In case you were being productive today and wanted a wikipedia rabbithole. Canada has a land border with Denmark! Win trivia night!
Dividing Hans Island was the worst resolution. Now we have to have border guards and a fence there to stop all the Danish illegal immigrants from sneaking over the border, smuggling pastries and tekkin ur jerbs. :(
Ah, but now we have a land border with Denmark as well as a ferry connection to France, and our borders are no longer in dispute.
Our EU application should be in good shape!
Canada joining the shengen would be a hilarious addition to the timeline
I’m picturing a future now where Hans Island is a major travel hub because it’s the one land border between Canada and an EU country, and for some technical reason there’s a circumstance where you want to walk across the border.
my father and his side are all Danish, I’m first born Canadian on that side. Would be kinda cool to walk across after hearing stories about grandpa and dads boat trip here
Canada and Denmark agreed to end their border dispute after Russia invaded Ukraine and took the fun out of border disputes.
Has! The formal end of the dispute was to cut the island in half. There is actually a land border, about 1km long.
This is the pillar our EU membership rests on
Clearly, I need to find a Dane to get in a fight with. I could use a drink. :P
Do Not go up against a Dane for drinks. They will absolutely crush you.
If it’s to be a war of drinking stereotypes we could deploy the Newfies.
fun fact?

So, wildly stupid tangent, but this is how Doom maps works. Sound propagation moves through adjacent sectors to make “nearby” enemies become hostile. Sectors are polygonal regions of a map with one floor, ceiling, and brightness level.
And they don’t have to be contiguous. Originally this is so one switch can lower two pillars or whatever, but there’s no logical limit.
Doom has no concept of spawning in enemies. Everything you can kill has to be there, from the start. To make monsters zap in when you enter a room or flip a switch, the trigger has to raise a sector so a hidden box full of angry demons can walk over teleporters. Key word: angry. If they’re not hostile then they just stand there.
So anywhere the mapper wants enemies ornery before you arrive, they can make a little square in the middle of nowhere, with one half being a sector you’re obviously going to fight in, and the other half being the secret room full of shaved gorillas.
What possibly spawned this tangent?
