The seedstudio is absolutely shit for frequent updates of the content,though, as it refreshes the whole screen everytime and is slow as hell. Send mine back after a lengthy exchange with the support.

… And yet almost all developed nations do it without any issues. … And funny enough technologies like micro trenching work for most use cades.

Oh boy…

The difference between the US the rest of the world is 4 years and due to the Edison-Westinghouse struggle the US were overtaken by the end of the century. (Same goes for Telephones btw. NY had less then half the phone lines Berlin had by 1900)

The argument with the time difference is often cited but not based on fact - it’s more about the fact that electricity networks in the US were a commercial/capitalist enterprise from the start which was not the case for European cities for a long time.

And even today power grids in the US are,well, seen as something to be run with the maximum amount of profits with the minimum amount of goverment regulation. If you consider the difference to Europe or parts of Asis it’s insane.

Yet almost all of the developed world does it…

He clearly did not say he was not at risk but less so - which totally falls within Niemöller and os absolutely correct.

That only works if the army stays united as a single power block and does not split.

Nope. Just an idiot. Shouldn’t have done the double shift. Overtime happens in this job.

And while I did not kill/hurt someone back then (as far as I know) I massively increased my patients risk of suffering from one - and I surely would have treated them at least faster.

Today I would never take this risk again voluntarily again - there are situations that might warrant it (I have responded to a few major disasters, mainly floods, over the years), but these are rare. That back then? That was stupid. In so many ways.

Worked 33h in a row as a paramedic. Normally not allowed here (24h is a hard limit, 12h standard). Not because I wanted to, not because someone got ill…we simply didn’t make it even close to the depot, for the last 4h simply a major crash happened right in front of us.

We returned to the depot and basically didn’t even have a single wound dressing, no O2, no collars, no blankets,nothing.

And the worst part: The whole time it wasn’t “the usual business” of old folks having a stroke or a fall. We had one mass casualty incident at the beginning of shift, a child in respiratory arrest and similar shit.

I slept for 12h straight after that and still felt like shit.

Nope, I talked only about treasuries that are publicly or similarly owned.

And tbf, her ovaries worked fine for quite some time it seems - she had two daughters who both were exceptional people in their fields as well - one got a nobel prize in chemistry, the other was a Pulitzer prize nominee, fought the nazis, was a war correspondent, had role in the establishment of NATO and UNICEF and -as a representative of UNICEF and together with her husband received a nobel peace price for the organisation. The later one died in 2007,btw.

(The whole family is totally crazy,btw. Both on her sisters and cousins side, but also her daughters and grandchildren and now grandgrandchildren. Everyone excelled in their scientific field)

It’s not the rare earth thing that China used - they literally talked about it in their media a few times.

They simply paraded a economic atomic bomb around wallstreet enough that these guys got scared enough and called Donnie (might even be the real reason Musk and him had a fallout) - who in term tried to persuade the Arabs to help him out if the PRC would pull the trigger.

Whaf economic bomb? The bonds and, to a far lesser degree, shares. The PRC owns around 682 billion dollars in US bonds. Combined with currency reserves (around 1.5-2 Trillion USD) and other similar things it is expected to wield a total market power of around 3 trillion USD. Even putting 20% of these on the market with a “we don’t care about the losses,motherfucker” directive would ruin the US econmy for a decade in possible domino effects.

The funny things? In terms of bonds China is not even that big - Japan has almost twice that, the UK has 888 Billion. Even Belgium has around 400 billion of US bonds.

In other words: If Europe would finally get their shit together and parade it’s own,much larger, economic H-bomb ready AND would make it clear that they would be willing to use it Donnie would still pout,but do much less. But of course…we don’t. Germany has a wallstreet manager as a chancellor, Macron is on it’s way out, Meloni is in bed with him, etc.

This will literally lead to European lifes being lost at some point.

Tbh, it could also be an option for the EU to speed up the membership process for Moldavia to protect it from Russian interference (or even invasion if the situation in the Ukraine goes to shit): Let Moldavia join Romania as an autonomous province and pay the bill for Romania. And in the meantime the membership rules would not be compromised and fucking Orban couldn’t do shit.

I like this solution,tbh, but I also fully understand Moldavians wanting to preserve their independence.

And of course there is also the transnistria-Issue.

Depends very much on the company and the field. There are whole companies who’s business model is to do research and sell it to the highest bidder. And in med tech a fuckton of research is conducted,even more since the MDR in the EU.

While it’s might not be what you might be looking for,but I used to work in a forensic psychiatry (including high security ward) in a central European country.

What do you want to know?

Yeah. You are not a nurse.

Yeah? The Rhine allows 2500t load and up to 110m long ships, with special permits up to 5000t and 185m.

10% of all swiss trade and 40% of all hydrocarbons are brought through there…

So yeah, kind of ocean-going. There are numerous private ships there that are fully ocean going.

Simply choose a private DNS server like mullvad,quad,etc. and it should work…

Try the Black Forest. We have Lynx and wolves and even a mysterious elk this summer.

And tbh, V60 is a high average to fall from. Had one of these and while I didn’t loved it, I liked it. To quote a friend of mine who still owns one “brutally average and brutally versatile”.

Try a EV6 or 3,though. Good EVs are a huge difference when it comes to “fun in everyday driving” imho, due to their different engine characteristics.

Especially as a European the first two things can be changed to some degree. I live within sight(200m) of a proper nature park that basically is an extension of an national park. And I have four different options for fast train travel within an hour and a (most of the time) reasonably good regional connection and a almost perfect regional connection 25min away.

Tbh, we did specifically move here for these things.

In terms of driving I must disagree - I have driven various cars from the 60ies and while they are gorgeous from the outside, the inside was always very underwhelming and also simply exhausting to drive. But maybe I am also too different - I used to have big company cars (BMW 5, Audi A4/6/7, MB C/E) and did not really like them. Nowadays I drive a EV6 and it’s the most fun car I ever had,by a higr margin.

First time at 8…when my drunk ass neighbour jumped from his 10m high roof and landed on his patio.

Ended with a Helicopter and everything, he actually survived.

Second time was when I was already an EMT to call for backup.

Last time was on Monday to,well, call for backup as an paramedic as radio reception was shit.
