Drug addicts desperate for money for example.

Thanks for the answer. So, not wealthy at all then. Good to know.

Fun fact, whenever my blood gets used to help someone, I get a text message telling me, and a thanks. Enormously satisfying.

[-] CAVOK@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

At least that's good. Keeps the wrong people from donating. Thanks for your answer.

[-] CAVOK@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago

Yeah. The motivation was never money. I was just curious since I heard that you got paid in the US. Apparently I was misinformed.

Price of blood? (lemmy.world)

I've been a blood donor for most of my adult life, and have donated about 30 liters. Where I'm at you get a token donation and a thanks for donating, but someone mentioned that in the US you get paid quite a lot depending on the quality and the blood type.

I have a fairly uncommon blood type (about 10% of the population) and a blood count of around 150.

So, how wealthy would I have been if I had donated my blood in the US instead?

Hungary’s pro-Kremlin leader Viktor Orban takes over the rotating presidency of the European Council on July 1, just weeks after fellow nationalist and populist parties surged across the bloc in European polls. Hungarian diplomats have promised a “normal” presidency over the coming six months, while experts note that the role carries limited powers. But Orban’s choice of slogan for the job suggests the EU’s serial provocateur is unlikely to shun the spotlight.

Still an interesting read for those who bothered to read it. There is also an interesting discussion to be had, because migration is very much needed into all western countries, but a growing part of the public seems to dislike it, hence the rise of the far right in both the US and the EU.

I think the flag is fine personally. It's very clear what the community is about.

[-] CAVOK@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Is that the new thing?

[-] CAVOK@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

Yeah, all EFTA members have veto rights towards new members, and you're pretty much correct but it's even worse. The UK economy is bigger than all other EFTA countries combined. There's no way they'd let the UK in.

OpenStreetmap as an alternative to the closed source maps.

OrganicMaps or OsmAnd to navigate and StreetComplete or EveryDoor to improve it.

It's the same AfD that has the same talking points as the Russia linked National Front in France. What a weird coincidence, right?

[-] CAVOK@lemmy.world 70 points 5 months ago

I'm contributing to openstreetmap because I think there should be a free alternative to Google or Apple maps.

Am I running the risk of having my contributions stolen?

“In metric, one milliliter of water occupies one cubic centimeter, weighs one gram, and requires one calorie of energy to heat up by one degree centigrade—which is 1 percent of the difference between its freezing point and its boiling point. An amount of hydrogen weighing the same amount has exactly one mole of atoms in it. Whereas in the American system, the answer to ‘How much energy does it take to boil a room-temperature gallon of water?’ is ‘Go fuck yourself,’ because you can’t directly relate any of those quantities.” ― Josh Bazell, Wild Thing
