Go watch it. I don't want to give any spoilers, but it's the search for Gollum. I found it free on YouTube. It's 40 minutes or so. Tell me how it is.

What did you do OP... Just tell your SO that your best friend installed tinder on your phone as a joke...

[–] PolyLlamaRous 2 points 9 months ago

Just finished it. I'm impressed! Like, yeah, it's fan fiction... But well done!

Did you all know there is already a The Hunt for Gollum? Found it online. It's fan fiction from 2009 from the UK but reviews sound good.

I'm good with plants but far from an expert. If I found that, I would go to my friends place, take a few new cuttings from them, propagate them and and say goodbye to this sad fellow.

But that's not your question. If the problem is really root rot, it's tough. Cutting it and regrowing new roots in water is what I would do.

I can't view the web page in my country... But It's not real... Right? Right? It can't be real...

Thanks, and yeah, makes sense.

Would this be hard to fix? Is it worth fixing? Assuming the motor is not yet burned out, you would have to add more oil and re-seal the motor housing? Sounds simple, but I assume that there is a high likelihood that the motor is already burnt out? And maybe another reason it's leaking in the first place and not simply a seal?

Sorry, oil for what? Especially in that quantity? I'm not questioning you, but asking.

You can DM the picture to me if you like.

I have often wondered about the private insurance (not that I can afford it). I've only been on AOK I can only assume that the care is much much better with private insurance?

I assume that you are german? I have experienced similar here with dermatologists but for allergies. I went to 4 different allergists over a 8 month period to simply get tested to be able to get an epipen which could potentially save my life. This in the US took one next day visit with a doctor. Later (in the US) I saw specialists that put a lot of research into my allergies and time and attention into it. I got nothing here in Germany.

As mentioned before, despite this, I would rather support the german system though. It has its problems like everywhere, but it is at least available to everyone at more affordable prices.

Sorry about your ear problems. That sounds bad and a terrible thing to live with.

The US heathcare systems have many problems as you pointed out. I also am well aware of them as I lived there for 30 years both with and without insurance. The only thing that I can give is my lived experience in both systems. The problems that you pointed out among many others exist in most health care systems globally. Despite and including these problems in my experience the US still gives better care. That may be hard to hear (no pun intended) but the grass is not always greener.

Now don't get me wrong. I prefer the system here in Germany but not because it's better, but because it is available to everyone. People here don't go bankrupt with medical debt like in the US.
