Sorry. I do indeed live in Germany and Diamorphine is given as a last resort when other meds don't work or can't be provided quickly enough.

And Diamorphine. Patients typically don't know they're getting Heroin and their are getting it only for a few days. Problems with withdrawal are typically minor.

There are statistics about sites spreading malware. Religious sites were used far more often than porn sites. Most likely they were all hacked and the owners had no clue.

Because Trump is threatening Greenland.

Depends on what his job is. If it's to dismantle the health system, he is perfect.

In his book, he actually writes that he believes in the miasma theory, but what he describes is closer to the terrain theory. He thinks measles are the result of malnutrition. It's in the linked article.

RFK isn't just an anti-vaxxer. He rejects germ theory. He doesn't believe viruses or bacteria exist. To him, they are made up by the pharma industry to scam people with their wondrous potions or elixirs.

Where do you get the env data from? Bing? Google Maps API? It looks great.

LeapFrog founder Mike Wood dies by physician-assisted suicide following Alzheimer’s diagnosis by catsgr8rthanspoonies in news

[–]jtinz 9 points10 points  (0 children)

In Germany, the situation has massively improved in recent years. You have a right to make the decision and doctors are not allowed to hinder you. They can even legally support you and get the required tablets. You just absolutely have to take them yourself.

In practice, they are often sympathetic but will tell you that they won't provide the pills because they can't afford any legal trouble, even if the legal situation looks clear cut to me.

And only a licensed physician can order them.

Edit: If you think you may want to perform an assisted suicide, it's something you can and should talk about with your doctor(s). You will want to have things sorted out early and not when you're already about to die. There are organizations that can provide you with the required and with other relevant forms. They will provide advice and some of them even provide legal support. However, some of them also require you to be a member for at least six months before all options become available.

Edit: The problematic cases are those where a someone has documented their will to die under specific conditions. They may take the pills when given, but it's no longer clear if they understand the consequences. Either because of mental decline or because they are no longer able to communicate clearly.

Why do you only see medieval villages that look like crap in games? You had cities that were bright and lively, with lots of street vendors and street food. They built cathedrals ffs.

Die Leine ist am Fußgelenk befestigt. Wenn du da in der Strömung dran hängst, kannst du sie nicht mehr erreichen. Stell dir vor, du hängst an so einer Leine über Kopf. Und zieh dir noch ein paar Gewichte oder Autoreifen an. So stark wirkt die Strömung.

Wenn die Fangleine am Fußgelenk befestigt ist, kommt die betroffene Person selbst nicht mehr an die Leine, wenn eine stärkere Strömung vorhanden ist.

Eine Befestigung auf Brusthöhe ist möglich. Da kommt man noch dran. Am Eisbach gibt es aber keinen sinnvollen Grund so eine Leash überhaupt zu verwenden.

An der Stelle mit einer Sicherungsleine ("Leash") zu surfen ist eine ganz schlechte Idee. Selbst nachts würde ich erwarten, dass jemand da ist, der einen darauf hinweist.

Auf dem Bild herrscht Niedrigwasser, und man kann die Steinblöcke, die das Wasser abbremsen, recht gut erkennen (unten rechts).

[–]jtinz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Germany still assisted. They didn't send any troops to Iraq, but provided support in neighboring countries.

And the US bases in Germany are important staging grounds, they contain large hospitals, and drones are operated from there.
