It's stress hormones you use to handle stress with becoming an emotional wreck. This includes physical stress like getting sick but also of course emotional stress.

The effects of low cortisol are similar to a burnout and high cortisol makes you worry and restless on the low end and paranoid at the high end.

Corticosteroids are synthetic versions of this and often use to treat infections and inflammation.

So where I live if you have a disease, physical or mental, you go to a doctor and they decide if you're ok to drive or if you need to pass an extra test first where you are judged if you're able to drive safely with whatever disabilities you have. This is besides the standard driving test and written test. Also everybody has to take lessons with a professional.

It's however not perfect because the government doesn't have access to your medical records (which is good). But that means you have to be honest on a form about your disabilities. Plus the doctor visit is not covered by insurance and costs around 200 euros.

Plus if you already have your licence there isn't really a system in place to prevent you for driving if your health declines.

Beautiful piece of music.

Honestly I agree. And I don't consider them degrading if the purpose is to save your life. I find it humbling (maybe nowthe right word) that the plan is to have multiple people work together just to make sure you don't get left behind. But in an emergency you do need multiple people's help which is why I find them so optimistic.

I'm also happy I don't have to use them or practice with them. It doesn't seem very comfortable and honestly a bit scary.

My university had those bags. I found them... Optimistic

My university used to have a bag thing that was made to slide people down the stairs.

They repeatedly asked me if it would require it in case of emergency but since arthritis makes walking painful but not impossible, especially when adrenaline kicks in and my choices are pain or a fiery death, I never had to practice with the thing.

My high-school was build against a hill luckily but since some of the evacuation included leaving through the windows if the hallway is on fire I'm assuming the idea was to lift disabled people through it.

So a while ago an American who moved to the Netherlands asked about the proper way to store the Dutch flag.

The consensus was: put in a little plastic bag from a supermarket and shove in the back of a random closet.

From abroad, for the love of everything please go vote. Everything in the US seems to leak out and global warming is well, global.

More positivity. Or more positivity upvoated maybe. Basically it seems like complaining and negative posts get way more attention than positive ones.

For example I keep seeing a lot of posts from the Linux community that aren't about cool Linux things but about how bad Microsoft/Windows is. Note that I don't follow said community so I only see the stuff that reaches the frontpage.

More posts and communities about just genuinely cool stuff would make lemmy a lot more fun to browse.

It is kinda weird that it always seemed like THE ship while the shows with the enterprise didn't really have that even though canonically the enterprise is THE (flag)ship. Or at least not as much.

Yeah my family (mostly my grandma) used that one too but in Dutch. Wat je kop vergeet moeten de benen ontgelden.

Yeah it's odd. Nobody says S’il vous plaît but we do say svp out loud.
