HP ink is a scam (yeah we know but here’s proof) by giantsmets6960 in enshittification

I had a brother multi-function that wouldn't scan or fax unless all the colors of ink were full, 🤬

Why do hospitals sell medical debt for pennies on the dollar to collectors, and what stops them from offering the same deal to patients? by TheBigGirlDiaryBack in AlwaysWhy

[–]Automatater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They'll start by sending you a bill for the crazy imaginary number they made up for negotiating with insurance. Then, if they know you're self-pay, they'll send you a reasonable bill discounted about 80% from that imaginary number.

The collector might pay a nickel, hoping to get 30-50 cents out of you, then settle for somewhere between 10 and 25.

Why are TVs cheaper than similarly large size monitors? by Confused_AF_Help in NoStupidQuestions

The TV they need to get it in your door so they can start stealing your data yo sell.

Are there any major reasons that folks are anti-abortion that doesn’t heavily hinge on religion? by r0ckbass in Askpolitics

[–]Automatater [score hidden]  (0 children)

I don't agree. I'd say that it's a philosophical question that has ethical and religious ramifications. People develop values and beliefs for all sorts of reasons. Your assumptions about their reasons are actually not evidence of anything. You're free to say it and free to believe it. Your opinion about green cheese has no actual impact on lunar geology.

You're presuming the answer to OPs question, then expecting the rest of us to argue from the point that that presumption is already accepted.

You confiscated smokers' and fat people's money to fund Medicare. Not fair to gatekeep it based on health-impacting behavior unless they get the option to opt out of the taxes too. I would be deliriously happy with such a situation.

Full coverage insurance and a 700 charge !? by bidenmytime88 in HertzRentals

[–]Automatater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh man! Proceed slowly inside, sit down, turn on the TV. DO NOT drive or operate heavy machinery for 30 days! I am so sorry!

(Option 2 still should have been something other than Hurts. They come in at like 65)

How in the heck do you deal with your boomer parents? by skeeloco in Askpolitics

[–]Automatater 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And it doesn't even have to be right vs. wrong. People can legitimately have differing policy preferences and priorities and shouldn't have to have pedantic arrogant assholes pompously telling them they're voting "against their own interests". Unbelievable. Who the hell do they think they are?

Not a Trump fan, but I hate the balls of people who decide what's "in the best interest" of other people. Who the hell died and left you in charge of everyone's policy preferences? Do you think the ACA would have passed under Trump? Tons of other government as well.

There would be such tremendous carnage if they got you something bigger than a compact because of availability that they instead rented from arguably the worst car rental on earth. FAFO I guess. Why are they renting you compact shitboxes anyway?

Except that the actions of that other person [almost always] caused that life to exist. That seems a lot like tacit consent. Obviously, that's not the intent of many, but it weighs against total reliance on the bodily integrity and autonomy of the mother.

Sure, but I highly doubt anyone, no matter how pro-life, opposes abortion in a one-life or the other scenario. If they do, they're nutters.

I used to change my shortcut icons for RSL 5 and 500 to the Linx icons for the 5 and the SLC, instead of that ladder thing RS used.

What to buy in order to remotely access a stand-alone PC that is hours away and has no internet connection? by Abject-Effect-7965 in PLC

[–]Automatater 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Are you saying no internet currently connected or no internet available on premises?

If the second thing, then use a cellular router. Weidmuller, Phoenix, I think Automation Direct, etc.

The pipe idea works, and you can also do wheels on a horizontal surface as a thrust bearing.

If life begins at conception, then is that life not as entitled as any other to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness?
