If you have no life a PHEV is the best of both worlds. I went all of COVID without ever getting gas because I was able to just use the battery. And PHEVs have been increasing in range too. I got mine in 2019 and it only has 26 miles range, but the RAV4 prime gets 42 now. Maybe there is even something better, haven’t really been paying attention cause I don’t need a new car.

I wouldn’t want a bell ringing in my ears all day either. Especially if I was a cat with more sensitive hearing

I used to take CBD every day for anxiety and I only found this out after a couple years so thanks for bringing it up. If your medication says to avoid grapefruit, then you probably should not take CBD

Have you tried cgrp antagonists? I tried literally everything to the point where multiple neurologists said they couldn’t help me. I was using THC for a long time for my migraines but I was still suffering. With cgrp antagonists I feel 100% normal and it works every time, even if it takes longer if I take it too late.

It’s worth trying a sample if you haven’t, because it’s a world of difference between being high with a migraine and just not having one anymore IMO

Nurtec is approved for preventative now too

CBD never did shit for migraines for me, only anxiety

Blockchain (simplified) is a giant excel spreadsheet that you can never edit, only add to. I struggle to think of any applications that is a benefit for, and even then append only databases would already do it better.

One of the benefits is supposed to be decentralization, but people tout that as a benefit for things like house deeds, or identification, or whatever. Imagine how massive an append only excel file of every house with every owner change etc etc included in it would be. Then we once again only have the people who can afford to store that much data storing it, and we are back to where we are now.

It doesn’t really solve any problems, it just is a worse version of what already exists.

I feel like palm pilots are super impressive for the time period they existed in. They were so futuristic! Basically the 1998 smartphone

I wouldn’t even say that much. They bought out x.com as a competitor and threw their garbage code in the trash

Confinity already had payments between palm pilots back in fucking 1998, before x.com even existed

I ordered some abortion pills last time this was threatened just in case. $150 but worth it over getting pregnant and being forced to carry it

Highest paid in the country cause they have a union. And they have an extra vacation day now. But “unions don’t work”

Well Barbie is an accomplished woman with a bajillion jobs so it’s not surprising the movie is “woke”. Barbie was “woke” for her time.

I bet they make a fuck ton of money off this movie, once again disproving “go woke go broke”

Woke is here to stay, it’s called human rights

Perfect is the enemy of good. Trust me, I am very irritated by the complete lack of giving a fuck shown by billionaires and large companies.

But I also know that when it comes down to it the only thing they actually care about is money. And I am one of the people that provides them with that money by choosing to buy their products. Sure, it will take a significant amount of us to make a noticable impact but vegan alternatives have been becoming much more popular and prevalent because there is increasing demand. It’s happening. The dairy industry obviously feels threatened with their stupid wood milk campaign and desperate attempts to ban anyone else from using the word milk.

That is something I actually have control over. I can vote accordingly to try to stop rich assholes from destroying the earth, but I don’t control it alone. At least when the earth dies I can say I tried.

The best protest would be a blank canvas.

You can also not pay for it and get it with ReVanced.

ReVanced also auto skips ad reads in the video itself

I don’t use neopets anymore but I have been following the neopets saga. I will believe it when I see it, they promised this with the site redesign back when flash died, and most of the original games are still not playable years later.

They might just have the wrong insurance info or wrong birthday or something when they did the billing. It should be $0

What year was it done? Up until recently it was federally required for all insurance to cover COVID tests, including rapid tests with NO copay.

In California insurance is still required to cover all COVID testing with no copay. But this doesn’t apply if it is a private plan through your job for example.

Back in 2021 I had a urgent care clinic pull this shit, fighting to get me to pay $300 for a test and refusing me to give an itemized bill. That did not end well for them after I called my insurance and told them about that. Ended up paying them $0 and my insurance paid them like $7 cause it was a rapid test. I had anthem back when that happened.

I went to college for engineering, ended up switching to a math degree.

Figured out I liked computer science while taking CS classes for my math degree, minored in that and planned to be a software engineer.

Realized I don’t want to code all day, got offered a sys engineer position.

Figured out DevOps existed a few years into working and now I do that

Most people don’t know what they want to do and figure it out as they go. There are a lot of people that picked X for the money and stuck with it and hate their job.

It’s well documented it veterinary literature, you can believe the studies or not 🤷‍♀️. It’s not like it kills your cat instantly, you just deal with diabetes kidney or urinary issues in the future. Not sure why someone would not try to prevent that.

So far the only actual study we have on this says it’s not a real thing. Sure, some cats have different preferences but it’s not like you are torturing your cat with normal bowls and need to run out and buy special ones.

If you’re feeding your cat an infinite supply of dry food without a feeding schedule you have bigger things to be concerned about than whisker fatigue.

Remember the magic meatball episode of Rocko’s modern life?
