we do pay a Medicare levy in our taxes but it’s nothing like USA costs
I was thinking about this too - the American monthly health insurance cost is significantly more than my entire monthly tax contribution, including the public healthcare contributions - and I’m not even “low income” by any definition.
Wait American health insurance costs THAT MUCH? And then you have to pay MORE to use it? I’d been imagining a few hundred dollars p.m. and still thinking “that’s too much”. How is there anyone in your country who believes that public health could cost more than that?
You guys need serious help, I’m so sorry.
I have a medical treatment coming up that I’d thought was rather expensive, but after learning that it costs the same as 2 months of terrible medical cover in the USA I feel a bit better about it…

Looking through that table, it’s kind of crazy how close many of those are to modern English words
The boomerangs subtly implying the real truth of the matter - that the Australians were behind it all along! No wonder “the Bush” was involved!
The only valid reason to say “those union clowns” I suppose
It takes me 10 minutes to do anything when I first wake up in the morning, coffee or no, to be fair. I’m not a morning person. I also manually grind my beans (using one of those older hopper-and-box grinders), and do a V60 pourover with water slightly cooler than boiling (somewhere between 80-90°C, based off vibes I don’t have a temperature controlled kettle).
Or at least, I did, before I switched to a machine. Still do the V60 later in the day, tho, it’s a nice little ritual.
Yeah, that’s absolutely fair enough to be honest. I’m the kind of guy that likes to sleep in as much as possible and take my mornings real slow, so cutting off the extra 10 minutes that it used to take me to make coffee… sweet. My partners’ family’s fridge has a clock in it though, and I’ll never understand that. I think coffee machine is where I draw the line.
The stove I don’t get, but the coffee machine needs it so that you can set it to run 5 minutes before your alarm goes off in the morning. Getting a coffee machine with a timer recently has revolutionized my morning TBH.
And even then with nixos-rebuild switch you won’t really notice that you’re “rebuilding” anything

I hate to say it, but ð is likely the wrong character for that sound, you’d be better with þ. Ð is never used at the start of a word, and þ has a long history in English as being used in abbrieviations for words like “the” and “that” (see “uses” in this article https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thorn_(letter)). Your use of ð is correct for the Icelandic use of the sound, though, so I absolutely see where you’re coming from.
Unless you’re using the IPA ð, in which case ignore me.
(sorry for the rant, I used to be very passionate about returning þ to common use in English)
I don’t see any racist comments at all… A bit confused tbh, there’s just you and the other person explaining that LibreSSL seems abandoned.
Edit: The comments on Phoronix, now I get it

I’ve always thought this too. I understand clockwise/anticlockwise and the direction being defined from the top - but it’s a circle - no matter which way you turn, it spends 50% of the time going either direction. The phrase works with screwdrivers (especially ratcheting ones), but not so much spanners or Hex Keys IMO.
This is equal parts so silly and so possible that I have no idea if this comment is a joke (I’ve never been to a circus)
This may be an unpopular opinion, but NixOS. It has package up-to-dateness comparable to (and sometimes better than) Arch, but between being declarative (and reproducible) and allowing rollbacks, it’s much harder to break. The cost is, of course, having to learn how to use NixOS, as it’s a fair bit different to using a “normal” Linux distro.
TIL the French are paying a lot more tax than me(no it’s about the same just distributed differently) - but also their health system is Definitely better than my country, so that tracks. That said, your income there is a little bit higher the average French income is only about 43,000€. Pressing the “median wage” button on that link you provided rounds out to only 280€ per month that go to public health care. What I’ve really learnt from this is that I want to move to France now… If only I could get over having to speak French.
