Yeah,same for me. I avoid non-chain-operated hotels for that meanwhile - they are usually worse and often the owners are on such a high horse that they expect you to be thankful to spend your money there. With hotel chains you at least have a central customer support you can complain to.

Last highlight: Was in a mid-market private hotel (no chains around there) and on the first evening my toilet seat broke. I mean, yeah, I am a little bit overweight but not nearly enough for that being the cause normally, so very likely it was just wear. Happens, no biggie.

The reaction of the owner was the reason why I will never visit that establishment again - and neither will any of my staff: First they tried to ridicule me/accused me of intentionally vandalism, then they tried to make me put it through my insurance (won’t fly, they won’t pay a thing unless they can prove proper maintenance). And then she took 5 days to repair the bloody thing.

Saw her treat her staff incredibly bad as well…so…

Yeah, neither my staff nor me will come back. That makes them lose around 10k in income. But hey, it’s just “that remote working thing” and “everything getting more expensive”. Nope. It isn’t. It’s them.

oh wow… another semi-open source project management software. another one! Just what we waited for!

Like Open Project, Leantime, Taiga, etc. etc.

God damn it, build one fully open source and free or update Redmine properly.

Got exactly the same story with Skoda. Highlights were “Speed display crapping out mid journey - through Switzerland” or “Steering wheel getting loose”. Funnily enough the part that always worked without any issue was the EV part of the PHEV.

Unofficially our (very good) local dealer told us that VW did reduce QA, especially chip wise.

In the end we sued them, they tried to bully us and then they gave in two days before the trial date - we could return the car. Now we drive Hyundai and Volvos exclusively.

This is such a bad and sensationaliat article - completely ignoring that we use protontherapy for quite a while now.

Yeah, you’re of course right, after a 12h shift people should go outside in the dark rainy night instead of enjoying themselves for an hour in front of a PC and first and god forbid they live in a region without much nature.

Timberborn is always nice,

so is Minecraft.

Subnautica is also very relaxing after you know your way around it.

But Red Dead Redemption 2 is the most “chill” game for me. You can simply go out to hunt, enjoy the nature, etc.

…that is not even good advertising…

Yeah, thankfully in central Europe our “bumfuck nowhere” still means that some infrastructure is reachable within 120min usually - and as long as the weather permits we throw dozens of helicopters at it.

Personally I am far more afraid of other scenarios therefore.

What if I tell you that even most ambulance services work with JIT?

I work in disaster planning - so if you want a really good disaster to happen then give me a call.

To be more serious:

I write disaster response plans mostly for the medical field, e.g. hospitals, nursing homes. That starts with ordinary fires and flooding, but also includes things like “IT outtakes”(which kill far more people than fire each year), “supply line collaps”, etc.

We also train staff, mostly management, and conduct full scale exercises. Additionally I write medical intelligence and evacuation reports. These are basically “plans” for aid workers, expats. that go to risky places: “Oh, I broke my leg in bumfuck nowhere South Sudan! What now? Is there a hospital? Which one do I go to? Which one has actual doctors? Is there a chance that a medical evacuation plane can reach me?”

Originally I am a critical care paramedic and I am currently studying towards (another) master degree in healthcare management. Before I founded my current company I worked as a consultant for various healthcare related firms, before that as an ambulance service director.

But mass casualty situations always were “my thing” and the multi-stakeholder approach I take during planning talking to basically all roles in a hospital, from the higher ups to the guy in charge of waste disposal, is something I enjoy immensely.

Yeah, absolutely correct. SAB was intentionally unspecific, but is mostly used for Subarachnoidal bleed around here.

A turf that can`t bounce is one that can’t come back. And only one department does not send patients back: The guys and gals with the freezers aka the morgue.

That is actually really close - impressive.

u/usually Lurker explains the rest &the last sentence is meant as a reference to Samuel Shem - House of God. A book I highly recommend and who is seen as the bible of dark humour by many health care professionals.

Yo, 4B has a UI with MRSA now, on top of the massive PE post SAB. We might need to up the Nor and increase the PEEP. But I think it`s time to talk with the NOK about DNR. Will be a turf without bounce back soon.

Apex has not been in development for years sadly - and is no longer available at the playstore, at least for newer versions.

I had to change to another launcher due to it,sadly.

Especially frustrating if you are a healthcare professional. It is astonishing how many people give out bad medical advice here,on Reddit, Facebook,etc. with the notion of “well it worked for me”.

Often it didn’t even work.

I mean, yes, I know, it is a way for people to recover control after they “lost it” to their body. But at least don’t brag about it on the internet and even more don’t start a fight with someone who clearly has more knowledge due to professional training and years of experience.

I’ve seen people fight the world leading specialist team on Reddit before…

Basically an AC with longer lines. Usually used to heat water to radiate in these circumstances.

The same principles can be applied here.

A window unit is technically a heat pump (air to air heat pump). But they are terribly inefficient and ineffective - they often achieve less than 25% of the heating capacity of a proper heating setup. (Cooling is a bit different)

Heatpumps are comparably easy to install if you compare them to regular thermal heating. You won’t need a chimney, no fuel storage or gas pipes. And they are much, much,much easier to maintain - no ash removal, no cleaning of potentially cancerous substances from a burn chamber,etc.

Of course they are still more complicated than a window unit - but that is only slightly so with the benefit of massive gains.

Ever heard of heat pumps?

They don’t. They use hydrogen fuel cells to generate electric power.

In SCUM you definitely have to crap and pee regularly and absolutely can get diarrhoea.

I died more than once from untimely diarrhoea.
