This is pretty dang useful information.
Why the hell did insurance deny my treatments, a guide to understanding the American health insurance claims system.

In this thread I will explain how the claims system actually works in my experience as a former health insurance employee, what you can do about it, and when you need a lawyer.

Every time I feel bad about contributing to never-going-to-done (or started) Megatokyo VN, I think of the poor Star Citizen people and am thankful that I learned my valuable lesson before this came around.

Democrats' current coalition is so broad as to be unsustainable in the long term - it contains everyone to the right of DPRK tankies, all the way over to Liz Cheney - but as long as the GOP keeps putting up Mark Robinsons and Kari Lakes they're not really capable of splintering that coalition.
Post-Trump, the whole left-right thing feels remarkably silly at the moment tbh 😬

I'm on team "Nuke the GOP from orbit. Then nuke the ashes just to be safe. Then salt the earth so it can't grow back." even though I have a generally dim view of many pre-Trump D governing impulses
Not sure how @kenwhite.bsky.social, @andycraig.bsky.social, @wlknsn.xyz, @jacobtlevy.bsky.social, @gregdoucette.bsky.social identify at this point with respect to the left-right axis, but I definitely appreciate listening to Niskanen-adjacent civil libertarians.

Like a "management culture" thing I've seen happen on multiple occassions is that they come in and see there's some informal workflow among workers that's not tracked or documented. So naturally they start tracking and documenting it. And then once tracked, demand the numbers go higher.

“I was mediating disputes in alt.toys.transformers while you were in diapers,” is just too sad a thing for me to admit to anyone.
I was on a Wheel of Time Usenet group back in the 90's where at least half of the posts were fighting about emacs/vi. Like... no. Just stop.
