Just in case anyone else ever has this happen- anesthesiologists are never in network. Your insurance *should* pay them the medicare rate, and if you call the hospital, they *should* accept that rate and waive the rest of the bill. That’s what’s supposed to happen, but you have to know to call the insurance and the…

I would be weird about sharing chapstick with my own sibling, tbh. 

Thank you for this! I had the same thought. Votes had already been cast, Barrett was confirmed during the election, not before. 

I knit, and while I agree that initial start-up costs of taking up knitting or crochet is pretty cheap, it becomes an expensive hobby quickly if you spend much time doing it and you want to learn new techniques. There are a lot of different needle sizes to acquire, and somehow it’s impossible to actually use much…

Okay, but where is the update? This one needs an update, because it only got better after this. 

I wonder if the weather is what caused the staffing problems, and how that factors into their cancellation policy. Like, the crew got stuck at the wrong airport due to the weather, which caused a staffing problem the next day. Does that count as a weather cancellation, or an airline problem one? 

In my experience pro-life people tend to be anti-IVF, so this doesn’t surprise me. IVF involves discarding embryos, selective reduction, and a general meddling with “God’s plans”. It’s not calling anyone out on hypocrisy that they don’t support IVF. There are certainly outliers, and plenty who are fine with IVF if…

Oh I don’t think they have a legit case, but the point is that they don’t care, they’ll enact the law anyways and spend millions of taxpayer dollars defending it. If we’re lucky, it won’t be enforced during the lawsuits. 

Yeah but the texas playbook seems to be to do it anyways because they’ll get sued and take it to SCOTUS. 

First of all, you should keep in mind that it’s not really that much cheaper to use a space heater than to just turn up the thermostat.

20 is old enough to call out of work when you’re sick or take a rapid test before you go to work.

I keep a tile tracker on my work keys/badge, and another on my bluetooth headphone case. I only ever lose my headphones when they’re in the case, and they don’t connect to my phone when they’re in the case, so my phone won’t find them. There’s a ton of uses for them. 

But Tile does do that.

She’s 20. 

What makes airtags different from tile trackers? How are airtags specifically being used in a way that the competitors aren’t?

My complaint is the same every year- music I play for my kiddo ruins everything.

I wish there was a way to set certain music to not count for any recommendations. My kid ruins all my recommendations and my spotify wrapped every year.

This is the first piece of media that I’ve seen that has mentioned Naomi Biden’s husband’s name. It is hilarious to me that the reporter got so mad over not being invited to a wedding of a woman that lots of people had never heard of until now. (It’s me, I’m lots of people.) I hope they had a great wedding and get to…

I saw someone on twitter say that ticketmaster was planning to send out 1.5 million codes but 14 million people were trying to get tickets. No source, but that kind of decimal error in sending out codes would for sure cause the problems we saw tuesday.

Ticketmaster gave out the presale codes! They should have known how many people were gonna sign in!
