It's not the healthcare that bothered me most, although it did.

It's the cognitive dissonance around the unavailability of healthcare in order to avoid anxiety over the fact that a traffic accident can bankrupt you with no relief. Ignoring the risk takes some serious mental gymnastics and basic math failure to get there, but when brought up in this environment - where a TV show about a teacher who has to cook and sell meth to get hospital money is actually a plausible plot where no one actually examines the mercenary care at all and the main character just pays it - it's just a part of their existence.

Not understanding that few other people love like this - cubans don't live like this - is absurd.

User fees invoke a chilling effect on care usage, especially preventative care.

And when you're seen as a cash cow and as a patient, there can be a conflict of interest.

My auntie had 4 major surgeries to overcome a situation she found herself in. It was serious ICU and ER stuff.

She's been there a month now, recuperating, and once she's fully tapered off the morphine she can go home with a visiting nurse.

Only expenses so far are vending machines when she wants some Peak Freens.

Canadian ex-infantry checking in with an exception to that assertion.

Both my work boots come off regardless.

No one asked, but now I need to know: when would you only take ONE work boot off?

But the Republic and Northern island need to fly those flags so you know where you are and whether it's been taken over.

Okay, maybe not, but when I was in America for a few years we decided the ridiculous fixation was so people knew that they hadn't been taken over ... again.

I'm confused by this graphic

"Best" != "Perfect"

I joined a little contact whorehouse for my side gig and I pay like 10% of my invoices and get insurance and tax and payment processing. It's cheaper than ADP so I'm happy.

Canada's forest will be listening intently.

Why, if this keeps up, Mr Miller could write a stern letter, and we don't want that.

Air Canada has apologized to customers who were allegedly escorted off a plane for refusing to sit in a chair covered with vomit for the duration of their over four-hour flight.

The airline issued a statement after a viral Facebook post claimed two as-yet unidentified female flyers were told there was nothing to be done about the visible vomit on their soiled seats.

Oh! AirCanada!

We've been using Yum (and now its "differenter name is betterer" dnf) for what, 20 years?

You think we'll ever get someone with a clue to fix this? Will RedHat going all IBM about source code help?

 

Okay, so what's with Gitlab and ServiceNow getting so fat on whitespace that they no longer fit in half a 1920x1200 screen properly?

What's the standard width that actual professional webdevs are building toward? Is there a standard, or like app dependendencies are they back to pre-y2k "moar moar nom nom" methodologies?

 

Look. It happens a few times a week, where reps in 3 time-zones will be fucked by an interruption to azure services like o341 or sharepoint (we don't do VMs in azure; not secure enough).

I'm used to shadenfreuding Reddit over that, or at least finding it's not just our company firewall and VPN taking the Proverbial.

Is there a sub I can join to get the topical junk like that? I'm too indolent - like a fox! - to go to twitter (or ideally mastodon) for a more suitable location; but will I find it there if I do? Can it be here too?

 

I didn't find this yet, but please downvote to hell itself and drop a link to the proper prior post in comments if you find it.

In here, eventually, are some comments from the Fedora project leader about how RHEL trying to kill open access to source and packaging source code is potentially going to affect Fedora, RedHat's ginger adopted stepchild which it usually overlooks.

I must say there's a LOT to wait through and one of them has a mic with a bad level at times, and I didn't sit all the way through. Tell me if I've been scammed, but I thought this may have value and I'm hoping to hear confirmation of that too.

Enjoy? Or flame me. Happy Friday.
