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?

Just show up and show them the booking confirmation!

Becoming a solution architect in my field of work and thus earning more money.

Hope I could inspire you!

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?

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.

Maybe it’s the creators that delete your comments as well. Doesn’t have to be only YT.

YouTube and Spotify are paying license fees to be allowed to play music on their platform.

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!

Maybe the law should say „books must be carefully recycled by licensed recycling companies. Other means of disposal or destruction are illegal“ 😁

Danach unlockup!

Do backups. Don’t forget to test if recovery works as expected.

Das ist mal echt cool!

I don’t get the comparison.

It is true that it is often cheaper to buy a commercial solution + support in a company, instead of using open source and employing a fleet of admins to support it.

But that sure is not implied in the post.
