Without seeing your choice I was oscillating between blue and green but settled on green.

I’ve done both. The beans add that extra texture goodness.

Just three for me. I don’t fancy that comedown.

Welcome to Lemmy!

You’ll get past the hurdles pretty quickly. It’s a little confusing at first.

Thanks. Testing…

There is actually a stunt person who posts on here. I’ll see if I can dig out their username and tag them…

Yep …

/u/MartianRecon@lemmus.org

Edit: oh he hasn’t posted anything in 11 days unfortunately but hopefully he sees the tag.

Cheers.

The context of Hegseth’s remark and the reactions of his co-hosts indicate he was joking.

Important context in there.

I only recently discovered the power of the thumbs down in the car. It is magical.

Your ma wears high heels with tracksuit bottoms.

Is this OC because bra-fucking-vo if so. Great pic regardless.

That’s cool!

blood works are €80 on the GP, but specialist might require specific tests that GP doesn’t offer, I have paid around €600 for some blood exams

Sorry to tell you but you were being robbed blind.

Bloods are free at my GP. If I’m going private (after the initial consult which I did forget to mention), once I’ve been referred it’s all been covered. Public it’s all free of course.

That’s fucking wild shit. Honestly never heard of it. Not doubting you for a second. I’ve just never come across it.

Edit: I wonder did your employer just pay for an absolutely shit private cover?

OK that sounds ass loads better then the internet had me believe.

I’ve a few questions if you don’t mind and some observations…

The minimum level of coverage here for health insurance is pretty high given the alternative of free public care but they do have quite a few perks including money back for GP visits and “swift care” centres dotted around. We had to bring my young lad to one after he busted his lip badly and needed a stitch. We were in and out in under thirty minutes for 50 euro.

That’s really the edge case if where health insurance for kids is used. It’s very cheap.

Generally medication maxes out at $50-75 per covered medication, but getting actually getting something covered is a bitch, and is usually like 10-25 bucks for regular medication, and you can save more by buying 3-6 month supplies.

One of the things I love about the US is the bulk buying. Last time I was there I bought 500 Ibuprofen for pennies. You can’t do that here. 48 is the max without a prescription and even generic are comparatively expensive.

I did forget to mention that all prescribed meds are free for low income.

If you are low income AND in a state with expanded medicaid subsidies, IF those subsidies keep getting expanded, you get access to medicaid

Is that access free?

Ireland. Public health is high quality but it can be slow to get into the system. If you want high quality and fast you pay for insurance which is about 2K per year, depending on age and cover.

All prescribed medicine maxes out at 80 euro / about 95 USD a month for our entire family. Government covers the rest.

You pay for trips to the GP (local doctor) which are about 60 euro / 75 USD unless you’re low income in which case they’re free. They will refer you to the hospital if necessary and that is free.

At that point if you’re not private things can get slow but my most recent example was fast. Daughter had ongoing headaches for a while. Third trip to the GP she wrote the referral letter and we went to the emergency room. She got seen quickly and they set up an MRI for the following week. After that we had two follow ups with a consultant (high level specialist doctor). All free.

There is huge room for improvement but I honestly couldn’t imagine living in a place that will let you die if you don’t have enough money. I honestly find that notion both crazy and disgusting.

Edit: I forgot to add, if you just show up to accident and emergency without a referral it’s 100 euro / 120 USD. Regardless of treatment that’s the full cost. Triage can mean that if you don’t actually have an emergency you’ll be waiting hours. If you show up with life threatening symptoms you’ll be seen very quickly though.

Ambulance is always free.

There are other supports for folks who need regular trips to the hospital but can’t drive (e.g. regular chemo). There’s a community car here in my town for example (10k people) with volunteers but I think they cover taxis in many cases.

Last edit: you can claim any medical expenses for the year off your tax bill

People did that? Yuck :(

How was the switching process?

I’ve a family account that’s fully utilised so if I move I have to drag everyone with me.

Spot on. Thanks for the insight.

If you are on early, you get to spend the time to invest in engineering things right to save you all time throughout the show. As you near delivery, you’re doing the sketchy fixes that are just enough to get you over the line.

This sounds a lot like software projects. I’m sure it applies to a lot of areas.

Fascinating. Thank you. I have no doubt about the editing alright.

That sounds pretty cool. How was it?

I suppose I have this romanticised idea of it. I love watching movies, like it’s my go to wind down so it was more of a general question.

VFX sounds cool. Do you enjoy it?
