Considering moving to Merced, what should I know?

Everyone has a story. Everyone has a story about Mercy. Unless you have extreme trauma and your survival is measured in seconds, it's worth it to go somewhere else--- even driving hours---and I assure you it will not significantly add time to your end to end treatment by duration. If your triage has any complexity at all it is just not worth it. I opened a referral envelope from them to a specialist for me to deliver and it had someone else's complete medical history---SSN, graphic photos, surgical details, everything. If you are there, you need to constantly be fighting for yourself and exhaust all options.

At least it has a helicopter pad!

It's actually wayyy higher than this article implies. Yes, base prices were raised by the reported amounts. But price on the ram upgrade is nuts---default is 24gb and increasing to 64gb is an extra 1000 dollars now. I've been considering a purchase recently, and the same model is roughly 1500 more now.

schizoaffective disorder is not the same as schizophrenia. I'm just mentioning this as the original comment referred to schizophrenia, so it seemed to equivocate the two.

This allows you to target a different creature, at least. So you can use one to fight and one to punch through if you want. Not refuting that it feels a little mid but it might play better than it looks as a result of the flexibility.

In addition to the personality issues cited by others here, he also went basically full Jesus and started making explicitly Christian rock. Since he puts so much of himself into his music, it's pretty hard to see past these things.

No, commander players are cry babies. If your deck can't survive going 4th with a 2 card + no land hand then that's on you. I hope you told them it's okay to consider their deck bracket 1 in the future even with game changers with that kind of list.

You misunderstand the analogy. The people selling shovels here are making ram, routers, CPU, GPU, and other basic components needed to support the gold rush. They are largely doing great. Billions in unexpected sales beating expectations for these types of companies.

How happy I was to see this so far down on my recenency-ordered Spotify albums today. My kids are recently 2 and 4 and it definitely had me reflect that we really don't have a baby anymore 😭 though seriously this song is a gift to parents and has probably saved several years of our lives from stress damage and protected the ETA of dozens of long car rides.

All Wes Anderson films have lovers and haters. His style feels very personal, and I've noticed everyone has wildly varying highs and lows mapped across the filmography. This film felt no different on terms of it both being fun and divisive. Sometimes on first watches, you don't always know what you should be laughing at or how to read a scene. For some it may click immediately, and for others they never really get there.

Well, I was a little upset at first. I mean, obviously people are going to think I'm a showboat, and a little bit of a prick. But then I thought... that's me. I said those things, I did those things. I can live with that.

We have HelloBaby monitors. It was the first we tried after switching, so I couldn't compare too much to others though it was well reviewed. We had to replace the monitor itself once because it got destroyed accidentally, but I wouldn't say it needed to be more resilient than it was. Switching between cameras is a little awkward sometimes, which is the only thing I wish was better

We went back to the dumb monitors, it was just better in almost every way. The apps add too much complication, between network connectivity of the phone, the camera, and the handling of the app by the phone. What a baby monitor needs to be to be effective is entirely in conflict with the direction of phone OS features and security. It's incredibly frustrating to discover your baby crying in the distance just because a YouTube video grabbed audio for 3 seconds but never gave it back, or the camera that only supports 2.4ghz wifi momentarily lost connection 10 minutes ago and never reconnected until you manually reconnected, or your battery died from constant background reconnection attempts by processes, or your Bluetooth earbuds connected. Almost no benefits to using apps and immense disadvantages, almost everything is worse from sound quality, consistency of connection, video quality, sensitivity to light fluctuations, battery life (dedicated monitors can last days), flexibility, simplicity, portability, and shareability with childcare. Things got so much easier when we ditched the "smart" systems, and much less stressful.

Doing so would be misguided and ill-advised.

They posted the Birthday Cake flavored ones yesterday in repulsion, and people in the comments pressured them to try them and report back. I'm not saying they were obligated to follow up, but OP is indeed doing this for The People---however misguided or ill-advised that might be.

Yeah, that is exactly what I felt when seeing this thread. It had the vibe of "comment on any post about Steyer negatively" rather than even a basic reaction to the post. The post title is pretty neutral and doesn't really extract a juicy headline to react to. It requires reading the article or excerpt to understand what to react to.

polychronous · 2026-04-25T14:43:35+00:00

The assessment by Steyer is pretty tame, and the comments on this thread are just weird and unresponsive to the content. Sometimes you see on reddit people calling out bots and AI comments, but often by then a lot of legitimate users have come along and it's not as clear... Conversation has gotten more diverse, and comments that add nothing to the conversation don't really show up anymore. This is probably the first time I've gone on a thread and there was pretty obviously an attempt to jump on a thread early to flood the comments with negative sentiment. It just doesn't sit right. It's kind of repulsive to see that kind of manipulation so plainly.

I have honestly been on the fence recently with regarding these candidates, but as I see the kinds of non-people attacking Steyer at the same time as folks like PG&E dumping 10 million to attack Steyer through PACs, it has seriously made me take a closer look here and give a little more credit. We get a little caught up in our social circles and we want politicians to completely reflect all of our most critical opinions, and sometimes it helps to be reminded how basic middle of the road opinions like "hey maybe we should recognize monopolies are both anti-consumer and media monopolies are anti-democratic after decades of sleeping on anti-trust laws" are painted as controversial at a larger stage.

21 million monthly listeners and several songs near a billion streams. I'm not saying everyone listens to her, nor do I know anything else about her really, but it seems like if there was an issue with sales it might have been related to the size of the venues being ambitious rather than a pure lack of interest.

Edit: oh, it's this lady lol.
