Did you run a script over the list of countries to find if other pairs can be used as A, B, C?

Padded to protect the TV (not padding the TV to maintain ventilation of the projector and keep warranty)

At least you have an undeniable excuse why you can't take calls and take 15-30 minutes to respond to texts.

Don't give him what he says his life goal is (die on Mars). It would be way more terrific if he died in a supercar crash (like the one he had in 2000 with Peter Thiel as passenger in a $1M McLaren F1, the fastest production car back then).

I'm surprised they didn't go online-only. Scholars of Economics also tend to have internet connection.

There are no Teams servers on Mars and the client will time out before radio signals can reach Earth. So any copies of Microsoft Teams on Mars are just a waste of storage space, and not very terrifying compared to "actual" malware that could be in the same storage space.

What does a credit card have to do with healthcare priority?

The screenshot is from Slovakia and my country is culturally closest to it, about as close as the average pair of neighboring US states. Like most Czechs, I know a few Slovaks and can understand 99.9% of Slovak without tools, so I looked up what My Doctor is using primary sources. (Yes, the two languages are so close there were serious efforts around 1920 to classify Slovak as a Czech dialect)

Friendly criticism: I do appreciate your activity all over Lemmy but since you're effectively just agreeing with what I said, I suggest you simply upvote and move on. That's why upvotes were invented: to stop comments akin to "+1", "I think the same" or "agree", which clog up threads.

I bought a used PS2 portable, what games do you recommend I play?
I have the same game, with this background, branded "𝒾𝓅𝒽ℴ𝓃ℯ 𝟴" but also PSP-shaped. Predates the iPhone 6, actually.

This is a bank's loyalty program for private preventive care. Public coverage works all over the EU but yes, you do need to present the insurance card so they know how to bill you for any procedure.

MyDoctor is a private provider. People who need MRI are sufficiently taken care of by the public system. This is preventive care, like insurance companies offering discounts on health-promoting services like dental hygiene, diet consultation, fitness programs etc. Slovaks have worse things to worry about under Fico.

We Czechs say "The jug gets used to bring water over and over till the handle falls off." More obvious.

AI vector redrawing of a graphic in the cited paper. One paper is from 1889, predating this graphic style by about a century.

One cited paper is from 1889, predating this whole graphics style by about a century. The graphics are probably what an AI made as a response to "illustrate this text passage" or "redraw this figure as vectors". (Yes, this one probably generates vectors, otherwise the font families would be inconsistent within images, not just between them)

What person would label a human as "1.75 m"? We know what a "human for scale" is. Also, every single graphic, despite credited to the same author, uses a different scale marking: zebra, bar, tick, snaking (and then ignores it). The fonts differ too (look at every capital R) but oddly not within drawings, it seems to be an AI optimized for vector output.
