I did, as I said, I went through Aid Access. I checked some of the others as well. > Telehealth, looking to take Medicaid. "Looking to take Medicaid" is a strange way of saying they currently do not accept any form of insurance

Payment methods are often things like Cashapp or BTC.

People buy highly illegal drugs on the Internet all the time. Yes, most people regard an address as sufficiently anonymous, and either way, it's obviously not meaningfully doctor-supervised if a possibly-imaginary doctor never sees any

Damore was very clear that he did not believe women are objectively inferior engineers. What should we take away from the fact that so many repeat something he did not say and did not mean, and what should we do with people who misrepresent

No, I don’t. To regard it as suspicious I would have to know: - Has this happened before? - are they actually compliant with the rules? Or are they being banned and then unbanned because we’re sympathetic to them? - was anyone mass reportin

We’re talking about posts promoting prescription medications. There were always strict rules about this on Facebook (banned by default) and the fact that most of these posts ever stayed up was more likely a result of oversight and possibly

There's no doubt that racism played a role, but a lot of the bitterness was more related to the fact that a huge influx of people, some of them very desperate, arrived and worked in the shrimping industry for low wages and in terrible

Yeah. If anything, the 20th century was sort of a nadir for this sort of thing, as increasingly large portions of the population became more alienated from the natural world. That made it possible for young kids and teenagers to have no c

It doesn't. Brandenburg and the related case law is clear on this. "Imminent" doesn't mean "someone else plots to assassinate a CEO and does it four months later." It means right now , like standing in the s

Thank you for this great post. I've noticed over time people seem to be absorbing notions of the limits of the 1A that just aren't true; I think a lot of it is stories exactly like this. The longer that goes on, and the more wides

Yes, once it's fully into the dry period. The transition period involves a lot of fire.

Thanks for that link. The data also shows that, over a longer (millennia) timescale, California is currently in a wet period. Context is very important. Climate change is a critical issue, but solving it doesn't help California stop

It will get worse no matter what. Even if we went carbon-negative tomorrow, California in currently in a historically wet period. The music will stop no matter what, unless we acquire planetary weather control. > Across the Californian

Transistor is a portmanteau of "transfer" (from the Latin transferre ) and resistor (from the Latin resistere ), I think it still works. ;) (I think even resistor may be OK Latin according to the etymology I'm looking at,

In most of the US, as long as you are sufficiently academically qualified, you can go to a public university for free or nearly so. The exact standards vary by state, but they are not all that rigorous. The federal government on top of this

Given how hard this is to reconcile with the investigation, I think it’s likely Musk is trolling and that’s his idea of humor.

The article establishes pretty clearly Dittman is not imaginary, and he is not Elon. I’ve been skeptical, but I thought it was possible. The evidence seemed weak, though - I’m a relative nobody, and when I had a tiny bit of e-fame there wer

This was a story set in the south, where such pipes are rarely buried more than 2’ because the frost line is basically at the surface. I’ve done it, so I’m not underestimating it. I’ve had the exact problem described in the story. And I’m d

Like the sibling commenter, I have never heard of an auto parts store charging for this. Walmart accepts it as well. Maybe it's just in the US that things are this way, and you're in another country? I assume part of the reason th

There’s nothing hard about that, you take it to the closest auto parts store and dump it in the big tank they have for that.

You don't need a lift, you just need some ramps or to use the jack that probably comes with your car with some jack stands. I can't imagine almost any DIYer uses a lift, unless they're moved into the Very Serious Car Person W

I don’t know any modern country where people got to vote on immigration. It seems like even if you vote for the anti immigration parties you get just as much immigration. At least in America, “less immigration” won out over “more immigratio

You don’t need a lift, Walmart sells cheap ramps and many cars are high enough now you don’t even need those. Of course you can also use a jack and jack stands too, and almost every car comes now with a jack. Used oil can be disposed of at

Yeah, on most cars, changing the oil consists of: loosen/remove one bolt, drain oil, unscrew oil filter, put new filter on and bolt back, fill with amount and type of oil specified in manual. (Some also have a little plastic shield you

I think a lot of these discussions get held up on what "racist" means to them. I don't think the native people of Hawai'i or the Maori in New Zealand wanting Americans (for the former) and Anglos (for the latter) to leav

I guess this is still puzzling to me. From what I can gather, it sounds like our idea of cosmological homogeneity and isomorphism are roughly equivalent to my layman's conception of "things are evenly distributed and the universe,

Obviously this is a completely buffoonish question made by someone who has extremely limited knowledge but...what on earth do we mean by "homogeneous at high scales"? Doesn't the existence of stars, galaxies, and galactic clu

It's pretty common to read of mass shooters that they were in therapy and/or on psychiatric medication. It seems like an ounce of prevention is worth several tons of cure. We don't really have good treatments.
