I appreciate having your first hand insight and appreciate the convo

As a Canadian it’s insane to me to have a bill at all after going through some sort of health ordeal the last thing you need is a big scary bill with something to do.

if I honestly can’t pay my share. I can walk into the billing office at the clinic /hospital and explain I honestly can’t afford my share. The hospital will bill the insurance what they can, then look for extra funding. Most hospitals have a charity fund. It is based on my income. If I am broke and make crap wages, my share might be reduced to 0 usd.

So the ask here is for someone who already need to work every waking moment, and then just lost a bunch of hours being hurt/sick, to then spend their time explaining multiple times to the billing dept that they cant afford it (this is degrading) and then their bill MIGHT be reduced but it also MIGHT go to collections and which further goes to damage the individual by hurting their credit. just seems like a burden on the poor.

But yeah i mean its a difference in systems. I think about how canada builds it into taxes - everyone pays in at a rate consistent with their income levels and benefits similarly - but the US way is donations. And I hope that works too. It seems to work from what i’ve seen so far. but it seems like a round about way to get it done.

1. The intense income disparity.

2. Healthcare bills.

I suppose these are cliche topics but as a non-american non-tourist the first thing that has stood out to me is that the highs are so incredibly high, and the lows are so incredibly low. Being a Canadian, it’s not like we don’t also have income disparity…but the gap is not as insane. The rich in the US have yachts that are 100’s of millions of dollars, and the poor literally carry their kids on their backs while selling fruit on the side of the highway. You can see both in the same day.

Also I don’t think Americans truly understand that you can get weeks of hospital care in Canada and not even receive a bill. Like a month in a private hospital room and i paid for a phone bill, a wifi bill, and some parking fees. In the US if you even so much as flash your eyelashes at a doctor you get a bill for hundreds of dollars.

Is rtx HDR not a driver feature? and they’re simply putting the toggle switch in the app instead of the control panel like they have for everything else? I doubt that the functionality is actually embedded in this app.

Or use neither? There’s no real advantage to having this bloatware. Just use the driver and nvcleaninstall for the updates

The “internet never forgets” was always bullshit. Just a catch phrase from ppl who don’t understand how it works. It costs money to keep a server serving. Maintenance, support, upgrades, electricity, internet, etc.

Things are removed or lost on the internet all the time. The things you want to go away linger and the things you want to keep are fleeting. You don’t get to choose unless you’re paying. And those that are paying aren’t keeping what you want them to.

Reddit is already dead, the corporate AI shell is all that remains amongst some folk who dont realize everyone is a bot or an idiot.

/r/android used to be one of the hottest subs - it’s literally just posts from the same 2 OPs linking to their professional news articles.

Ubisoft board doesn’t understand how cutting costs and making the worst product possible filled with micro-transactions is bad for business. Utter shock.

I personally think guides under rate how much sun they need and can tolerate. Try your brightest window that receives only direct sun in the early morning or late evening.

Oh and fertilizer. Just a Little does a lot. Sometimes repotting helps cuz it has a round of nutrients baked in but after the first month or so you should fertilize

If that baby has dry soil for more then one day it’ll let you know. It’ll also let you know if it doesn’t have dry roots for exactly a day. They’re so temperamental. I water mine literally the day after I go “that’s dry” and it never fails.

It really just proves the point though. Hardware at time of production is a major security risk and any side needs to be aware and protect themselves.

That’s a good way to lose a lawsuit, end up giving all the money back plus interest and punitive amts, potential damages, etc. Smort.

Rockstar doesn’t officially support Linux though… So it’s on valve that they certified it for steam deck. There’s no grounds for charging that back to r*

Yeah it had something to do with it in that it was used as an excuse to invade iraq - not in that iraq had any legitimate ties to 9/11.

Attorney General Alberto Gonzales endorsed Vice President Harris Thursday, citing in part the Supreme Court’s immunity decision in calling former President Trump “perhaps the most serious threat to the rule of law in a generation.”

You mean since…YOU?..Alberto?
