Ooh! Time to give it another look.

The ACA is a massive bill that affects basically every part of healthcare in the US. That being said, here are some of the major parts that affect people who get their coverage through their employer:

  1. Minimum coverage standards - The ACA sets minimums about what must be covered by employer insurance, including drugs, procedures, family planning and mental health care.
  2. No lifetime caps - Before the ACA insurers could set a lifetime cap on how much they would pay out for any individual. This meant that people who had long term chronic or very expensive medical needs would get kicked off their insurance eventually and have to figure something else out. Or, more likely, either go into massive medical debt or forego care, or both.
  3. Pre-existing coverage - Before the ACA insurers could choose not cover issues that you got before you signed up with that insurer. So, again, if you had a chronic condition and changed jobs, you could lose all coverage for those treatments.

There is probably a lot more, but those are the big ones for most people.

Where do you live that you have a $600 mortgage?!???

“That that” can and probably should be replaced with “that which” in almost every instance it is used.

Edit: or “when that”

I’ve left two jobs because they were toxic. I always had something else lined up beforehand though.

The two types of semiconductors. N-types have a slight excess of electrons, allowing them to move freely and P-types have a slight lack of electrons, effectively making freely moving electron “holes”. By sandwiching them next to each other, you can create diodes and bi-polar junction transistors.

And as we all know, bi-trans is an important part of queerdom.

Source: has a degree in electrical engineering. And is bi.
Edit: not cool enough to be trans though.

This is the meet cute for a bi rom com, right?

I know that’s supposed to be a jokey edgy comment but advanced planning is really important for those you leave behind. They will absolutely appreciate it if you have done the basics of estate planning (will, advance directives, digital account planning) so that it’s not one more burden during one of their most difficult time in life.

No, because Hackers is too awesome to be bad.

I don’t know, I find it way easier to find a bi sub than a bi dom.

I doubt it will get that far, but discovery in this case would be fantastic.
