Yeah, that's very valid! I'd like to think that the technology got safer in the past years, but honestly I don't even wanna check and risk having to give up the coziness

I guess, but fire isn't very healthy either I think

The electric heating pad I sleep on. I wouldn't be surprised if some study finds that something about sleeping on wires would be kinda bad long-term. Maybe something about residual currents or the minimal magnetic field from the wires, idk

..when you have to eat Russian food?

Interesting! Is there a color for medicine that is absolutely necessary? I know that when I was seriously messed up and needed Antibiotics those were put on a pink slip, idk how optional those were :o

I've also seen the green papers, which are for completely self-paid stuff (so like, weird unproven teas and supplements)

That sounds nice and simple! I don't 100% understand the German system either, I just know that it costs about 15% of my income each month (half is paid by my employer), and if my doctor writes a prescription on a pink sheet of paper, the meds don't cost me more than like 5-10€ (apparently it's some sort of co-pay thing).

We also have a system for private health insurance, because people employed by the government aren't allowed to benefit from the government-subsidized health insurances. But I'm not earning enough to know specifics about it haha

It's also pretty shocking to find out what y'all have to deal with. German healthcare can be mildly annoying at times (the bureaucracy of finding the right form to fill out to get something like psychotherapy approved can be tedious), but I've never heard of anyone here getting their request dismissed without a good, legally predefined, reason. Apparently American Healthcare companies can just say no just because they feel like it?? whack.

let's go gamers 💣

Yup, thanks for the tip! I'll have to look up whether neem oil and pyrethrum are safe for reptiles, because my snake does roam the plant shelves sometimes 🥹

Most of my plants already are in Leca, I'll make sure to flush them all properly in case any bugs have made it to them.

oh, I think you're right! The reference pictures I looked at only showed green Aphids, but I guess they come in brown as well :o Thanks for the tip!

ew no, why would anyone want that

I mean, they'd get like one or two afternoons of googling around and watching youtube videos about the aliens biology, but I think I'd lose interest pretty fast

finally a place for us people who are too dumb for Unix 😔🥳

Pro tip: whenever a relative asks you to fix their computer, wipe everything and set up Linux for them. That'll teach em.

I've recently been listening to this Audiobook about Internal Family System therapy. And I think it's saying that most of these people are probably already living in your head 👍

I personally really liked https://learnjavascript.online/ when I was just getting started with JS. I use the knowledge from that course like every day at work now. The same guy also made a general programming course for beginners, I bet it's good as well: https://learnprogramming.online

What I especially liked about the course was that you got little assignments between each lesson, that you could just solve in their web IDE. So there's no fiddling around to set up an external IDE. Big big plus for me, I hate setting up stuff like that

Ah, der Remindme bot funktioniert noch nicht. Dann setz ich mir halt nen reminder auf dem Handy.
Falls sonst noch wer den Reminder haben will wenn's offen ist, gerne hier drunter antworten..

Die Unterschriften für NRW werden wohl erst am 08.12. eröffnet?

Plot twist: Anon was at a college party where everyone else was 20+, so they didn't want to diddle him
