The law requires hospitals to give you an itemized bill. But these days they will play every possible game to not actually send it to you. My frustrating personal story in @thedailybeast.bsky.social www.thedailybeast.com/getting-an-i...
Getting an Itemized Hospital Bill Is Basically Impossible
How a minor bike accident and a few stitches turned into thousands of dollars in medical bills and a months-long quest for a straight answer from somebody—anybody.

So here's a messed up way having insurance could actually mean paying more out-of-pocket for an ER visit than if you DIDN'T have insurance at all. This will take a bit to explain, so bear with me.
First off, many times, an insurance carrier will contract a "case rate" for ER visits with hospitals.

Love this.
The 10 y/o was asking about limericks today. I was struggling to come up with an appropriate example, so I looked on Wikipedia, which had this one. Kid was delighted.

This photo was taken in 1911 using glass plate technology by Herbert Ponting who was part of Scott's Antarctic expedition,
The composition and detail are exquisite with the band of white snow/ice creating a perfect frame around the two people and the ship in the distance
Iconic imo

Kid 1 from the back seat: Why do you always drive the car in Sport mode? To go faster?
Me: That only increases the acceleration, it doesn't make it go faster.
Kid 2 who has now taken basic physics: So it makes you go faster, faster? You get how that's worse, right?

This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia.
Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.”
Really listen to it.

29 years ago today, Homer Simpson had an epic chili pepper-induced hallucination. “El Viaje Misterioso de Nuestro Jomer” first aired January 5, 1997.
Most of the sequence was animated completely by David Silverman as he wanted it to look exactly as he had imagined it.

Happy new year! My all sky camera imaged the sky every 15 seconds and this picture shows what happened in the sky in 2025. It shows the length of the night and day with the hourglass shape, the monthly lunar cycle with the diagonal bands, the elevation of the Sun at local noon, and lots of clouds.

Jan 4th - When driving back to college, Billy Gambini & Stanley Rothenstein stop for groceries. After they leave, the clerk is robbed and murdered. The "two yutes" were later arrested for the crime.

TIL there's a cool sounding/looking movie from 1977 about faking a Mars landing.
Jan 4th - While on the launch pad ready for take-off, the crew of the #CapricornOne were removed from the spacecraft. The launch then continued, with the public unaware the ship was empty. The crew were later forced to stage a fake Mars landing.

But can anyone tell me what this bit means? “For too long, those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty.”

Alright, I have never heard Mendoza speak prior to this moment watching him post game right now.
He seems...annoyingly polished? If that makes sense?
