I was charged $6000 for literally walking into the ER of a hospital in 2022 when I had covid and was having trouble breathing. This did not include the 20 mins of tests they ran for me before telling me I was fine and booting me out within

This is not true, because of timing, and mortgages with lower interest rates versus the current interest rate. If I bought a house in the year 2000 for 200k, and still own it now, I might rent it out for $1200 per month (after refinancing i

I don't know why this isn't talked about that often, but a lot of people who smoke weed end up needing to smoke weed to be able to eat. Which probably is part of the thing that leads to reduced BMI.

Yeah, reading the FT article, it claims “Healthcare, technology and real estate are expanding, while financial services, retail and hospitality are treading water”. Much of real estate is also a net drag that isn't productive...

I did data collection for a paper looking at the Seebeck effect in magnetic insulators about ~10-15 years ago, and it seemed like everyone in the whole physics department considered spintronics pretty dead. It feels great to see some big pr

I Still have my OG copy of BFME2. The joke is that I don't have a disk drive, or an OS to support it.

I've been trying to watch old 80s-90s movies recently. I'm happy to pay $5 or whatever, and they just aren't available anywhere. Rental stores are dead, so I can't go rent them from blockbuster or whatever, and streaming

Yes if they want to edit the running container config, that is exactly what to do. Also, if you are just running a mounted volume for the configs, you don't even have to go that far. You can just edit the mounted volume on the host mac

Sure, I can explain. Basically, adtech is the backbone of the attention economy where more clicks = more revenue. So the incentives are to always say the most inflammatory clickbait you can, to incentivize profits. Sensible and boring stabl

We are starting to have this in the US, in fact I have a company coming by to do an install of a system like this on Monday. Technically you should be able to mostly diy it, but it uses a smart panel that gets attached to the main to preven

Let’s give it a little bit of time to see, but gating the release of self driving taxis to sycophants is not the choice you make when you are confident with a product…

Turns out, the “executive” in executive branch, means it is in charge of executing the law. It is the legislative branch that makes laws. So yes, the judicial branch can stop the executive branch from “making law” because that is how the se

Park Slope jobs are listed as in Berkeley CA, when the store is in Brooklyn, NY. Judging by this and the other comments here, I think you have some bugs to squash and then try to resubmit.

> Gaining weight and keeping it is a choice. You are taking an anabolic androgenic steroid. Of course it will help you have muscles and be in "better" shape that when you weren't taking it. Same with the GLP1 drug and weig

This is a dumb argument. We are doing it now, already, no crazy budget explosions needed. Just some medium expansions of existing projects. Orion is going to send humans past the moon this year, and could theoretically send humans to mars n

Not totally. The wealthy are incredibly heavily invested in our economy. Take Elon Musk for example. He’s heavily invested in SpaceX, Tesla, and Twitter. If he walks away from the US, Tesla, Twitter, and SpaceX are all still here and can’t

Not good privacy by default, but as a hack you can also just buy a Bolt EV for like ~14k or so, then disconnect the location tracking antennae which takes like 30 mins of fiddling and $12 of parts.

Exactly, because the major thing every company needs is an opaque agent messing with all the production settings and releases that impact revenue and uptime? This is one of the silliest pitches I've heard in my life. I'm all for a

True, but they aren’t invasive here (NorCal, they are “potentially invasive” because they are invasive elsewhere, but do not spread) and native butterflies can use them as a host species here.

This always seems like a stretch to me? I have two large butterfly bushes in my ~2000 sqft pollinator garden (NorCal) and they seem to perform only moderately; I.e. they attract significantly less pollinators than almost any other plant in

Maybe but in the early 1800s there was a guy similarly saying “The idea that people would voluntarily stop enslaving people and switch to paying wages is just wishful thinking” and yet we seemed to have changed that one.

Not all meat even, it's mostly red meats (and generally ruminants) that are found to be generally unhealthy. And one of the large reasons is that over time, we have started breeding these meats to be extremely fatty, because it tastes
