This makes me wanna play MGS again. One of the few games - maybe the only one - I finished more than once. Being from the PSX era it still holds up well. It’s honestly a masterpiece and I’m so happy that I was able to play it as a kid when it was released.

    Using deadly force against a pregnant woman leads to a dying fetus. That’s just the same thing the long way around. It also gives an infinite loophole to use deadly force against someone using deadly force. Basically the whole country could kill itself legally, with only one person surviving 🤷🏻‍♂️

    In comparison:

    German statutory health insurance (GKV) in 2026 totals around 21% of gross salary (14.6% base + ~2.9% average Zusatzbeitrag) plus 3.6% Pflegeversicherung — combined employer and employee. For a €4,000/month salary, that’s roughly €840/month total; at the income cap of €5,812.50, the full combined cost reaches about €1,220/month. Employee and employer each cover roughly half.

    I think the cheapest combination would be state owned hospitals and health centers. The state owns the land, pays the staff and buys equipment and medication in huge quantities, which may result in cheaper prices. If not, they could also start producing their own base medication.

    A profit oriented health sector is not a good idea. It only gives you minimum care combined with high costs.

    Victron user here. The devices they build are rock solid. They may have some tiny quirks here and there but so do other manufacturers.

    If you have some engineering background they are perfect. Everything is open, you can write software extensions in node red for example. Best part is it is modular with open interfaces and it uses standard battery voltages. You can optimize everything for your usage and I’m sure you can keep it Running for decades. A Multiplus has the look and feel of hardware made in the 60-70s. But in a good way: Built to last.

    Price wise they are more expensive than chinese Equipment but not a lot more expensive than other systems from well known brands. Can highly recommend
