Just really think in terms of bangability. You wanna bang someone with a hairy forehead? Neither did our ancestors.

“This study is the first to demonstrate the relationship between SPL and nose size but is limited in Japanese male cadavers, and the reason why SPL and nose size are related is still unclear. Therefore, we consider it an interesting subject to pursue from now on.”

Just don’t die in Japan.

Medical Bill negotiation, how should one do it?

So I went to a hospital the other day and was told I have a de-deductible of $3,000. I am not sure how much my insurance paid (if anything). At some point I have to talk to the hospital about payment and I want to talk them down to accept a lower amount. I do have some savings to offer, but I would like to get them to agree to...

OtisRamflow ,

Call the hospital, get the billing department ask if you can talk to someone about reducing the bill.

I had a similar situation once, said my chest hurt and everyone freaked out and I ended up with a 5k ER bill. With no actual answer to why my chest hurt, and was still hurting.

I talked to the hospital they set up an appointment with a woman, I showed bank statements, income, insurance information. Ultimately, because I had very little income or money at the time. They just forgave the entire amount. No more bill.

Definitely worth a shot.

Is your intent to learn from and preserve a lost culture, or profit off of stolen goods?

I feel like it’s pretty simple.

OtisRamflow ,

I don’t think I’d try to carry my 55" OLED by myself. I recall it being particularly unwieldy when we were installing it.

OtisRamflow ,

Might be exaggerated, but some get pretty crazy looking.

Chinook, looks like hot iron.

OtisRamflow ,

Love that song, exactly what I thought of.

OtisRamflow ,

Thanks for your insight, fartsparkles.

OtisRamflow ,

Just a friendly reminder to lock your credit.

OtisRamflow ,

Yeah locking it just means nobody can open new lines of credit on the social security number. Then you can use multi factor authentication on the different bureau sites. You’ll need to lock it on all three… Which sucks.

It’s annoying, it’s stupid that we have to do this. But you gotta look out for yourself.

OtisRamflow ,

I meant freeze, which you should do.

OtisRamflow ,

So you have 64gb total?

OtisRamflow ,

I would guess there are dumb alien teenagers as well.

OtisRamflow ,

Wait until you learn about cooking at home.

OtisRamflow ,

I had a block of cheese one time, they went crazy about it. X-rayed it a bunch. They really didn’t like that cheese.

OtisRamflow ,

It was a 5lb block of cheddar from UW Provisions, in Madison Wisconsin. Which, in their defense, is a very large block of cheese.

OtisRamflow ,

Urogesic blue, same kind of thing, but it turns blue.

OtisRamflow ,

The name mastodon literally means “breast tooth,” referring to the the “nipple”-shaped bumps along the top edges of these animals’ teeth.

OtisRamflow ,

Cinematic widescreen, bars on the top and bottom. Been a thing forever, honestly OLED makes it more bearable because the pixels are turned off. I’d rather have the bars be completely black than backlit black.

Interesting fact, there are saltwater crocodiles in southern Florida, and the keys. It’s, I believe, the only place in the world that has crocodiles, alligators, and Amazon caiman.

There was a recall on, I think, Chevy headlights. The LEDs were too bright, unfortunately recalls are at the will of the owner.

My electric toothbrush does 30 seconds per quadrant, 2 minutes total. I’m 38 have zero cavities and my teeth are fine. I only brush once a day.

OtisRamflow ,

I really enjoyed For All Mankind.

“In 2005, Transport Canada, a federal agency, decided to do something about it. Starting in 2007, it declared, all passenger vehicles sold in Canada would require an engine immobilizer, a basic anti-theft device that uses an electronic signature in the key to unlock the engine. If the key isn’t present, the car can’t be started. This prevents hot wiring and other old-school, brute force methods of stealing cars.”

Saved you a few min.

Looking for a good Linux to install on a slow 2019 machine. Relative beginner with Linux.

Hello! My old laptops hard drive packed it in, so I got a new one and now need to flash drive an operating system on it. I think this is my time to give Linux a proper go. I tried it before for my gaming PC but switched for a cracked Windows key because I was young and not bothered to learn....

OtisRamflow ,

I would recommend reinstalling windows, because the activation key is still on the mobo, and you might as well use it. Then you can fuck around with dual boot, and try all sorts of Linux distros.

You can even put them on a USB stick and side load, without installing anything at all. This is great for testing, until you find one you like and pull the trigger on a dual boot setup.

OtisRamflow ,

Sorry I was so late to the game. I used to work computer repair, always had a Linux stick to boot into, and changed it up every couple of weeks.

Always something fresh, it was fun seeing all the different distros. You can also make a Linux USB stick with persistent storage and install apps and save settings. In my experience those tend to shit the bed after a few weeks.

Another option that’s one step above a USB stick, is an m.2 enclosure. I had those with dual boot, windows and Ubuntu. I could plug that into anyone’s computer, boot the external drive and rule out hardware problems with ease.

The m.2 enclosures are almost indistinguishable from an internal drive, made it so I could boot into my own setup on any machine.

OtisRamflow ,

I’ve never heard of such a thing, on any computer. Though HP would be that shitty. Sounds like something fishy with your UEFI, you ever update your bios?

I used to do this like 30 times a day sometimes (HP, Dell, Lenovo, Asus), never had an issue with boot menus. The ONLY problem I’ve ever encountered was an external boot triggering bit locker, and locking me out.

What you’ve described is a hell I’ve never experienced, but def does not sound like standard operating procedure.

OtisRamflow ,

How the fuck could they not even give it a new name?! One of my favorites as well.

OtisRamflow ,

I used to pull the product key stickers off parts we bought at my old job. Laptop bottom cover, with free windows 7 key. Every computer in my house is running Windows 11 pro, activated with a Windows 7 key, that was otherwise just going to get thrown away.

OtisRamflow ,

It’s Ron being an insensitive prick, that’s the joke.

OtisRamflow ,

Maybe they mean the Kirkland brand, all the other pants are just normal name brand pants. They do NOT have fitting rooms though, maybe that’s also part of the joke.

OtisRamflow ,

Boomer logic.

OtisRamflow ,

Looks a bit like a location in Day of Defeat source.

OtisRamflow ,

Yeah we had to institute a throw it straight into the trash policy because of pukey Chromebooks.

OtisRamflow ,

We exclusively repaired for schools, kids puke for like… no reason.

OtisRamflow ,

I saw this happening in real life one time, on the back of a Dodge Neon. Best part is they were in the parking lot of a Planned Parenthood. We cheered them on, then went about our business.
