  • unauthorized end-to-end encryption.

  • copy the headline and find the same thing free somewhere else. usually it's a news site full of unreadable slop. pay walls used to be almost worth bypassing. no more. just another money grab, pretending to protect valuable information. not

  • never read the 'wall of text'. that's for the bots

  • it was complicated moving the number since they only accept mobile numbers. had to move to a burner AT&T phone, then to google voice. been 20 years so far. nothing but spam there now. you can pick from available numbers. maybe VPN would work. expect google will just end the service one day. https://voice.google.com/

  • US is pulling out of Syria so probably just relocating south

  • they destroyed landlines with constant auto-dialing calls. when you pick up they either play a recording or in early days switch to a live scammer in a boiler-room somewhere. i moved my landline to google voice and silence is golden. get emailed transcripts of talking or it's a few seconds of silence. brave new world

  • what? actual human calling? sounds like something an ai would say.

  • wouldn't let that nerd fix a paper jam. visionary hallucinations. by that logic we should all die so ai might live cheaper. amen

  • don't know all the details. fyi basically. i forget where i saw the same site mentioned for the same thing. don't call me bro Bro

  • have insurance with allstate because it's cheaper rate. hail damaged the entire neighborhood, 20 houses on two separate days. every other house on my street got 2 new roofs a month before allstate quit dragging their feet and released funds to do mine once. i paid my nephew extra to make it a metal roof and made allstate give me a discount. pay for itself and last long after i'm dead. peace of mind until you have to jump through hoops to make them do what you paid for.

  • big insurers have millions of your neighbors paying 20/month. all i know is, 'the house always wins'. they are swimming in cash. my dad used to sell car insurance. when cards became mandatory, he had an influx of 'card buyers'. pay one month and get a card. stop paying. because they bet the odds of getting fined for no card were a lot better than odds of getting in a wreck. house wins, sells you 'uninsured motorist' coverage. people gamble on many things. insurance is good when you win. they lose when you win so deny, depose ... I don't know the answer. just try to hedge bets and look for ways to break even for all us non-greedy shmoes. i don't like most insurance co.'s greed. have insurance as required and savings also. i'd never pay for extended warranty on something under $10k. that's some easy bets for them.

  • some are worse than others. I've noticed going to a prompt care is much faster than going to 'emergency room'. depends a lot on location and how busy they are that day. i haven't been seen w/o insurance since 70s when i broke my hand in a fight. doubt they ever got paid for that cast.

  • i'll bet you and all your neighbors 100/mo, your house won't burn down this month. send payments on time or else. Meanwhile, i lend you your money to pay for your mortgage with interest. have some more Kool-Aid.

  • i'm glad the medical side tries to stay focused on patient care. i've a friend in Mexico where they check ability to pay before any treatment begins. she was bleeding out and they waited until after her card was verified before doing anything. lower costs, maybe. One thing that being married to an RN has taught me, the billing department sends insanely inflated bills which are step 1 in their insurance negotiation. I got a bill for over $600,000, I laughed while still in the hospital bed. bill got negotiated down to $150,000. Even if there is a ginormous bill, you can postpone threatened collections by sending them anything, like $10/month. it will reset their billing escalation cycle. debts more than 7 years old will get written off. if all else fails, bankruptcy isn't all that bad. shuffle assets to trusted family. the amount of money they waste on greedy negotiations far eclipses any actual cost for treatment. don't stress over the bills. stress kills. let some fat lawyer worry about not getting a new car this year.
