Based on how much my little girl’s ICU admission cost, https://kingsley.sh/posts/2021/two-weeks-in-the-icu-as-a-bab... there is no way (in my mind) that their ICU admission will be free.

I get some Black Mirror-esque vibes from this sort of tech, too. The 90s kid in me also gets MechWarrior vibes, too. Also, I looked a while ago but is there anything up and coming in the anti-facial recognition space? I know that some guy c

I agree! I love their open API, too! I'm in the process of creating a 501c, and as part of my mission to raise awareness, I'm going to purchase 5-10 PurpleAir II and have them across Lake Michigan's entire shoreline. Or, that

Thank you, I appreciate it. I can only bring awareness to it, one man vs mega polluters is an impossible fight. I live a stone's throw from the Lake Michigan shoreline, and would happily go out there daily to get a water sample, before

I had a very sick 8 month old baby who I obviously had a million photos of. Unfortunately, my lil girl had 9 surgeries and her little body had gone through more than people can think of. She passed in May, and it's really difficult to

Yeah, it was like 1-5 minute prep, leave the room as it's being administered, and then check back later

I'm sorry buddy, getting COVID & having a sick child, as the insurer, was my worst nightmare. I feel for you. For sure, it could well be a lil Math.floor(Math.random() \* 999999999);

hey, thank you for this! I didn't want self promote, and CTA's just seems sleazy in this sense, but I'd be lying if I didn't want people to read about the charity, because we want change!

That's exactly who I am advocating for, not for myself, my wife, child, family were all loved and taken care of, which isn't the case for some children. My wife and I walked by ICU beds daily that had children just starring at the

Yeah, we were there during peak COVID too, so it was our room, her room, and nowhere in between. I worked almost every day from her ICU room. I can still find myself hearing the beeps/alarms without actually hearing them, sort of like

Thank you, this is exactly my argument. Early COVID, late appointment, we had days to decide, and once the limit had passed, I/we no longer considered it an option and the only other options were to intervene with surgeries, or, to hav

Honestly, I'd be lying if I said I don't agree. We didn't know about half of my daughter's conditions until after she was born. We lived in Indiana, and had treatment in Illinois, because of whatever laws, we were rushed

Shouldn't political action be first on the list? I wish I had the image handy, but it was something like this: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eda91260bbb7e...

I agree! How can a commoner further support the idea? But, also a step further maybe? I was in FL last week and as I was travelling home I read a story about 1000s of fish, aquatic life dead in the water, including a Manatee, apparently cau

Good question! Most companies I've reached out to have products in the range of $3,000-$10,000 for the initial cost, and then a reoccurring/annual fee of around $500-2500 (depending on what sensors are included) I reached out to a

Why do I get the feeling everything is too little or too late? I agree though, let's make them do better. I live in Gary Indiana, and while we have 2 smaller power plants near us (25-50 miles ish), there's about a million steel mi

I'll likely already know the answer (jail time?), but what if you were to "forget"? I have some long passwords that I keep out of password managers for private stuff that I don't want to be leaked from a password manager
