Be nice while driving since I refuse to look at a screen, let alone type on it.

Last update changed the phone buttons around for no reason I can discern. Not sure that’s ever happened because I was shocked, never had to relearn the buttons.

I rolled my own VPN, no issues. Won’t say how because I got my ass beat for recommending it last time.

Stop that. Yes, luck and heredity are the #1 factors in wealth and success. Stop using those factors as excuses.

Most docs these days aren’t fixing broken bones, straight to the ER. When I broke my first bone, 9th bd, 1980, doc had the services available to get me in a cast on the spot.

Don’t know if it’s a liability thing, or hyper-specialization, but I wouldn’t expect a general practitioner to do more than read the X-ray and say, “Off you go.”

Some good news though! Been sent to the ER 3 times worried about my heart. No, I have zero heart issues despite smoking for 20 years and drinking for 30, but I’m kinda noid about it. Last time I was at my GP, they gave me an EKG and a reading right in the office!

American medicine: 5 steps forward, 4 steps back, don’t be unlucky.

Don’t understand. If the X-ray didn’t show it, I’d figure I had a minute fracture, do what the doc said, go about my day. I’ve had many breaks, no compound fractures, but a few greenstick and the like, plenty that were so minor, wasn’t any care that would make a difference (per the doctors). Not much can be done with ribs and fingers and toes. :)

Can you explain why it took an MRI to see the break? Not in the medical field, not being mean or sarcastic, just can’t get my head around it. As I understand it, that is not what an MRI scan is for.

Yes, without the ACA it would have been far more than you could afford, but not hundreds of thousands. I’ve had a few surgeries, and not even the shattered femur was over $100,000, even with the overinflated prices.

BTW, fixing to lose my Obamacare! Nice, ain’t it?

Hitler cared about world perception of the Reich. Trump isn’t looking to earn adoration and praise, he thinks it’s his due.

Works fine for me, Firefox and Ublock Origin, DNS by PiHole. I think there’s something on your machine causing this.

Right!? I was excellent at French in college, but it’s been 35-years.

I say I say BOY! How dare you tarnish my FINE reputation with such slander!

(Um, I not certain I’ve ever operated a kayak sober, at least later in the day. Which is why my wife drives home.)

In college I got chunked in the drunk tank for riding my bike buzzed. Did the roadside aerobics perfectly, they cuffed me when I did the alphabet backwards and mixed up M and N. No shit.

Most business is over VOIP and so then is the fax.

I have a theory that somewhere in China there’s a warehouse with a trillion of these damned things. Want to make a cheap product? Grab a truckload!

Worst part of this story is the governor overriding local will. Hell, worst part of Florida is the governor. Much of the evil shit you hear about us can be laid on DeSantis’ doorstep.

Bro, the actual text is shorter than the summary. Not like it’s written in Middle English or something.

Jesus fucking Christ, I sometimes feel like one of the more violent motherfuckers on here, but advocating for hanging this child is beyond even me.

Me: Get armed, learn safety and local laws, practice. Fascism is here. It’s here now. Fighting back may end in your personal extinction.

Mods: BANNED

Also lemmy: “Hang this punk kid!”

Mods: Meh. I’ll allow it.

The song is basically hyping how he’s so rich he’s got a Cybertruck.

LOL, look up “brothel laws”. :)

I searched “illegal for more than X people who aren’t related to each other to share a home” and came up with quite a bit.

If it’s mealy five bucks, refundable on contract fee to weed out the unserious, I’m fine with that. Look at your own example, “location is crappy”. That’s on the person looking if they couldn’t figure that out ahead of time. I can see a rental post being misleading, but having rented a dozen or so places, never seen anything unexpected.

Ever sold anything on FaceBook Marketplace? Do NOT put anything out there for free. You’ll be overrun by assholes, just as in the post you’re replying to. If you charge $5 or $10, those people actually show up.
