you can absolutely ask the hospital for a good faith estimation.

well it depends.

for major surgeries, no. after you satisfy your deductible, you’re likely to pay a co-insurance on your procedure.

co-insurance is the percentage you’re personally responsible.

so lets say your procedure is billed by hospital for 50,000. and your co-insurance is 20%.

you would be paying 20% of the 48000, so 9600.

up to your “out of pocket maximum”, which can be like 15000 to 30000 or whatever.

if you’ve already paid like 10k already this year then you would just be paying up to 5k for ur cancer treatment.

confusing? yes. fuck health insurance so much.

just throw them away lol

what is considered left is moving left much faster than the policy.

kinda hoping for buried in more than just court cases…

because things can get much much worse? also mail in ballots exist?

not voting doesn’t mean your hands are clean. if the goal is world peace, your choice is Biden, not voting, trump.

this is certainly a take. you honestly think putting republicans in office will show “the people” how bad they are?

I literally don’t think any candidate can be worse than trump. antivaxxers (who are majority repub) died in droves during the pandemic and he won lowa by a landslide.

trump is literally as incompetent as they come. but republicans are incredibly loyal and I don’t believe anything short of the president commiting mass murder will change their minds.

now is not really the time for big brain takes, just vote Biden and get smashed afterwards if you want.

nuh uh, he owes me 100 bucks

for dai, I suggest using ad blocking DNS like adguard. not perfect but it’s easy and painless.

I mean yeah it would be nice but software isn’t perfect and validating html is not a sexy feature.

for content sites, stateless is fine. for web apps you need states of all different kinds. even the smallest detail is a state in an application.

endpoints themselves are stateless, but the web application is stateful. you only have to build the world once, and its much friendlier for end users.

well, no. because broken html can still function sometimes. but most importantly most of html is not even “broken”, just not “adhering to the complete standards”.

html is just formatting around the content. even completely devoid of html you can still see things. we’re not writing latex here and no one cares things are a little fucky.

as far as generated html go, you’re more likely to break it further if you fuck with it anyways.

no, it works. so they’ll do it forever.

the prevalence of iPads with 20,22,25 percent tips for a coffee is having me question the entire practice for sure.

im also seeing reataurants operating server robots now. for those I only tip 10%.

correct on all parts, it pits dasher against customers. also these companies are still not profitable. that should tell you something.

the truth is that the business model just doesn’t work. if you want to pay drivers actual living wages, delivery fees would have to be more than 20 dollars for each order.

you don’t know what you’re talking about do you. why did you even bother typing all this up if you don’t know shit.

the drivers are paid more or less constant and they can see the total payout and mileage. an order that doesn’t have tip attached will slowly increase in payout until a driver takes it. so those orders tend to be slow.

orders do get ignored all the time and people complain about cold food all the time too.

no that is the truth, what it doesn’t tell you is that the drivers are paid like 2.50 to 3 bucks per delivery. so tips makes up the majority of their earnings at this point.

sure now explain the part where he was supposed to be under watch

I want to limit the amount of benefit they can reap.
