It's not to protect the patient (well also that), it's to protect the doctors. My granddad was a medical student back when they still reused syringes. That gave him a liver infection, so he could not donate blood his entire life

I hope whoever owns it makes sure to start it at least once a year. Such a shame for such a new engine to not be started at least infrequently. Maybe I'll find it someday. I will admit, these days I have been doing the most to ensure

Well, should you ever get the opportunity, however, I wish you success! My DS originally came with the 5-speed manual. The 5-speed transmission is special, and the engine was specially built to support it. If your half-automatic failed, y

Except the S-class system is just suspension, not shock absorbing like the Citroën-system. Plus it's just suspension, not steering and brakes either. How would you incorporate that if you replaced it with the S-class system? You&#

If the DS has been taken well care of, they don't break down. My 1974 Citroën DS 23 has been running several years now without issue. While the engine isn't great, it's a sturdy one. And the hydraulics system, while comple

I was actually considering including Estonia in my list, but they are not a member of the Nordic Council. And Estonia's Nordic bona fide is a matter of dispute. Personally, I believe Estonia to be a Nordic country, including having t

A lot of people confuse 'Scandinavian' with 'Nordic'. Scandinavia is a geographical description, Nordic is more cultural, which includes Scandinavia, Finland and Iceland.

If they had more detailed locations like at the city level, then a map would be far more useful. But since it's mostly just by country, then it actually gives off the wrong impression.

I wish they also separated European countries by subnational jurisdiction. In the US they do it by cities, surely they should be able to separate Italian provinces, French departments and German states. They are reported like that in the

I've encountered one merchant in Denmark using iZettle. He has since replaced it with the regular PoS. I can only imagine that is more expensive for him, but I wonder why he abandoned iZettle? Maybe it doesn't work that well?

Tourists, I'd imagine. I am not sure how many merchants you know in Sweden that accepts UnionPay? At least of the smaller ones. And I know most German tourists prefer cash, generally any tourist from a cash heavy society will prefer

Another consideration is PoS cost. In Denmark, I know that credit card PoS's are super expensive to rent. And you need to rent them, because if you buy them - which is even more expensive - you'll have to replace them every year

Frankly, and I know this is going to sound cynical, but I feel like their pricing model suggests that they have given up on getting new Delphi users, and only wish to milk the remaining Delphi customers for as long as they can.

As someone who has spent 10 years working with Delphi (from 2008 - 2019), it lacks far behind compared to other modern IDEs. In 1995, Delphi was definitely ahead of its time, but has been unable to pick up. Each new release of the suite c

My honest opinion is that they are just whining. Considering how well the Danish television industry is doing, it seems like they aren't short on cash. Danish films, on the other hand, has definitely taken a back seat to television p
