I was born in 1978

Some potatoes are simply too hot.

The impact on nature goes beyond climate gases. At least here in Germany fireworks produce 1% of the yearly pm10 particulates. That’s not nothing.

Per capita it’s Finland that drinks the most coffee apparently in total numbers it’s USA, Brazil, Japan, Indonesia…

Am I reading this wrong, or are apart from the Pepsi thing all per capita facts? How is this surprising you don’t need a large population for that.

I doubt that, I would think it’s like xenophobia it’s usually the strongest in pretty homogenous areas.

Weren’t they head of the human rights council?

Our son had a pseudo-croup attack, when he was about two. We have a number here in my country that you can call and they try to figure out your next steps. Since he was so young they pretty quickly told us to call an ambulance. Two paramedics came fairly quick and ordered an emergency doctor to the scene since they wanted to give him some medication they couldn’t give him on their own.

We were a little apologetic because we weren’t sure if calling them was warranted. But they were super nice and said we shouldn’t worry, it was their job and they’d rather drive to cases like this, were things go well then the other way round.

We gave them our insurance card, they left, and everything was fine.

Never in the whole process have I thought, oh my, I hope this isn’t going to cost too much. That is an awful thought. Our medical system here is far from perfect and I fear it’s going to get worse but it gives me a piece of mind that I don’t have to worry to go broke over it.

And the way families are insured really works well. You work and all your children and your partner (if they don’t work) are insured through you. No changes in payment, no questions (apart from: are they earning any money) asked.

Because a lot of them think they are somehow superior to others because they know who their ancestors were for the last 30 generations.

I’d rather have more play roads as they are called here in Germany, in all the areas people live and the roads are tight, with a walking speed limit.

I have a Garmin viomove hybrid, I use it to count steps, count my swimming and see how much I sleep. I wouldn’t want a smarter watch out of trust issues. Battery life still sucks 3-4 days but the analog watch works if the smart watch part is dead.
