    And that is a perfect example of “fuck you money”.

    I hear ya. My insurance is decent, once you meet the deductible, which is $5k if on a family plan. Then there’s the out of pocket max, which is $4k for a family. I get an HSA and the company chips in a bit to that. Interestingly, since my original post, my wife had to go back to the ER by ambulance. My plan restarted…

    I can only imagine based on how many letters my wife gets to confirm the treatment she received isn’t because of something that might be covered by worker’s compensation or how many times they initially deny a scan and require a lesser scan that everybody knows won’t find a damn thing before they approve the actual…

    Yea, I understand that dynamic but it’s self-perpetuating.

    Yes, that’s all true.

    I can only hope. Glad I could help?

    You’re right, I was being slightly hyperbolic to make my point about costs.

    I know, but the only hope is to let insurance pay for it in the hope that you reach your deductible.

    You’re right. I know her actual hourly rate isn’t $2040 but from my perspective, what’s the difference?

    I don’t know if that specific math works out. Insurance paid $472 out of the $680 and wrote off $88. I owe the rest.

    Agreed. The only game where I was very excited about killing Germans was the most recent Wolfenstein game where you spend most of the time killing (fictional) Nazis. Fuck all the Nazis. Killing Nazis in that game was very satisfying.

    If my understanding of OAuth is correct (and I’m a software engineer so it better be), no you don’t. OAuth works by providing an access token that needs to be refreshed. What you could do is go into your Google account and expressly deauthorize Quora’s access so that a new token must be generated the next time you log…

    I think it might have actually been criminal. Go pull your dick out to an unsuspecting person and see how fast you get charged with public indecency (as long as you're not a famous white guy).

    Medical costs are ridiculous. My wife and I have been talking about this a lot. Some examples:

    Jonas is marrying up, not the other way around.

    My next car will be an ICE car because there is insufficient charging. I’m not going to be tethered to my house by a 300 mile leash. When there’s more charging available, I’ll reconsider.

    I work in a small office building and we share a bathroom with maybe 3 other companies.
