I can literally drive to a CVS, spend $10 on a test, and self-diagnose a UTI by peeing on a stick. And if I go to urgent care there is a 0% chance I’ll actually see an MD for an UTI. I couldn’t think of a worse example of how your supposed

This might be the first time in my life I’ve seen someone with a similar experience. As a big fish in a small pond, opportunities just present themself to you. Free summer camp that provides college credits? Going to national/state com

Simple: I’ve never heard of it until this thread. I get probably 20 birthday party invites a year from Silicon Valley-type families, and they are all using Evite or Paperless Post. There was a time when I would have looked for alternatives

I just spent $70 to send out birthday party invites to 40 parents on Evite. The free version sends an invite with ads, links to Amazon, and other tacky stuff. As an iPhone user with two kids switching to iCloud+ is cheaper than the alternat

Doesn’t the second sentence explain the first? I can’t tell the number of times I’ve heard a variation of, “I hate Facebook [newsfeed]. I only use it for Messenger/ niche Groups/ local events/ Marketplace.” Facebook has posi

This is the rough version. I’m assuming the final one was never drawn.

Which poor public schools have any of those amenities? Most of the schools I’ve seen are in old buildings, with no air conditioning. The fancy ones may have a space for the band and a theater, while the poorer ones barely even have a playg

Agreed that it’s a red flag, but at this point we weren’t super interested in switching things up. Which is my point- if you’re not confident that your house will basically sell itself (and we weren’t, the house had been sitting on the mark

I just sold a house. In August I signed some paperwork saying we would offer 2.5/2.5 to buyer and seller, just verbally. The seller agent heavily pushed this, saying that we don’t want to work with an attorney and put everything at ris

So you bought one house with a bottom-tier agent who wasn’t worth the money and now you’re trying to recreate that experience at the same cost? You don’t even understand what your competition is. A good buyers agent- one who actually does t

How many residential houses have you personally bought or served as a realtor for? In my experience everything other than rote paperwork and sending over information is done via chat or in person. No realtor is going to walk a first-time b

My problem is that it’s extremely poorly-done. The chain seems to sprout from the first student’s hair. If the author couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to the first thing people see when they click on the webpage, how much thought is pu

The article isn’t 100% clear, but it sounds like these are people with private insurance. So if they’re not directly employed, they are likely married to someone who is. This doesn’t sound like they’re targeting indigents.

I was a rule-following middle schooler who happened to get her first period in 6th grade. There were multiple times I had to walk around with period-stained jeans and a sweatshirt tied around my waist because I was still figuring out my cyc

This article and title are extremely misleading. It’s not 3 weeks of 24-hour days. It’s 21 ‘contact days’, i.e. days in which contact was made with the healthcare system. By this definition a pregnant woman probably spends 2 ‘weeks’ on heal

I don’t understand why the 931 people should have been excluded? They started treatment and entered remission in the first stage. And I couldn’t find it the paper that’s linked, though admittedly I skimmed.

If you don’t see the writing on the wall with AV Club, you’re in denial. They’ve lost all of their best writers via attrition and forcing staff to move to LA. Half their content is mindless videos, and the main long-form content they have n

Talking and using aren’t the same thing. Did you ever see people using one of the crypto ATMs or buying anything with a crypto credit card? Especially outside of the Bay Area? If not then it’s likely a marketing expense / stunt, just

You’re off by a factor of 10: it’s $260 million, not $26 million. So that’s 13k employees using your conversion rate.

I pay for a fitness app and a meditation app. I’m such a better parent when I’m not constantly burnt out and at the end of my rope.

The article states that the accident occurred at 11pm, and there were no barriers to the bridge. A concrete barrier was put up by local residents after the accident. It sounds like nobody wanted to put up any warnings, because they might

Google is just one of the parties they are suing, it looks like they are also suing the local government and the landowner (the bridge is on private property).

My family (2 adults, 2 kids) was all vaccinated and the adults boosted when we got Covid for the first time. We all tested positive for 7+ days, and the baby was positive on Day 10 via a PCR test. Just one data point but 5 days has never se

Haha, I actually can’t even remember who the head of my department was in grad school- or of any other place that I visited post-acceptance. Just goes to show how much this one interaction stood out in my mind.

Yes, I remember there were a couple of prominent astro cases around the time I finished up my PhD. Glad to see that there was a good end result.
