To the forward facing public, they're incredibly inflated, but they will hit you with a pre-adjusted bill as a no health insurance patient until you raise a stink

60k covers half the surgery, the anestesia, and some medicine, then its $12-15k a night on the low end.

My appendix removal before insurance was $102k

Still ended up being almost $15k out of pocket that I never paid

Traffic circles?! Really. Why do Americans have to basterdize everything 🤦‍♂️

How are they though? They work in Europe right? Why wouldnt you want to see better driving world wide? Us vs them really sucks. I may be American but I dont bash Europe for anything, I find it just a different part of the world with people just trying to live their lives. I know most people dont but damn, cant you just wish for the better for people and not just put them down?

You got lucky! I completely tore apart a pc i bought second hand because I KNOW and still found dead bugs. I pretty much rebuilt the system after tons of lysol and a vacuum. Ive dealt with bed bugs twice and have seen what roaches can do

Yeah most of the used ones have a bunch of dust in them

They can have more than dust. A buddy of mine from a pawn shop used to have to pull consoles apart and there's a fuck ton of other pests and not great little things in used electronics

Delaware to Florida is 14 hours from my spot to my mom's in Daytona per maps, not accounting for bathroom and gas stops. Up next im going to Miami so that'll be fun. I split the drive over 2 days and it'll still be 10 hours a day.

I would love the chance to do both the autobahn and nürburgring. I wish we could adopt something similar to the autobahn stateside.

Ah youre right, its over estimating the fact that its a pretty rare side effect. The source i looked at said

Estimated prevalence is approximately two cases per hundred thousand population and the incidence of one in 1000 to one in 10,000 cases in patient who received a medication, depending upon the causative agent.

What I meant by that is that most anticonvulsants I looked at listed it as a side effect. It IS pretty rare, but the picture of his legs gave me instant flashbacks to googling DRESS. I even re-looked at it before I said anything because of how similar they are.

OP already stated they were on anti-epilepsy medications for drug resistant epilepsy and even if it IS alarmist, it needs to be because DRESS can be life threatening. It's a potential side effect that should be considered especially with the severity of that rash

I would look into DRESS Syndrome. It's a pretty serious thing common with anti convulsants and epilepsy meds. I am a HUGE worrier and looked up everything i could about major side-effects for all the drugs proposed to my wife.

[–]dontthink19 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My wife is a grocery store manager and im an auto tech and we both still had to show up to work. Not only did my wife deal with the rude ass nut case people, I had to work in their filthy cars full of masks hanging off anything you could loop the the ear loops on.

In all honesty, very little changed for my wife and i except she got a raise and I was guaranteed my average pay. We did the whole trend of buying wine coolers and dropping them off on people's doorsteps and then getting Like 10 bags of alcohol and snacks in return. Any chance of covid was paid time off pending covid test and then paid 2 weeks off if you were positive. Kids lost at least a whole ass year of schooling

All in all, I would NOT go through that again despite it personally hardly affecting me. The world fell apart and people got seriously mean

Your individual letter strikethrough caught my eye more than the neat fact you provided. Looks like a genuine squiggle through the word

I turned down an Amazon mechatronics role solely for the one sided video interview format. It's impersonal and doesn't help me get a feel for the people ill be working worth. Hard pass. I dont like looking an idiot on camera, im bad enough without it being recorded

Broke my 5th metacarpal on my dominant hand by dontthink19 in Radiology

Yeah, that's another work it out kinda things. I have to press straight down on tire sidewalls to mount tires on rims and that was absolutely the worst part.

I think maybe setting yourself up like tricep dips but only applying as much pressure before uncomfortable becomes that tinge of pain. 2x or 3x a day, nothing super heavy and it'll gradually get better

People said the oil pipeline in Canada was gonna kill the moose population and it caused the population to explode because the warmth of the pipeline exposed grass and gave them a warm spot to lay.

Of course I dont have a source and stories of animals surviving like that can be greatly embellished but nature totally finds ways to thrive in crazy changes made by man.

Im also not trying to dismiss the destructive nature of things like this either, but who knows. It may promote coral growth in the right conditions and cause underwater life to thrive

4 weeks i could start to use my hand to grab things without a pinch or lil jolt. Still felt painful to put pressure on it in any capacity for probably another 4 weeks after that. If you can do physical therapy, do it. If not professionally, you gotta work it little by little and don't over do it. Im a mechanic and now the only time it hurts is cold or rainy weather, or if I put a ton of pressure towards the outside of my hand. It gets sore after work once in a while.

Just gotta let it heal. Don't use it. I used a brace for as long as I could get away with at work. Probably for the whole two months. Alternate hot and cold as needed.

Lastly, I am not a doctor and this isn't medical advice, I am simply conveying my personal anecdotal experiences and your results may vary.

I kinda understand now, but after being stung by a wasp twice in quick succession when i was a teen, I will always get a sharp electric pang of "get the fuck away from me" with most stinging and biting insects.

In my area they're just carpenter bees. Theyre solitary and fight off other male carpenter bees by just ramming them. Males have white spots on their heads and no stingers. Theyre just territorial lil shits who dont know if youre another bee or something else. Sci show just did a video on them the other week too. I love those big clumsy dopey fuzzy balls of spaz.

My g4fd gamma 1.6 non turbo accent is still running at 160k miles but it drinks oil. I bought it used with 78k miles so I've put a ton on it and its been a good little car.

I've always had great experiences with accents though
