The Crock Pot branded essentially knockoffs are good. We’ve had one for years. Haven’t seen anything about ill-advised political pandering there so far, at least.

Yep, and that applies even without any existing health concerns going in. Better hope you don’t develop any while living under those conditions.

I’m T1 diabetic, and have an unfortunately reasonable expectation that even a week spent in jail back in the US could very easily turn into a death sentence. It does happen with depressing regularity. That’s just looking at one very straightforward (and easily treatable) chronic condition, and a couple of fairly recent examples which have gotten more publicity than most such cases ever will. It’s a mess.

I caught mumps at around 30, during one outbreak thanks to the proliferation of antivax garbage. Only about half of kids in some London boroughs were fully vaccinated, centered around a couple of the wealthiest areas–and that was nearly 20 years ago. (Meanwhile, I was indeed fully vaccinated as a kid. It’s not foolproof, and especially not forever.)

Thankfully recovered just fine without complications, but that really was NOT much fun. Adults are pretty much guaranteed to get sicker, even if they’re otherwise fairly young and healthy–and lucky enough to avoid any of the serious complications which are likelier to occur.

I haven’t seen anything really discouraging out of Infomaniak, either, for e-mail and drive services. Been using them for a while now.
