Last time my son got a flu test it was $180. This time he was sick and school needed a note so I went to the Dr. They asked if I wanted a flu and covid test. I said, "How much will it cost?" Nurse said "I have no way of knowing that."

I said, "No. Unless you tell me how much it will cost." She walked out in a huff to go get the Dr.

How are we supposed to "let the market sort out the cost" when we can't see the cost before the bill?

I had 3 babies and spent $0 on video monitoring. Your baby will be fine. Don't fall for the advertising drama. Babies have been fine for thousands of years with no electronics.

It will get hot quickly.

Diversity is the most stable plan. Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Get food from multiple sources.

All of my subscribed lemmy communities have no new content.

They probably need it because you have an AR15.

He is going after churches next, right? Propaganda to youth and all.

Just run your phone through a free private DNS server and never see an ad again. I use dns.adguard.com.

None of my free apps show any ads on my phone.

No. It not the UI. It is the pick a "Feterated Instance" stuff before you even know what it is. No one knows those words. It should just work for new users. Instances and federation should be presented later.

I wanted to hire a guy and then we found a lie on his resume. He said he had graduated but in fact he had a few weeks left to graduate. He would have the degree by the time he started the position. Our agency wouldn't touch him after that. A lie on the resume was a deal killer.

If he said "Degree expected on " rather than I have a degree he would have the job now.

I like it.

I am new like most of us. When I signed up I had no idea what an instance was. To me the name Lemmy.world sounded like it was more general and therefore would have more content so I picked that one.
