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. 

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.

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.

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

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 dunno, this is a new century, I’d love to see Swift go after Ticketmaster. When Pearl Jam fought them people were still standing in physical lines for tickets. A lot has changed in 27 years. Besides, what’s ticketmaster gonna do? Refuse to sell tickets to her shows? That’s a great financial decision that will 100%…

I begged my boss at my last job to let me stay on DST and she would not. Who can just change their own hours like that? 

But right now in the winter the kids have to walk home in the dark. I don’t understand why morning dark is objectively worse than evening dark. Middle school gets out at 4 pm, and any highschooler in any extracurricular leaves at 5. And right now, highschoolers still go to school in the dark in the winter.

It’s darker…

I feel like “wrong” would have gotten the point across. No matter what the number is when you have an eating disorder at any size, it’s wrong somehow. 

“who can gain something like 50lbs and just breach into a more normal body type... aren’t exactly the type of people that need to showcase scale watching eat disorders.”

Most daycares close at 6:30. How is a 12-14 hour day supposed to make childcare easier? That would be a nightmare trying to figure out. Plus at my kid’s daycare, they only accept so many “part time” kids- because of teacher ratios. Also, part time daycare costs more per day. They don’t just give you a 2/5ths discount.

I’m solidly a millennial and fairly online and I’ve never heard of any of these people until today. I’m familiar enough with Buzzfeed, but didn’t know about this spinoff.
