  • That’s pretty low for an ambulance ride in the stupidest fucking country, tbh. Probably the actual bill after her insurance company “paid” for $3600 of it.

    This is the scam of health “insurance” in America: you get a bill that’s stupid. Like “on a different planet” stupid. Your insurance colludes with the hospital to pay none of it (but tell you they did) and you get to pay the actual balance. The actual balance is also stupid, but just ordinary stupid.












  • I’m in the “been working with Linux since the 90s” gang so I call vim vi and nano pico and when I started there was a coolness factor to be considered. I was incredibly uncool so I used whatever I wanted, including pico - I mean you used pine for email back in the day and the interface was nearly identical, so whatever.

    But I did want to be at least a tiny bit cooler, so I learned vi in a fairly rudimentary fashion. I can edit, jump, delete, search, replace, copy and paste - oh, and I can exit. I’ve spent so much time using vi, that my brain doesn’t even have to think about exiting, not even whether I want to write or not. It just happens like second nature. It’s actually gotten to where nano seems unduly burdensome to me.

    But really, I prefer an IDE for programming. CLI editors will always be for configuration files and shell scripts to me.
