It’s fascinating reading your side of this, everything you said tracks with getting paid by insurance carriers as well. I’m a revenue analyst for an insurance agency. There are no established rules or SOPs they follow. They each make up their own thing. For each established rule one carrier follows, there’s another one who does something completely different. Some of their websites are really good and helpful while others are the oldest looking sites I’ve seen in years. We have a team of people who are assigned carriers, and only work with those carriers, so we can keep track of how each one operates and pays us. It’s a mess. I couldn’t imagine trying to navigate all these carriers by myself in order to get paid, on top of managing a practice.

They raised 100 mil in funding and phased out the first game in order to work on the second. They didn’t lose the interest of their audience (source).

Mine too!

This car is perfect for getting out of awkward conversations. Anytime you want to leave, just say, “I have to pea” and drive away.

It’s also very expensive compared to other finish options like plating or different types of paint. I would be surprised if price wasn’t also a factor.

Hades II. It’s so hard to put down.

My house was one of the ones hit in this storm. Baseball sized hail was blowing in sideways and broke a window. We lost a huge limb from our oak in the front yard. I got a roof inspection yesterday and it’s shot, it needs replacement. This was an expensive storm for me, but it could’ve been much worse. One of my coworkers said her neighbor’s tree fell on her house.

Maybe twelvend or twelv-econd or twelfond? My brain hurts.

Are the prices coming down at all?

I’ve been thinking about a Balatro community for a few weeks now, but life has been too crazy for me to create it. I’m really excited about this! If you’re looking for mods, please let me know. I’d be interested in helping out!

I can’t believe Balatro is so high on the list even though it came out less than a month ago. It’s very deserved though, it’s crazy addicting and it plays perfectly on the deck.

I picked up Armored Core VI in the recent sale, I’ve been enjoying it a lot more than I anticipated. Being able to switch up everything in the build after dying then trying again makes the failure fun.

Here is the entire article (not kidding):

"A meningitis outbreak has killed 20 students in northern Nigeria, local media reported Wednesday (Feb. 28).

The death toll which remains provisional was announced by the Yobe state Education commissioner.

The outbreak has been recorded in some secondary schools in the state.

Over a hundred cases have allegedly been reported with three patients said to still be in an intensive care unit responding to treatment.

Meningitis is an infection which causes an acute inflammation of the outer layers of the brain and spinal cord. It can be life-threatening unless diagnosed and treated early.

Transmission is through direct person-to-person contact, including droplets from the nose and throat of infected people.

The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention shared Wednesday (Feb. 28) on its X account (formerly twitter) a meningitis vigilance map.

Indeed, weather conditions can favour prevalence of meningitis.

Most of cases in the country are reported across states in the northern region.

According to the WHO, the west African nation reported 124 deaths from meningitis between 1 October 2022 and 16 April 2023."

It doesn’t even say which version it is, viral or bacterial.

I hope Bouldy is in the cubicle next to him.

I’ve been really enjoying Aragami recently, but it requires installing Proton GE to get the cutscenes to work after the first level. It’s such a neat stealth game.

I was. As a boy, I had undiagnosed ADHD and had a terrible time managing my emotions. It wouldn’t take much for me to cry, like getting out in dodgeball. It was easy ammo for the bullies. My parents were very controlling which stunted my social growth and I had very few friends. I remember one of the boys being dared to put his arm around my shoulders at lunch. I thought he legitimately wanted to connect with me until he started counting out loud. All I could do was put my head down in shame…I don’t look back on my childhood very fondly. Things were rough.

It’s so funny to me that we have to circumvent the site’s paywall in order to read an article about pirating.

That illustration with the hook through the film reel is so clever, I love it.

I work in insurance and it’s wild how many insurance carriers have pulled out of Florida and California due to natural disasters. The market is vastly shifting to smaller carriers in these regions.
