I am originally from the Himalayas (Garhwal specifically), although not quite as high as in the article, my village is at 5000 ft and damn did I have a shock when I took my desi friends up there (desi means people from the Indo-Gangetic plains, I unfortunately had to come to New Delhi for college and you can imagine the contrast!). While in Delhi, I am one of the more unathletic nerds, but as soon as we were in the mountains, these guys were no match for me! Roads are still very few and far in between in my region so you have to walk a lot, and these guys were getting tired on paths even small children and 80 year olds have no problem completing!
I visited the region around Dharamshala last year which is the same altitude (1500m) and was somewhat surprised I did not notice any effects of the altitude. My whole life (nearly 40) I've been living at sea level, except for trips.
I've lived mostly outside cities though so no major pollution. I'd imagine for Delhi folks the pollution must have a big effect on their lungs - but you'd think it would translate to working well for high altitude.
Ask a Himachali person how far something is and it's always "just around the next hill." Another couple of hours of walking and you"ll still get the same answer.
Not the parent but you can set up Dynamic DNS at home and Wireguard in your router and later use the Wireguard connection to connect to your home network and have a safe tunnel.
Yep! And TP-Link, Asus, GL.iNet, MicroTik, and other consumer routers also have Wireguard/OpenVPN servers and Dynamic DNS clients.
For the parent commenter: you set up an account at a Dynamic DNS service, and configure your router so when it's online, a dynamic DNS hostname will always point at your router's IP. Then you set up a Wireguard or OpenVPN server on your wifi AP. Then set up your phone, laptop, etc to connect to that server at the dynamic dns hostname. Now you have a VPN server running on your home wifi AP. Connect when you're away from home, and your traffic will go securely through your home ISP connection.
I agree, a society shielded from blood either grows callous to it as long as the blood is somebody else's or becomes too traumatised to even defend itself even if the aggressor is perfectly fine killing them
The DSM-V criteria are also available on the CDC website.
Important notes: many of these symptoms, if acute rather than chronic, can be part of depression or anxiety which is suspected to be part of the dopamine deficit. If that’s true, you likely won’t get any neuropsychological testing because they’ll probably go away when you the base conditions. ADHD is something that would have been affecting you significantly since childhood. Also, other things can affect executive functioning like Autism Spectrum Disorder and Tourette’s (which usually manifests itself with ticks that don’t involve swearing loudly, despite its reputation in pop culture... they’re often not vocal at all.)

Dominican Republic. The medical tourism industry here is booming as well. The public sector facilities are not as nice, but you can get free care for the vast majority of basic things that a person needs, without worrying about a bill. Still, people that can usually use private clinics because the experience / comfort/convenience is much better.
What they do subsidize here is education. Anyone with the drive and family support to do so can become a doctor, but you have to do a rotation in the public medical facilities to maintain your licence, and all public hospitals are teaching hospitals, so your case will be observed by 10 to 15 students and a bunch of residents if it’s interesting.
The system seems to work well.
I should also clarify that 75 dollars is about a weeks wages here at minimum wage, so roughly equivalent to $400 in the us economy. That figure tracks for most cost of living expenses here, except luxury items which are typically more expensive here than in the USA.
lol no. Private health insurance in Germany is ~800-1000 for a 60 y.o. – public insurance might be cheaper, but you need to qualify for that when you move here by working as an employee when you're that old. Working permission will require you to work full time. So you'll end up working full time and pay ~600-1200 (based on your salary) in contributions.
I never said public healthcare is free for strangers. It’s rarely the case.
Most of the time if you are not a citizen you need to either work or pay taxes. In fact even if you are a citizen, you may not be covered if you live abroad.
It’s relatively easy to be covered as a stranger : in 99% of situations, if you just set up here seriously and not as a tourist, you’ll be covered. I count a 60yo who never contributed to the system or worked here as a tourist.
Yeah, I run a coffee /cacao farm that employs a few locals, but obviously I don’t qualify for the government insurance. My insurance is private/ un subsidized.
