The fucking McDonald’s case will never cease to haunt the internet.
In civilised countries there are robust laws protecting the customers and oversight agencies doling out fines or even closing up unsafe establishments. In the US, you have to sue the restaurant that caused you disfigurement and disability through their repeated and reported unsafe practices just so you can pay your resulting medical bills, and the internet will forever ridicule you for it.

I’ve been to Frankfurt area this summer and passed by accidents on the highway every couple days or so. They just usually clean them up very quickly.
- Comment on Minimum wage isn't survivable anymore 3 weeks ago:
60 buck monthly phone budget is something that will sound reasonable to the policymakers. “Food budget”, however, is completely abstract and negotiable. People who never had to count what they spend on food will argue that everyone can permanently live on the cheapest food items they’ve ever heard of. Don’t forget that according to Fox News, you can eat a whole Thanksgiving dinner for $10. It’s dumb, but that’s how they think, so you have to meet them there if you want to try and get through to them and make a difference.
- Comment on Doorless showers just make a mess and everything ends up wet 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, I’m saying they made it code because the doorless showers are the standard, not that putting door there would somehow invalidate the code.
I come from another European country and the law only requires waterproofing the floor + wet areas (shower, around the bath etc.)
- Comment on Doorless showers just make a mess and everything ends up wet 4 weeks ago:
I’m not saying it’s not code, I know it’s code. And it’s code because they’re all doing the open shower thing. Why else would they want the whole room waterproofed if not because the whole room routinely gets wet?

What if I like the taste of shampoo?
But seriously, doorless doesn’t have to mean completely open, for example I have a glass divider wall in my bathroom, towels and toothbrushes stay safely behind the wall.

Dude, why do you think this is the code in Northern Europe?
- Comment on Doorless showers just make a mess and everything ends up wet 4 weeks ago:
Shower doors are difficult to clean well, shower curtains stick to the body, space is limited (problem if you’re bigger), steam can make it harder to breathe…
Finns have figured out doorleess showers: they waterproof the whole room and equip it with a squeegee on a long stick. The floor is flat with a slight slope towards the drain. After you’re done you just wipe the floor with the squeegee (takes 10 seconds) and that’s it.
- Comment on They eliminated cashiers and keep the profits. NY Democrats are fighting back. 1 month ago:
Sure, but I cannot eliminate that link. I can, however, queue to the cashier so that they can put food on the table.
- Comment on How often is normal to masturbate? 2 months ago:
Have you considered that the friends might be insincere about their own frequency too? In many societies masturbation is considered shameful. Even when people admit they do it, they might not want you to think they do it “too much”.

If you suspect you might have sleep apnea, you should first see a doctor. I see you use €, so there’s a chance you won’t need to pay to use a machine - you might get one from your health care operator for free.
For example: my family member in Finland got a diagnosis, and with it he got issued a machine, on the condition that he uses it on most nights. The machine is internet connected. Once a year a doctor makes a remote check-up: they look through the data collected by the machine to see if it works well for you (effective air pressure, persistent obstructions etc.). If you use the machine on most nights (at least 70% of the year), you get to keep it for another year. You also get a new mask, hose and air filter once a year for free.
I hope you can have a similar experience in your home country.

It’s a machine that supports your breathing while you sleep. If you have sleep apnea, you will stop breathing multiple times during the night, which will prevent you from properly resting. CPAP machine connects to a mask on your face and produces a slightly elevated air pressure, which forces air into your lungs.
