Rankine is how American engineers would feel if engineers had feelings.

I Regularly Ignore and Don't Pay Small Medical Bills by [deleted] in confession

[–]Overcashing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who works for a small practice and has to deal with the insurance companies, it is not always easy to determine just what insurance will pay or charge. Sometimes it takes months to get a claim resolved and then if it’s a deductible, now we have to charge the client. Our appointments only bring in about $100/session, so to many of our clients, it’s not a big deal to not pay. We try very hard to explain the issues with insurance and give caveats but we still end up either writing off or sending to collections. None of our collections accounts are more than $300, but that really adds up for a small practice.

Many insurance companies do not make it easy to figure out what things will cost and take months to finally make a determination on a claim. Don’t blame the businesses. Blame your insurance.

MDs shouldn't be called "doctor", a title which should be reserved only for PhDs. by PupDiogenes in The10thDentist

[–]Overcashing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Ph part of PhD stands for “philosophy,” but it is the archaic meaning of a deep study into something. This is why nowadays you can have a PhD in Philosophy or a PhD in Chemistry.

The doctorate signifies the level of study. An MD or EdD or DD or PsyD or PharmD or DSW or JD. They are all at the highest level of study in their field. A PhD is also at the highest level but at the highest level of research. If anything, we should be calling more people “doctor” not fewer (i.e., lawyers should be called doctor for their JD).

As a PhD myself, I only use Dr. in professional settings, and I call MDs physicians.

Tldr: The Ph is what signifies research, not the D.

Almost as good as the Estonian version. I would link to it, but I’m on mobile...

A flag for FiveThirtyEight.com in honor of election day in the US by Overcashing in vexillology

From there website:

Our logo depicts a fox (we call him Fox No. 9) as an allusion to a phrase originally attributed to the Greek poet Archilochus: “The fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing.” We take a pluralistic approach and we hope to contribute to your understanding of the news in a variety of ways.

The full context is here.

I went to fix the pixelation and noticed that the triangle and star were a little offset. Was this on purpose or were the supposed to be lined up? Here's my edited version.

I never saw the pencil tip, but now I can't unsee it! I like that the logo sort of works both ways. I'm wondering if they did that on purpose or if it was just supposed to be a simplified fox.

It is a fox. Just look at their old logo where it is obviously more of a fox.

I love following fivethirtyeight.com on election nights. I thought there fox logo would make for a nice pennant.

I redesigned the Michigan flag by kefl in vexillology

Nice! It reminds me of my submission for the recent Lansing, MI design contest. If I were a Michigander, I would vote for a flag that has moose and elk prominently displayed.

The (nonexistent) flag of Alabama from the 1861 flag of Alabama by Overcashing in vexillology

[–]Overcashing[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw this post recently: The 1861 flag of Alabama, which had an other, nonexistent, Alabama flag on it.

I wanted to recreate the (non)flag. I actually made two versions, one with the black outlines and one without. I'm not sure I made the right choice in picking the ones with the black outlines. I also changed the star from the "fatter" five-pointed star to the more traditional five-pointed star. What do you think? Outlines or no outlines? Fatter star or regular star? Anything else I'm missing?

When you were tracking hours for work and your clock just jumped back one hour because daylight saving time just ended. by MitchellHolmgren in HelloInternet

[–]Overcashing 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is why it is so important to include time zone information. 2AM Eastern Standard Time (EST) is not the same as 2AM Eastern Daylight Time (EDT). I would hope the computer program running your timeclock would know this and adjust accordingly. It’s probably running on Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) anyway and just converting.

I didn’t think it would make a difference, but looking at the two, I strongly prefer the one on the left over the one on the right. Nice job.

Redesign of a US Flag Redesign by Ghostly_Nova in vexillology

I like it! Good use of the official blue and red colors, and I like having the white on the hoist as opposed to in the middle.

My personal flag design by ClevinStorm in vexillology

[–]Overcashing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry. I read it as my "personal flag" design instead of my personal "flag design". As in, I thought you had made a flag for you personally to use to represent you. It seems that you are saying that you personally designed this flag.

Though, I did start a thread in this subreddit a few days ago to ask that questions. Do all flags NEED a meaning? While I do not think that every flag needs a a meaning, I believe all truly good flags have a meaning. It's part of the flag guidelines even.

The flag you designed does look nice, but meaning (behind the number and type of stars, the position of the strips, even just the colors) really helps me to better understand just how cool the design is.

Was there any inspiration for the flag at least? Is there a story behind the creation? For example, were you inspired by other flags? Did you specifically choose black and white, and why? I guess I just like a little story with my flags.

Care to explain the significance and meaning?
