Because the food was so bad and the women were so ugly that they had no choice to but leave

Quite the take. We do one of the units in our apartment building as an AirBnB. It makes a bit more per month than just renting would.

It is cleaned and inspected very thoroughly between guests. We wouldn't do it if we couldn't offer great service.

Certainly would never want to show up at check-in/check-out though, and it'd probably freak me out if someone did that at one we stayed at. It's not a hotel and it doesn't need to be treated as one.

Just went through the process recently...

Luckily Urgent Care was able to go from ultrasound to CT scan in 1 day. The long wait time has come from the insurance honestly.

Had to go to a different hospital because the original one I went to has to get an approval from United before getting it done (other hospital 2 blocks away doesn't have that same requirement??)

I got referred to a dedicated cancer center and then guess what, I have to call United and ask them to approve it - but I can't get an appointment to do that for 2 weeks.

Ended up doing all the legwork on my own and was able to get a consultation done within a week. Now I'm having to do biopsies, PET scan, ect. Depending on the result I might be able to get it removed next week!

But the pain has become so severe I can't eat, sleep, even lay down without extreme discomfort. I can't imagine waiting around on the insurance to walk me through it.

Funny enough, United sent us a letter in the mail asking if I really wanted to get that original CT scan! Like no, I'd rather not know I have a 7" tumor in my abdomen. Simply a joke of an industry

Solid list there! I love Calibre and ScummVM. Is Scumm still under development though?

Then you're going to have to start paying entry level IT like surgeons. Nobody is going to take that kind of risk for $30K.

Why does a state have ad tracking data? Are they really that hard up for cash that they need to have ad campaigns for people selecting insurance?

You can absolutely deny apps internet access. I do it for the Google Keyboard app.

Clearly not

Ha,this could have been written by me as well. Aphantasia is so weird to try to describe to people.

I've never been great about taking photos, but my wife always remembers. Recently spent some time consolidating all of the to Immich and being able to see the "memories" every day is incredible.

I went to a startup weekend maybe 9-10 years ago. It was a lot of fun. I didn't pick the best idea to work on, just the funnest sounding. Ended up with a small team (3 of us total) and we we're one of the only ones to actually have a good demo. I try to do some kind of hackfest every year now.

There is just something magical about working on something fun and pulling an all nighter.

It's pretty common in fosscad (3D printed firearms subreddit), that people will get DMs from brand new accounts asking them to do illegal things. Cops/Feds are really doing the least possible to entrap people
