  • Is US healthcare always paid even in the most extreme circumstances?

    Jump

  • Your instinct is correct: the reason for injury doesn't matter, you shall pay. Welcome to the US of A where peasants be screwed by capitalists and the peasants usually ask for more of the same.

  • If there's nothing else, Germany can complain about Deutsche Bahn! I have a long commute to work (my employer ist sehr schlect in some ways), so I've spent many months playing "will it, won't it" on RE train delays. I even had one vanish on the app after it claimed to pass through my station. Geistbahn!

    The dumb part is that I started visiting Germany back in 1995. The trains ran much better. Nich so viel Störungen oder unregelmaßig dingen. Good memories only cover over so many cracks, though.

    It'll only take about 20 years of big investment to rebuild the train network after so many decades of underinvestment by conservative governments. No worries, any day now.

  • I kept seeing discussions about the way things generally work in Europe, the rights people have, and the cultural appreciation for people's health and I finally said "fuck it! Let's move to Europe". I'd been visiting for decades off and on, so we made it permanent.

    It only took three years of applying for jobs, saving, and finally getting all of our family needs in order, but we did it. If you can, give it a look.

  • Mülltrennung ist seht wichtig! Wir wissen das, aber die Gelbetonne ist komisch.

    Unsere Wohnung hat kein nachbar jetzt. Es ist ein neues bau, und die Vermieter ist Meiter suchen. Ruhezeit ist sind die besten teil von Deutschland!

  • Bingo! Yeah, it's bad there.

  • I had my first real sickness for time off since I moved to Germany. I had a call with a doctor, they pushed a sick note into the digital health system, and my company noted it as paid time off.

    Modern civilization in a developed nation rocks.

    Now if we could just get the paperwork to die down a bit... Oh, and find a way to get the trains on time!

  • Undeveloped societies can be like that. It's often places that don't have many rights for the citizens and are worse off in wealth then the pre French Revolution France. Basically peasants with smart phones given this day and age.

  • It's the old adage about Conservatives: They don't care what you do unless it's a boy or a dead girl.

  • Germans increasingly concerned over social inequality

    Jump

  • Basically: conservatives keep trying to steal all the wealth for the wealthy and the public noticed that they'd be screwed (again/still).

    The Conservatives: we'd love to help all of those staving kids and homeless people, but we'd have to tax a couple of billionaires. Sorry, can't do it.

  • And then when the wheels come off you just need to sit through a bunch of boring congressional hearings before they cut you a really big cheque.

  • Walking is canceled

    Jump

  • Henceforth, a minimum of an individual personal transport pod must be used at all times when leaving the comfort spaces! No facilities are made for unprotected movement around the surrounding area.

  • Elon Musk is digging a car tunnel under Nashville, Tennessee to reduce traffic jams. Local officials are worried.

  • That explains so much about why the various stations on the Berlin Ubahn lines either do or don't have shopping inside of them!

  • Neighbors: Blockades are pop-up parties that also slow down ICE agents

    Jump

  • These are awesome. It's good practice to learn how to build these, meet neighbors, and find out who is on the side of the community.

    Shake some hands, learn some names, hear their stories. Some of these people might be holding the line next to you if things go further South and they'll have your back if you're a neighbor now.

  • Like the number of remaining torpedoes, plenty more where they came from

  • Now that's a dedication to Nerdiness that the Web used to reek of! Thank you for linking to that.

    I would challenge their final paragraph about medical staff. Given the length of time Voyager was traveling, I'd expect at least one or two members to learn at least some medical skills to augment sickbay. They might be official medical staff, but any sideways references to a 'team' or pluralized sickbay could be easily handled by anyone who crash coursed into it.

    I would also like to see the square meters per Voyager crew member. The ship had tons of space to go around.

  • Computers are amazing in that you really can't hurt them unless you physically pull them apart (under normal circumstances).

    What is not so amazing is that while you can't hurt the hardware, you can lose your data. The data is not replaceable so have copies and backups around!

    You can always reinstall, but you can't reconstitute data once it's truly gone.

  • Gparted is a wonderful tool.

    Please practice on a thumb drive or sd card to learn about partitions, formatting, and resizing before you touch anything production like your main hard drive.

  • "Just one more lane, bro! We'll fix traffic! Just one more lane..."

    Burying the lanes doesn't make them less subject to the geometry of cars.

  • Cut and Cover FTW. That's how many many cities got 10's of km of subways/metros in only a few years. They actually dug the roads up, did the work, and had it buried within 6 months or even less per km per construction front. It's way cheaper and faster than all of this deep tunnel work we keep seeing everything get all excited about these days.

    Cut and Cover stations also have quick access to the streets. You don't need to spend 5 minutes riding the escalator up and down just to get to your train since it's basically 1.5 stories down the steps.
