Reminds me of “The Cube Rule”, which argues that a hot dog is a taco!

(Sincere) are you implying that these pictures are the elite/upper class and the counter narrative is more the norm of the time?

Edit: nvm, other comments in the feed seem to add further context.

But that first purge feels so healthy though!

Kinda…. :/

Epitome and Penchant for me. Mocked mercilessly for those two.

I read recently that white plastic was the more expensive color to produce. I wanted to cite/link a source but internet search is frustratingly bad these days.

Edit: Not quite what I read but close enough.

Ridiculous isn’t it? I had my annual physical a few weeks back, which for me is filling an online form and having my blood pressure read and a few blood tests. $550, insurance pays for everything.

Well. Almost. Turns out 2 of my blood tests were not covered by some healthcare bill passed in 2007. $267. And the mole I asked to be checked, billing code wasn’t covered as standard checkup, and so that question was $240. Mole was benign, and surprisingly didn’t result in some convenience fee.

ER was in-network. The nurse and doctor was also in-network. The second nurse, who connected me to the ECG, and the person who read the ECG was not in-network. No way of knowing at the time. Balance billing was permitted in that state at that time, which out-of-network provider used to the full extent.

I’m still salty about that.

I appreciate your work. (sincerely)

I have an extension on this, in that a triple tap on the switch by the doors, will also lock the doors after 60 seconds.

I have a MikroTik Router providing DHCP to the various networks on my homelan. Each device seems to get a regular host name collision, and so the router appends a number to the end of the existing host name. My computer is currently called “Machine-8272537”. I tried fixing it a few times, setting different timeout/lease time parameters and disabling “privacy protection” on the devices, but nothing fixes it. Been like this 3 years now. I just kinda ignore it.

They did, and I quote:

As to comments/criticisms on the tone/style, Yeah, corporate videos are corporate videos!” the company then said, adding a shrug emoji.
