Are you purposefully ignoring my info? I was homeless living in a shelter for a year. I still have a ton of friends with little to no money/income. The medical system takes care of all of them for free. With no insurance.
Having no insurance causes healthcare costs to be very reasonable and affordable. Paying for health insurance is NOT affordable.
Is there a reason you’re fighting back against this fact?
I’m pretty sure you’re missing my point. Healthcare is cheap af when you are uninsured.
No one NEEDS to pay for health insurance. It’s just a middle class thing that most do.
I still work. I just don’t play the health insurance coverage game.
Personally I own my own business, an LLC taxed as an S-Corp, and do software dev work through that paying myself a minimal W-2 wage.
But my point is that you can leave a job without worrying about losing health insurance coverage.
Yeah for sure. I think the right play is to have accident, hospital, and critical illness insurance from someplace like Aflac to cover those.
Leave your job and lose your insurance. Everything is 100x cheaper that way. Doctors charge very little for cash paying customers. Emergency rooms and urgent cares just write off most of it to charity and charge you a bit if anything at all. The most I’ve paid for is lab work, but that’s a few and far between and still only like 500 bucks for a full panel.
YMMV. I’ve been doing this for three years and have paid less in TOTAL than private insurance wants for ONE MONTH.
Ah ok. Sorry for coming off a bit cold. You sounded a bit trolly
stinky, look at the sub you’re in. Try and draw some conclusions.
Sir, I use it to assist me in programming. I don’t use it to write entire files or functions. It’s a pattern recognizer.
Your team had people who didn’t review code. That’s a problem.
This is a problem with your team/project. It’s not a problem with the technology.
You’re missing it. Use Cursor or Windsurf. The autocomplete will help in so many tedious situations. It’s game changing.
Computer programming has radically changed. Huge help having llm auto complete and chat built in. IDEs like Cursor and Windsurf.
I’ve been a developer for 35 years. This is shaking it up as much as the internet did.
You’re not alone. I also didn’t see either of those things, or know anyone that died from it.
I’m also not denying those things exist, I’m simply affirming your reality.
Payments is a beast of a final boss. I don’t use any of em for payments often at all. I just store value there. Like a brokerage account. And my business treasury.
If you’re into this space and not a Solana lover, you have to check it out. Huge ecosystem. All the large caps bridged as SPL tokens. Fast confirms. It makes defi fun and as responsive as a brokerage account or banking app
crazy swings in value
There’s plenty of trustworthy stablecoins now. And lending platforms have far better yield than a tardfi savings account.
You don’t even need to speculate on some volatile token to move your savings onchain. Do it for the usd rate.
You’ve hit on another problem with the industry, and that is the fact that we are focused on the speculative network or project coins when retail would benefit so much from the network without changing their unit of value. They can just use USD.
We need to stop trying to sell Bitcoin as store of value or eth/sol as gas and start just onboarding usd.
It’s freedom of money. That simple.
It shouldn’t be forced on anyone, but if you appreciate a cryptographic way to own your money securely (USDC or otherwise), decentralized monetary networks give you ways to do that.
I work fulltime in the industry and the racket that is the traditional finance system is the one that resembles a ponzi/fraud/scam more than crypto in my mind.
As an owner of a less cats over less years, this is absolutely a thing and is sometimes referred to as “disabling” or “deactivating” the cat. You can do it at home with a clothes pin.
You don’t pick them up.
Here’s an example from what looks like a professional setting. https://youtu.be/T9TmmF79Rw0
This is regarding parent comment about:
A clamp (padded, preferably) on the scruff of the neck will temporarily brick a cat.
Yes - the details surrounding that, and its relationship to this statement, is covered in the article.
It’s just for disallowing connecting to any other home devices, like you say. Wouldn’t want some spyware on the corporate device to snoop around.
It’s so innocent. So cute. Like your child telling you that they don’t need to eat.
The 1977 treaty relinquished control to Panama on Dec 31, 1999. Title was a little weird.
