Yes, but until then you are parking money that you can actually use to pay for medical bills, unlike a PPO where you pay hundreds of dollars a month just to the insurance company then still need to pay a deductible anyway. Sure, a PPO deductible is lower than an HSA, and your bills should theoretically be lower as well; that’s why I said if you don’t have chronic issues or you don’t get sick often, you might be better off with an HSA. You can always switch to a PPO when the chronic issues start.

For example. In my first year at my job, I chose PPO. I was paying $400 a month. The only medical stuff I did for the year was visit a specialist twice at $35 a visit. Even if I was on an HSA and paid full price for the doctor visits, it would still be cheaper than the $4800 I paid on my PPO for the year. If I was on an HSA back then, I would’ve paid only $50 a month. If I had the same budget, then I could’ve put the rest of the $350 into an HSA tax free, and I can actually use it to pay medical bills. Also, my employer puts in $1000 for free into my HSA, so that’s an automatic $1000 less on my deductible.

Lmao how does moving the content moderation team from CA to TX remove bias.

It depends though. If you are relatively healthy with no chronic issues (yet) and have enough saved for an emergency, it can save you a good amount of tax-free money that you can use for when you get older and sicker. That and the monthly premium is much lower than a PPO. Obviously universal healthcare is still the best option.

Some people who like to drink tea after a meal are fine with just sipping hot water if tea isn’t available.

At this point, you’re better off going for the lunch specials at an asian restaurant. Same price, more filling, and less unhealthy.

I usually prefer AP, Reuters, and PBS. I’m sure there is still some bias somewhere, but at least they strive to report just news straight up without injecting opinion.

I don’t read through nor comment on youtube videos at all. I just watch what I want/need to watch and close the window after. It’s not a good place or format for proper discussion so it’s never going to be a good experience. A proper place for discussion would be forum type formats with nested threads, like here on Lemmy. If you are still willing to read reddit comments instead, there’s a browser extension that replaces youtube comments with reddit comments. I don’t know how it works because I haven’t tried it myself, but that’s an option.

The one where you can only jump forward, not backward. It avoids the common paradoxes.

Don’t skimp on the things that connect you to the ground and invest in good quality ones. Shoes, bed, couch, office chair, and tires.

I think sports is where it’s most common. People who weren’t born rich but had the genes, drive, and luck to get into the sport in the first place can get pretty rich when they get to the highest level of competition.

Watching other people play (computer) games. I get watching live competitive matches like e-sports. It’s watching the solo gamer on twitch that I don’t understand why it’s entertaining.

Going to concerts. It’s too loud and it’s crowded,

I go to seated events and wear loudness-reducing earplugs, so that solves both issues. If it’s a standing-only concert, I stay at the side areas to avoid the crowd. As for the appeal, I just want see the artist perform the songs I like live. I listen to technical music so it’s awesome to see musical skill up close.

Same, I put my phone at chin level so I’m not blocking the person behind me. I also record only 1 minute max, just as a memento that I was there at that show.

The guy who invented vaccines.

I walk around the house with a swiffer mop before I take a shower. Then vaccum the carpets in the rooms once a week. Showering is usually the trigger to do some sort of maintenance cleaning in the house. My logic is that if I’m gonna get dirty, I’ll do it before I shower.

Have you been to any appsec conferences last year? It was all API security. This year it was all AI-leveraged CI/CD, code/vulnerability review, etc.

I was referring mostly about security conferences. Last year almost every vendor was selling API security products. Now it’s all AI infused products.

Yup, you can see it in talks on annual tech conferences. Last year it was APIs, this year it’s all AI. They’ll just move on to the next trendy thing next year.

I assume because people follow topics on lemmy, unlike microblogging where people have to follow each other to interact (one-to-many vs one-to-one). So it’s easier to interact with many people that you don’t necessarily had to be following prior, which increases the chances of interacting with more people.
