So we have a ghost tabby (void). She’s licensed through the city as “Fluffy Butt of the North”. Yes, she was named after Tina and GoT

Gotcha… And just for funsies, how much money (taxpayer money) have we spent on say… failing banks? I’d say investing zero tax payer dollars to “save” AM radio is a better investment.

And if AM is removed from cars (AM’s biggest listening base) it will die. If AM radio dies, then the hand crank emergency radio will have no use. Much like the portable UHF/VHF television.

My cell phone and FM radios won’t work after an EMP. AM will be the first “broadcast signal” to return in such a worst case scenario.

So like a Robot Chicken sketch that goes on for far too long?

OnlyCats… It exists.

Right, it’s just the side-bar makes the distinction between “online services” and “self-hosted” so I wasn’t sure.

A place to share alternatives to popular_ online services_ that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don’t control.

VPS is self-hosted?

Check out Woot! Right now they’ve got Win10/111 Pro for $20.99 or Home for $18.99. Not sure what that converts to for Euros, but I’m confident it comes out less than 150 of them.

I firmly believe that this information (but for porn) would increase adoption of the software being advertised.

That was a good 20 years ago. They actually sold cat calendars and merch. The trick was to spell it out for the customer very slowly until the cats dot com. Then it would load and we’d both get a chuckle.

I used to refer customers (when I did ISP support) to LiveNudeCats.com to test their internet.

OnlyCats…

The giant weed cloud that follows me around was a dead giveaway.

Said they’d have to “look into it”. Called back 20 minutes later to inform that they decided to approve the procedure.

Then I’m full of shit and my wife’s reverse shoulder joint is a figment of our collective imaginations.

Swap you can of tuna with salmon, but don’t tell yourself.

I speak from experience. Blue Cross has not argued or denied any of our doctors’ requests since the second time I used that method.
Had a specialist tell my wife she needed a shoulder replacement. Insurance wanted her to do physical therapy. I was livid. “I want the license number of the doctor on your end who is deciding that physical therapy is going to some how magically fix torn rotator cuff tendons. Telling our medical specialist that physical therapy is required is a medical decision that contradicts their diagnosis that it needs replaced. If we follow your recommendation and it fails, I need the name and license number of who to go after for making that decision. Shielding this professional, and I use that term loosely, indicates that you’re willing to assume all the liability when “physical therapy” causes more pain and damage.”

LPT: If your doctor firmly believes that you require X treatment/medication/etc. Have them use the specific term “medically necessary”. If your insurer kicks it back with that phrasing attached, contact them. Ask for the medical license number of the doctor who indicated that it was not medically necessary. Push for this information (they won’t have it) and continue the line of “Someone on your end is making a medical decision against my doctors orders. I require their credentials so I can confirm they are a) qualified to make medical decisions, and b) have a higher education that my doctor possesses.”

Time to sacrifice a robot and dial-up the BBS to see what’s fresh.
