Lol people have been giving fake names and addresses to the ER to get free healthcare for decades and this guy’s buying a thermocycler. Some people don’t even bother to hide the fact it’s a fake name: I’ve treated three different Smith Smithsons and a dude named Millionare Pewdie.

Mr. Lobe posted:Wait, does that work?? So you don’t have to have an ID when you go into the ER but a medical professional has to see you to rule out an emergent medical condition, that’s the law. Back when ER docs had their own practice they’d breeze by and boot you out if you were obviously planning the equivalent of a dine and dash but ever since private equity turned most ER docs into hourly workers without overtime, holiday pay, or sick days, we’ll generally just roll with anything and order whatever tests you need and move on, it doesn’t hurt us any.

Mr. Lobe posted:Wait, does that work?? it might work at some ERs and not others. At the Lex Luthor Hospital network ER in my town they will demand an ID and credit card. If you refuse to provide one they'll get mad and rake you over the coals with rules lawyering. I had health insurance and a credit card but had to wait in excruciating pain for an hour because the one billing agent on duty that had to swipe my card and clear me for care, as they had decided my issue wasn't life threatening, was too busy. I had the lights off in my room and the entire time two employees were outside my room complaining about how none of the patients were paying and trying to draw the line where they could stop providing care on people.

Just pick up a medical textbook and a hand mirror, be your own doctor. Bingo bongo so simple. Don't forget to steralize your sewing needles, pocket knives etc with a lighter first.

Delta-Wye posted:lavrov's main comment seemed to center around the fact constant trade deficits mean they will just keep accumulating more and more rupees, but they don't want to pay currency conversion to go do commerce elsewhere. the source mentioned some potential solutions they're already exploring. this feels like one of those problems that is real, but solvable, and once solved will further detrench the dollar. They should get more bomb arrows and Gerudo spice, or invest in Tarrytown

Xaris posted:yeah this is actually probably the best route in terms of minimizing time + maximum bang for the buck. should probably be able to get a pretty good <10 year old car for five figures that runs great. miles also aren't the end-all-be-all anymore either, so something with 100k doesn't mean it's junk when most can run for 250k+ mile. Yeah, I was assuming the OP was looking for a new or nearly-new car, which is where you're going to get really devastated on prices right now no matter what you do. Okay-ish deals on older cars exist if you can buy them through trustworthy dealers or shops, but you also have to be a lot more careful. I'm still ultimately kind of down on those deals because super cheap and reliable beaters just don't really exist anymore, and haven't for at least a few years. I can't speak for anywhere else, but any car around here for <$4k is going to be riddled with catastrophic issues if it's not just completely undrivable. I've done a complete rebuild on an engine with a blown head gasket before and I still wouldn't be comfortable buying anything I could find that range.

https://cordcuttersnews.com/the-4th-largest-cable-tv-company-is-reportedly-considering-shutting-down-its-tv-service-outsourcing-it/ posted:2022 was not kind to cable TV companies as Comcast and Spectrum lost a combined 2.6 million TV customers in 2022. Now in 2023 that number is growing as Spectrum has already doubled its losses in the 1st quarter of 2023 vs that same period in 2022.

Gotta love when you can directly draw the line from a company loving around to finding out. At least for Comcast (I am sure others as well) you used to be able to call in to customer service and threaten to cancel and get a bunch of money off your bill for 6 months to a year. And you would just have to keep doing that every so often to keep your bill $50ish (or more) lower. About 2 years ago or so, Comcast stopped offering any retention deals at all. I finally sat down and ran the numbers and even when I had to sign up for CBS All access (now Paramount) because CBS comes in like poo poo on an antenna, I was still saving like $120 a month to drop cable that I wasn’t really watching. And we already had a bunch of streaming services because we have young kids. My parents had a similar story. They tried to get Comcast to lower the bill. When Comcast refused last year, they switched to AT&T. A week later Comcast called and tried to offer them something. My parents were pretty much “gently caress you, we went through the hassle of switching, we are not switching back”.
