He got a transplant after 100 days, according to the article. This was just to keep him alive until he was able to receive it. https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2025/mar/12/australian-man-survives-100-days-with-artificial-heart-in-world-first-success

Free as in freedom, not as in beer.

I drink the water, and then I have to go somewhere else to undrink the water 5 minutes later!

Y’know what’s worse? Rebuttal doesn’t always rhyme with butthole. It doesn’t in my “version” of English (though it’s close enough to an imperfect rhyme to slip by)

Obligatory link to The Vicous Cycle

Misread that as “Gandalf” and spent a solid minute trying to figure out if Sauron, Saruman, Gollum, or indeed Frodo was the twink :/

It says on the page that

As we’re committed not to add paywalls, this purchase will not grant you any additional features in Immich. We rely on users like you to support Immich’s ongoing development.

So this is a purchase which grants you no extra bonus, which is functionally a donation. This is a common practice with software supported by Futo - they offer the software for free, but ask that you pay a good-faith “license fee” for the software anyway to help fund development. I think Louis Rossman has a video about it somewhere, if I remember I’ll link it in an edit when I have time to find it later.

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.

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

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.
