Denmark singles out US as a threat – a new geopolitical reality

As per Firefox translation Swedish to English (original article in Swedish, based on Danish newspaper reports that are behind a paywall). Article at risknet.xyz contains links to sources.

In a historic change, the United States is identified for the first time as a security threat in Danish intelligence service DDIS's annual threat picture report. The report, published in early December, highlights that the United States, along with other major powers such as Russia and China, is using its economic and technological power to influence smaller states – even its allies.

The report marks a clear departure from previous Danish security policy analyses, where the U.S. has been regarded as a guarantor of Denmark and Europe's security throughout the post-war period. Now the United States is instead highlighted as an actor whose actions partially undermine the rules-based international order.

“It hurts deep into the soul to read the report. It’s a worldview that’s put on end,” [Kristian Mouritzen] says.

I Set A Trap To Catch Students Cheating With AI. The Result Was Deflating

‘But there is a difference between recognising AI use and proving its use. So I tried an experiment. … I received 122 paper submissions. Of those, the Trojan horse easily identified 33 AI-generated papers. I sent these stats to all the students and gave them the opportunity to admit to using AI before they were locked into failing the class. Another 14 outed themselves. In other words, nearly 39% of the submissions were at least partially written by AI.‘

Re-assemble and attach Shimano Nexus gear

Hello! After I removed the rear wheel from a bike with a Shimano Nexus gear system to repair a puncture, I am having problems reassembling the rear wheel and its gear system: After screwing in the black screw (framed in yellow in the photo), it can be turned further without resistance. The gear shift can be easily removed from the wheel nut (pink arrow in the photo) instead of being firmly seated again.

I have repaired punctures on the same wheel before, removing and refitting the wheel in the process, but have not had any such problems.

I have not opened the gear box and cannot see any obvious damage. Any ideas what could be wrong?

UdSSR ist deutsch, aber USA ist englisch

Warum wurde für die UdSSR eine deutschsprachige Abkürzung verwendet (Union der Sozialistischen Sowjetrepubliken) statt der landessprachlichen Abkürzung CCCP, während für die USA eben die landessprachliche statt eine auf der deutschen Übersetzung basierende Abkürzung (z.B. VSvA) verwendet wird? Liegt es vielleicht daran, daß es eine deutschsprachige Minorität mit eigener Republik (Wolgadeutsche, 1920er) gab, und daher die UdSSR einen offiziellen deutschen Namen hatte, während die USA trotz deutschstämmiger und deutschsprechender Einwohner Deutsch nie als offizielle Landes- oder Minoritätensprache hatte?
