> Döstädning

I've never heard of this despite living in Sweden for over 30 years

I would have thought the Swedish word encapsulating a better life, would have been “fika”

Anyway, death cleaning seems more like a small Maria Kondo moment for Sweden than an actual cultural thing

I thought they were called Data Engineers nowadays

Nah, data engineers tend to specialize in moving data from point A to point B. DBAs tend to specialize in managing data in point A or point B.

Some people cultivate aspects of both skillsets of course and data engineers often end up doing DBA functions in point B (where analytical data is stored) while DBAs manage point A (OLTP source systems)

Data Engineers are DBAs who are trying to hide that fact as much as possible so they have time to learn kafka on the job.

I'm sure they would've died if they got run over by a train or a plane too, but unlike either of these scooters are actually common on pavement.

Thus the second paragraph

The current King of Sweden decided that he had enough and dropped all except King of Sweden from his.

Bad move. Now it takes one move to dethrone him.

He’s castled with the Stockholm Royal Palace so there’s a bishop and knight defending him, at least.

Ever since the Kalmar Union, Denmark has had the Swedish national emblem the Three Crowns as part of their Royal Coat of Arms. The union ended in 1523.

That's not much of a statement https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nopal

Cactus tacos are very tasty!

> We'll just keep shipping. And sleeping.

When do you actually ship though?

Agreed, I also think fans of Paradox games are doing the games a disservice by encouraging people to watch long youtube tutorials before they start instead of just jumping in and experiencing the mechanics. The important ones will become obvious after some time.

You do need to be a little engaged with the community just to learn about all the knobs that at some point you need to twist, which is I think the point of this thread after all.

As an example, a beginner might never realize that they need to redesign the starting division templates in HOI4 unless and until told - and this is a common issue on threads in r/hoi4.

Sure, go ahead. My ingame nickname is Dat12.

Not just at Spotify, at both of my previous jobs we were joking about picking up Klarna employees that has managed to disconnect from the Matrix.
