Just put me in a Folgers can. Just because we’re bereaved doesn’t make us saps!

Any Intel CPU 8th gen or newer with quick sync can do like 20 simultaneous 1080p transcodes. You could get a Celeron and have a powerful plex box. Look up guides for the HP 290 as a starting place.

Do you trust a company that is required to provide profit to their shareholders by providing you the least possible amount of healthcare?

Health insurance in the US is very complicated. It’s a feature, not a bug. They don’t want you to use it.

Oh, but government death panels. Have you ever had to get a pre-authorization for care that would save your life? Or had a claim denied because that one person that was in the operating room while you were under anesthesia was out of network? Yeah, it’s actually corporate death panels.

UnitedHealth Group - $88 billion in profit last year.

You sound like a real joy to work with.

Yeah, so is everyone else. I’m trying to buy a house and keep getting beat by cash. I’ve lived here my whole life and am getting priced out. I wish the twin cities were still a bit under the radar. Maybe people will move back after their first winter.

A law was recently passed allowing up to 35k from a 529 to be rolled into a Roth IRA in the beneficiary’s name, so that could be an option. There are some stipulations but it’s better than it going to waste.

Outer Wilds. I’m stuck but I don’t want to look up how to advance the story because of spoilers so every once and a while I fire it up and go explore but I’ve largely put it down. Should I go looking for what to do next?

Lutron is great if you have an old home like I do because of the wall mountable remotes. I’ve added lamp dimmers and 3 way switches in multiple spots in my house where I’d otherwise have to do a bunch of rewiring. The bummer about them is that since the buttons are flat they can be hard to find in the dark.

This is my new account because vlemmy went caput. The 401k loan would be need to be paid off by next tax season as far as I understand. That’s a non issue because the loan would be paid immediately after the sale of our home anyway. If I get laid off before we close on our new home then we don’t close and I repay the loan. There’s no situation where the loan would be outstanding.

If the Bolt/EUV fits your use case it is an unmatched value. I love mine so much. I hope they make an Ultium version by the time I’m ready for a new car.

Teeth (2007). What the actual fuck.

We’re house shopping and there has been a house on a lake sitting on the market forever. I got curious and researched the lake and… It’s a literal superfund site. The company that was on the other side of the lake just dumped their waste chemicals right on the shore and it has polluted both the lake and ground water forever essentially because they don’t break down. I looked up the previous owner… Died of cancer. The shit that companies are and were allowed to get away with is just insane. Meanwhile right wing nut jobs want to get rid of the EPA (which was ironically created by Richard Nixon).
