That definitely felt like a Mass Effect game.

Cautiously optimistic since it seems they’ve abandoned the Mass Effect IP, despite whatever Buoware wants to claim. Planned DLC for the last game being cancelled, in a tiny teaser years ago with no updates, does not bode well.

Very high level of alcoholism, and a lot of darkness due to being so far north and with half the country above the arctic circle. Those are both very strong drivers of depression and suicide rates.

You sure about that? People definitely knew. Not sure that Trump was one of them.

How‽ You used Unity for the first game! Why would expect a difference for the second?

Maybe not factory. But if Michael Reeves can teach one how to piss beer, I’m sure there’s options on the market.

I mean… It would only be appropriate.

Phreeli is an MVNO… using the T-Mobile network.

Hey, at least he’s finally doing something he’s an expert at instead of completely incompetent at.

Just like back in elementary school.

It’s the Explanation Of Benefits. IT is a disclosure of treatment and charges, the date it occurred, etc.

The purpose is for you to verify what the medical provider is saying they did, how much it cost, whether insurance covered it or denied the claim, how much your insurance paid, and if you have a copay or deductible that will be listed as well as the remaining amount (a bill would then be sent separately if that’s the case).

It also has a secondary purpose of advising you if anyone fraudulently is using your information to receive treatment. Since you would receive an EOB without having gone to the doctor obviously.

And those treatments were never anywhere near $4 million. That “not a bill” just shows the massively inflated negotiated illusion insurance negotiated with the provider. It was never accurate but allows insurance companies to point to it to justify the illusion that they’re saving you so much money with their negotiations.

Those bills should be required to also list the cash price, because that’s closer to the actual price of the treatment. Sometimes actually less than the insurance negotiated price. With those the provider doesn’t need to deal with an insurance company and all the bullshit they also do on the provider side. The insurance companies are terrible to everyone, not just the patient.

Not much different than the US… Except the first still costs you thousands, while the second costs you tens of thousands. And in both cases the insurance you pay for will automatically deny every claim and force you to argue that what your doctor ordered is actually necessary while the insurance company effectively practices medicine with an accounting degree.

He did, but not specifically because they were religious anti-abortion protestors.

The dude totally did this because he was angry someone was getting in the way of his argument with his GF. Where it happened and the fact it was annoying religious wackjobs was definitely secondary to the fact it was someone butting into their ongoing argument. He would have done the exact same thing if it were a group of people outside a Panera getting in the middle of the argument.

Ah, I see you didn’t read the article at all.

The Christo fascists weren’t the ones with the gun.

“It was discovered that the male and female were already in a fight on the way to Planned Parenthood, which continued in the parking lot,” Lacy said. “The protesters were verbally intervening with the male and female’s disturbance.”

According to a separate news release, the protesters who witnessed the initial disturbance were with AIM KS, short for Abortion Is Murder.

“Witnesses say a man arrived at the facility with a woman, who reportedly refused to exit the vehicle,” AIM KS wrote in its news release. “According to witnesses, the man became visibly agitated while hearing Christians proclaiming the Gospel.”

Lacy told the Post the male then showed a gun and then pointed the weapon at one of the protesters.

“The suspect then fired the weapon away from protesters and shot toward the ground,” Lacy said. “The suspect then got into his vehicle and left with his female.”

Ah yes, this tracks.

American “Christians” that protest clinics like this are 100% the type of people I’d expect to severely escalate an already aggressive situation while “trying to help” with absolutely no consideration that their religious proselytizing is making things worse.

The dude was obviously in the wrong, but I get it. Those wackjobs are annoying on a good day when you’re not already angry and in the middle of an argument.

That doesn’t necessarily mean anything. The owners care more about the news type aspects of these purchases, not the entertainment side.

Look at all the vocal MAGA Trek “fans” that seem to completely ignore the history of the franchise when trying to say it’s gone Woke and similar shit. Just because the owners are fascists that doesn’t mean the showrunners will be forced to avoid tackling topics indirectly. That’s what Trek has always done, sometimes less indirectly than others.

turns out the feds are running it as a honeypot

A reminder that in the US at least, among other places, consuming pirated content is not illegal. It is distribution that is a problem, hence why torrents are a favorite for companies to target.

No, trackballs are a separate thing. And their design is usually better at keeping debris out of the ball meaning less maintenance even though it’s exposed literally all of the time.

Most reasonablemice now support wither a 2.4GHz dongle, or Bluetooth. If your device has WiFi it almost certainly has Bluetooth support. So many motherboards are coming with built in wifi now, as do a lot of prebuilt towers. For most usage a Bluetooth connection is just fine.

The mouse I have is only wireless for the “less drag while gaming” aspect but the cable is actually super nice, so I dont even mind the cable… I just leave it plugged in now.

This is what I do. The mouse is plugged in most of the time but if I’m playing a game or working in like Photoshop, it comes off for the freedom of movement.
