My health insurance costs 842€ a month. I pay half of it, the other half my employer. So I am quite impressed with the $20 from the estimation.

But why do two jobs? Won’t people do a better job concentrating on one thing and getting $2000 for that, instead of gaining experience in two different areas at the same time?

It was my second computer game that I bought. The first one was Warcraft 2. But that one did not have an endless mode.

And of course I copy the CD over to a new one every year. That way the magnetic field of earth is no issue for my game!

I am still not finished with Anno 1602 endless mode. It is getting kind of boring…

Let me fix that!

I define € means ∈ in the context of my comments.

I define € in the context of currency to be written as „€uro“

I learned something new here!

I thought an orgy would imply that for each fucking tuple (h1, h2) € F[H], there exists at least another pair where (hx, h3) € F[H], hx € {h1, h2}, so that there are not two disjoint strict subsets of O.

In textual words: When Tobi and Torben have sex, and Brunhilde and Gudrun have sex, I thought this is not an orgy. There must be a connection between those two pairs. I bet I am having an orgy with a lot of strangers by the definition of this paper.

That would mean I also have to change. 😵‍💫 But I am a big part of the problem!

Is there a „humanist nihilism“ movement? I mean a political and social narrative that the world would be better off without humans? Is there a party you can vote for, that aims to achieve this goal?

It started with a truck loaded with wrongly labelled veal. (Let’s write the light novel now! Reply to this comment with the next sentence!)

I like generic isekais. I think I am through with all the good ones…

I think I read all the good isekai already. Putting anything on my to-read list where people get to other worlds or are levelling.

Sorry for the disappointment 😅

Mangas on my todo list are

• The former top 1‘s sub-character training diary: A dedicated player is currently conquering another world

• My entire class was summoned to another world except for me

• problem children are coming from another world, aren’t they?

• Overgeared

Twitter turning into Truth Social?

Is that safe? My knowledge of Columbia is limited to what I learned watching Narcos on Netflix. But it did not look like a medically advanced country.

I used the power of search engines. Looks like I’m the big cities, health care is quite adequate. Have a nice trip!

Dental work is often also not covered in the standard insurance in Germany. You either have to get an extra insurance, or you pay out of pocket, or you live with the condition (all serious things are covered, cosmetics often are not). But even then the cost is usually on the hundreds, sometimes in the thousands. 40,000 is more than the average person earns here 🙃

Ah, I see. I kind of get that. Hate to go to the doctor for a sick note, when I know I just need sleep and tea.

Isn’t it cheaper to fly to Europe, visit a doctor, and fly back instead of going to the ER?

Also for “normal” treatments. Getting a baby costs like $2000 in Germany without insurance. Plus flight and hotel for two months you are still far below 10K in total cost. 😁

I also have no idea what you are trying to say.

I was just at the doctor a couple of times in November. Turns out I had a bronchitis, possibly with a bacterial superinfection.

So I was at the doctor to

1. Check if my lungs were affected. is there a danger of a lung infection?
2. Do I need antibiotics or should I sit it out?
3. Get a doctors note (I was on sick leave for three and a half weeks)

This is nothing I could google. I actually did google and did not find bronchitis as an issue, but cold, influenza, and lung cancer. Google does not know how my lungs sound when I breathe.

So of course you should ask your doctor and not the internet.

We tend to complain a lot about them. But compared to the US (and I don’t know any other system than US and Germany) it’s far better.

If you don’t take any loans your score gets better and better. If you take out a big loan it is at first negative, but after paying it off it may be even positive.

My mother never took out a load in her life and has almost a perfect score.

In the US you get rewarded for making credit card dept and paying off interest. That is actually a stupid way to handle money. In Germany you get rewarded if you save first and then spend your money.

The problems lie in the details. If you move to a poor neighbourhood your score drops. That is utterly stupid!

This is a tragedy for all Texans! Next, they will ban all medical examinations during pregnancies, so something like this will never happen again!

Die haben halt keine Schufa. Dank Schufa müssen wir keine Kreditkarten haben um uns irgendwann einen Baukredit leisten zu können. Das hat schon seinen Vorteil!

That’s long. 😱 For non emergencies I have waited long times. Like 40 minutes or even hours. But when I called the fire department once it came like 30 seconds after I had hung up. And it was just a smoking trash can, nothing really dangerous.
