not so surprising that scandinavia is topping that list

but i feel like i should be topping that list, specially today after i realized the difference between likelihood and probability regarding information theory

i read something saying denmark always tops the list because it's part of danish culture not to complain about anything
probably somebody could back this up, since i can't be bothered finding the article

There was an article some months ago in an international magazine saying we are/were the happiest people in the world. I think it was also posted on this forum.
Well, I feel like the happiest guy on earth these months, so maybe it's true

It's probably because they start the day with a Carlsberg and a shot of Gammel Dansk on the way to work!
