Hm. Let's see what I get.

And here's another one for good measure:

Yikes. I'm guessing that provider has had issues being paid by this insurer in the past?

People do not say “oooh that’s a lot of money - is there a worse doctor who is cheaper?”, instead they say “100% yes I will remortgage my home and sell assets to pay for the cancer treatment my child needs.”

I can't believe how many times I had to make this exact point to dipshits I worked with any time they uttered the term "free market".

What am I going to do in an emergency in the back of an ambulance on the way to the ER? Hey, can you guys pull over for a sec? I need to check if the current ER doc is in network. Fuuuck ooooffff.

I then recount the time I needed a non-emergency procedure (MRI for my back) which affords me plenty of time to shop around. I proceeded to call around to try to get prices (LOL) and then I got my insurance and MRI place on the phone all at once and I STILL couldn't get a solid number for how much it would cost me. Who the fuck else needs to be on the call to get a number???

They literally don't even have a product.

Then don't buy it.

(I'm tired of the oversimplification that gets voted to the top of any social media)

It is, yes. But it’s also legal to make your own.

It’s possible in a post on Lemmy but OP wasn’t about to do that.

Just included links to help the POS.

[UPDATE] Could use some recommendations for a (usually) quick typist. (lemmy.world)

At home I have a Das Keyboard with Cherry MX browns and they feel great. I think this is the quickest I've been able to type on any keyboard.

I type a lot for my new job and no one cares if I bring in my own keyboard but for my coworkers sake, I don't think I want to bring in browns. I'm a heavy typer and frankly I'm loud on browns.

I searched for quieter keys and found Cherry MX Red Silents (Durgod keyboard) but after typing on it a few days at work, I'm making way more mistakes, I'm typing slower, and my hands are more fatigued. That's when I learned about linear vs tactile... I think tactile is what I need.

So with that, I'm looking for:

Need:

  • Tactile
  • Light switches (should not take much force to activate? idk. Browns are good for me, for reference)
  • Quiet
  • 100% layout

Want:

  • Switches I can put the Draula keycaps on that my friend bought me. I just know they fit fine on Cherry MX Browns and Red Silent.
  • USB-C port. I have a coiled cable I want to use already.

Nice to have:

  • Hot swappable PCB

Open to other info I'm not thinking about.

Edit: After looking around some more this evening, I'm leaning toward grabbing a Keychron K10 Pro, grabbing some Zilents V2's and sticking those in there, then popping on the caps I have. This would be the most building I've done for a keyboard. See any issues with that?

Update

Based on the recommendations here and some other threads I read, I went with a Keychron Q6 Max and the Zilent V2's.

I confirmed that my poor speed and accuracy on the (previous) new board I had gotten was definitely due to my not being used to linears. After a day of using the new Keychron with Zilents I did a typing test and got a new PB.

Thanks for all the suggestions! Now I'm in trouble because I want to replace my home keyboard with the same...

The inevitable at last arrived. Last month, for the first time, passively managed funds controlled more assets than did their actively managed competitors.

I honestly thought this happened a while ago...

[Solved] Reno 911! episode where they stop chasing a (naked?) man as soon as he crosses out of their jurisdiction. (lemmy.world)

I seem to remember this was a Reno 911! episode but my YouTube searching hasn't been able to find the episode/clip.

I think they were chasing a naked man but none of the cops wanted to touch him for obvious reasons. They made a half-hearted attempt to cuff/capture him but as soon as he crossed out of their jurisdiction (county line or something) they throw their hands up because that's not their job anymore.
