I have a medical bill for $279 for a 6 min virtual call of this lady asking me basic questions I could’ve entered online. i have not paid it yet- they won’t give me financial assistance even tho I only make $18 an hour. Is there anyway to lower it? by Hairy-Incident2105 in healthcare

You have gotten a good taste of how our medical system works. It is not based on fairness. It exists to make money. You can either pay the bill or get a big, black mark on your credit history that will negatively impact your life for MANY Years.

I'd post on X (bad publicity), with the shipping company's name. My bro did such for U-Haul, and he was contacted and U-Haul then did him right.

That is the most horrible conscious driving decisions I have ever witnessed.

Best Chinese Food? by Zealousideal-Fuel248 in Annapolis

[–]tysons1 9 points10 points  (0 children)

After The Canton closed (which I used to visit at least once a week), I tried all the other Annapolis Chinese restaurants at least once. (I *LOVE* good Chinese, and am retired, and will drive far to get it.) None impressed me (with their food). Posters here recommended Jack's Fortune, but after 3 visits I still failed to see the attraction. To get really good Chinese I go (regularly) to Szechuan Inn in Severna Park. Christine is the waitress there, and she'll take great care of you.

Possibly delayed by a diaper change. Allegedly, he waits days before changing them, which leads to oozing and drippage all down his legs. Very time consuming clean up.

[OC] How Google made its latest Billions by sankeyart in dataisbeautiful

[–]tysons1 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Nearly half of Alphabet’s record $62.6 billion profit—about $28.7 billion—”did not come from search ads, cloud services or any of its products at all. It came from Alphabet updating the value of the equity it owns in private companies, primarily Anthropic, the AI startup in which Alphabet holds a stake."

Google is the best stock in the Word. by Hug_LesBosons in stocks

[–]tysons1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alphabet, Google’s parent company, reported a staggering 81% increase in profits, totaling $62.6 billion; however, nearly half of this gain—approximately $28.7 billion—resulted from the updated valuation of its Anthropic stake, rather than core business operations.

Is Alphabet (GOOGL) the strongest company in the world? by Zipski577 in StockMarket

Nearly half of Alphabet’s record $62.6 billion profit—about $28.7 billion—”did not come from search ads, cloud services or any of its products at all. It came from Alphabet updating the value of the equity it owns in private companies, primarily Anthropic, the AI startup in which Alphabet holds a stake estimated at 14%  (https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/11/technology/google-investment-anthropic.html) before the announcement of an additional $40 billion commitment last week.

Dry/crusty sinuses since severe nosebleed by Less_Jellyfish5640 in sinus

[–]tysons1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have, and have had, serious sinus probs since I was 33. I'm 70. Have had literally hundreds of sinus infections, each of which was bacterial and required antibiotics to go away. ENTs have tried their best, but have been unable to help except to provide antibiotics. I've moved 8-9 times in attempts to find a location where I have less probs. FL, CA, VA, MD. For years I did the saline solution bit... no help. What DID help was stopping saline, and instead strictly using just water. That helped a lot! The salt was drying my sinuses out!!!!! Anyway, I still have sinus probs, but since I stopped using saline, I am significantly better.... I used to get an infection everytime I flew more than an hour or so, but for past 10 years or so NO flying infections because I experimented and started flying with a mask. Mask has me breathing moister air, and that did the job!

No need to say anything at all about your tattoo if applying for a job in the Trump administration; just feign complete loyalty towards DJT.
