Cassette Beasts. I tried Brotato its okay but I'm not as much of a fan.

I'm sort of happy for any local book stores!! The more the better but yes smaller ones preferred! They have their own unique personalities!

I think its like $10k for in or out of the US and items of value

TUL pens. Super durable as I click my pens from anxiety and I havent had one break on me. Write very smoothly too

I agree with the speech thing and apologize. There are just same people that are very flamboyant where I live because they are proud and should be.

As I have said before, I dont think I would be able to tell. Theres nothing to do to blend in if you're just yourself 🤷‍♀️

I was going to say how would I be able to tell your sexual orientation?? Just act normal. Its only a bit more obvious when someone has a more flamboyant affliction to their speech or dress with a clear label on their clothes that they are LGBT+

HIPAA will still and should get him terminated. It was not an accidental HIPAA violation for sure and HIPAA is one of strongest privacy laws. Healthcare gets slapped with fines all the time. They do not get ignored and most healthcare agencies have harsh policies around it. Ive known some incidents of fines, corrective actions, and terminations

Our friend had his phone opened on IG. A random picture of an Asian girl with literal "airbag" boobs popped up, rather naked. Those boobs were so artificially inflated though that it reminds me of an AI image.

We now clown him constantly

I wonder if you can put a headphone in. Have your phone live translate to at least follow conversation? And maybe have your SO translate your responses?

TIL DJI is a Chinese company.

No cut off. AI may have some books out there but not all. There will always be authors out there like Martha Wells, Sanderson, john Scalzi and even new debut authors all the time trying to write. Agree with other poster, you're only going to miss out by limiting yourself

I think it depends on where you live but mine is ATT Prepaid. I pay $300 a year for 16gb, though I only use <5GB month. I have tried:

• RedPocket (Verizon) - Depolarized too much for data
• Google Fi - Might be better now but when it switched from a Sprint and TMobile tower it used to drop the call... I havent tried it in many years
• Verizon - My favorite but I wanted to stop paying so much $$$ Mint - Cheapest plan I had because of sale ($7/month for 6 months). But TMobile service for me where I am isn't great so wasn't worth.
• Cricket - Loved it but just a little more expensive than ATT Prepaid

Mine is similar. Just a day with my husband and dog and I will be happy.

I just finished Only Murders in the Building. I love it. Its a whodunit with Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez. The whole cast always feels to me like they're always having a lot of fun!

Life in Pieces too!! Def ended too early :(

100% agree. Our healthcare sucks and I won't deny that. It would be so much cheaper and more efficient to have single-payer/universal healthcare. Studies and data consistently show that Americans pay the most and have worse healthcare outcomes (especially comparing mortality rates: overall, maternal, infant, etc). People are paying into it with high premiums and still having copays, out of pocket costs, etc. Single payer is the way to go for sure.

My job still exists in other countries like Australia, Japan, etc. But yes they dont have to worry about the healthcare services patients get being paid for or covered as much.

Very good point. I was fortunate enough to take a finance class in high school and be very vigilant, so theres some privledge there.

I think its been said like 1/3 people aren't financially literate both in US and globally in general.

Wow! I didn't know so many people liked the chocolate oranges! I can't say ive seen a lot of people eating them.

I know in the 10 years ive worked in a hospital ive never had a patient denied care in ICU unless the reason listed above. I also know A LOT about insurance, much more than most healthcare professionals. I also connect my doctors to insurance when we do need to appeal decisions and ask for a peer to peer.

Im not saying insurance never denies care. They do. Anecdotally though, never had incorrect denial with ICU. Its too easy to prove insurance definition of "medical necessity' there. I am still very doubtful of this specific example. Downvote all you want but the scanario I gave above is almost 100% probably what happened. I'm just explaining the process and likely what happened. Its okay if I'm not believed. I know what's true and how healthcare works. Its bittersweet that I have my job because I know how to navigate the healthcare system and get my patients what they need for their healthcare goals.

Edit: Also, with the scanario above, almost 100% of ICU professionals would agree with insurance for the reasons listed above. We know how it feels to want to bring someone up from the ED but can't because we have beds already full... There are a very few select patients occasionally that want to live in the hospital. I'm aware we are encountering some people at their most vulnerable, traumatic times. It sucks. But they can't live there.

The only other reason I can think for denial is if treatment is experimental. Otherwise, its really easy to appeal and get the care approved in ICU.
