Things got weird when we went digital.

  1. It's perfectly okay, reasonable, legal to record a tape off the radio. Yet it's illegal to download a better copy?

LPT: If your doctor firmly believes that you require X treatment/medication/etc. Have them use the specific term "medically necessary". If your insurer kicks it back with that phrasing attached, contact them. Ask for the medical license number of the doctor who indicated that it was not medically necessary. Push for this information (they won't have it) and continue the line of "Someone on your end is making a medical decision against my doctors orders. I require their credentials so I can confirm they are a) qualified to make medical decisions, and b) have a higher education that my doctor possesses."

It's clear that Ukraine is of "National Security Interests". So I vote we just take a lil bit of the budget allocated for military spending and use it where it would be best served.

I speak from experience. Blue Cross has not argued or denied any of our doctors' requests since the second time I used that method.
Had a specialist tell my wife she needed a shoulder replacement. Insurance wanted her to do physical therapy. I was livid. "I want the license number of the doctor on your end who is deciding that physical therapy is going to some how magically fix torn rotator cuff tendons. Telling our medical specialist that physical therapy is required is a medical decision that contradicts their diagnosis that it needs replaced. If we follow your recommendation and it fails, I need the name and license number of who to go after for making that decision. Shielding this professional, and I use that term loosely, indicates that you're willing to assume all the liability when "physical therapy" causes more pain and damage."

Totally clickbait. Japan has a lot of KFC restaurants, but not a lot of people from Kentucky.

Sunday morning, fire up the air fryer and park just outside of McD's. Selling hashbrowns at $1 a pop.

Microtransactions are so hot right now.

So it's the same story from last week. TY for saving me the read.

I can no longer draw a comparison between this and Hunter Biden. This story sounds about right, complain the DOJ isn't prosecuting your enemies while strong-arming them into not prosecuting your allies. The Hunter Biden story has now become a Revenge Porn story where a Republican Committee is persecuting a private citizen.

Easy. Email everyone in the company how much she makes.
Start an email chain about wages.
Open the handbook and start using/abusing the loopholes while pointing them out.

And most importantly; do as little as possible while maintaining the job requirements as laid out in the listing.

2 were accidents, so 31 were.... Acts of God?

I'll see myself out.

My biggest fear is to be an immortal brain a jar, forced to run DOOM as a proof of concept.

I buy 10-12 pairs of the same sock. They all go in the same drawer, unmatched. Socks do not have a left/right, so if one gets a hole or what not, it becomes a rag and I don't even notice its gone.

I agree with China on this one. Stop posting pictures. Instead upload actual documentation/manuals to Discord to get War Thunder devs to fix the stats.

Controversial take: Pay people what they're worth so only 1 adult in the house needs to work 1 job for 40 hours to provide for the family. This will free up that parent (in a single parent household) or free up 1 parent (in a dual parent household); to help with schooling.

You left out the part where we gave them a few billion to expand into rural areas. Instead of doing that, they pocketed the money and claimed it was "too hard".

Let's get crazier.

Our current favorite show is Bob's Burgers, it's a comfort show we fall asleep to. Prior to signing up with real debrid I got tagged for downloading a 2 year old episode.

We pay for Hulu. We pay for YoutubeTV. We have a working OTA antenna (for when the internet goes out).
My math says I have 3 licenses, yet still illegal to download?

I thought the idea was to "get severance". Which would be "it's cheaper to pay severance than permit them to continue disturbing the workplace. Sounds like you're trying to advocate doing something illegal.

The subpoena was issued prior to the inquiry being "official". So this non-official committee issued a non-official subpoena, but now that they're an official committee they're going to hold him in contempt? Pfft....

Which will be 5-7 business days after he deposits Mexico's check for building the wall.

I've found (here in the US), that almost every bathroom has these little paper tickets in the bathroom stalls. If you chain enough together you can get a pretty decent tissue from it. I think they call it Tissue Paper or TP for short.

Aside from that, as a responsible adult, I keep a collection of various drive-thru napkins in the center console and a roll of "Shop Towels" in the back.

He's mad that she's a better fundraiser than her father. The aides just took the brunt of his self-shame.

Voight-Kampff test maybe?

Imagine someone asked you "If Desk plus Love equals Fruit, why is turtle blue?"
AI will actually TRY to solve it.
Human nature would be to ask if the person asking the question is having a stroke or requires medical attention.

Could be long covid?

Pepperidge Farm remembers when TVs didn't even come with a "stand". It was just a big box with no real "mounting" options.

I can still remember the sound my back made when I picked up my first 32" TV.

I'm not sure your last sentence is entirely accurate. He's white-ish (orange would be more accurate), rich-ish (highly overleveraged), and connected-ish (those that are not in prison are jumping ship).

Willing to concede the white/orange portion, but for a man who allegedly is worth billions he's having trouble scraping together enough money for bond. Those connections wouldn't even step up to post it for him or loan him the money to post.

That just sounds like Amish with more tech.

Its cat aids, its real, and if caught your mittens is not going to have a good time.

Tracert will give you the latency of each hop required to make it to your destination. Not sure why everyone is complicating it.

Streamlining the process. You can now use Github Desktop to transfer your classified documents immediately instead of dealing with those slow Discord uploads and file limits.

Raise your hand if you think it would be okay for Meta to put your kBin/Lemmy content along side THEIR ads for revenue.

What about intersex infants?

Then I'm full of shit and my wife's reverse shoulder joint is a figment of our collective imaginations.

Won't somebody think of the shareholders.

I'm shocked they expect the money to be used for the campaign and not paying off his legal debts.

I firmly believe that this information (but for porn) would increase adoption of the software being advertised.
