Netherlands here, I call, have an appointment the same or next day, insurance covers all costs.

If they proscribe meds, I pay a part up until a maximum of 385 euros per year (called “own risk”) , anything above that is covered as well.

I’m also covered for physiotherapy (18 sessions without “own risk”), psychological therapy, dentistry and a variety of alternative medicine!

I pay a pretty hefty premium, like 170 euros a month, but that’s because I have the lowest “own risk” and I blow through that in the first month or 3 with my rickety ass body 😂

Definitely beats footing the bill completely, I’ve seen what dentistry costs 😱

Yep! My first bruises from a police baton stayed with me for almost 2 months (they got me in the ribs) but I showed them off with pride! The comradery at protests is amazing, and the contacts you make are for a lifetime!

Upvote: the things I want others to read.

Downvote: the things I’d rather see buried.

I fucking hated crocs when they came out.

And then I went on a canoe vacation in Sweden and now I swear by them 😂

Brand clothing plastered with logos of the brand.

I immediately know you’re vacuous and live your life for the image you have for others instead of focusing on yourself.

Since it’s from modern “Hebrew” it doesn’t really matter how you spell it since Hebrew is an abjat script

That’s the idea of slang

I’m Dutch, but often speak English as I’m fluent in it, so it sometimes mixes. Other words I often use are

• some German, Spanish and French phrases (secondary languages),
• various toasts, like lechajim, skål, depending on the people I’m with,
• some Arabic like shukran, habibi,
• Surinamese slang (kaolo is a fun one)

Zen, a heavily modified firefox. A different design paradigm than every other browser, which I personally like. Easy hot keys, runs on any OS, lots of customizability.

Needless to say I’m a big fan!

Thanks! I took a look at the studie and it’s “citations” and “cited by” articles. Sounds promising! I’ve got dementia / AD in the family, pretty sure I’m next in line in about 50 years. I’ve never heard about the topic but it seems pretty rigorously researched!

I climb, but not very often. Time to get the running shoes out and start getting some regular exercise in again.

Weight lifting can get stolen for all I care, I hate it 😂 But we have a forest exactly 3 minutes walk away, so time to get out in nature again!

Got any sources to read up on BDNF and working out? I just checked some stuff online but it’s mostly either ai-slop articles or science papers about the protein itself 😅
