Medicare Advantage is a commercial wrapper for Medicare…

Unless you were in BFE, there were options for getting Linux delivered in the mid 90s.

I know I bought a Red hat 4 (not to be confused with RHEL) CD in the late 90s from some mail order thing.

This was actually “fill out a form and mail it”. And they offered legit nearly every major distro. I think they even sold printed out copies of HOWTOs.

But it was quite cheap. Iirc it wasn’t much more than postage and a small fee to cover time and materials.

And I paid C.O.D.

This wasn’t a secret…I think I found the site either from usenet or EFnet #linux… but it wasn’t like going to CompUSA.

I also remember seeing Walnut Creek FreeBSD and Slackware CDs at a nearby flea market (Flea@MIT) around then, too. Probably also the computer fairs as well.

You didn’t even hear of Ruth Bader Ginsbird. Also have Yolko Ono, Eggatha Christie, Princess Layer, Queen Layteefah, Annie Yolkly…

There are some others that I’m forgetting…

It also isn’t a good sign when a foreign civilization has the technology to show up at your shores while your civilization doesn’t.

This is why we need more research into interstellar travel.

Her feathers have since come back on but she’s still Henny from the BAWK 🐔.

She used to be top girl but now it’s usually either my Buff Orthington, Chloe Kardashi-hen (she used to be Dolly Part-hen but the kids insisted she was a “Chloe”), or my Olive Egger, Stevie Chix.

Yeah that was a quite tongue-in-cheek comment. Surprised it didn’t transmit so well.

Ahh so the real original sin is entrapment. Got it.

Nah after the data center is built you need like a dozen guys there for smarthands.

But the rest of the jobs will be in India.

This is my girl Hennifer Lopez, about a month ago when the northeast got that big blizzard.

Idk if she got into a fight or if this was just some late molting, but either way, those pin-feathers look badass.

Generic GLP-1s in USA when?

Wegovy Pill is still, I think, $150-$200 (for now) (with manufacturer coupon) per month.

I started a week ago and I honestly feel like I will be saving at least $5-$7 per day off my food budget. So it’s affordable, albeit expensive.

Still a ripoff that insurance companies aren’t paying for it. Between my contribution, my employers contribution, my Medicare tax, and my deductible, my family plan costs $50k per year. That’s roughly the per capita median income in my area. The whole industry is a damn scam.

Oh boy guess we gotta start eating freedom fries again.

It happened to me once. It was probably an old version of bash or possibly even just sh.

Don’t forget the dot files and directories. Use sudo in case of trouble…sudo rm -rf .*

(Don’t actually do this, because some shells will take that to include . and .. recursively)

Hey “analysts”, listen…people aren’t burning fossil fuels for fun. We do it because we have no practical alternative.

That’s not our fault. Not when the duly elected leader of one of the biggest economies in the world wants to bring back coal and “drill baby drill”, incentivizing further build out of fossil fuels and penalizing renewables.

When he’s not fucking kids, that is.

Is that what he meant when he said “drill baby drill” 🤔

Snakes are lizards for all intents and purposes, but colloquially zoologists and biologists won’t refer to them as such.

Sort of like how birds aren’t reptiles (they are) and corvids are not crows (they are, unless you’re a dick about it)

Triumph the Insult-Comic Dog, a bit from Conan.

That’s like a pot calling a kettle the N-word.

Genies out of the bottle now man.

Look forward to an arms race and eventually a cold war. This is our generations nuke.

That’s why Bezos has his secret mansion on the dark side of the moon.

Ehh it’s worked before.

Spain, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 3,000,000 files that are missing. I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press.
