  • For the foreseeable future, yes. However, I would like to start at a university in a year’s time. I still need to figure out what I want to study.

    University application system of Denmark

    In Denmark, all studies have a certain amount of available spots. This varies from university to university and between different studies. There are obviously way more spots for studying medicine than Russian.

    You can apply for university in two groups (da: kvoter); group 1 and group 2. When applying for group 2, you also apply for group 1. When applying for group 1, the only thing that matters is your average grade from your secondary education (usually Gymnasium). The university starts with the person with the highest average grade, and then go down the list until all spots are filled.

    When applying for group 2 there are various additional factors, that can get you a spot, if your average grade is not good enough to be picked in group 1. Different studies can have completely different requirements for group 1. Let’s say you want to study music. Then an additional factor could be that you’ve started your own band, wrote your own song or something. I don’t know if that’s actually a benefitting factor anywhere though.

    .

    Since my I have a high average (10.5), I can get a spot in nearly any education I want in Denmark, as long as I have the correct subject qualifications (I can’t do medicine, because I only have chemistry C, while they require chemistry B). However, my subject qualifications still mean that I can get into a lot of different studies. This makes it hard for me to choose what I want to do, since my interests are also diverse. Some fields I like: Urban Planning, Linguistics, Geography, Diplomacy, History, Programming (I want to learn python).

    So right now, I am just threading water, enjoying life and making money until I know what I want to do. But I like learning and I liked being in school, so I will definetly educate myself further.




  • Sometimes I get a bit carried away and it gets late. There is always more to map, so the work is never done. That’s why I need to make projects and finish them one by one to feel like I’m making progress. It’s very rewarding to resolve notes that other people have left, because that means that I helped someone, and that makes me happy :)















  • Offentlig transport særligt tog larmer MERE end elbiler.

    Tog larmer selvfølgelig mere end elbiler, men der kører ikke tog forbi flere gange i minutet. Når man bor op ad en vej med 50 km/t som fartgrænse eller endnu værre en motorvej, så er man udsat fra en konstant, dronene vejstøj i dagtimerne.

    Så når du siger el biler larmer er det MEGET subjektivt

    Det eneste jeg siger er, at elbiler larmer lige så meget som ICE-biler når de kører mere end ca. 50 km/t (den præcise hastighed er som sagt usikker). Det er det som dataene i vejdirektoratets undersøgelse siger. Derfor bør man efter min mening sætte hastigheden ned de fleste på de flest 50 km/t veje i byerne. Det vil også have andre gode følger som færre, og mindre farlige uheld.

    Gearsnak

    Snakken om gear er ikke så vigtig for min pointe, så den kommer i en spoiler så kommentaren ikke bliver overvældende lang.

    Jeg har aldrig sagt at gearet ikke havde en effekt på støj, jeg sagde (lidt kluntet) at automatgear også har det. Efter at have undersøgt forskellene mellem automatgear og elbilers “gearing”, er jeg dog kommet frem til at jeg havde misforstået det. Jeg troede at elbilers “gearing” og automatgear var ca. det samme men det er det vist ikke, så der er sikkert noget støjreduktion at hente i accelerationen for elbiler.

    Jeg søgte på wikipedia og der står:

    Globally, 43% of new cars produced in 2015 were manual transmissions, falling to 37% by 2020. Automatic transmissions have long been prevalent in the United States, but only started to become common in Europe much later. In Europe in 1997, only 10–12% of cars had automatic transmissions.

    Så jeg har ret i min opfattelse om at de fleste nye biler er med automatgear (i hvert fald i USA og Storbrittanien)

    Så hvordan finder du det nødvendigt at brokke sig over noget der er en så stor forbedring?

    Jeg brokker mig ikke. Jeg påpeger bare at el-biler ikke er en løsning på trafik og støjproblemerne i sig selv. Den løsning er, som jeg ser det, udbyggelse af kollektiv trafik og lavere hastighedsgrænser, med det mindske vores afhængighed af bilen som transportmiddel (især i og imellem byerne).

    Med det sagt, så er jeg ikke som du måske tror, imod el-biler. På sigt bør alle biler være el-biler, fordi det er en del af den grønne omstilling. Det er bare også vigtigt samtidig at reducere mængden af biler på vejene i det hele taget.
