  • Come to think about it, mass buying food vouchers wherever possible during times of extreme currency instability is probably not a novel idea.

  • But think of the landlords!

  • Semi relatedly, there's some new blocks in my city that are both ugly and expensive to live in. It's this soulless, almost corporate feeling type of architecture. Doesn't fit into how the city looks at all. They had the opportunity to decide whether to build affordable housing or something pretty that aesthetically fits into the city and picked neither. No doubt the shareholders shed a tear of joy.

  • I mean if you just talk about your profession and never link anything, surely it won't look like an ad? And it's a fascinating profession that I'm sure people like to learn about.

  • Nederlanders vs Snow

    Jump

  • The reason for that is almost certainly psychological, you're way more careful if you can feel every tiny slip and know there's no metal cage protecting you. Similar to how youre less likely to hurt yourself with a sharp knife vs a dull one (though theres more reasons than the psychological aspect there). And I guess part of it is ow speeds; but even then:

    Bicycles are more likely to slip on a snowy, icy or even wet road, simply because they have a smaller surface that touches the road. Also, as opposed to anything 3+ wheeled, they lean into turns and can slip sideways that way. I have a cool laceration scar on my chin to prove that.

    So, I guess my point is, don't take this comment to mean bikes are the safest vehicle in the snow, folks.

  • Nederlanders vs Snow

    Jump

  • I don't cycle when there's snow on the road (bc I hurt myself that way once), but know from others there are spike tyres for bicycles. Keep in mind though that this still won't give you the amount of stability you may be used to from something four wheeled. Be careful not to lean into turns too much, ime that's the situation where slipping is most likely.

  • Idk how old OOP is, but I'm almost 30 and I never got a polio vaccine. My mum was very diligent getting me vaccinated too, I got all the whoopng cough, measles etc. shots. Even got tuberculosis for some reason, but polio was considered so near extinct that it wasn't on the list.

    (thanks for making me check my vaccination passport to confirm this btw, found out this way that I need to get something refreshed)

  • If 250ml of garlic sauce is a menu item, someone likely conceived of this ahead of time.

  • My mum used to work in a town where they make a kinda popular chocolate in middle Europe, like small step up from store brand type stuff (milka, in case anyone's faniliar). She'd always bring home their factory shop 'mystery chocolate' that was very openly literally this: the bars right after they'd switch flavors, and they would be a non predictable mix between the two. I loved that stuff more than the actually store bought chocolate as a kid because you'd genuinely never know what you'd get. They came in these super non distinct plain white wrappers too, which added to the charm.

    Hospital Bill 1961

    Jump

  • Tangential, for ambulance cost only.

    Once a year, I get a sort of info letter that lists every bill my healthcare has paid for me that year. So, I know what medical costs actually are in my country where healthcare prices aren't being artifically inflated by healthcare being privatised.

    I had a short ambulance ride in 2020. It was billed for about 90€. That's what it would actually cost if they couldn't charge whatever tf they want due to privatised healthcare.

  • ED sufferers will use a wide variety of excuses to justify restricting, both internally and externally. If someone genuinely associates this with veganism itself, they were already looking for reasons to be anti vegan, or susceptible to anti vegan talking points. If they weren't, and thought critically for a second, they'd look it up for 2 minutes and find out that vegans can be obese, bodybuilders, normal weight, athletic, or anorexic, just like anyone else.

  • Half of these are still in use simply because some people think they're cool, or when someone prefers to not have to rely on technology (e.g. paper maps don't run out of electricity while you're on a long hike).
