This.

And don't forget that just because your health insurance approved a medication, medical device, procedure, or other service, it doesn't mean that they'll actually pay for it.
Photo of a portion of an approval letter from health insurance, black text on white paper, which reads: This approval does not guarantee that the plan will pay for the service. Other plan rules apply to claims payment. You are responsible for deductibles, coinsurance, copayments, and items not covered by the plan. Before getting services, it's a good idea to check your provider's network status and cost of service. Coverage for these services is subject to the terms and conditions of your health benefit plan including exclusions, limitations, conditions, and patient eligibility. Payment is based on the submitted claim, the actual health care services you received, your plan benefit language when services are received, and other plan rules, including coordination of benefits. If required by your plan, your primary care provider must send an electronic referral before you see a specialist. If you see a specialist without a referral, you might pay the full cost of services.

This is the kind of thing that makes people make ridiculous code / spreadsheets, or be lazy and crash a rover into Mars.
Snip from 2 Excel Workbooks and one from Office Libre Calc, lined up right next to each other so you can see the formula in the formula bar and the result. The first Excel file has the formula "cos(radians(90))", showing the result as 6.13E-17. The second Excel file has the formula "sin(radians(90+90))", showing the result as 1.22515E-16. The Libre Calc file has the formulas "cos(radians(90))". showing the result as 6.12323E-17. For reference, the result for all 3 formulas should be 0.

Screenshot of gameplay of Expedition 33. Gustave, a medium build white male with wavy dark brown hair has his back turned to the camera, standing at the edge of a cliff. He's wearing a dark jacket with golden trim with the sleeve rolled up, showing his prosthetic left arm. In the foreground, you can see some leaves, framing the shot. Off to the right and a bit in the distance are a couple of waterfalls. Below the cliff, separating this spot from the final goal in the distance, there's a large canyon filled with blue & gray smoke and floating debris. In the far distance, with what appears to be numerous hills, is the monolith with the yellow "33" painted on it. There are numerous large floating rocks in the sky above the monolith, seeming to point at it.

Lego Lotus Flowers (2 pink flowers, one open, and one closed, and a white flower that's open) are on top of the keyboard of a grey laptop with a black and dark gray background. The corner of a monitor can also be seen.

Me, nearly having to go to the ER because of a tubing failure: 😑
Image of a insulin pump cartridge (a black rectangle with clear plastic on the top) with a small, clear tube broken off from its connection to more clear plastic tubing that connects to an infusion set. Lack of insulin (because the tubing is broken) leads to hyperglycemia, which can lead to needing to go to the emergency room.

Life goal: having people *NOT* react this way when I mention hobbies outside of work.
Screenshot from "The Oblivious Saint Can't Contain Her Power: Forget My Sister! Turns Out I Was the Real Saint All Along!" Vol 2 prepub from J-Novel, reading: Prince Edward's fork slipped from his grasp and clattered to the floor. "What...did you just say?! Y-You have priorities...outside of work?!" "Has hell frozen over...?" I whispered under my breath, equally stunned.

But then I discovered this one, and realized the title fits much better here.
Sticker from Microsoft OneNote titled "Cat in a litter box". It has white cat with the tip of its tail and one of its ears orange, wearing a blue shirt with a white collar and with a red tie. The cat has its eyes closed while standing in the litter box. There is a small poop visible in the litter box, which the cat is burying.

I sent this one to some friends and titled it "take my shit. I made it, just for you"
Sticker from Microsoft OneNote titled "Cat with a hairball". It has white cat with the tip of its tail and one of its ears orange, wearing a blue shirt with a white collar and with a red tie with its tongue sticking out, but looks happy about it. The cat has coughed up a hairball.

Today I discovered that OneNote has stickers (but not emojis), and my meeting notes for work are going to be amazing.

Look at what I can add to my notes now
Sticker from Microsoft OneNote titled "Cat in dog suit". It has white cat wearing tan dog Kigurumi with a little name badge going "woof woof".

I have a big design review tomorrow, which, of course, means that I'm busy messing around in power point making silly images instead of actually updating slides.

saw this on the borb ap, but haven't seen anyone mention it here -

FYI for clips in discord - the default for "Allow my voice to be recorded in Clips" is "yes" .

To turn it off, go to User Settings > Clips > "Allow my voice to be recorded in Clips", which is down at the bottom on desktop.
Screenshot from the User Settings screen in Discord (desktop mode) The "Clips" option has a star added next to it to highlight where it is in the list (8th option down on the left). There is also a star added next to the toggle to turn on/off the "Allow my voice to be recorded in Clips", which is the last option on the right. The description under this option reads "By turning on this setting, your voice may be included when someone in the same voice channel uses Clips." In this screenshot, the toggle is showing "off" for this setting.
