They’re probably not the most “real” of foods, but those Trader Joe’s ice cream sandwiches taste delicious and I love them.

Yeah, I’m with you there!

That’s actually a myth (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_customer_is_always_right). Almost every “the full quote is actually…” is something made up decades if not centuries after the more widely known quote.

SSNs are not reissued after death and never have been. I’ve been seeing a lot of people comment this, but I’m not sure where they’re getting it from. (They’re not unique for other reasons, however.)

And your dog sitter just leaves it like that for an entire week, clumps and all.

A giant IUD?

Does anyone find trackpads like this usable on small laptops?

Personally, I don’t think they should make laptops bigger than 13", and the laptops 13" and smaller really benefit from the mouse buttons being above the trackpad rather than below, and those trackpoint nubs actually become really nice.

Recently I was told I probably need medication for that fact I’m worried about ten million different things happening right now, but like, surely my fears are entirely rational and justified???

This is a real incident ticket I saw:

Subject: “broken” Description: “website down”

Given that the website was in fact not down, and they included no details, and they must have been filing it on behalf of someone else as their user-id didn’t have an account at all (it is an internal corporate product), this was a real head scratcher.

Imagine having anything about yourself figured out by the time you hit 30.

Just scrolling through shorts on a given day, I’m usually recommended at least one short by someone infamously hostile to the LGBTQIA+ community. I get that it could be from people with my interests hate-watching, but I don’t want to be shown any of it. (Nearly all of my YouTube subscriptions are to LGBTQIA+ creators. I’m not subscribed to anyone who has ever even mentioned support for right leaning policies on anything.)

I was too lazy to set up an outfit with her, so I’m still rocking Glitch.

I love the duckie!

… 3.

Yeah, good point.

I actually figured that the coverage for gender affirming care is one of the least awful things about UHC. That said I guess I’m not surprised about it initially not being covered.

Edit: actually hold on, my benefits guide definitely used to say something about them paying for travel to a safe state for care and even some hotel nights being covered, but I don’t see that anymore…

He’s been the CEO of UnitedHealth Group for 3 years now. UnitedHealth Care is a subsidiary, their CEO was the one shot. Best I can tell they haven’t announced a replacement yet.

Felt it like a hundred miles inland too. Really deep slow rumbles here.

It was a quote from the TV show Scrubs about Arnold Palmer.

Kinda, yeah.
