    No. It’s always people selling services ($50/month for cleaning the trash and recycling cans FOH).

    If it looked like it could be a neighbor or something I would if I could tell from the Ring camera. But it’s almost always young guys in company polos.

    I bought a bow and arrow set a few weeks back after watching my kid have so much fun with it at camp. I’m pretty good from 15-20 yards (e.g. I can regularly hit closer to the center of the target), but anything longer is a struggle. I don’t think I’m ready for Alone yet.

    What’s the point in paying $500/month for health insurance when I regularly get billed $250 for shit anyways?

    Kid breaks a bone? Thanks for having insurance. Here are some bills (with little explanation) for $600.

    It’s fucking obnoxious.

    If it's a hospital bill, request an itemized bill. Often your price will go down because then they know they can't get away with charging you $20+ for one dose of Tylenol. Or so I've been told.

    It’s all a scam. They charge $1000 for $200 worth of services, charge you $250, discount the insurance portion to $25 and call it a profitable day for both.

    I get that healthy people largely prop up the unhealthy wrt insurance but we pay like $600/month through work for a family of 4 and it pays for absolutely nothing. We have to have spent $20k or so out of pocket over the last decade or so outside of the monthly premiums which I guess are in the neighborhood of $60k (during that time period) just never reaching the deductible.

    Insurance in this country is absurd

    A few years ago I spent more than a week in the hospital
    Bill was over $100k per night
    After my deductible, Insurance paid the hospital like $8000 for the entire bill and apparently the hospital doesn't go bankrupt
    Basically they billed over $800,000, got paid about $11,000 and somehow are able to keep the doors open

    I went to the ER one year when I had a bad case of flu and my GERD decided it was a good time to go into beast mode. My chest was hurting so bad that I thought I was having a cardiac event and I nearly passed out. They took me to a room, but not admitted, for like an hour, did a chest x-ray, gave me something called a GI cocktail, and an 8 oz. Gatorade bottle then sent me on my way. My bill was well over $2K before insurance if I remember correctly. They probably billed like $50 for the Gatorade.

    I bet you’re the person in a grief group who, after listening to someone talk about their 4 year old dying two months ago, talks about how they can’t get over their grandpa dying 5 years ago.

    30% realization on billing keeps an ASC very profitable. I'm guessing hospitals that manage 20% do fine. It's a broken system.

    Between his work on formative years film soundtracks, incredible catalogue in general, and “DJ’ing” GTA V’s Los Santos Rock Radio, I have to ask: is Kenny Loggins the most underrated national treasure of our time?

    Mine has been hospital->rehab facility->nursing facility the last three weeks. In 17 days it’s going to start costing us $189 a day.

    Every once in a while I need to work on a client site that is mostly isolated. I can VPN in but lose access to everything but that network. It’s refreshing because I can just work and not have anyone bothering me. I was all excited to work on one of those today.

    This client now allows some connections so I can hit teams and email.

    Whatever jackass requested that can get strung up by their sack.
