It makes sense to start with the year zero when you want to do any calculations that involve dates that where before and after year one. If an empire was founded in 50 BC and dissolved in 50 CE to calculate its age when it was dissolved you have to acknowledge that there is no year zero so instead of just calculating 50 - (-50) = 100 you have to substract one which is counter intuitive. Because it went from year 1 BC straight to 1 CE.

Type 1 diabetes only accounts for 5-10% of cases so you can assume that the numbers most likely mostly come from type 2 diabetes cases. I agree that this is making the data more imprecise than necessary but not completely useless.

Mein Handy hat neu 170€ gekostet und ich nutze es jetzt schon seit über drei Jahren. (Ich denke aber dieses Jahr steht ein neues an) Um sich wirklich zu lohnen müsste das Fairphone also schon sehr lange halten und da ist mein Vertrauen nicht groß genug für eine Investition von 700€. Zudem es ja auch vorher schon runter fallen oder verloren gehen kann. Aus ethischer sicht finde ich das Fairphone aber gut. Vielleicht kaufe ich eins wenn es ein gutes Angebot für ein gebrauchtes gibt.

You can look for ESD heel & shoe straps. They are relatively cheap and help you discharge while walking around or buy shoes that are ESD rated in the first place.

But with a million bucks you wouldn't really be bound by location anymore. You could just retire somwhere that is cheaper and without the need to work most of your waking time you aren't even really limited by language as you have plenty of time to learn a new language.

Scooters are much cheaper than e-bikes. You can probably get two e-scooters for the price of an e-bike. They are probably closer to regular bikes in price. But regular rental bikes are less attractive to people with low fitness levels. Especially when they have airless tires.
