A post about price transparency wouldn't be complete without the "Surgery Center of Oklahoma"[0]. If one for profit hospital can figure out how to publish prices in advance of surgery (for a lower price), than all hospitals s

With an exception of a few, they are not kid puzzles. Instead of helping her do her simple kids puzzles, she helps me do my whimsical [0] adult puzzles. It's a win-win. We both get what we want, and because I enjoy it more she enjoys i

Making custom wiring harnesses for each option would likely be cost prohibited and needlessly complex. If one model has an option, it's likely that all vehicles of the same model are also wired for that feature. Adding features may be

Wooden Puzzles My (at the time 4 year old) daughter likes to do puzzles and she always wanted me to do them together. I got bored of doing the same easy puzzle over and over. I discovered wooden puzzles and they are amazing. Completely diff

That's only true for places like HN. For many places the article is distributed, a picture is common to be included. I have seen another commenter say that the articles shared on social media often include an artist rendition. Those wo

That got me wondering how long it took social insects to evolve. Did we have massive colonies 66 million years ago? Appears so. [0] [0] https://academic.oup.com/mbe/article/32/2/406/1054064

Many clickbait articles include both a clickbait title and a clickbait picture. The picture included in the article gives context to the meaning of perfectly preserved. Many social media platforms allow the picture to be included in post. T

Depends on the Costco. The one near me put the main entrance to the parking lot next to the store entrance. The Walmart near me has the main entrance to the parking lot at the opposite end of the store. There is also a long protected cart p

The streets are deserted. I doubt this would work with actual traffic. I would hope the app would be able to see traffic quickly flowing around the "jam".

Cant access it (ddos protection from so much new traffic), so maybe my question would be answered. I wonder what salmon would habitat the ne habitat and how long it would take. Presumably salmon return to where they were born to spawn. So o

>And I smell it on other babies, too. It’s like smelling breast milk, but emanating from the Fontainelle I wonder if its brains you smell, and a fully fused skull prevents the smell from escaping.

Me too, but more recent memories than yours I'm sure. 8 years ago I did a lot of file management. 80% of my job was moving and renaming files & folders. Finally I found DOPUS and it was a godsend. Tabs of all my common folders, bat

My local grocer was bought out by a competitor 2 miles away. They figured that most of the customers would shop at the 2 mile away store instead of the 2.7 mile away supermarket. They closed the store and maintained the lease. They were wil

Mourning the lost potential. There is a grocery store near me that sat vacant for several years. Finally a storage company took it over. It's a good thing that something is there, just wish it was an actual grocery store.
