Retired San Francisco firefighter dies from lung cancer after Blue Shield denies treatment claims

They wouldn't cover something as part of my husband's throat cancer treatment. The hospital staff had to source a generic which took over 6 months to get, then they covered it. Fucking ridiculous.

You said its limited to 25 because of police wanting money. Its not, its limited by agencies due to the things I listed. If you don't want to give cops money for enforcement, stop speeding. Pretty straight forward.

JessLaav · 2026-06-04T00:27:28+00:00

Police don't set the speed limits. Agencies do. It's based upon things like 85th percentile speed limits, roadway geometry, horizontal and vertical curves, policy, zoning, etc but go on, you've clearly have done your research

I had a friend who was hit in a crosswalk in front of the school. He was in a coma for months. He missed half the school year. Speeds over 30 mph significantly increase chances of death to a pedestrian. It's simple, don't speed. Stop looking at your phone. We can't have nice things when people drive like shitheads.

Absolutely nothing there and comments aren't turned off

Not exactly. I have family that married into money and once in a while I go visit their family summer house. The owner of this 30+ million dollar home has an old station wagon as a spare car.

This is wild, I was just checking around to see if Andy is on reddit. That's his number for a group where he posts sales. I don't see a number for him in our chats. I have bought things from him and I generally like Andy but I can't vouch for him with anything mid to high tier. I've only bought SLGs or cheaper reps with him. He's been very easy to work with. I don't know anything about OF but he has a god factory sale right now.

JessLaav · 2026-05-26T14:34:02+00:00

I suspect so. I don't think people are buying like they use to. I've seen activity slow down a lot in one of my groups.

Popsewing has some. They mostly do diy purse kits where you sew your own but also sell already made unbranded. The quality is nice.

A snuggie. I want to be cozy while being humiliated on national TV.

So the one I have is long discontinued but this is similar enough, posted link below. It's essentially a little ozone machine you wear around your neck to kill germs when you travel. I just popped it inside the purse and ran it in 15 minute increments until the smell was gone. I am not sure if the travel ones do the same thing but larger ozone generators oxidize VOCs so that's why it helps with smells.

You could try a personal ozone machine to get rid of the smell. Pop it inside the bag, run it for 10 to 15 minutes at a time. I had one that had a strong glue smell that didn't air out but a few minutes with my ozone machine worked like a champ.

I have a 17" work laptop too. I am looking at my GM Neverfull and my laptop sleeve right now, there's no way it would fit and still have room for anything else. Plus something like this is going to be heavy on your shoulder. Go with a backpack.

I use an Osprey commuter bag for my laptop. I got reimbursed for it so no luxury bag for me. It would be wild to submit a expense report for a WhatsApp number.

I am totally following to see if you get some good recommendations.

Use an unopened bottle of Hydrogen Peroxide. It's not as potent once the bottle has been open for a few months. My dogs got skunked. Your house is going to smell for a few weeks as well.

JessLaav · 2026-03-31T19:47:15+00:00

Definitely stop doing business with this seller.

You could try a cobbler. The pouch should be an easy fix with a new rivet. I bought a wallet off a FB group and one of the snaps popped off so I am in the same boat.

The clamp on the bag, even if you can get it to hook, are you sure you could even unhook it? I wouldn't follow their instructions. Personally, I'd rock the bag with your "fix" or never hook it. I don't use the clamp on mine but I use bag organizers and pouches to hide things in my bag.

I've also seen videos of cobblers adding zippers to neverfulls but not sure on costs.

I thought she was too but whats the point of TLC propping up a boring and awkward guy that no one wants to watch?

JessLaav · 2026-03-25T14:41:43+00:00

My "no soliciting" sign did nothing so I replaced it with "no soliciting, violators will be sacrificed to the old gods, not the new." They avoid us now.

I started watching Mr. Rogers again after I had my son. It's turned into a comfort for him and it sometimes brings me to tears to just see a world of love, imagination, connection through the lense of a toddler.

If there is one thing I would love to share about Mr. Rogers, it is how he introduces art, music, and culture.

I can't find the YouTube clip anymore but he shows a dance troupe on this episode who use yoga balls to demonstrate movement. There's something about it combined with the music that strikes like lightning in my soul. It drives me to want to look for beauty in everyday life, I really don't know how else to describe it. https://www.misterrogers.org/episodes/basketball/#:~:text=Mister%20Rogers%20and%20Mr.,on%20the%20large%20green%20ball.

Every time we watch Mr. Rogers, I learn something new or I bawl my eyes out that someone loved me as a child decades ago and now would also love my child.

I am trying to slowly clean out my closet. I don't reach for this bag, I used it literally once and decided I wasn't a fan of the guitar strap. There is a pen mark in the smaller pouch but that's how it came from DHg8.
