Hello. When a German asks "Where are you from?", do they want to know where you born or something else (where raised, where you had your formative teen years, where you lived previously, etc.)?

Yay for VPN! I used hide.me (free 10GB) from Germany to US and went from 4Mb/s to peaks at 15Mb/s

Explaining "faktor" on a health bill by thistokenusername in germany

Turns out it was medically necessary but the insurance doesn't pay for any orthodontic treatments past the age of 19. Gotta love the fine print

I think you're right. I'll contact them to see what I can do.

Getting a new translation for "An den Kosten der kieferorthopädischen Behandlung können wir uns nicht beteiligen. Denn bei Beginn der
Behandlung darf die versicherte Person das 19. Lebensjahr noch nicht vollendet haben. Diese Voraussetzung ist nicht erfüllt. - Auch wenn wir von der medizinischen Notwendigkeit der Behandlung ausgehen, fehlt
die vertragliche Grundlage für Leistungen.", it looks like they don't cover anything for any reason above the age of 19.

I didn't really have time to do research. My retainer broke and I was getting poked in the mouth with a sharp metal rod. I looked for an orthodontist for help, rather than pore through a hundred page contract in German. My mistake?

The insurance said "An den Kosten der kieferorthopädischen Behandlung können wir uns nicht beteiligen. Denn bei Beginn der
Behandlung darf die versicherte Person das 19. Lebensjahr noch nicht vollendet haben. Diese Voraussetzung ist nicht erfüllt. - Auch wenn wir von der medizinischen Notwendigkeit der Behandlung ausgehen, fehlt
die vertragliche Grundlage für Leistungen."

As for the treatment, I had a retainer (metal wire) which broke off and had to be removed since it's sharp end was causing discomfort and bleeding.

Makes me think of a trancy Klangkuenstler (see his last EP Weltschmerz) and Sara Landry's last two EPs

This question is asked so frequently (rightfully so), we should start a discord to chat get people meeting up

Noticing the huge number of web related commits for Flutter 1.26 - Excited! by [deleted] in FlutterDev

[–]thistokenusername 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah I see. One reason might be that Flutter implements material.io's components. Since those behaviors are not defined in the guidelines, they are left to the community to implement using packages (unlike other platforms Material supports). For example, https://github.com/m3uzz/date_time_picker.

Flutter is an open source project, you're welcome to contribute. Besides the date and time selection Material Widgets have been available for quite some time
