  Denmark is not completely cashless. You can still pay in stores with cash and get cash from ATMs and banks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨low iq in love with high iq person, is that bad??⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think they’re referring to this post that OP made 3 days ago: i took an iq test and it was nice and i took my time doing it but the answer was 86, is that bad??

  There’s currently 38 comments in that thread, and only 2 of them are from OP, at the time of me writing this comment here.

  In the same vein, with my family I’ve been using the analogy of “Imagine that all law enforcement had a key to your home, and they could enter at any time and look through your things, but you wouldn’t even know it if they did, or if they took photos or recorded videos of your place to take with them. Their argument is that the only way to keep you and your stuff safe from the bad guys is for the good guys to have access. But because the good guys now have access, it’s also easier for the bad guys to get in, because now there’s all these extra keys to your home out there, which might fall into the hands of the bad guys.”

  Not a perfect analogy, but it seems to make them consider the issue from a more personal angle. And for those that argue, “Well, I don’t have anything to hide.”, I usually counter with “Then why do you close your curtains/blinds when you change your clothes or get out of the shower?” With my dad who grew up during the World War II, it also helped to mention that a law like this, once on the books, will not be easy to overturn, and while he might be fine with our current regime having access to all his data, that might not be the case with future authorities.

  Same here. I maxed out the FOV, and that seemed to help.

  Interesting, I’d never heard of Kavita, so have just been using Calibre all these years. Did you start out on Kavita, or did you move from Calibre, or another software?

  Interesting, and good for the dev!

  But it’s early access and 40 euros, so not for me at the moment. Still, for those curious, here’s the direct link to Steam.
