If you are one of these customers (I am) this seems a little unfair. We overpaid way more than we’ll ever see back. What kind of refund does this translate to $6?

You don’t play this game. We are all pawns, you can’t choose to play or not. You are the product and almost every organization you interact with is trying to get a piece of the action. Some of the worst offenders selling you out are your st

Safari on iOS with BlockBear and Firefox Focus as content blockers ends up blocking the page after I click the Test button. I tried both with real tracker and not. Also not sure that’s good or bad?

What I usually see if just poorly implemented tagging. For example, if Google Analytics javascript breaks then so do the links I want to click. I’ve seen it on my 529 plan website and in other places. I suppose tracking blockers could forge

S. Boulardii seemed to help me. I had a period of about a year with Crohn’s-like symptoms. I tried a lot of remedies, S. Boulardii did seem to help.

Can you sync passwords between Firefox and Keychain? I’m essentially looking for that. I use iOS apps which leverage Keychain which can share passwords with both app and website. I’d ideally like to not have multiple password tools.

I’ve been using the MacOS Beta for a while and lack of uBlock Origin has made browsing terrible again. Ads everywhere now and I had forgotten how bad it was. Firefox has gotten pretty good now, the only problem is no integration with Keycha

This seems silly. The state clearly authorized the operation. The contractor acted in good faith. Yes some mistakes may have been made on both sides but it serves no one to prosecute these guys and label them burglars.

Yeah if you were seeing ads for Cover then you’re already likely in someone’s “high propensity to buy insurance” list that ad bidding platforms use to target. Insurance companies usually deploy digital marketing capital fairly efficiently

Are you sure it was Cover and not another source? Did you search in your browser, Google, etc? Was your existing policy expiring around the same time? Basically whenever you go shopping and don’t buy, an insurance carrier or agent can assum

I’d be interested in the stats on call resolution at the off/on step. You have to assume it’s large enough that they ask it first. Also I’m genuinely curious, what sort of response you expected to get when you called and told them abou

Thanks for the perspective. As you said, it’s very tough in the moment to hear from the doctor that it’s in your head. When you’re physically ill and looking for real answers it really feels like a non-answer. To me as a patient that answer

How did you go about testing and treating? Is this a thing a regular doctor can have tested? I have friends that swear by naturopaths and they usually say they start with lots of tests for vitamin levels.
