Having your dog off leash should be punishable by getting mauled by dogs. Maybe then people would learn.

How is mince meat but mincemeat is fruit? The Brits truly should never have been allowed to have a language.

We could stop having any relevant conference in the US until the rule of law is reinstated, please.

I guess technically the EC chairs only promised that the reviews would be available (roughly) 24 hours after the first email. They never said for how long. 🤷‍♂️ My condolences to anyone who didn't immediately check.

If you want to give out swag I'll actually use/wear, the answer is always socks.

The authors are delighted to inform you that they have chosen to send a rebuttal to your review. The rebuttal to your review will be available in 24 hours.

Interested in the security of MPC implementations? Peter Scholl (@schollster.bsky.social) and I are looking for research interns to study the theory/practice gap for MPC. We can host multiple interns in Aarhus for the summer 2026. More information: mpcinthewild.github.io Help us spread the word!

Wtf is wrong with people? Why is this train full? Who takes the train on Sunday morning? Off to new adventures I guess.

The most essential part to buying anything in Denmark is pretending that you don't know what the exchange rate is.

I'm now on the 5th train of this 3 train journey.

Dear Denmark, your persistent contravention of the Schengen agreement makes me sad. Please stop making me sad.

On my way to Aarhus. We'll see what delightful adventures the rail system has in store for us today.

My thoughts on the IACR election issue (since many have asked privately): - This was an honest accident, and Moti Yung deserves being cut some slack. Yes, it’s a silly mistake, but mistakes happen. - The IACR board reacted excellently and scheduled timely follow up elections. Continued in thread

[Insert joke about these being the "strictly necessary cookies"]

First session of baking Christmas cookies ✅

Most people have an above average number of legs

Physio: In another week you'll be cleared to start running again. Make sure to start slowly. Me, thinking: Oh so an easy 5k to start. P: Like super slow. M: Okay, maybe 3k. P: 100m, 200m max. M: 😭

we need a department of kerning

That feeling when you'd convinced yourself that you found a brilliant solution to a problem only to realize that you've been ignoring the actual hard part of the problem.

Apparently a few cars need to enter the parking structure for it to be empty.

Sometimes you just have to admit that you wouldn't be any good at running a successful tradwife channel. Smells heavenly though.

He's the Pied Piper? He's going to rid New York of rats and then refuse to pay himself?

BOGESTRA: There's an accident, you need to get off the subway. Me: Ok, what now? Them: We can't be arsed to send a rail replacement bus. B: So what are the options? Them: Good news is that there's a regular bus running a similar route. M: ... B: Bad news is that they're full and won't even stop.

In the Taunus mountains north of Frankfurt we celebrated Laubmännchen on Whit Monday. One of the kids would dress up as the spring and the other would pull it through town in a handcart decorated with fresh leaves. We would then demand eggs and bacon at every house.

Mathematicians always claim to love blackboards. But what they don't want you to know is that most of those boards are green.

I'M ALLOWED TO WALK! Now to find out if I remember how.

TIL that while we managed to agree with the Brits on a *date* to change the clocks, we apparently couldn't agree on a time. 🤦‍♂️ Timezones are truly cursed and DST even more so.

"By standard hybrid argument"

I'm a bit confused where anyone got the idea that Germany had any kind of principled position on this.

Very helpful. 👍 I mean telling me *what* I need to do would be even more helpful, but you know. 🤷‍♂️ Anyway, apparently I no longer have access to my emails on my phone. Well, we had a good run.

What? No I'm not hopping around on one leg because I can't carry anything when waking with crutches. I'm doing single leg plyometrics!

Well, Shit.

Dogs are just the worst.

An MRI is an interesting combination of plasticky Star Trek esthetics and the soundscape of a construction site. Also takes a lot longer than I expected.

I have to wonder by what distance metric that's "near me".

Well that's working perfectly Strava. I always wanted the route to 2cm offset from where I'm drawing.

I really hope the local sports club got 10% off when they had their track built. Because that thing is only 360m long.

If you're digging a hole that requires moving more than say 2 m³ of dirt, you should be legally required to put up a sign explaining what you're doing. Don't just keep me hanging like this.

First time running *below* sea level.

Well that was unexpectedly successful.

Soooo... I'm in a giant Kvickly and they do not seem to stock rice? Wtf is going on? Where are they hiring the rice?

Danish bathrooms quite often seem like some kind of joke. This particular one uses a new twist on an old idea and has a washing machine inside the shower stall.

I hate induction stoves.

Why tf have most websites pivoted to just assuming that you're not already signed up and make actually logging in a weird treasure hunt for the login button.

*Laughs in Mettbrötchen*

They keep adding more and more signs, as if that's going to stop people.

Whenever I read an American recipe I have the strong urge to go on a mission telling them about our Lord and Savior the kitchen scale.

The heatwave can't be considered over before my coconut oil resolidifies.
