Good morning!

orestis06:02:21

I have an cultural question… you sign up yourself or your child for a gym, or swimming lessons, or a sports team or some other organized physical activity. Is there a medical checkup involved in any step?

grav06:02:49

Nothing I've ever heard of

You often have to sign a disclaimer stating that you have no known medical conditions

dharrigan06:02:26

That would be quite unusual (speaking for Ireland/UK).

dharrigan06:02:43

(I mean, medical checkup)

dharrigan07:02:19

My kid does a few physical extra-school activities and we've never had to go through a medical with him. I've not seen it for others either.

Ben Sless07:02:50

Depending on the country you might need a physical checkup from your family physician, mostly for insurance purposes.

dharrigan07:02:51

They do usually have a checklist of questions like allergies or whatnot, but that's all self-certified by you as the parent (or carer).

Ben Sless07:02:27

It depends on the venue, too. Gyms require it here but MMA gyms do not

dharrigan07:02:34

I would suspect that is mostly non-european countries 'tho. As in Europe most people already have state-wide medical insurance (such as the NHS or equivlant)

dharrigan07:02:51

We're talking about children here 'tho, not adults 🙂

Ben Sless07:02:10

Best is to call the place and ask

orestis07:02:46

It’s mandatory in Greece to get a physical checkup, usually including a heart exam (ECG or even ultrasound).

orestis07:02:24

I wonder if there’s a population thing (eg Greeks have a higher diabetes occurrence) or if we just have too many private doctors :)

Irati08:02:23

Not until they play in official tournaments at about 12 years old.

simongray10:02:10

never heard of that here in Denmark

devurandom14:02:25

Not required in Germany. But children (under a certain age) are generally not permitted in (regular) gyms.

Daniel Craig16:02:58

Physical exams are required for youth sports in the USA (South Carolina) in my experience

grav06:02:07

Morning!

I think this is a very UK thing, but not sure.

thomas08:02:42

But enjoy anyway 😉

As I grew up in protestant area I am not overly familiar with all these things, even tough my mum is a catholic we didn't really do anything for carnival.

borkdude11:02:25

I'm afraid not many people have heard of something like "wafeldinsdag" in NL, google doesn't come up with many hits either

borkdude11:02:16

My wife eats pancakes for lunch several times a week, nothing related to Lent though

jackrusher13:02:26

(wafeldinsdag was a joke based on the attached painting 🙂)

jackrusher13:02:25

I opted for a French-made buckwheat one with spinach today, similar to this one:

borkdude13:02:29

but pancakes aren't called wafels in Dutch ;)

😆 2
jackrusher13:02:44

The Dutch traditionally made waffles the day before Lent to get rid of the eggs, cream, &c, which inspired Brueghel's painting. Pancakes are the Irish/UK version of the same tradition.

Morning all.

Is there a good guide to efficient development with Reagent that I wouldn’t know about? 😄 Haven’t sharpened the saw in a while.

Tja ba!

have a nice morning~

otfrom17:02:21

I'm not quite sure what it is I like so much about using reduce, and vector, and peek/pop/conj

lemontea18:02:01

is it… oddly satisfying?

lemontea18:02:05

it’s like biting off a chocolate bar one bit at a time until it’s all gone

😄 2
otfrom20:02:28

exactly like that

lemontea18:02:42

don’t eat the emergency chocolate bar though… (unless you’re low on energy and really need it)

otfrom18:02:39

too late

otfrom18:02:44

I was very low on energy though
