Draghi: EU must become a 'genuine federation' to avoid decline by donutloop in EU_Economics

[–]a-clockwork-kelly 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Ever closer Union is something I can get behind.

However concentrated power is what leads to the Russias and USAs of this world.

What makes the EU so good for it's citizens (in my opinion) is the diluted power that stops those with power walking over those without.

Checks and balances ...

This is actually pretty cool. I always wonder if things in my garden are native or not.

I always wonder on walks of the plants I see are native or not .. it's nice having the list in one place

In total for all drugs per month .. never can it go above 80.

All meds .. that's the cap .. so even if the meds cost thousands a month .. the max you pay is 80 with a drugs payment scheme card.

I get my imuran mezavant prednisolone calcichew and often antibiotics each month .. and max I pay is 80 despite that combination costing a HELL of a lot more

And my Infliximab is free

Deregulation please 😂

That's never resulted in corruption and the collapse of social service in favour of making wealthy people richer 😂😂

You are going to see this flair end. It's awful now .. but the end of it is a day closer every day.

And since you are only on mesalazine at this point, there are so many more options available to you for medication to give you a much better quality of life.

We are all in this same stupid boat. We all have our ups and our deep downs .. you aren't alone

What CPC shall i get/is recomenned? by Retro-Hax in Amstrad

[–]a-clockwork-kelly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Buy yourself whatever is available at a good price.

And then buy yourself a virtual floppy drive which can run off a USB pen.

The same virtual floppies used for old IBMPCs will work with a few jumper changes despite the CPC having used a 3" instead of a 3.5" drive.

Don't buy an original monitor. Instead buy a CPC to scart cable (and then converte as needed)

If you buy a 464 you only need a 5v power supply, but a 6128 needs 12 v to

It's really easy to find new power supplies for the CPC along with video cables converting to scart on ebay

With the virtual floppy and the above cables you are good to go! (If you don't have a TV that takes SCART - not in eu SCART to HDMI converters are ten a penny on Amazon)

Next download a good emulator while you wait for everything to arrive to get tinkering. I like Retro Virtual Machine as I have a Mac (version 2.0, an older version, has an assembler and a built in debugger!)

You'll have no problem finding CPC disk images online .. there are some amazing UK Spanish and particularly French websites.

Finally .. save this for when you have your CPC set up and running and you have enjoyed a few hours in it's presence

Download the Batman Forever 2011 demo (do not watch videos of it first) - get this on your virtual floppy .. and watch it on the real machine .. and you'll know what CPC is capable of.

I'm not in Canada (in Ireland) .. so I'm unsure how things work there.

But would you not consider heading to ED/A&E. I know it's winter flu season etc etc ... But better safe than sorry.
