    • RE: Dealer: Please come back and pay us another $7k.

      @just-jeepin said in Dealer: Please come back and pay us another $7k.:

      So, maybe when you want to spend a great deal of money and be taken seriously, don’t dress like a putz?

      Have you been to the SF Bay Area? There are lots of young people with large amounts of money who only dress in often scruffy casual clothes. Dealers are stupid if they let the way people dress affect the way they treat people.

    • It's been 12 years since Fukushima.

      I was in Tokyo when it happened. The length of the quake and the aftershocks was just amazing. They told me that the building we were in wasn't particularly earthquake-proof. It was strange to see the busiest train station in Tokyo with no movement of trains.

      I have lived in CA for over 20 years and the biggest earthquakes that I have felt have been in other countries.

    • Christmas lights. Shamelessly stolen from Reddit

      "For those of you who are placing Christmas lights / decorations in your garden, can you please avoid anything that has Red or Blue flashing lights together?

      Every time I come around the corner, I think it's the police and I have a panic attack. I have to brake hard, toss my wine out the window, hide the weed, fasten my seat belt, throw my phone on the floor, turn my radio down, and push the gun under the seat, all while trying to drive. It's just too much drama, even for Christmas. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding."

      The version I originally saw used margarita instead of weed.

    • Chip shortage theory

      My apologies if this has already been suggested.

      There is a chip shortage because all the capacity is being used to make chips to go in the vaccines!

      I have only ever seen these at car shows, never in a supermarket car park:

      It's important to recognize that this won't stop abortions: it will stop safe abortions.

    • I am officially old now. The government may pay if I go to hospital.

      My Medicare card arrived in the mail today.

      I still have my employment-based insurance, but it has a high deductible, so I only signed up for Part A.

      You can put in after-tax contributions also, and your tax filing will be adjusted for this, making the contributions pre-tax.

      You can also use HSAs as retirement accounts.

      So I hope you are going to cycle the money you owe the hospital through the HSA. Make a contribution and take the money out again immediately.

      @jminer

      Yes, but you are still charging it to 100%. The functionality you describe reduces the amount of time the battery stays at 100%, which is an improvement, but not as good as limiting charging to 90% or less.

      Do you qualify for and have an HSA?

    • RE: Fuck our medical system

      @Mazda616

      With my insurance, we have an out-of-pocket maximum of $5,000 per person, $10,000 family (effectively the same, since there are only two of us on the insurance). We have hit that maximum for one of us several times, and one year, we hit the family OOP maximum. My company puts $3,000/year in my HSA, so the real out of pocket maximum is $7,000.

      I have a choice of plans and I choose this one. If only one of us has significant medical bills, it's definitely cheaper overall, because the other plans have significantly higher monthly costs and don't include the $3,000 HSA contribution.

      @Svend said in Fuck our medical system:

      Yes, I pay for prescriptions, but we even have plans to help pay for it and reduce the cost but depending on your condition will be free.

      Even without one of the specific illnesses or age that qualifies you for free prescriptions, if you live in England, you can get a prepaid prescription card that covers all your prescriptions for 108 pounds per year.

      Get a "Chargie" to use with your next phone so that the battery doesn't degrade as fast.

      Wow. My 4a with 5G (that's what it is actually called) is still working well. The battery may have lost some capacity, but not much. I have been careful to almost never charge it to 100%.

      And LOL, the manufacturer's advice is "have you tried seeing if you can go without?"

      Wow! You would think they would want to sell more of the stuff.
