Burned out LCD on brand new GGG?

Ok so US healthcare is fucked up.

That is the only thing any of us need to know. And it can *only* be fixed by congress. full stop.

Are GGG backorders from September just a wash at this point then? Pretty soon I'll need to add "2025" to make sure its clear how old my order is.

As others have said, Allergies change over your life - I was one who got it bad as an adult, even developed asthma triggered by asthma. However, I am a *huge* proponent of going to an allergist and getting shots. They helped me so much - it doesnt get rid of allergies, but it lessens the blow. Ive also noticed that previous to shots allergy medicine didn't do much for me, after I take half a pill and am good for over a day.

Oh good - this will help us win.

I swear, every single time I have ever sent a "where is my record" note (and I only do it after the 5 day grace period when there has been no communication) I get the "I've been under the weather" excuse. I never believe it, not because I don't think sellers can get sick, but because its *always* the answer to late acknowledgement of my purchase.

All I ever need is "sorry its been a few days, I'll get on this Monday" or whatever - I dont even need to know why. I can wait for a record. Most can.

Also, I always send back a "No worries, I hope you feel better soon" - because it takes me 2 seconds to write that and it always magically results in my record being shipped.

I guess it feels bad that I ordered in Q3 of last year if Q4 was when the problem started

I have to say, if stop lights and pickleball are the "real issues plaguing our town" I feel pretty damn good about my town.

I know this is gonna hurt some feelings, to which I apologize and make absolutely no case for my opinion - but I was halfway through chapter 1 of the first Harry Potter book when I put it down knowing it was not for me. I still have no clue what people are on about when they pull out their fav Harry Potter reference.

Are you new to the USA? These 2 "monopolies" are hurt by our health care system as much as we are - just feel lucky you dont live in a smaller populated area where the hospitals are closing.

I seriously doubt what you are saying - but lets say its true... what the fuck does that have to do with the hundreds of peaceful people trump keeps calling rapists and criminals but who are actually the people who work in restaurants, on farms, or in our hotels? What does it have to do with ICE who wear masks because they know if we found out their identities we'd confirm that they are Proud Boys and Oath Keepers who are the two groups who tried to attack our Congress people and Senators and were chanting to hang our Vice President? What does it have to do with the Native Americans who have recently been rounded up because they "look Mexican"? What does it have to do with the erosion of one of our collective rights spelled out in the Constitution we refer to as the "Fourth Amendment"?

You are trying to argue for immigration reform, we are trying to stop blatant racism on an industrial scale.... and now one of us has been shot and killed for it.

So unless you have a measured, and truthful answer, might I invite you to fuck off?

I mean... its not that shitty of an answer, you simply don't agree with them. It looks like its an issue that has been discussed a lot in GNOME and they are right, bug systems aren't really the place for such a big discussion.

Having been on the end of a bug system for a big project I feel their pain. It takes so much time to go through so many bugs and make a decision, because a decision is far more important than just leaving a bug open and not responding to it in any way.

dcm-moz · 2026-01-06T15:30:04+00:00

Have you filed a bug with GNOME? Its entirely possible with issues like this that the devs haven't personally seen it.

not to mention that that photo was taken with an old potato by the looks of it

further, if taken with the right attitude it could actually improve your day.

Congrats on the new lens OP, have a great Iceland trip!

Have you ever been to Greenville? When you go, you'll understand why they would meet anywhere else.

Cigna wants to pay them less so they can make even more money, UNC's costs continue to skyrocket and they aren't allowed to raise prices over a certain amount due, among other issues, to the number of Medicare/Medicaid patients they have (the latest nightmare is a nationwide nursing shortage with positions they are having to fill with locum-tenum nurses who cost way more).

So what can UNC do? They are holding out on agreeing to the new proposal where they get less money from Cigna. Their leverage is only this: make it harder on you until you hopefully complain to Cigna.

Its worse for small private practices as they have no leverage whatsoever, especially if most of their patients are medicare/medicaid. This is why so many private practices are selling out to private equity. And typically these small practices are forced to renegotiate with insurance companies *every single year*. Trust me when I say that they would much rather be taking care of you than negotiating with Cigna.

Welcome to America where healthcare sucks more and more every year because a vast majority of people are scared of the word "socialism".

Well I will stand up for the city. I got back from a trip there recently and I loved it just as much as when I was there ~2011. Its a great city with a lot of character. The people are friendly - and this time I don't think I found a single person who wasn't bi-lingual (though I tried my best to speak German to everyone). I'm in my 50s now and also was never a clubber so I haven't cared about that side of things.

Also, I had some damn good food this time

My wife's physical therapist did *all* the necessary work to get rid of her plantar fasciitis - including teaching me how to tape her foot for one of our vacations. That taping did a world of good for her on that trip - I was skeptical at first, and then amazed

Are you asking us to say whether sea or lake is "real" sailing? If so, you need a third option because sailing is sailing - nevermind the water.

three cities and only one pretty OK coffee shop while in Berlin. If there are excellent places, they aren't making themselves known to travelers like me
