Lots of fjords... Ah, heaven! When I lived in New Hampshire the ocean proper was about 13 miles away. The Great Bay is a tidal estuary and was a bit closer. It was a fascinating place. I used to catch and release horseshoe crabs just to study one of the more successful designs. The White Mountains were about 60 miles north. Mt. Washington is only 6,288' but I think it's the 2nd highest east of the Mississippi. Now I have plenty of mountains but no ocean. However there is that seismic activity over on the west. One can hope.

They report that things do NOT seem to be going so well anymore. The govt is still selling the "Everything Is Sunny" shit. Islamists. Russia. Biker gangs tearing things up.

Denmark is basically a Good Place ... but it has made some BAD. oft 'PC', decisions and is now suffering. It will get worse before it, maybe, gets better.

Its just N Germany with a funny accent. It is boring as fuck. I remember being over there for a few weeks and feeling something wrong about the place, then we took a ferry to Sweden and I realised as we stepped off that I was seeing something I had never seen in Denmark.

Oh, the HORROR !!! > It's now just a giant windfarm where no one wants to live, dependent on > Scandinavian hydropower when the wind drops Like most countries they made some good, and some BAD, decisions. A little too sensitive to the "PC" shit IMHO. However Denmark is also SMALL - meaning fewer resources to cope with problems with their decisions and international conditions. Russian trawlers can obliterate that alt energy in an instant too. Oh well, a long time since King Bluetooth. Dunno WHERE in the world you can go for "boring" these days. Canada used to be OK, but now it's gone commie and things are not gonna get better anytime soon - also manage to treat their natives WORSE than the USA. NZ is popular, TOO popular now.

From long back, I viewed the EU as a sort of suicide pact. If it doesn't die from mismanagement or war it will die by becoming police states.

Pretty much ALL "phone" will work perfectly over Cat-3, often Cat-2. It's just a lower-speed tech. No, NOT pissing on it at all. HAS it's place. Never easily surrender last-gen tech - it's usually more robust. Traditional "phone" on Ethernet ... our old provider did that, but only on the wiring level. It was not a TCP/IP replacement. Normal PBX. NOW, different. Also "more vulnerable" Just Because.
