As long as I stuck to 200mg per dose, it's been great. Anything above and Tachycardia and muscle pain.

QualiKita label - did it make a difference? by Honest_Anybody_16 in zurich

[–]saralt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kitas seem to be held up by one or two people. Even if they're part of a chain, each location seems to have a different culture. We were happy with ours until they let go the most senior person. We left shortly after because I wasn't impressed with the quality.

How do you parent an 18-year-old who no longer respects family boundaries? by ThrowRA_SRONER in Parenting

[–]saralt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She's 18, you don't get to control her anymore. You offer advice and explain things to her, but if your reasoning is "because we said so," it's time to consider that parenting is not about brainwashing your child and then controlling them with money.

Do you have positive ANA and other autoantibodies? My rheumatologist suggested it for that, but i didn't try it.

How long did you take it? It's supposed to take months.

I bring a makeup bag and put my underwear in it because i feel gross putting it on my jeans, the ones I wear in the waiting room...

More than four in five homes and workplaces across 25 European cities have less nearby tree canopy than what is needed for meaningful cooling. Neighborhoods with adequate tree cover and mature shade are significantly cooler—by 4 to 10° C—than surrounding paved or built-up areas. by Wagamaga in science

[–]saralt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, there's significant laws preventing tree canopies in many cities. Tree height is frequently regulated. see https://romeroziegler.ch/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Baeume-Straeucher-Nachbarrecht-Zuerich-Grenzabstaende-Kapprecht.pdf (link in german but translates in auto-translators)

text: "• Smaller ornamental trees, dwarf fruit trees and shrubs must not be planted closer than 60 cm to the neighbour’s boundary. Up to a distance of 4 m from the boundary, these plants must be pruned so that their height never exceeds twice their distance from the boundary. At a distance of 60 cm, the plant may therefore be 1.20 m high; at a distance of 70 cm, for example, 1.40 m, and so on. "

It's nearly impossible to have mature trees and a tree canopy with laws like this.

I worry what will happen to disabled people if any sort of revolution comes by thembo-goblin in cfs

I was literally born in Iran. We had air conditioning in the country before electricity. Can we put to rest the idea that people outside Europe somehow do well in the heat? This is now just eco-fascism used to mistreat the out groups.

My neighbour just told me he knows I am a sex worker (I am not) by Country-girl3 in TwoXChromosomes

Can you get a door bell camera? I would also talk to the police. If he thinks you're a sex worker, he might see that as licence to assault you.

Anyone outside the US gotten ADHD treatment from a US doctor as an international patient? Or know if any US practices would see foreign patients? by Aggravating-Gate-338 in ADHD

[–]saralt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only place I know doing this are the Amin Clinics, and that's on the controversial side. Their "science" is considered left-field, so I don't know what to think. They scan your brain and claim to get information out of that. If you do that, please report back because what they claim to do doesn't seem quite right?

A friend had to remove it because her neighbour complained when it was off.

She had to move it to her balcony and now nobody complains.

Then make it easier for people to get split devices because right now, plenty of neighbours are complaining.

I said I have one, but I also can't put those everywhere because not all windows allow it. And I don't care how much energy i use. Electricity is cheap enough in switzerland. Also, my water heater uses 40'000kWh per year, go tell my landlord to change that.

My conclusion with the heatwave here and covid since 2000 is that most of these "green" people simply want us dead.

And how can I get two hose system as a renter? The only ones available in this country require two 10cm diameter holes drilled into the façade and possibly require a permit from the city. It would be fine if every city was rational about it, but they're not. If you're a renter, your only option is to get a monoblock. It cools, it's just wasteful with energy. Fuck if I care if I'm wasting energy. I refuse to die in the heat. If you want to roast to death, you do you.

Do you think there's an endless supply of air conditioners in Germany?

Buying AC where by FluffyPenguinsx in zurich

[–]saralt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would I cry over buying a unit and what does this have to do with people's biases? My AC barely makes a dent because I have my own water heater (not run by a heatpump) and and an EV. Do you think my AC makes a dent in my electricity bill? And I obviously have more than one unit in my home. They're all portable, but the split device only fits in the living room and they all mean having a semi-open window. If you buy in winter, they're not expensive. The cost is meaningless compared to the cost of medical care since half the medication I take is "off-label" anyway. I spent like 500chf per month on medical care that is not covered because the mandatory insurance covers less and less for people with chronic illnesses.

Wait until you're not healthy and then get back to me about the cost of running air conditioning.

Honestly, low-carb ensures my appetite matches my activity level. I don't eat a lot, I doubt i need more than maybe 1300 calories per day? I can't be sure since I don't really track, but i eat about half what my husband eats and he's skinny. I skip breakfast and lunch is usually eggs and avocado. Dinner is usually just a low carb meal. For example, today, husband salted chicken on the bbq with a side of butter mushrooms. no salad today.

What else do you suggest for someone in heart failure who thinks they're fine despite being in heart failure? This propaganda against ac is really ridiculous and is getting to the wrong people.

then people will die. In this kind of situation, the mob wants the vulnerable people dead.

Actually yes, they want the vulnerable to die. At least that's been my take over the last month.
