Good to know my compulsions will keep me sober for this game. My liquor intake will be from boredom than obligation.

I get you can buy something to add them in, but a new model car will likely have overdesigned parts on it already(including the price. And having it replaced in case something happens means instead of $200 you're paying $2K +labor because of all the bells and whistles.

I don't want fancy side-view mirrors with sensors that add $6K to the price of a vehicle, I want plain mirrors with a blind spot segment that allows me to know exactly what's around me and doesn't trigger a false positive when changing lanes.

Medical billing is a delayed deal versus something like pharmacy billing. An office will run an estimate and bill based off that test claim, then within two years actually bill the insurance. A pharmacy bills your insurance at the point of sale.
Rocky (@rockyl.bsky.social) reply parent
and see where they can make up every little bit. Or, your accumulators (deductible/max out-of-pocket) sequence in a way where you've paid an amount that hasn't hit your account, but then does after-the-fact.
Rocky (@rockyl.bsky.social) reply parent
It may be common if an office billed incorrectly and now is trying to salvage something. Office bills for $500, for example. Insurance has a $200 reimbursement, but the office wanted $300. They'll charge you $100, but the insurance catches them charging you above-rate. So then they go back

That changed the energy so much in the top of the seventh I would've been livid if KC had pushed something across just then. (on top of the regular livid I was. North and south of the zone I give some grace for, but east and west is pretty defined)

Bonus baseball is never good for the heart — and somehow having the winning run walked in with the bases loaded is worse. Go Tigers.

I had to watch the replay to check. Trey Sweeney hit a ball into right-center field and it bounced off an ad. It managed to strike the portion of the ad where a kid's bat was during a swing. That man might be the first to hit the Little Caesars hole at Comerica with luck like that.

Include how product selection isn't as available or varied, it starts to show how many rudimentary things we have to deal with. Don't know where I was going with this. It's exhausting.

Good teachers will call things out; "Use your right if you're right-handed or left if you're left-handed", but I've found the best lessons are from those who use neutral language like "lead/forward hand". It's small, but there's so much less effort involved when trying to recall a lesson.
Rocky (@rockyl.bsky.social) reply parent
Take golf, for instance. The teachers almost exclusively right-handed, as are the demonstration materials. Even things as pedantic as explanations become an issue. "Use your right hand..." each time you've got to manually flip those instructions — adding strain to it all.
Rocky (@rockyl.bsky.social)
International Left Handers Day was on the 13th. You might've heard how left-handed people are likely to die/be injured using something designed for right-handed people. While that isn't exactly true, there is a design and teaching bias we have to overcome in doing the same things.
Rocky (@rockyl.bsky.social) reply parent
Generally they'll allude to it or talk around the situation. TV will show nobody speaking to or being anywhere near the pitcher between innings. It should feel like someone was writing a paper and needed to add a bunch of fluff in to make the word count.

Only about 1 in 10 people are left-handed, but if that is you, today is your day 👈 Left-handedness has existed for tens of thousands of years. Tools, bones, and cave art show it. Even some animals display paw or wing preferences. 🧵⬇️ (1/5)

Rocky (@rockyl.bsky.social) reply parent
That sub-two hour mark, to me, detracts a bit from the experience. Last year I was at a 1-0 win that went under two hours, and I think that one-hit against the Orioles went under two(?) — and it really took away from being able to take everything in(or get drinks/concessions).
