No idea about that specific illness, but in general: yes it would be covered in the German system.
In general if a doctor decided you need a certain, scientifically and widely accepted treatment for a certain illness to not die or bring you back to health, it will be covered by your insurance. But it will be the cheapest version, so no extras.
And now comes the but: the insurances don’t really like to pay that much over a longer time, so often chronically ill persons have to jump through loops to get the help and financing they need.
For example chronically ill people need to prove via doctors note again and again that, yes, they are indeed still chronically ill and did not get healed by a miracle in the last year. It’s argued that they do this to combat fraud, but honestly, I would much rather pay a bit more in my invoices and know that those who need it are not put under unnecessary stress.
I mean, that is how the libertarians argue since time immemorial, isn’t it? “Cut the welfare state or the EcOnOMy never improves”
Greed was meant not only as greed for money but greed for power in general. Money itself is worthless, only its substitution for power is why it’s important in the first place.
I agree with your comment, but I didn’t talk about economic structures, but rather about how power is distributed in a society. That is closely connected to the economic structure, sure. But for example the Soviet Union was state socialism and started enough wars themselves. Also not because the workers wanted it, but those in power did.
The problem is and always was the power structure and the greed of those at the top of it. It had many different names and forms during history.
Correct, but that shows what an chemical engineering masterpiece photosynthesis is.
It also isn’t just one step, but multiple smaller steps in between, which make it possible to break the C-O bond.
But the difference is, that for photosynthesis, there are other reaction partners that are able to bond to the Carbon and Oxygen atom. For the decomposition, they likely were in a pure CO2 atmosphere, making it hard for the atoms to find better reaction partners than each other.
It was the one good thing the german liberal party FDP was good for, but they aimed to destroy the coalition from the inside (literally! they made plans and discussion meetings when the best time to destroy it would be). And now they are out and we have the SPD and the Greens left. So one party who really has a hard on for surveillance and the other one who is undecided.
Roundabouts would help for sure, but the area sizes of American cities are just much higher as well and therefore the population density is smaller.
It’s crazy to me that you need 45 minutes for a city of that size. In Germany you probably need 20-30 minutes depending on traffic.
You can read about the context of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell on Wikipedia.
Or the article itself also explains why the other commentator wrote that ;)
Correct on the first part, I don’t know if he did it for other companies as well.
Vinegar is perfectly fine for that. With a bigger amount of minerals you just need more vinegar and time.
You are technically right that the water heater softens the water a bit by precipitating the minerals around the heating element and thereby removing them from the water. But that is energy inefficient and expensive, since you normally don’t use a water heater to soften your water but rather to get warm water. So putting another system in front of the heater that softens it first is better than replacing the heat element every so often.
It almost seems like you never heard of Clayton Bigsby?
I’m not saying this news article is true, but this reporting is exactly reporting what you are saying: they found out because all attention is on them.
… Please read my original comment again carefully. I said nowhere that a dictatorship is better at governing. I said that Switzerland is rich because of their companies being capitalistic assholes that would or better ARE right now fucking up the planet and the rest of humanity. You can read on Wikipedia about Nestle, the Nazi gold and tax haven, the Russian influence, etc. That is how Switzerland got really rich, not due to their direct democracy (which I find awesome).
You could argue that there is a small connection between both, since the neutrality of Switzerland was part of why so many companies and banks managed to get big.
You are muddling two different concepts in your Switzerland argument. You are probably referring to the fact, that Switzerland has a direct democracy for certain political decisions in addition to having a parliament. But that is not why it’s a rich country. That’s because of their big companies who are by no means anything else but die hard capitalistic and self serving. You might know some of them for their evil deeds, for example Nestlé.
First: thank you for providing the article!
But that is not what you claimed earlier. Reuters specifically doesn’t claim they are or are not Hezbollah members. Just that they saw videos of hurt people.
Just to make my stand point clear: I don’t mean that this attack mostly attacked civilians, I just don’t think we are at a level of information yet, where the full broadness of the attack is clear. If it really would be 2 innocent on 3000 hits, then yes, that would a “good” number.
You aren’t so far away from the truth!
To make a battery you need to have something that holds negative electrical charge and something with a positive electrical charge and both need to be able to change to a different state when you use it or reverse that change when you charge it.
Lithium is the lightest and smallest metal, meaning for the same size and electrical charge, your battery will weigh less.
Then you just need to find ways to make two kind of lithium compounds which have different electrical charge and can be changed between two states.
And if it doesn’t explode when a child throws their battery powered bear on the ground, that would also be a good characteristic.
