I am truly honored. I hope every blood donation I gave was able to help save a life. I always wonder about how the recipients are doing, and what circumstances led them to need a life saving blood transfusion. The blood bank keeps all of that private for security reasons, of course, along with the name of the donors who donate....
I need to start donating blood again, I have donated 27 times in my 36 years, but stopped during the pandemic as I lived a year on painkillers due to messed up feets and knee.
It has been two years since and while I am on high blood preassure meds, I feel fine to donate.
Oh yeah, there is a long list of questions about your recent medical, sexual and travel history and you are required to answer before you may donate blood.
I did travel to Spain back in March, so I’ll have to check how long I need to wait…
I just checked the rules and they seems to have been updated, there used to be a rule for traveling to our neighbours, Norway, Finland and Denmark, and other rules for different parts of Europe, but seems to have been loosened a bit, now it only talks about areas with malaria.
Eh, I’ll find out when I get there.
I hope they still have the lovely colab with a local hospital so you can have them send a teddy bear to a child in hospital rather than get a gift for yourself, you still get pins for giving 10/25/50 times though.
WTF, we have gangs here in Sweden (as you probably have heard), and they are horrible, they build bombs, blow up houses and shoot people, but it is mainly aimed at rival gangs, I have never heard about using needles to attack others, much less outsiders.
And them wanting tourists not to stay too long, do they have a list of how long you have stayed in Ireland?
I live in the greater Stockholm area in Sweden, we don’t use the “metro” city term, but to me it seems like there could be three definitions, I will use Stockholm as an example:
Stockholm, the actual area the city covers.
Metro Stockholm, the area that the Stockholm Metro serves, this include peices of suburbs.
Greater Stockholm, the area served by the larger lines of public transport.
Nah, it is disconinued since many years, I thought it was kinda neat at first, but realized it would be faster to just use the full firefox browser instead.
I have a pretty broad music taste, I have rock, classical, pop, eurodance, opera, bitpop, industrial, metal, ballads and more on my phone, except rap or hiphop.
There is just something in me that as soon as I hear either it just sounds like shit.
I tried to, but I just coulnd’t stand the rythm or the rapper’s voice.
Sorry but the genere just isn’t for me.
The one song that might classify as rap/hiphop that I do enjoy is youtu.be/KD59LJX2r38 though is has a lot of pop in it, the video is quite cool, and I would be lying if I said that I would not like to have a fur baseball cap.
This allways confuses me, if you don’t want a huge mountain of dirty clothes to be seen, do the laundry from time to time.
I get it, in war/combat bad shit happens, but when it does happen investigate it properly and analyze the cause of the bad shit.
Only when you have that knowledge can you hope to do better.
Soldiers commiting crimes in other nations, that shit needs to be stamped out and the soldiers need to understand how their behavior affects their own ability to their job.
A few months ago I read up on how much energy is used in a bitcoin transaction compared to a VISA transaction, it was something like 10000 times more energy for a bitcoin transaction

For example, I have kept the habit of washing my hands with soap, first thing when I come home.
