I have, only PCBs, no assembly though.

I have been ordering from them since last century and they are excellent, great customer service too.

For now, all deaths are from AfD, so wouldn't it be more fair to only consider AfD candidates?

Suicides are sometimes considered suspicious.

The article reads 6 deaths, today another died, so the tally is now 7.

I thought HN might be a good place to discuss the odds of this.

I was halfway through your comment and wondered which country this would be. Well, hello fellow Dutchie.

Since my father's death, I say In the Netherlands, doctors only start acting when you are dying.

My father's GP let him die of acute leukemia, guessing his severe tiredness had something to do with an onset of diabetes. It was not a single visit. Had no bloodwork done. GP claimed to be specialized in geriatrics. My father was 63.

About a day after his last visit my mom took him to the ER, which did bloodwork, and a couple of days later he died ( they tried an emergency chemo ).

I am trying to find the incident you are referring to. Do you have any links/sources?

If it were really 'any' in the philosophical sense, cash would be outlawed. So no, it is not 'any', it is anywhere between more than a couple of hundred to a couple of thousands, depending on what the police or prosecutor feels is reasonable.

What is wrong with a (couple of) thousand euros?

> I know in Switzerland of money confiscated at border control

You are describing smuggling, I was talking about normal domestic use.

What is small and what is large is a matter of opinion.

If they are out to get you and can't find anything incriminating, cash will do. The press will happily report on this too : 'There was a police raid so and so, nothing was found but they found a (large) amount of cash'.

Furthermore, our government is planning legislation to make cash transactions > € 3000 illegal.

> At some point, civil forfeiture laws will lay the foundation for having any amount of cash being a sort of assumption of criminality.

Although we don't have civil forfeiture, this is already true in The Netherlands.
