    That...blows my mind. Wow.

    It sounds like you have left the hospital though - if so, I am really glad you are doing better. That situation sounds terrifying. When I started reading I thought maybe from a dental procedure - I never considered it could happen from cheek biting. That's good information to have.

    This is fair. I think the prices I am most annoyed by are for the pregnancy test and the ondansetron. But you're right, I am very glad it wasn't something serious (especially since they ruled out a kidney stone - that's not something I want to deal with again lol). The one thing I am grateful for is that I don't have to pay before they will help. I don't think it's like that everywhere and it's definitely not like that for my pets either, which I could also spend time complaining about but I will refrain lol

    No~~body~~ kidney wants to work anymore I do have government funded insurance so I will pay less than $200. Which I will only be able to afford if I pass Go. ![Itemized hospital bill from the emergency room in the US. Listed are various services including IV, medications, and imaging. The costs range from $5 for an antinausea tablet to $500 for a pregnancy test and almost $7000 for a CT scan.](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/362b3411-3a8a-4f7d-95c4-91bd2c33f41a.png)

    I would love to know also. They are all spoken here for sure (quite a large population of people who speak the languages I listed) but what confuses me is the area codes are usually not my region for these calls.

  • I get wrong numbers all the time in other languages. I only speak English fluently. The languages I studied previously were mainly in writing so speaking other languages is quite intimidating for me. Top languages in my area: Spanish (mainly Mexico and Puerto Rico), Vietnamese, Korean, and Russian. I've also encountered Igbo, Yoruba, Arabic, and Haitian Creole. Learning how to say something like "I only speak English" would be helpful as well. I did find this website but I have no way of knowing how accurate it is: https://www.indifferentlanguages.com/words/wrong_number

    Yeah but it used to not be ignored so now me and this random person with my name basically share an email address. We don't get each other's emails all that often somehow. We first chatted years ago when I got an important email for a job she applied for (soon after they started ignoring the dots), and she seemed decent so I didn't change it. Definitely a huge risk but here we are.

    Did mine a few weeks ago. The only part I'm stuck on is OneDrive, which I unfortunately need. I got access to my personal files but not the shared files. The other part is I still need to download all of my mods...which I am not looking forward to 😆 but let me just say it is so nice to have a computer that actually works! It's older so it was getting impossibly slow.

    Between Linux and the new IRS software I am feeling spoiled.

    I was on Artemis and then Jerboa and now Thunder (probably a few others in between).

    Artemis was going to be great but is no more, sadly.

    Jerboa I just couldn't like. I think my biggest issue when I was using it was you could only search for community names? I can't remember exactly I just remember the difficulty searching was the last straw for me.

    Thunder is great. I don't think I have any complaints. It works as I need it to and probably has a bunch of features that I don't use. It's pretty new still so I'm trying not to get too attached lol but it's updated pretty regularly, commenting works well, it allows you to preview before posting. Search seems to work great. I guess the only issue is the delay in notifications? Not really an issue for me but I guess if you're having a more immediate conversation in the comments it might be.

  • Hello, I have never lived in a snowy place. Where I am now we usually get enough ice to make it slick and it shuts the region down. We live in the center of the country so depending where exactly we end up we probably won't have an entire mountain to drive over...probably. I am moving to be either in Denver area or Minneapolis area. What do I do with our cars? I have a small 4WD SUV (I don't know how to drive in areas that actually require 4WD). Our other car is a slightly larger SUV. Both have pretty low clearance. We currently have all season tires. Do we need to get special tires or chains? How do I learn to drive with the chains? Also, does everyone just have 2 sets of tires laying around? What about vehicle fluids? IIRC viscosity is different in different climates, is that just oil I'd need to worry about? And are you supposed to heat your car or whatever? I know they do that in super cold places but not sure about Minneapolis. The areas we are looking at are in and around the major cities, although if we end up in Minnesota there's a chance we will be in a more rural area or in a place where we need to drive a long distance because housing is expensive. If anyone knows how much longer we have to get there before the roads become treacherous this winter that would be helpful. I think we have til end of September to be safe, is that usually true? Any other tips are much welcomed and appreciated. I don't really have anyone I can ask and the internet is pretty full of AI BS now.

    Hello! I recently found my old Garmin 1300LMT and it still works great! The suction cup is strong as ever. I'm very impressed considering it's been in the car for years enduring heat and cold. Obviously the maps are probably 10 years old though, so navigating isn't exactly accurate in some places. Is there a way to update just the maps themselves? I know the newer updates have larger files, but I really don't want to change how the navigation works or add any extra features (I find newer GPS to be very annoying with giving wrong directions or repeating a step 10x in a row). Thank you 😃

    Probably about once a month I drive past these protestors at a fertility clinic. They are always protesting abortion and saying how so many babies die there. This particular clinic does not perform abortions at all. Ever. It never has. Today one of their signs also said "babies are orphanized here." What does that even mean? Do they think parents are killed there? Or is it because people leave their embryos stored there? Do they also think babies are "orphanized" at hospitals when a parent leaves their room to go to the cafeteria? I just can't understand these people.

    Hello, I am trying to run Win98 games using Retroarch 1.19.1 on Android 14. I am trying to play either Restaurant Empire or Roller Coaster Tycoon currently, but am also interested in other games from that time. I have looked at other sites which recommend using DosBox-Pure. I have also tried the core and SVN versions. Nothing happens in the core and SVN versions except to say that the file cannot be run in Dos mode. When using Pure, roller coaster tycoon shows a list of exe files, but restaurant empire doesn't register any exe files. If I try to start any of roller coaster tycoon's files it says that it cannot be run in Dos mode. Other sites said you have to install Win98 SE, which I tried but can't seem to get it to work on Android, even though there are some folks that were able to make it happen. I got it to the screen where it says to continue with setup press enter, but when I press enter on the onscreen keyboard nothing happens (esc does nothing either). Here are the links where I got the iso files: * [Restaurant Empire](https://archive.org/details/Enlight_Restaurant_Empire_Win98_2003_Eng) * [Roller Coaster Tycoon](https://archive.org/details/Roller_Coaster_Tycoon_Hasbro_Interactive_1999) * [Windows 98 SE](https://archive.org/details/windows-98-se-retail) I also downloaded the boot disc from the Win98 link (the 7z file) but it says no executable file found. I am not super knowledgeable about retro gaming so any assistance is helpful. (I have had success with a few games using other cores within Retroarch as well as the Dolphin emulator)

    Hello, I noticed that everytime I go to a mechanic or someone new gets in my car, the bluetooth autoconnects to their phone. How can I restrict access? I tried to look it up but could only find how to turn bluetooth off completely. Along the same lines, does anyone happen to know how to restrict my phone from auto connecting to various cars? I thought they had to ask. My car is a 2019 Nissan Rogue and my phone is a Pixel 8 with Android 14.

Specifically, the values listed have been enumerated for clarity and the specific symbols used as warning symbols have not been explicitly described. Additionally, some of the text formatting has not been carried over in this description. For example, the title (VOTER ALERT) is in large white text over a red banner at the top of the flier. It is my hope that leaving these particular descriptions out will aid in understanding the flier itself; however, should anyone prefer a description of these formatting choices I will be glad to attempt it.

    DAE have problems with ACH transactions at Amplify Credit Union? Since I opened my account a few months ago I have had so many problems - Amplify being unable to send me their own security codes, third parties not recognizing the bank or its routing number, and inability to complete ACH transactions. The most recent issue is that a third party recognizes the bank, but says "there was a problem processing" the transaction. Luckily I have an account at a different bank and was able to pay them. What can I do to get this resolved? I see a lot of good reviews for the bank but haven't seen any reports of this issue, but surely it can't be just me? Did I make a mistake opening this account with them?

    More health than fitness but I couldn't find a could place to ask. Basically, I'm not sure where to start with all of this. All of these are from my physicians due to various health conditions I have. I know I need to ramp up to them. All of these are per day. Also, I'm really looking for ideas, not medical advice, but just fyi I will definitely be presenting a plan to my doc to make sure it works in the context of my medical stuff. - 150g protein (currently I don't think I even eat 30g) - 10g salt (no idea how much I eat but I take 1.5g salt tablets per day and my family historically doesn't eat much salt) - 4-5L fluids (I might drink about 1L...maybe. I can use high water content foods to achieve this goal) - Increase brushing to 2x with electric toothbrush (currently use a manual one) - Floss 1-2x (i suck at this one) - Waterpik (i never do this) - Low intensity exercise 2-3 min (not a typo...will increase later) (in a former life I did a lot of high intensity exercises so this is very boring and feels like a waste of time) - Lose 30lbs (currently holding steady) (this one is obviously not per day lol) (this one is also less important at this time) Those are the main ones. Where would you start? And how the hell do you fit an entire 150g of protein in in one day?? My physicians haven't been super helpful with the practical side of things. Also I can't afford a dietician so that's part of what's made this so difficult. More context that might be of help: - I generally eat 3 meals per day, sometimes snacks but not usually - I drink mainly electrolyte beverages and water - My mental health has sucked for awhile so everything feels impossible - My proteins are usually chicken, beef, pork, and sometimes nuts/beans. I also like dairy-based protein drinks. Although I like seafood, my family really doesn't so I have to limit that. - No food allergies or religious requirements - My range of motion is not limited. I basically just need to keep my heart rate down. - Sitting up for long periods is hard, so I've been thinking about starting there so that I can have more fluids more easily - I am only allowed to do recumbent exercises or things laying on my back. I can also sit on the edge of a tub or pool. But walking/running/standing exercises are out for now - Reminder apps and charts are not really helpful for me, but I would be willing to try more of them - I'm an American and we do not weigh our food lol. Even if I started that I have no idea how I would calculate this stuff. 😬 Tips/resources are welcome, though Thanks for any ideas!

    Tried to research this but it only told me how to create one, not view it. My problem is that anytime there is a long image, namely a scrolling screenshot, it is blurry and unreadable when I try to view it. This includes when I just zoom in as well as when I save the image to my own photos and try to view it from there. So how am I supposed to do it? These (seemingly) aren't low quality images because it happens every time - on here, text messages, search results - and no one else ever says anything about it. There are no issues viewing other types of images and my phone is updated. Also, I'm on Android.

    Context: I drive a 15+ year old SUV, and I am no longer in the position to just replace everything should anything bad happen. So sadly I will have to buy a newer car at some point. Hopefully not anytime soon 🤞🏼🤞🏼 But, I noticed when shopping with other people that newer cars sound weird. My knowledge of car troubleshooting is little more than sounds good/sounds bad, looks good/looks bad, smells good/smells bad, feels good/feels bad. So, how are newer cars supposed to sound?

    Hi, I am (very, very early) in the process of degoogling. I am definitely not a high risk as far as needing to be completely locked down. It's more about trying to have a little more control over how my data is used. I am looking at Graphene OS, but I am a little confused how certain apps (that rely on Google services) work. I have a Pixel 8 and will have it for the foreseeable future. The apps I currently use that I would still need (or their equivalents) are: * Clash Royale (Supercell) * Notion (Notion Labs) * Clickup (Mango Technologies) * Business Calendar 2 (Appgenix) 1. If I installed these exact apps "sandboxed", what exactly does that mean from a user standpoint? Will I have to use a separate account, reboot my phone, etc, or is it a quick process to use the app? 2. Is there a list of apps that I could browse to find equivalents to the above? Recommendations here are also ok. 3. I saw that Firefox isn't exactly private(?) and that Vanadium is better in that aspect but I don't understand why. Can someone ELI5, and help me see if this is a relevant concern for me? Thank you! 😁

    I am wanting to sell a used adult bike with some accessories (a camelbak and a helmet). I don't think the bike is worth much but the bicycle blue book doesn't list this brand (genesis from walmart) and other calculators are pricing it at $50+ even in poor condition (not ridden much, tires need to be replaced). I don't think it cost more than $180, if that, when I bought it 4 years ago. If anyone could point me in a good direction I would be grateful. I am in the USA.
