You're too slow!
  • I'm not sure how they handle that here.

    Sometimes I get a box with a ridiculously small amount, I think I got 5 or 8 pills in a box.

    I know people who get custom packaged medicine, but that is delivered.

  • You're too slow!
  • Yeah.

    The doctor puts my prescription in the system. It's available in any pharmacy immediately. (Sometimes the doctor makes a note to the backoffice, which will then put it in the system. On a busy day this can take hours.)

    I can then go to any pharmacy without pre arranging anything. At the register I say what I want (or if I'm not sure they can check my prescriptions), and a few seconds later I get it, I pay, I leave. I don't think I've ever waited more than a minute.

    In some pharmacies there's a robot that will find the medicine while I continue the conversation and pay, making it zero waiting time.

    I'm not sure exactly what "fill it" means to you. Here it means grab a box or bottle from the stock, stick a label on it and hand it over. The label has my name and a note from the doctor about its usage.

  • 512MB ram is nothing now
  • My first PC was FULL of memory. It had ALL the memory. No amount of money could add more. It had 640KB. It was crazy.

    My first computer wasn't a PC, it had 64KB RAM. I never needed more.

  • Mullvad will no longer be able to accept DKK from its customers
  • When I was in Denmark I was shocked how many cameras there were, everywhere. I mean not just in the city, but everywhere on the countrywide.

    I've lived in Denmark for decades. The only cameras I see are basically surveillance cameras in stores etc and speed cameras. I see more cameras in most other countries I go to.

    We have nothing compared to fx. London.

    Where did you see cameras?

    Denmark is one of those weird countries where its illegal to have your map software tell you where the speed cameras are.

    That's not correct. You can even buy gadgets for this in many stores.

  • Texas deputies shoot woman mistaken for intruder, bodycam video shows
  • The cops aren't going to sit there and wait for the person to start shooting at them.

    That's what they do in countries where non-criminals aren't afraid of the police, and they seem to do much better both in terms of staying safe and keeping the citizens safe.

  • McDonald's is promising 'attention to affordability' after the price of Big Mac meals hits $18
  • I live in Denmark, Europe. One Bic Mac meal is 9.39 USD incl taxes.

    The minimum salary in McDonals is around 3500 USD per month for a standard 37 hr/week, including pension.

    This is every month, not affected by holidays, sick leave, paid vacation... It comes with 5 or 6 weeks of paid vacation per year, and virtually unlimited sick leave.

    Yeah, I also don't understand why McDonald's says they can't raise salaries or improve working conditions, because it will make the price go up. So why is it expensive now?

    (Yes, taxes are high here. But we also have a lot of stuff that is tax paid, that evens it out somewhat.)

  • Folketingsmedlem sygemeldt på grund af udfordringer i familien
  • vi bliver nødt til at sørge for, at vi alle har samme muligheder

    Har vi ikke det?

    Enhver medarbejder kan sygemelde sig med stress, med fuld løn. Derefter kan de vælge at udtale sig offentligt om hvad der stresser dem, eller lade være. Enhver som udtaler sig om grund til sygdom, risikerer at blive nedgjort af folk der er uenige.

    Og når man kommer tilbage til jobbet er der en større risiko end normalt, for at miste jobbet af helt urelaterede årsager.

  • same bed length
  • "Barely ever"? Isn't that enough?

    My car can drive 4 people and their luggage. I need that every time my family goes anywhere.

    But usually it's just me and my laptop bag, maybe a couple of grocery bags.

    So I'm that guy. Big car, rarely filled to capacity. What do you suggest I do? Buy two cars to reduce waste?

    (Although mine is not an American pickup, it's a European station car. If that changes anything.)

  • Where did the recent air fryer trend come from anyway?
  • I wish my normal oven was a convection oven so I didn't need an air fryer.

    Here, pretty much everybody has a convection oven. I wish I understood why air fryers are so popular here.

    I've heard one argument: "Mine can stir the fries"

  • In Germany we say "Arbeitnehmerrechte" and I think that's beautiful
  • So $10 plus a $3 tip is "paying extra" to you people

    Yes. The price is 10. I pay 13. That's 3 more. Simple math.

    you're gonna happily pay the same shitty owner $15 "and no more

    That's a straw man argument. I probably won't support a shitty owner at any price.

    What I want is to know the price up front, without checking for loopholes, adding tips and whatever. I don't care how simple the math is, or how much I love math or how good I am at calculating in my head, or how big the impact is to my personal economy.

    I see a price, I either pay it or I don't. There's a reason that anything else is literally illegal where I live.

    You're welcome to have your opinion, this is mine.

    Again, I don't mind tipping if I actually get extra. I'm a big tipper, if I get more than I'm paying for.

    just licking some capitalist footwear under the guise of a kind of false consumerism

    Wow, that's American level defense of capitalism. Where I'm from, we pay a lot more attention to consumer rights and employee rights.

  • In Germany we say "Arbeitnehmerrechte" and I think that's beautiful
  • Fair enough, they can both be shit. I just don't see how it's my responsibility as a customer, to fix the problem that the resto is underpaying its staff.

    The way I usually do my part to help workers who are not treated well, is to boycott the employer. If tipping is seen as a solution to that problem, I'd call that enabling. Tipping is the only reason restos can get away with grossly underpaying their staff. I don't want to support that.

  • In Germany we say "Arbeitnehmerrechte" and I think that's beautiful
  • Are you seriously saying that the customer who pays full price and no more is "a piece of shit", and not management who chooses to underpay the staff?

    I'm not having any of that. I'd rather just not eat out. Enjoy no tip AND one less customer.

    I'll pay extra when I get extra. I paid over 150% yesterday. I've given big tips for free services. People sometimes give my cash tip back assuming I accidentally gave them 10x my intention. But not when it's a simple transaction when I get what I ordered and I'm paying the advertised price.

  • Offsite Backups with Slow-ish Upload?
  • Seemingly. 🙂

    My ISP only has symmetric. The cheapest one they advertise costs about 10 Big Macs per month.

    I can't speed test my connection as my wifi is the bottleneck. But the way our law is, they can't really lie about speed. The "up to" trick was banned a long time ago.
