I wanted to be a ham in my teens but I couldn't figure out how to learn enough Morse, so I went into professional radio telecoms instead. Now, 40+ years later, I got my licence -- but I am still trying to learn Morse. (It's much easier with computers!)
Outside this hobby I am a maker (=mad inventor) and a beekeeper living in rural Ireland.

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social It's not, though. Here in socialist Ireland, my hospital visits are virtually free. (There's a €100/day fixed copay, which is waived if I have a low income.) Getting sick won't bankrupt me and my family with medical bills.

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social Don't forget the cost of the healthcare in your calculations.

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social The solution to this is always hot chilli sauce. It's sold as food so it can't be poison. But, even if it is food, regret is instant and normally very obvious.

@Tattie @Azuaron He's not the only one. Another occasional author here, and another who has pondered waking up as/being polymorphed into a different body. Talking to friends (I also do TTRPG) I hear that the depth of dysmorphia people would experience would vary, but it is real body horror stuff.
Also useful for understanding and building empathy now I have a non-binary child.
Thank you for putting it so well. :-)
