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!

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.

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.

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 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.

Oh my god, Linux makes you fat.

ACAB, assigned crab at birth?

Where's that ButtholeSpiders guy, we need him.

Dammit, Schmidt.

He trolled us so hard in that intro. lol

I’ve played D&D 5e and I’m currently 10ish hours into BG3. Is there anything specific you’d like help understanding? I’m happy to help if I can.

ACG uploaded a short to YouTube covering the bare bones of their review. Their rating for this is a “buy”.

That makes sense, thanks for the explanation!

What is soaker even for? I have yet to find a use for it.

The undulating vocals had me rolling. They absolutely nailed that from Dune, it sounded just like it.

I’ve been to Northern Saskatchewan a few times (Stony Rapids), it’s gorgeous up there.
