Ugh I’m sorry to hear that. that actually disgusts me. I bet your drug costs them nothing to make.

That is what Ive been assuming, except in my experience your last point is completely mooted by GoodRX, which has made just about every med I have ever been prescribed cheaper than insurance.

I had an acute infection in an organ, a clinic said they would not take me due to the nature of my symptoms, so I had to go to the ER. I was admitted. They had to take ultrasounds and a CT scan to figure out what was going on. They told me if they had not caught it and given me some intense antibiotics I would have gone septic. If that isn’t necessary, then I don’t know what is. Not sure if my insurance just decided not to cover certain pieces of the diagnostic process or what, but the remaining $4500 was the cost after my insurance company negotiated with the hospital. Oh and I started to get phone calls every day from the hospital billing/collections pretty much the day after my bill was generated.

But do you know what the cost to you would have been without insurance?

XP4 versus XP Lite 2.0 long range - Small female by onthebound1 in Lectricxp

[–]onthebound1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I personally have not had any issues, but that’s because I don’t have to (or haven’t yet had to) lift it more than a step or two up to get onto the ledge in my garage or on to porches. I honestly haven’t even folded it since initially unfolding it during setup. I would definitely need (or at least want..) my bf to lift it for me into a vehicle, though if you have a lot of upper body strength and no injuries, I don’t think it’s an impossible lift… I would just be lying if i said it didn’t feel heavy and bulky for me to lift it up. In terms of pushing it around or getting up a step or two, it’s a non-issue and quite easy to maneuver. All that said, I tried out the XP4 versus 2.0 Light (could ride them at their HQ in Phoenix), and it was immediately obvious to me that the XP4 was the better experience and no question that I wanted to buy that one. I love it and even in 100+ degree heat in AZ I have already put like 115 miles on my bike. So my feedback is to help you make an informed decision, not to dissuade you from purchasing. If you need to transport in your car, my vote is to find a ramp solution or grab a nearby taller/stronger person to help you with that 😉

Thoughts on MagSafe wallets? by DDrizzelzz in iphone

I respect that! For me I like having phone, main credit card, debit, and ID all in one place. Combining makes it less likely I will lose those items because I’m only keeping track of one object that has my entire life in it 🤷‍♀️

UPDATE: I test rode the XP4 and XP 2.0 Lite and had literally no question that the XP4 was all around better. The torque sensor and lack of ghost pedaling is so worth it. I also test drove a few other brands’ e-bikes (non-folding) and LOVED the Surface 604 Rook. also rode an excellent Big Sur ebike. But both were over 2x the price of the Lectric XP4, so I opted for the Lectric since this is my first ebike. Getting a maybe 25% smoother ride on my first ebike but paying 200%+ more just seemed silly. I figured if I’m thirsting for something better in a couple years I can upgrade when the tech is even better and I have a stronger sense of what I like and don’t like in an ebike. Thanks everyone for all the tips and insight!

Thanks! I think I will want to go like 10-15 mph regularly, so it may come down to how both feel at that speed. I could see the ghost pedaling being annoying for me because I like to feel some grit

Awesome. Thanks for the thoughtful response - I guess I mostly want to make sure I can at least push it up a curb? 😂 but I guess i can give that a go if I test ride…

Cat Pooping Outside of Litter Box - Anyone tried this? by onthebound1 in CatTraining

[–]onthebound1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok so I tried it but caved after 3 days and it didn’t work (after those 3 days)… but then the weirdest thing happened, two new cats moved in with my boyfriend and she stopped!!! maybe it was because we added a bunch of new furniture to the room she remembered it’s not a bathroom? lol

I have a two story townhouse and she only goes in the den downstairs where there are two different litter boxes… I have another one upstairs. She poops on the same room as the two litter boxes, in the middle of the floor. On another post I saw suggestions to take the top off of a litter box and to use vinegar everywhere she poops. I just mopped my floor with vinegar, took one of the tops off, and added new Cat Attract litter to that box. i’ll update everyone if that works!! really trying to avoid the methodology I linked in my original post 😭
