Not to presume someone’s gender, but that’s a she. She’s a hard worker. So you know, boy honey bees don’t even collect pollen or nectar. They also don’t protect the bee hive or care for the young. Boy bees are the meaning of lazy. Most hives will only have a few percent of boys in summer, but when it gets cold they get booted from the hive and die and they don’t make any more boys until next spring.

For me things were not in meters or feet but hours driven. From my home town the nearest stoplight was 1.5 hours away by car. This is also the closest chain restaurant (like McDonald’s or simular). We had a school bus, but other than that no public transit. The next town over (15 minutes) has a supermarket.

Wait… I totally thought this was fake. Is this fake?

Pumpkin spice banana sounds good actually.

There is a lot of good books (or audio books) I could suggest. This has been also a interest in mine. The reasons are different and also the same. Many of the top comments touch on some of the points.

Save yourself and never talk to Germans about these folding measuring sticks VS the auto-rollup kind. If you make this mistake, just ask them why they are called “inch sticks” in German and not “CM sticks”.

Any thoughts on TLDR (Youtube channel)?

Clock I did not read clock the first two times.

It’s a bit of a preference thing. I like most of my fruit, papaya included, so ripe as possible. Like some people would say it’s not good anymore. Ideally also picked ripe from tree/bush. Others like it crunchy, even peaches or nectarines. Yuck.

But when a papaya is green and hard, it is great to shred and make into an Asian style salad. So it depends on you and what you want to do with it.

So the question is back to you OP, when is a papaya ready to eat?

Ha.

wouldn’t it be funny if I sold doors, door-to-door.

Oh this dude is definitely gay.

Hey, yeah I assumed. Just looking for a chuckle.

What did you do OP… Just tell your SO that your best friend installed tinder on your phone as a joke…

I have often wondered about the private insurance (not that I can afford it). I’ve only been on AOK I can only assume that the care is much much better with private insurance?

I assume that you are german? I have experienced similar here with dermatologists but for allergies. I went to 4 different allergists over a 8 month period to simply get tested to be able to get an epipen which could potentially save my life. This in the US took one next day visit with a doctor. Later (in the US) I saw specialists that put a lot of research into my allergies and time and attention into it. I got nothing here in Germany.

As mentioned before, despite this, I would rather support the german system though. It has its problems like everywhere, but it is at least available to everyone at more affordable prices.

Sorry about your ear problems. That sounds bad and a terrible thing to live with.

The US heathcare systems have many problems as you pointed out. I also am well aware of them as I lived there for 30 years both with and without insurance. The only thing that I can give is my lived experience in both systems. The problems that you pointed out among many others exist in most health care systems globally. Despite and including these problems in my experience the US still gives better care. That may be hard to hear (no pun intended) but the grass is not always greener.

Now don’t get me wrong. I prefer the system here in Germany but not because it’s better, but because it is available to everyone. People here don’t go bankrupt with medical debt like in the US.

True - but this is also true everywhere I have been too.

It’s far from only in the US. In my experience, hospitals in Germany are far worse in this regard. It depends greatly on who is getting paid how much for what. The US is far better for this, but unfortunately it is not affordable for most.

Dear Germans, When someone had a grandfather who was Turkish that doesn’t make their german born descendants Turkish… They are german.

Dear brits, The Indian guy who’s grand parents were born in Britain… he’s not “the Indian guy”, he’s brittish.

Dear French, French is not a skin color. It’s a nationality. A black guy can be French too.

Immigrant descendents in Europe.

The thing about people’s roots is it’s complicated, messy, and not only an American problem. More compassion and understanding goes a long ways.
