  1. A non trivial amount of taking care of yourself in the US healthcare system involves looking over your claim forms in detail, calling your insurance company, and being unwilling to get off the phone until stuff gets approved or processed. When I had surgery after breaking my leg, a couple of the providers who were only present when I was unconscious weren’t in network. When I pointed out that I couldn’t have confirmed the service providers were in network while anesthetized, nor would I have been in a position to do so even if I was conscious, lo and behold, the claim got processed. I’m SURE other people just pay, because why wouldn’t they. These people are the least pleasant people on earth to haggle with, very close only to small Cambodian women tying to sell you bottled water outside Angkor Wat and that’s because they called me a filthy white boy when I decided to buy water from someone else.
  2. When the bible said the meek will inherit the earth, maybe they meant Meek Mill who’s gotta be good for $10M+.
  3. I will be getting Windows 11, I'd completely forgotten this was a thing.
  4. It's not that Nope isn't a "thinker," it just doesn't have a single interesting thing going for it other than its aesthetic and the performances. Luckily those punch above their weight class, but...
  5. I have 4, 2TB Samsung 980 Pros, and the GPU I'll be running is a 3080 FE.
  6. I feel like Us had something to say even if it ping ponged between not showing / saying enough and then showing / saying things as loudly or flagrantly as possible. I don't think Nope has anything to say... like... at all. It is entirely carried by vibes. Literally everything to do with Stephen Yeun's character could be clipped without anything being lost and the movie would be more cohesive. It's like a Twilight Zone episode where the protagonist doesn't have to learn anything because they're immediately and always right, and also there's a B story that doesn't need to be there. But I guess if you're gonna see it, do it in a theater since it looks rad.
  7. Question, as I'm planning my first PC build after running a Sullybox for many years. If I have several identical NVME drives, will I be able to / should I RAID0 them in the BIOS into a fatty drive so I don't have to deal with multiple drives in Win11? My plan was to have one drive with the OS on the off chance I need to reinstall Windows, and RAID0 the others into the main storage drive. If it matters, this is the mobo I'll have: ROG STRIX Z690-E GAMING WIFI | ROG Strix | Gaming Motherboards|ROG - Republic of Gamers|ROG Global ROG.ASUS.COM ASUS ROG STRIX Z690-E GAMING WIFI Intel LGA 1700 ATX motherboard, DDR5, PCIe 5.0, 18+1 power stages, WiFi 6E, Intel® 2.5 Gb Ethernet, M.2 Combo-Sink , USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 USB Type-C®, SATA and Aura Sync There are a couple places on the board I could install the drives, if that matters as well.
  8. I know this is a weird comment to make about a show in which a lot of people die horribly and occasionally humorously, but I really didn't need to see Sally get almost choked out in this season. Aside from that, I agree that for a show that has let most of its characters have some moments of grace despite their actions, Sally is just a consistent punching bag and it's depressing.
  9. Kaluuya is awesome, of course. I thought his "turn" in Black Panther was one of the very few weak parts of that movie.
  10. I liked it, it was fun. I don’t know that it “worked” overall but moment to moment it’s captivating, good looking, and really well acted.
  11. PAX East also has a very large TT freeplay area
  12. Also these remain incredible. Ayn Rand’s Harry Potter and The Sorcerer’s Stone -The Toast THE-TOAST.NET A willing foe, and sea room.
  13. God willing they'll introduce Faile Bashere and she'll immediately fall into an open manhole that's there for no reason.
  14. Not interested in Nolan's take on the development of the atomic BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM
