103 kg.

Around when I was in my early 30s, I got sick to the point I lost 15 kg weight in two weeks, and over the next 3 years I lost 8 kg more, and got down to a low of about 78 kg, mostly due to healthy eating and exercise. I started running half marathons, I became more social and happy and life was generally better.

I'm positive that my sickness altered some chemistry in my body/brain. I didn't have any cravings, my sense of smell was altered and smelling food from McDonalds seemed repulsive to me, I was less impulsive and so on. Life was just easier, for about 3-4 years.

As my sickness receded I slowly got back into my old habits. McDonalds started to become attractive again, snacks slowly creeped back into my daily routine and running became more and more difficult. This recession took about 6-8 years and I'm now back at around 103 kg.

I often look back and wish I could recreate the effects of that period somehow. I've tried "putting down the fork" countless times. I've tried all kinds of weight loss strategies but it just seems so much harder than it was back then.

The sickness I got was Sarcoidosis. Initially I was treated with adrenocortical hormones because I had unexplained high fewers, swollen knees and ancles and rapid weight loss. What eventually led to my diagnosis was a doctor "randomly" asking for a chest x-ray even though I was mostly hurting in my legs. That xray showed I had enlarged granulomas all over my lungs. The hormone treatment lasted for roughly 2 months. But I was going for scans and lung checkups for 3 years after my diagnosis, until everything settled down. My sarcoidosis was fairly mild and I don't have any lasting symptoms.

Personally I'm convinced something happened in my body that made everything easier while I was "sick". I'm not sure if it was the rapid weight loss in the start, the adrenocortical hormone treatment or some other hormonal change caused by the Sarcoidosis itself that caused it. I just know that to me it felt like I was living the life of a thin person on the "other side" for a few years until I was back to my normal self again.

> Personally I'm convinced something happened in my body that made everything easier while I was "sick".

There's evidence that shows major life events can lead to it being easier to adopt changes in behavior, like a new habit of healthy eating and regular exercise.

If it's not too forward and you can adhere to it, I would suggest tracking everything you eat. Given some (1-2 weeks) of baseline data collection, make some tweaks to the macronutrient composition (protein/fat/carbs) of your diet. From that play with it until you find what you need to feel "full" in what you eat and in a way that is sustainable.

I may be strange in that I'm happy eating the same thing all the time. I don't think this is a simple or straight forward process, but approaching it with curiosity and rigor seems to have worked well for me.

By that logic no privately owned company would ever be held accountable for anything they did wrong.

I don't know if this is the case or not, but surely this should not hinder legal action on anything that happened before the TOS changed right?

Wow it is absolutely fascinating and awe-inspiring. Anybody know what the blob (looks like wavy gold foil) in the bottom right of the picture is?

Should have read the description.

I'm still weary of using Blazor in anything serious/long term. I've been burnt before by MS, leaving me with a tech that's both hard to continue using and hard to get rid of if need be.
