What’s it like to go to doctor?

Well, annoying. Something is wrong in your body and that’s never fun. And then they need to do some procedures that also usually won’t feel nice.

A broken arm, for example, probably means some kind of painkiller pushed into my muscles with a syringe. That hurts. And then I’ll be needing a cast. Meh.

This answer sounds kind of banal… But this is proably about what you did expect(?)
And I don’t know if I’d have to pay. Never broken an arm. Probably nothing. Or maybe many tens of euros? Definitely not over 50 €, though.

I’m in Finland, but this should, by all logic, apply to pretty much the whole of not-USA.

WYSIAWYG

Yeah, that’s true. Although, not by much. I remember that in 1990’s there was still plenty of distrust towards them, as they were seen as nazis. Nobody wanted Germany to become strong. The 1990’s began 45 years after WWII had ended, and while the trust had been almost recovered, it was still not intact. I’m not sure if it’s even now: Germany is the biggest reason we didn’t support Ukraine militarily as much as needed back in spring 2022. They wanted cheap gas and were ready to accept horrors in the name of political realism. It’s hard at least for me to not see a connection between that cynicism and what the same cynicism led to in 1920’s and 1930’s.

Yeah, that’s absolutely correct, I agree!

But, it won’t return our trust towards USA. That will take decades, no matter what. Dethroning Trump is a good beginning. Or beginning of a beginning. But actual permanent changes would need to take place, amd I don’t really see them 8n the horizon.

Oh, thanks for the heads-up! I edited the comment now. And know to be careful with this in the future!

There are legislative bodies that exist precisely for changing such laws. Make an exceptional law that is valid for only this one time use and then hire new judges, some of which are allowed to be among the ones fired.

So, basically one NATO member is saying that it will not honour its commitments if Spain ever gets attacked?

And maybe this means that all official documents will have to be delivered to the Spanish by some other NATO member state?

A suspension that suspenses nothing. Hooray.

That would decrease my trust. It would look like they are doing nothing to learn from their FAFO.

…and that time is about two generations. People reproduce at around age 25, so two generations are about 50 years.

I hope other countries will heed the warning.

Simple: refrain from doing any stupid shit for half a century. Any stupid shit will kick the timer backwards 70% of the elapsed time.

(There really is no other way)

On PieFed there is:

Woah! I read tuhat part of their message as sarcasm and was surprised by the sudden change of to be… But they really meant it literally!

Therapy won’t help instanteneously. It also will alleviate the suffering, but not remove it.

An example of this, mayhap?

Anuto tower defence?

Choosing between USD and EUR is a fraud scheme, though. They have an exceptionally bad exchange rate for the non-EUR currencies. It’s basically always cheaper (unless your own bank is an absolute madhouse!) to choose payment in local currency and let your bank do the conversion.

A tent sauna wastes tremendeous amounts of energy. You’ll need a disproportianely large kiuas for a small space, and you will be wasting some extra wood. But otherwise, it does work. And also, needing to heat it more actively does increase the airflow, which is a nice thing!

Hey, thanks for the clarification!

Try searching for these three in some image search or video platform:

The carbrains are mad indeed. They are super annoyed that “we built a bridge for one billion euros and then blocked cars from it for no reason!”

Of course the bridge cost a bit over 300 millions. But, there was a larger project where they included everything they needed to build in the vicinity of the bridge project, so that they wouldn’t need to dig the ground open, fill it, dig it open again, etc. And everything included, the project did indeed cost a bit over one billion. That number includes the four-lane Hakaniemi bridge, built mainly for cars and without any public transportation routes. And it includes the groundwork for many new houses. And some 10 km of new tram line. And a tram depot. And a block of flats that will be built right overneath the tram depot. Of course, when the flats will be sold, much of the costs of that house will be paid back to the city. And then there are two further tram bridges.

There is no space for more cars in the street network on the cape where the city centre of Helsinki is located, so they would have needed to spend at least 500 million extra to accommodate for the cars that would come from that bridge. Plus, the bridge itself would have had to be built three times as wide as it was built now, which would have cost some hundreds of millions as well. For anybody not going for the centre, there is anyway a better route through another bridge on the northern end of the Laajasalo island. So, not spending some 700 million extra, bringing the total cost of the project from a bit over one billion to a bit under 2 billion, meant that money was wasted.

I’ve been wondering, why do they not complain that no cars are allowed in the metro tunnels? Why dig tunnels and then prohibit driving cars in the perfectly good tunnels??
