I read this as alligator washers and was very confused

Holy crap, all these answers and hardly anything about how health insurance is supposed to work.

Basically, most people have health insurance. With the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare) from years ago, it’s basically required but getting care is simpler (you can’t be denied a plan for a preexisting condition, for example. But it’s hella expensive. It’s also typically tied to your employer as part of your compensation package like retirement contributions, which means if you change employers there’s a good chance you need to change insurance and even doctors.

ANYWAY, say you have procedures done. Insurance companies typically have contracted amounts for stuff with each provider (a “discount” from insane prices nobody actually pays). You typically pay the first however many dollars, depending on what you’re having done and how your plan works. Eventually, you’ll reach a dollar amount that’s your maximum for the year, and from there insurance generally covers everything they normally would

Some people also have Medicare (ages 65+) and/or Medicaid (based on income or disability). Some people have private insurance on top of it. My daughter was born extremely early and stayed in the hospital for months. Her very low birth weight was a qualifying disability for Medicaid, and she was on my work health insurance. Claims would go through work insurance first, and any remaining costs (deductible) would be passed to Medicaid. If there was anything left, I’d be responsible for that. But I don’t think that ever happened

Obviously, coverage is different for different people - different employers have different plans that cover different things differently. But in theory, that’s how it should work.

I am instead charming as fuck in person. Which was my other advantage. It doesn’t show online

Honestly? I totally saw it

If you wanted to do pineapple and soy sauce together, I bet that marinating the pineapple in some soy sauce (probably the low sodium kind for this one) would work great!

Burgers and pizza (and omelettes) are the perfect “blank canvas” foods. You can be boring with few/no toppings, you can be traditional with the expected combinations, or you can flex your creativity with whatever else your heart comes up with.

Either way, it’s an ingredient with plenty of potential, but it needs to be countered somehow. Canadian bacon doesn’t do it for me, in pizza but pepperoni and jalapeno does! For burgers… I like the comment mentioning soy sauce, but if I had to think of something on my own… Hmmm, maybe grilled with grilled jalapeno, crispy onion, and some cream cheese? Basically a jalapeno popper burger with the pineapple shaking things up and the crispy onion adds some crunch?

Damn, now I’m hungry

My “nanopremie” daughter needed a lot coming home from NICU: medications, refilling oxygen tanks, nebulizer, plus the usual bottles and poop tracking, plus we have a dog who can’t be forgotten, etc.

I felt like half my time was spent standing in the kitchen wondering what I should do next. I ended up going old school, printing a checklist, grouped with different colors for things at different times of day and a column for each day of the week. Once I had a list that worked for me, I had it printed on card stock and laminated it, so I could use a dry erase marker to reuse it and have a rolling log of things like baths and poops.

That said, don’t fret too much about tracking that stuff. Of all the things that have advanced infant survival, health, and wellness, apps are definitely not a major driver. If it helps your sanity, fine, but also don’t get too focused on things you think will help your sanity… If that makes sense.

What happened after that?

Sometimes I think about changing out my 13-year-old 1080p TV for something with 4k. Then I see crap like this and hope it never dies.

And better Call Saul. Mostly because they’re so short it’s over by the time you find the remote.

I love that they tweaked it in the Bingo episode! Especially how everyone is caught off guard when Bluey goes after Mom and Dad

Philippines was a US territory

that hasn’t been true since 1946.

I mean… It was a US territory. Well, at least it was under control of the US in some way. I think one of/the first cruel and unusual constitutional challenges was over something that originated in the Philippines.

Have you ever tried fishing?

A good workspace is a thing of Zen. Enjoy your clean workbench, because that will change in a week and it will never be this clean again!

Couple photos before caulking. Too many soulless, sterile, monochromatic kitchens out there. I have some white/gray stuff, but only with some strategy involved. Gray counters hide food. White cabinets are timeless and easy to match. I was sure to add color where I could otherwise, and the backsplash was a great option!

Been working on a kitchen renovation, bit by bit. Floors, cabinets, counter… Basically everything except for appliances and general layout. The last big step was the tile backsplash, and my friend helped me with caulking it this past weekend (she said she has a pretty good touch with that, and I know I probably don’t). Turned out pretty good!

Normally my dad would help me with stuff like that, but he lives a few states away. He knows I’ve been working on it, but hasn’t seen any progress pictures in a long time. It’ll be fun to show him when my parents come to visit this week!

Down to some trim work (floor, cabinet toe kicks) and a few other odds and ends!

Yeah but you basically said the same thing to someone who does the opposite so I’m just going to assume your strategy is to not wipe at all, which is weird

That’s how I do it! While still sitting down of course. I used to do it the other way standing up but find this easier and works better

If it makes you feel any better, I thought the same until I read your comment

Medium is the singular, for those not aware

Similarly, data is also the plural for datum

Ditto. I’d have so few friends, not to mention my wife and daughter (no males in the house other than me) so things would be pretty confusingly lonely, pretty quick!

At least OP was pretty clear that all people of the opposite sex were to have disappeared so I can still have my dog.
