American doctors be like
  • Last time my son got a flu test it was $180. This time he was sick and school needed a note so I went to the Dr. They asked if I wanted a flu and covid test. I said, "How much will it cost?" Nurse said "I have no way of knowing that."

    I said, "No. Unless you tell me how much it will cost." She walked out in a huff to go get the Dr.

    How are we supposed to "let the market sort out the cost" when we can't see the cost before the bill?

  • YouTube's plan backfires, people are installing better ad blockers
  • If that is true, then how is it possible for software to determine the difference between a commercial and content? They are streamed from a different source. I'm suggesting that YouTube could encode the commercial in the same stream as content, and as far as the player is concerned, there would be no difference.

  • What do you use to backup all your photos and documents, cloud or external drive or both?
  • I have terabytes worth of family photos and videos going back decades. Imagine trying to find one in you email. Yikes.

    Google photos backs them all up for me for a couple buck a month. Every single one is available on my phone in seconds using their creepy good search tools, without taking up any phone space. That's good enough for me.

  • Fax
  • Not in my area. They make so much money standing on busy corners that they prefer to be homeless. I watched one for 15 minutes get 8 donations. It was all cash, so a minimum $8 for 15 min, $32/hour, tax free. They are making more money outside Walmart than working inside Walmart.

    Edit: It seams like a lot of people are mad that homeless people in my area are not committing crime so they can have a better life in jail.

    I don't know what to tell you. I never said they don't need help or that they have a great life or that they earn enough to get by. I said they make more money than the people who work in the Walmart that they stand in front of. There are woods behind, and they all camp out back there. I have been back there, it is quite a set-up.
