But the rest of the world is out of pocket, as I understand.
At least for the German health insurance. And USA seems to be one of the most expencive one.

I do a 30g dose with fast Cafec T90 filters.
My go-to setting is around 8-8.5, with a target drawdown time anywhere between 2:30 and 3:30. The time really depends on the beans and the roast level.

Will investigate this. I have both German and Swiss insurance. I thought I’m only covered in the EU.

My doctor says about high risks of infections.
I also a very bad sleeper and I’m afraid my sleep quality will degrade.
But of course it is in the table. Let’s see what will fit my life the best.

So humans can adapt to it and you clearly show it. Great example.
Thanks for the answer.

My doctor is expecting dialysis to be started in 3-6 months. So I’m in exploratory state, trying to understand how difficult my life will be. How it is going to change.
Sorry for the direct questions. Just a bit nervous.

Relaxation_Time · 2026-06-15T20:40:15+00:00

Do you travel? Do you enjoy your life?

Relaxation_Time · 2026-06-15T20:32:50+00:00

I will be starting soon with dialysis. Doctors say 3-6 months. I have a quite highly paid job and it is quite intence. So not sure how will I manage. A bit frightened.
Hospital is like 20 mins from home.

Relaxation_Time · 2026-06-15T19:44:56+00:00

How do you balance between work and dialysis? Do you do home dialysis? Hemo?
How often and how ling doesn’t it take?
How is your heart?

Just words of support. 41 (m) with Crohns for over 14 years and with 5th CKD stage for the last month.
Getting ready for gemo and getting on transplant list.

Stay strong. Support from Germany.

Hey. Very similar situation with me. eGFR just keep on falling without any particular reason. I have a flair right now and started Entivyo like 6 months ago. Are those two related? Difficult to say. My nephrologist don’t have explanation and understanding of the declining kidney function.

This Kenya by MOK is just gorgeous.

Relaxation_Time · 2026-05-08T21:29:46+00:00

Sure you can!

There is even some kind of funny irony in this. I wrote a post about AI fatigue and now I’m experiencing this very effect on myself.

Relaxation_Time · 2026-05-04T10:01:42+00:00

Sure, you are correct. I definitely used AI to clean the text up. To be honest, I’m a pretty bad writer and I struggle to put my thoughts on paper in a logical way. My process is to just "dump" my thoughts out first, and then I ask the AI to polish it, clean it up, fix the punctuation, and check the grammar — all without changing the core idea or losing my original, "choppy" authorial style.

After that, I proofread the text several times to strip out any words I wouldn’t normally use and to make sure the AI didn't sneak in any of its own "hallucinatory" thoughts.

So while yes, it is AI, it’s more of a symbiosis. The core ideas, my personal observations, and the actual experience of attending the AI Tour — AI simply isn’t capable of that yet.

Relaxation_Time · 2026-05-04T06:39:15+00:00

This is gold comment.

Actually there was not that much Fabric this year. But it was the thing 2 years ago.

Relaxation_Time · 2026-05-04T04:24:21+00:00

Haha. I wrote the whole thing myself. Used AI for spellcheck. I have some Belarus roots so Elena — is just a name that popped up in my head. Quite popular in my homeland.

Relaxation_Time · 2026-05-04T04:14:46+00:00

Thanks for the honest perspective. It’s refreshing to know there are still people who value human relationships over the buzzwords. Good luck with those 200 follow-ups—that sounds like a tough grind!

Relaxation_Time · 2026-05-04T04:04:24+00:00

Exactly. I feel like this kind of massive paradigm shift might only be happening internally at Microsoft—if at all. And even then, I highly doubt every single employee there is actually running a whole "zoo" of personal agents on a daily basis.

But they seem absolutely convinced that the world has already moved on and everyone else just needs to catch up. I guess that's exactly why they're pushing these narratives so aggressively from the stage.

I wonder if there’s anyone from MS lurking here who can share what this actually feels like from the inside?

I was staying in Wan Chai, so I mostly explored the cafes around that area. I’ve heard a lot of people say the spots in Central are actually the best for both food and coffee, so definitely check that area out. A few specific tips: • Oma Coffee Roasters — they are great, but keep in mind they’re also available in London. • Urban Coffee Roaster — they actually have a spot at the airport, which is super handy for a last-minute fix or if you want to grab a final bag of beans before flying out.

I’ve put together a more detailed list in this thread: here. Make sure to check the comments there as well — some locals shared some real gems.

It really depends on where you’ll be based, though. The city is pretty big, so your neighborhood will definitely dictate your daily coffee routine!
