‘Calling insurance to ask where to go’ should not be part of anyone’s healthcare workflow.
I have however gotten into the habit during the past 25 years, of asking clinic receptionists which insurance works best on their side , and if they take my insurance.
And I have seen clinics more willing to take on that burden themselves, on the front end.
Indie podcasters - keep evil corporations out of broadcasting
Established stars- I expect to be paid for my work and for a staff to worry about all the rest
Updating my Apple Watch has always been an ordeal of minimum two hours. It often fails about an hour in, requiring one to restart the process of very minimal useful feedback on progress. ‘This will take 17 hours’ is typical of messages seen
One issue I’m sure it wants to default to Bluetooth, when faster WiFi *IS* available.
Trigger from phone? From watch? it makes a difference. WiFi to Phone? Or directly to WiFi router?
No WiFi in home. I track my sleep with watch. No updates ‘as I sleep’
Oh, you can update my watch LATER tonight while I sleep?
What’s wrong with now, motherfuckers?
What’s wrong with NOW?
Time travelerslips and refers to the new Charlie Chaplin short as a ‘video’
It’s the non crescent side of the moon that is going to cover Venus
Occultation of Venus by the moon happens around 2:30 central here. This afternoon in a couple of hours or so.
Your location and timing may may vary. Both are bright, we just aren’t accustomed to looking for Venus in broad daylight.
Make a playlist of unfamiliar songs from what you consider the fallow period of one of your favorite artists.
Maybe not wear khaki shorts that match your skin tone as you squat for your informal Press photo.
This survey could skew strongly with age demographics.
Did you grow up or frequently visit a home with a smoker?
Did you take up smoking tobacco yourself?
Although what I described is still probably a better ‘hook’, try not to think of the trollolo guy.
Sometimes my earwyrm is a four bar loop of the same bridging passage in a song, never resolving.
1:14 -1:22 of Beginnings. Chicago. Chunk of melisma.
Or maybe it will go the the resolving variant only to start the loop over.
It’s a bit weird when you catch a major news event simply because you woke up in the middle of the night and couldn’t sleep.
And most of the comments mention how surprising it was to wake up to this news.

Uncertain if “post unavailable” is an intentional gag or an accident.

A favorite thing I ask of Google AI is the factual consensus on the scammy ideas I see sprinkled as ads on Google’s own YouTube.

48° C is ~ 120° F. It is summer there now, but it is the equivalent latitude, close to the South Pole, as New Jersey is to the North Pole.
Does New Jersey have 130° F temperatures often?
Often the neighborhood names in large cities make perfect sense.
But frequently enough, it isn’t helpful. It is more like the city is putting on airs. The neighborhood names don’t make sense even if you are a realtor or developer inventing the naming distinction for your own convenience.
It is laughable in some medium sized cities, and even the residents don’t have an idea of where you are talking about.
Frank Nelson
Yeeessss?
Well if you saw him on 60s syndicated TV, from Jack Benny to Lucy, probably yes. No he isn’t Gale Gordon.
The Great Gildersleeve was mostly a radio show
Gildersleeve was played mostly by Frank Peary and William Waterman on radio, which was probably the origin of the extended ‘Yes’.
I bet it has a warm unsaturated low contrast palette.
Because that is pretty much the state of color e-ink displays.
But that is often favored expecially for vintage and nostalgia.
It’s almost like someone at a color e-ink display factory complained, ‘yuck this looks bleh, like an dull old photogra…hey wait a minute!’
Don’t expect Kodachrome.

You are adding something to tuna salad beyond the canned tuna and mayonnaise.
What will it be?
