I bought cough drops at a CVS once. They were like 4x the price of the grocery store. It’s no wonder their insurance sucks. Also, yes, verticals like that should not exist.

Health insurance is nearly a trillion dollar industry. There is no way to have a middle man that big and somehow save money.

Their goals are 100% opposed to ours. By denying care and charging more, they profit.

We can’t even shop around for a better provider because it’s tied to our jobs. The entire system is broken.

Abolish health insurance.

Yep. I just heard about the liberal hell scape that is California and it’s EV’s that are destroying their highway system. Now California is charging 30 cents a mile in taxes to compensate for fuel tax losses. A non-idiot might take a few seconds to realize that’s the equivalent of $9 per gallon in taxes.

Another idiot complained about green energy destroying the country because “what do we do when the sun goes down or the wind stops?! Blackouts! We need coal energy!”

These people are dumb as rocks.

Double checked and all of the drives are basic. I’m very confused as to what is different between the disks that readable and the ones that aren’t.

I’ve even tried multiple distros. Same scenario.

It was a good theory, but no luck. I’m perplexed on this one.

How does Joplin hold up with larger files? I’ve just been using Google docs, which I don’t like for several reasons. One of which, is that it gets really choppy when you hit 100+ pages.

With the recent Microsoft garbage, I’m giving Linux another try. I’ve been running a laptop for a while, no issues. My main rig, however can’t read all of my um…?hard drives

A live USB of Mint 21 reads 2 of 5 drives fine. The rest are recognized from GParted, but can’t access them. It looks like NTFS-3G is installed.

I’ve duck duck go’d (which apparently is just Bing) for a solution, but haven’t succeeded. Long term, I can probably pick up another drive, copy, and reformat everything to something Linux friendly. For now, I just want access.

I’m lazy and burned out. I don’t want to use the terminal- which I did try. I just want to make a few clicks and have access to all of my files.

If it matters, the drives (roughly) show up as: 500 gb, 4 TB NTFS (readable) 3, 12, 16 TB unknown (not readable)

Windows says they’re all NTFS.

Is there an easy way to easily mount my drives?

My wife found a giant sectional couch that’s in “great condition” at an estate sale. She couldn’t believe no one bought it for $900. She bid $500 on the last day of the sale and was shocked she won.

I sincerely doubt anyone else even bid on the thing. People with living rooms that large don’t buy used couches. We have a relatively large living room and it still sticks out funny.

My wife is so excited. I don’t have the heart to tell her that I hate it. So now I’m out $500, stuck with a behemoth of a couch with worn out cushions, and I have to give away the perfectly nice couch we already have.

So… that’s interesting.

This was a sad read. A gambling addict would have at least had a chance to make money. This guy just kept throwing money away other peoples money and never saw any returns.

I can’t believe someone at the bank didn’t question the strange wire transfers. Or that the guy who told him he was being scammed didn’t immediately reach out to the authorities.

Question: Wouldn’t the FDIC reimburse most of these people’s money?

Every time I read a quote from this idiot it hurts my brain. I could go on about how stop and frisk is a horrible, racist policy that is a violation of basic rights, but just reading anything he says is painful. His speech is so jarring, erratic, and logically flawed. I’ve listened to average second graders express their thoughts more eloquently than this piece of garbage.

The internet with a proper ad blocker is a game changer. Take the five minutes to figure it out. You’ll save more as free time than that on your first day.

Ironically, you could also YouTube how to install Firefox, then unlock.

Everyone laughs like this is obvious, but I really struggle to do this. I’m not sure if it’s an ADHD thing, but I just can’t make myself go to bed at night. Extremely tired? Nah, I’d better wait until I hit a second wind. There’s unimportant stuff I’d rather do.

I still find that insane.

“Russia has been attacking us for 2 years. We’re going to attack back.” “No, don’t do that. That will escalate things.” “Oh cool, I guess we’ll just keep taking it.”

I know our courts are corrupt, but I have to believe there is a virtually zero percent chance Musk wins this. Aside from being idiotic, a win would completely break advertising and business in general.

Musk was always a piece of garbage, but I really believe having a billion+ in wealth breaks your brain. He’s just astounded that anyone could cross him and get away with it.

He didn’t lose to Trump… He beat him.

Nobody wants to work today. Right?

I’m drooling at the thought.

Looks like that storm is going to fuck up that coast

I would be shocked. Absolutely shocked… If the savings weren’t much, much more.

Health insurance companies are leeches.

That was my plan, but my brother and I share our Xbox games (you can share digital copies with one other person). Since it magically appeared in my inbox, I gave it a go.

Absolutely fantastic game. But it’s very long, and that’s assuming you don’t read all of the lore. The learning curve is little high, nothing crazy, but I won’t be getting any noobies to try it. Lastly, I hate searching every stupid crate, body, etc. but I’m sure I’ll miss out if I don’t. Oh, and absolutely fuck that neural network “puzzle” and it’s clunky controls.

Otherwise, decent plot, lots of unique battles, good voice acting, many, many different tactics. My favorite game in a while. So I’m taking an hour or two here and there, and switching it up with other games when I lose patience, and I look up the answer if I don’t feel like searching on a quest, to save my sanity.

Have fun when you find a good sale.
