I had this for 2025 thru Surest. It was pitched to us as “having skin in the game” and “shopping for the lowest-priced provider.” No, I want to go to *my* clinic and keep records with one entity! I’m not shopping around when I feel like shit (luckily acute illness, nothing serious, but STILL!)
Roger Marshall: "We want patients to become consumers again. We want patients to see what the actual prices are. We believe that if we would add the price tags to this bill, that it would save the country a trillion dollars a year."

It rained on me on the last mile of my trip home from Costco. There’s a 33 lbs bag of Traeger pellets in that box on the rear rack.
Holy crap is it humid out there, too. My phone says 77% humidity.

It’s been great seeing all the bikes being used as transportation while in the twin cities area these last few days. Also used the light rail to get to the art fair. I can get to a lot by bike from home, but not nearly as easily as it seems to be for MPLS/StP folks.

Rotated the tires on my bike. I’ve nearly jumped out of my skin each time the tire bead pops into place while re-inflating.

Had to copy some “Disclaimer” text into a work project and immediately read it like the first track on The Offspring’s album Ixnay on the Hombre. My brain is pickled in dated references.

I went looking for the AC adapter for my muscle roller and could NOT find it. Saw a cord with a similar end but it didn’t fit. I’m tearing my house apart trying to find this damn cord. Finally realized the black box labeled “CHARGER INSIDE” was what I needed. It was right next to the power strip

I really wish tv writers would do a basic search of geography. It’s jarring to hear “they’re headed north on I-90” when they’re supposedly in rural Nebraska.
- even-numbered interstates run east-west
- I-90 doesn’t go through Nebraska.
I get that it’s not crucial to the arch of the story.

This is amazing! While I am frustrated by the goings-on of the past week, I hope that voters there were connecting this chaos to Rs and voting against the party.
