  • Kind of. I am a CEO (that’s the easy part) of a small consulting company in healthcare.

    The hard part is to explain what we actually do: We do consult organisations about (healthcare related) disaster preparedness/risk management and contingency planning. So you call us if you want to have proper plans in case your hospital catches fire, COVID and monkey pox have baby or if you are a city and need to know how to plan for “the day X”. But as we work mainly on a systemic level you can also call us if you need a more intelligence focused plan e.g. “I am going to South Sudan, what do I do if I have an accident?”.

    Additionally we also consult for ambulance services, e.g. how to plan vehicle allocation, etc.


  • Stay away from the combo units. They are shit. And the reduced throughput is a major issue.

    A tower design has to have the washer below the dryer, as the washer is creating more vibrations and simply weighs more.

    Not all manufacturers allow a dryer to be placed upon their washers and not all washers have a big enough top.

    Some (Bosch-Siemens-Appliances does i.e.) do offer specialised “tops” that you can use and that are working quite well. (Example

    Personally I would put another lashing strap around the combination, though,just to be extra safe, especially if you have children or pets.

    Other than that the combination works without a problem,we have been using that for around 15 years by now, only interrupted by our experiments with combo machines.






  • And this ladies and gentlemen is what is wrong with Linux and its communities.

    Technological gatekeeping is THE major problem in the Linux world. You use Linux to use Linux. You intentionally do not want people that you consider “below” you to use Linux or even be present in your communities.

    Most people use computers to get something done. Be it development, gaming, consuming multimedia, or just “web browsing” (which you intentionally use to degrade people “just” doing that). They do not use computers to use computers. They don’t need to and should need to. If you want to do this, good for you.

    But stop trying to gatekeep people out of it. That’s just an a****** behaviour.






  • You know when a scientist/expert warns people about a disaster and they don’t believe him and a short time later they actually suffer from that disaster?

    Well. I was that expert. I do disaster response planning for a living.Told a large public company that they are at risk of a certain scenario. They told me that they don’t believe it would apply to them and basically kicked me out.

    Two weeks later they were on national news for it.

    Not that it would have changed a thing - projects we do take months and do not prevent a disaster, just deal with the risk much better.

    But still. Felt surreal.


  • Learn ondsel (which is basically a freecad fork) first and then transfer to FreeCAD later. It’s easier to learn at first but for true woodworking FreeCAD is better - but only after you know the basics.

    Sadly neither of them is remotely efficient at all when it comes to woodworking. But if you don’t care for the time it takes too much it is something to work with.


  • As someone doing systemic healthcare management for a living (and for research purposes) I might be a bit biased, but basically there is no other way than socialized healthcare. Healthcare is not a market that is open - a patient that needs healthcare is in almost all cases not able to shop freely - unlike a regular economic market you are unable to hold back your healthcare needs (normally).

    Additionally society pays massively when healthcare needs are not met - crime goes up, long term healthcare costs rise, the pressure on emergency services increases.







  • Not even 48h ago. Well in the end I involuntarily admitted the offender to hospital.

    Worked on the ambulance. Basically got stopped by a member of the public and informed a guy acting strange in front of a shop. Had a look, got called a few very nasty slurs, called for police backup. Clearly the patient was of unsound mind, not orientated, etc. After some more talking the cops restrained him upon my advice and he got admitted to a somatic(normal) hospital. Whole trip was full of slurs towards everyone, even random passerbys.

    Somatic hospital checked him throughly and then transferred him to a psychiatric hospital.
