Not sure how that’s relevant, can you explain a bit more about what you’re thinking? They couldn’t have been diagnosed with a need for the medication at early-stage pregnancy.

Currently? “Sit! Lay down! Okay c’mon boy”

I was making my dog behave before giving him his breakfast.

Important facts for people that didn’t bother to read the article: it’s $2.1m each, so total is $4.2m. The coverage of the drug was cut on a schedule that was determined in January. The diagnosis of the disease was 5 days after the cut.

The cost isn’t an issue in my mind, but I think good to know how much the parents are in for. Insurance companies exist because of these costs, they should have to cover any treatment that has significantly higher success rates, especially when the lack of coverage will result in death, or other life-long consequences.

The timing and schedule are important as the headline makes it appear this decision was in response to these kids being born with the condition, when in fact, there was no diagnosis at the time of the cut and these kids were still months away from being born when the decision was made.

Final bit, though this wasn’t in the article, the drug is being covered for these kids. It took pressure from the state government apparently, or maybe just all the bad press. Shouldn’t change anyone’s opinion on POS insurers, but it’s at least good news that these kids aren’t condemned to a death sentence.

That’s just a distraction. The real question is why are there so many articles about heat pumps?

I totally got a shotgun for Christmas one year, I think at 13 or 14. This pic is dead on in my experience.

Read the article, it’s pretty clear who the author targets as the villain here. I haven’t verified the accuracy of it, but taking them at their word: management and the GOP that let requirements of who is guaranteed OT pay dwindle. This restores what Obama did that was then dismantled by right wing judges and Trump.

I think it has the potential of being a stepping stone, in first restoring who gets OT, to later push hours reduction before OT kicks in.

Genius scan is free and pretty good.

Googling just gives pages and pages of SEO crap and scams. Any actual decent site to look up a number on?

It’s shown in school that kids who get phones and tablets before 5 have a hard time using computers with a keyboard and mouse interface.

Having a dumb phone is a current consideration. We have a smart phone on a separate carrier that we loan to a kid on an as needed basis like sleep overs so they can contact us in an emergency.

I’ve told the kids I’ll buy them a smart phone when they can afford the monthly service. It’s not that I can’t, it’s that they will need to learn how to manage money, and having to pay for my pager in the 90s was a good start for me. Not getting it sooner means it won’t feel like a punishment when they start.

WTF happened to Microsoft? What a fall. Is this a leadership thing?

I love how this comment covers super common misconceptions, but then throws a super specific database issue in at the end. Gotta have that cascade on delete, unless you want orphans.

If they changed office space so that they were working on the 2038 issue instead of the Y2K issue, and gave them smartphones, it would strike all the right chords today that it did when it came out.

It’s already got 100k more signatures than it needed to make the ballot. It will be voted on in November. Should probably still sign if you haven’t already in case the GOP shitheads start trying to challenge the signatures. Though that’s a lot of signatures they’d need to invalidate.

As of April 2nd it has about 100k more signatures than it needed to make the ballot.

That fact doesn’t do you much good if you have a carry-on. And most everyone is trying to get by with a carry-on and a personal bag to avoid checked bag fees.

This is a great explanation of why I feel dirty just driving somewhere over the course of 8-10 hours. Sure I’m not getting dirty, but I’m not passively exfoliating either.

Lex Luther is evil, but he doesn’t go around stealing candy from babies and punching grandmas. In fact he takes a lot of actions that people would think are good and altruistic. His motivations are what makes him evil. And when push comes to shove he would show how little he actually cares for all those babies and grandmas. This seems to allude many story tellers in many mediums. Infamous was a great game on the “good” story line, and terrible on the evil because you had to punch grandma with no real reason in order to stay evil. Bio shock was a bit better as you had motivation to kill those little girls to gain more power faster.

Writers and storytellers need to think more motivation than actions when it comes to being evil.

One project I worked on had 10 different languages. That was rough. But even your basic full stack web application is usually 5 languages: SQL, a backend language, HTML, CSS and JS. Usually some wheel reinventing frameworks thrown in for good measure. 5 languages is light these days.

What if they don’t have a web server that can connect to their mainframe, and you’re waiting on a DMV employee to become available to actually handle your requests?
