I was a member for about 5 years. Our group joined because health insurance through the AMA was cheaper than we could find elsewhere. We left about 10 years ago. I still get an "invoice" for membership dues (about $1400, irrc) about three times a year, even though I've not been a member for at least 10 years.

If you need a Facebook portal in the bathroom while taking a dump, you've got some deep underlying issues.

He's just brown-nosing to royalty.

Me: Your honor, it was an accident that I ran over my EX. It was not intentional. Judge: Mr. Improv.. sir.... you ran over her, backed up over her and ran over her again.

@george-k said in Cheap Windows: @klaus said in Cheap Windows: Why would anyone use such a laptop instead of an Android- or iOS-based tablet with keyboard? A followup to that question is why would anyone use a Chromebook? The cheapest iPad is $329, and a keyboard case will run another $80 or so. Perhaps that's the reason? I've never quite understood the reason for Chrome OS as an OS different from Android.

So glad he reached out.

Wood is cut and stacked, ready to go.

A finer encomium would be hard to find. My best-ever manager was a cook who was at the time a CIA student. Absolutely, completely mad. But knew his shit in the kitchen. I use what he taught me every day, and I think of the mad bastard every time I pick up a kitchen knife.

Interesting @ george.

Another courageous and principled stand from our departed POTUS. Never afraid to say something that might lose him some friends, but which is simply the right thing to say.

Google Nest Wifi has been good for me. I've had to reset it maybe 2 times in the last 3 years. Performance is ok. It switches seamlessly across access points. The administration is easy.

Out of the box. I see what you did there.

@larry said in Worth 10¢: It's the same psychology that causes big ticket items to be priced at 3999 instead of 4000 dollars. That last dollar causes the first number to go from 3 to 4, so even though everyone is aware that it's only a dollar, it feels like a thousand. Yup. LOL On similar story, I was reading about if someone is buying a bag of noodles for USD$10, and the exact same bag is for sale a block away for USD$9, many/most people will go the extra block to save the USD$1 But it someone is buying a fancy dress, and it is USD $476 in one store and the exact same dress in a store one block away is USD$475, most people would not get the extra block to save that one dollar. Human thinking is very interesting.
