Yup, Europe is pretty heterogeneous

It's not even the insurance part that is a scam, US prices are ridiculous as well.

I broke my arm in a pretty complicated way, so I needed a 3h surgery with a bunch of metal bits now screwed to my bones and iirc they kept me like 4 - 5 days in the hospital. On top of that, a bunch of imaging (MRI, CT, bunch of X-rays).

Due to some miscommunication/arguing between insurances, I got the full bill at first (in the end, regular health insurance paid 100%). So I know this whole thing costs about $10k out of pocket.

You are getting scammed.

This. There is a reason why China has been censoring the internet so much, and why Russia and to a lesser degree Türkiye started doing it as well. And why two of the three most powerful people in the US apart from Trump control like 2/3 of all social media.

First, thanks for actually following up!

About the actual statement:

The U.S. State Department’s Office of the Legal Advisor concluded earlier this year that China’s mass imprisonment and forced labor of ethnic Uighurs in Xinjiang amounts to crimes against humanity—but there was insufficient evidence to prove genocide

I believe that "technically, we cannot prove it's genocide, just crimes against humanity" is still a pretty clear and bold statement.

Huh. Care to link the last one?

Yeah, sure. Just because one team is bad doesn't mean the other is good. There is a lot of poverty, exploitation and general shit happening "there".

I mean, the pilot can literally set the throttle for more speed? Isn't that the whole function of it? "Engine go more/less brrr?"

(I am aware of autothrottle and all that, but iirc pilots still have a lot of leeway regarding economy/speed/...)

Und in vielen Behörden fehlen Mitarbeiter (Stichwort Asylanträge und Visa), was dann noch teurer wird, weil die Opfer davon häufig den Staat verklagen müssen.

Ich meine, das ist Klöckner. Auf einer "hat politischen Anstand"-Liste gehört die irgendwo zwischen Schröder und Guttenberg.

I have a Trust GXT 590, nothing special, but works well enough for about everything with about everything. It can do both Bluetooth, USB-Dongle and USB cable (iirc)

People remember Chelsea Manning not for exposing war crimes, but for the crime of being trans. Checks out.

My first magnetic loop for 2m :)

Really simple construction: bent ca. 2mm brass pipe soldered directly to the outside of an SMA plug, inside of the plug soldered to the red wire as "input coil". Tunable by squeezing the ends more or less close together.

SWR of <1.2 at resonance, not bad. Impedance is at roughly 44+j2 Ohm, also not bad for totally eyeballing it without any prior calculations.

I can reach the nearest 2m relais just fine at 2W, although to be fair I can do the same with a short whip antenna. More testing to follow. Holy shit, this actually works!

It will widen your horizon, they said. And here I was, foolishly thinking I could get away with half-assing statistics during my degree.

Turns out the status quo of Linux memory management somehow works pretty damn okay, nobody seems to really know why, and nobody cares.
