  • Even knowing they're separate it's still confusing. Like why those two things?

    I haven't made my own sausages in a bit though and really thinking about tika masala hot dogs

  • Being inside yes, darkness, no. And that's straight from my eye doc when I asked about reading by the campfire.

    Believe me, I've stared into the abyss plenty outside. Actually staring into the distance in darkness is a suggested exercise to relieve eye strain from screens.

  • A quarter of AI datacenter capacity could just mine Bitcoin while billing the customers, and no one would notice.

  • I haven't done the math, but you are forgetting the massive tax breaks for "job creation" and subsidizing the energy cost across the population around you. That's gotta help the profitability

  • What the hell is a yoghurt hot dog?

    Is that like a tika masala hot dog? I could throw down with that

  • Just about any of the Intel N series minipcs are often suggested for just Jellyfin. I haven't looked at them too much yet.

  • Brad Lynch: "Valve is receiving a ton of “Game Consoles” these past couple weeks in their USA distribution warehouse."

  • I think their plans got thrown out the window with said RAM and hard drive issues and now they're just trying to make it work.

  • Nazis, slavers, and unrepentant pedophiles mostly.

  • What's a band or artist you wish you could see, but they never make it to your area?

  • They have shows scheduled in Canada and the UK. Could look into those?

  • Ticketmaster doesn't own any venues, their parent company Live Nation does. Live Nation does own many of the venues in the largest areas (1 in 20, but they have partial control of more). Ticketmaster's exclusivity deals covers another 65% to 85% of the market (no one really knows and was hoping this would come more to light during the congressional hearing).

    Artists literally have no choice here. If they want to go where people actually are and be heard, they can't escape Ticketmaster.

    Also, Garth Brooks? That's your example here? The guy who wrote a letter to Congress this year defending Ticketmaster as this stand up company who cares about ticket pricing and the fans? Yeah he's said some things against surge pricing but he is definitely not anti Ticketmaster.

  • I want to say $300? I haven't looked in forever since it gets auto deducted from my check. Not like I can reduce it much. That does also include my wife too at least.

  • I think that hatred is better projected at all the venues signing exclusivity deals with Ticketmaster so that other companies can't compete and the politicians allowing the monopoly. Taylor Swift was actually partnered with a competitor to Ticketmaster, AEG, but AEG couldn't sell the tickets due to the mentioned exclusivity deals and had to post them through Ticketmaster.

    Or are you saying all artists should stop touring? Because that would kill off so many of them as they can't afford to live off streaming and record sales due to corporate fat cats keeping too much at the record labels

  • Just to complete the comic. I'm in the US. I spend about $90 on a regular yearly checkup. Spent $218 to get seen to get something prescribed for a three week cough I had that was getting worse (plus another $68 or so for the meds themselves).

    Several of my friends are jealous of my health insurance because I've got the good one that covers more. Please shoot me.

  • What's a scam that's so normalized that we don't even realize it's a scam anymore?

  • And I do data analysis for a hospital chain (spent time today figuring out what percent of people in our hospital system are underinsured in different risk categories such as tobacco cigarette smokers and such). Your point about being a statistician means nothing.

    So you can calculate p-values big whoop. You're absolutely not using terms the way the average person does in my day to day in industry and conflating them. I've been all over those Wikipedia pages plenty.

    Try again.

  • No forget insurance altogether. Socialized health care is absolutely not a form of insurance. That's not what any of those words mean.

    You might be thinking of single payer healthcare but that's not what I'm arguing for. It feels like you've got a very high school level understanding of words and are trying to discuss concepts without understanding the distinction and mashing things together. Just because things might have a few overlapping points doesn't make them the same thing. That's not how language works.

    A government run system, of which only two exist that I know of, the NHS and IHS (Indian healthcare system for native Americans), are not insurance. They aren't a pooling of risk, they're a taxpayer paid service. It's a complete flip from what insurance is. Just because they have to pool taxpayer money to fund it does not make it insurance.

  • Or maybe we do away with the insurance all together and treat medical care as the public service it should be yeah?

  • Or maybe we stop treating everything as a money printing thing and instead as taking care of the population around us? The money is there, we just need to stop bombing girl's schools in Iran or building a golden shrine to Fuhrer Trump.

    We shouldn't have fucking health insurance or dental insurance period.
