Resplendent.

Impeccable.

Sublime.

Ah

Beans

Thanks!

I do take credit for my comments, tho. Nothing automated there!

Those are rookie numbers

(This is in jest, what I post takes less effort)

Looks at numbers.

Subtracts money being spent, from money being earned.

Huh.

Are you sure?

But potion seller, I am going into battle! I must have your strongest potions!

In my case, the wrist was not possible to set, even with the cast. Some stuff was pulverized and due to the broken ulna, other stuff had slipped out of place. The cast was only to prevent further damage.

The fentanyl dose I was given upon the arrival of the ambulance wore off as I was waiting for xrays and then to see a hand surgeon to interpret the result, so I asked for more, and was given some.

After that I spent a little over a week in constant pain while waiting for the surgery. A dislocated wrist hurts like hell.

I can’t imagine spending I single moment during that week without any kind of pain relief.

People love to shit on our healthcare system here, but in my experience it’s been amazing.

Same.

But in terms of quality of care, I have no complaints. The opposite. The nurses and doctors I interacted with were wonderful, and I made a point of telling them that. My surgeon in particular fought like hell for a result that would fully restore function in my hand. I was conscious for the surgery, so I got to sit in on the whole process.

Just under 800 euro iirc.

We do have that, too. (Private insurance and healthcare, I mean)

But most services even as a public patient do cost something here. Small stuff is usually a pittance, and if you say you can’t pay, they’ll either waive it or put you on an extremely generous payment plan. I know stuff like asking for painkillers in a waiting room is free though. Just the work of keeping track of that type of thing to charge for it, isn’t worth it.

But the more expensive stuff can add up. That’s why the maximum exists, but apparently even the extremely complex repair of my wrist, barely dents it.

Completely opposite to the finnish experience.

When I broke my ulna and dislocated my wrist, I took an ambulance ride to the hospital, got three xrays, a cast, and two doses of fentanyl.

Told to return the next morning for post-cast xrays of the damage, by the end of that I was scheduled for surgery 8 days later. Sent home with a prescription for some non-opioid painkillers. Picked those up for around 20 euros.

Received four hours of hand surgery. Over a dozen titanium screws and a titanium plate put in. Given three pills of an opioid based painkiller for sleeping through the worst of the post-surgery pain. And another prescription for more non-opioids.

Weeks later, removal of the surgery bandages and stitches. Xrays of how the bone was healing, followed by a consultation with a hand surgeon, and then a physical therapist on recovering motion in the wrist and fingers.

Months later one more round of xrays, and two more consultations with the physical therapist, and some follow-up with a hand surgeon due to the therapist noticing a lack of motion in my thumb, resulting in the discovery of some nerve-damage from the surgery (which I thankfully ended up recovering from).

By the end, I was sure I would max out the healthcare billing limit. This was the most expensive recovery from an injury I’d ever suffered. Finnish public health care is only allowed to bill you up to a maximum yearly amount, so as to never overload any one individual with debt. But it would still be a lot for me.

When I finally got an un-itemized bill, I was sure it was only the first of many.

Nope. It was the total. 87 euros and 40 cents.

“Hey… Nice mass surveillance system you got there, mind if I have a turn?”

It boggles my mind how some people thought privacy was worthless, and harmless to give up.

The original “One” phone was even supposed to run cyanogemod out of the box at one point.

If you have access to another device, you can log into icloud.com and remotely log out of the phone.

Files “deleted” from icloud can also be restored on icloud.com/recovery for up to 30 days after deletion.

Absolutely.

But this shit is falling apart a lot sooner than the nazi party did.

The Nazis were true zealots, while Trump is just a grifter, wrapped in so many lies there are no longer words he might spew that are capable of making sense to anyone paying attention. Additionally, a lot of people around him are in it for personal gain, not some sense of ideals.

You know, I’m grateful.

Hitler lost his grip on reality, after he started the second world war.

Nazi germany had a terrifying amount of terrible, and competent, people on its side.

Trump’s administration might be terrible… But competent?

Makes sense. He is one.

Also google when scammers want to advertise, vs when a real, one-person-business is trying to get off the ground.

ASK ME HOW I KNOW

Yes. But you don’t have to switch.

People say “start” with simpler distros because if you go past just using it as-is, and grow to understand linux closer to the system level, you’ll likely eventually end up preferring something more complex.

There’s little point to starting at the deep end, like arch, since you don’t know whether you’ll end up staying in the shallows yet. Either way, it’s the start. It can also be the end, but that is unknowable.

Too true.
