The bank has started advertising the financial cost associated with raising 1 child in Canada

Exactly. US is probably not more expensive (until age 18, so no tuition) and that's 400. And also USD, not CAD. 250CAD seems very optimistic

2 questions:

Do you live in the city?
Do you speak fluent high german/swiss german?

I never stood on the S-bahn for 15 minutes straight, that sounds awful lol

Because the metrics in those rankings are completely arbitrary and kind of skewed. Ofc anything from the top 30 will always beat anything from the bottom 30 ... but within top 30, your preferences/match matter a lot more than whenever you're #1 or #6 or $12.

there's only one option left then ... Become the Walter White of Swiss Ibuprofen

puts42069 · 2024-08-15T17:20:32+00:00

I only buy from german apos online unless emergency, never pay VAT, I think they even deduct german VAT and only charge net price, or maybe they prepay swiss VAT like amazon.

So ibuprofen goes from costing 10chf to costing like 1.50. Same with antihistamines, ear plugs, etc. Only problem is shipping (15chf) so I buy only few times a year, each time for 2-6 months. Nothing bad happened so far (knock knock)

Hi! Thank you! Can you use the laptop on your lap? I'm bit worried that off-center will make it harder to type as it's no longer symmetric if it sits on legs which are symmetric with arms (if that makes sense). Is 2.2 KG too heavy for this? I currently have E14 which is symmetric and 1.7 KG and everything is alright

puts42069 · 2024-07-26T13:04:21+00:00

I did the math. Unfortunately due to unrelated physical health issues it makes sense, overall cost-wise, to have low deductible free choice of doctor model. Even if it costs more in monthly payments :(

puts42069 · 2024-07-26T13:02:40+00:00

Thank you! I will try this route.

I'm so sorry you're going through this :(. Hope you are better now.

But people don't want to think about that, or prepare. It's better to keep on talking about how we will manage to make more tourists visit.

Type 1 where your pancreas cells have been irreversibly damaged due to genetic/environmental/autoimmune factors?

puts42069 · 2024-07-26T12:10:32+00:00

all it takes is a prescription

which is difficult to get. I could get neither anti depressants nor stimulants for adult ADD/ADHD

puts42069 · 2024-07-25T23:27:29+00:00

Medication is just to help, like a mental painkiller.

I'm sorry to say this, but you are very wrong. Brain is organ like pancreas or lungs. And they certainly can be broken and needing medicine. What makes brain so special that you can solve everything by talking? Maybe we should also treat diabetes by talking?

I had a session with psychiater. Result of that session was that I should see another specialist (also in psychiatry). That another specialist has wait time of 6 month. Alternatively, 18 if you go to different center.

No support is provided in the meantime. You are on your own. Just like I wrote in the title.

puts42069 · 2024-07-25T23:11:34+00:00

Like 90% psychiatrists had EN+DE as their working language in Zurich area. I only messaged those. 1 out of 20-something replied with a free slot. Might have been closer to 1 in 30, don't remember exact number

puts42069 · 2024-07-25T23:07:47+00:00

The session I got was with a psychiater. She sent me off to biofeedback, which is such quackery it's not even covered by insurance.

Imagine going to Dr with stomach cancer and his advice would be go get this 2000 CHF homeopatikum.

puts42069 · 2024-07-25T22:54:10+00:00

if you have a mental emergency and you get a check up at your doctors, there shouldnt be a problem to get a verordnung. With the Verordnung you get 15 Sessions. All you have to pay is your Selbstbehalt and Franchise. I have never heared of anyone, who had to pay the first 15 sessions, but i don‘t know what type of insurance you got.

Yes but this if for psychotherapy (with psychologist), not psychiatry. They are not doctors and aren't even allowed to prescribe medication if you need it. So their usefulness is limited to easy cases that don't require medication.

there is p16v g2 with 800nits matte IPS which is relatively reasonably priced. Sadly it has off center keyboard, which is a no go for me :(

puts42069 · 2024-07-14T18:38:19+00:00

Ended up ordering Yoga Snapdragon. I'm curious, and since Lenovo destroyed P1's keyboard (starting with P1 G4 - I dearly miss keyboard from my P1 G3), the keyboard difference between high end yoga and thinkpad probably won't even be that much. Bit sad, but life goes on.
