In the same vein, a TV might work too as long as it’s able to receive digital programming. They make small ones you could probably make work.

The bitcoin price “flash crash," coming outside of the traditional market trading hours, has led to a warning over the wildly popular bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), led by BlackRock’s near-$100 billion IBIT, which are bound by stock market opening times, leaving holders unable to react to weekend bitcoin price swings.

Whoops. Seems like if you can invest in the underlying asset that might be a better idea than trying to trade a 24/7 asset during business hours only.

This is the right answer.

Yes.

if you think $450 is an expensive medical bill for someone without insurance in the US, you’re dreaming.

I said it was possible to get a bare bones GP visit without insurance in the US for less than $450. I’m fully aware the system is broken and a car accident or serious injury will almost certainly bankrupt individuals without insurance.

But apples-to-apples comparison, the care in Sweden was worse for more money.

For what it’s worth, the language barrier was pretty significant from a written signs perspective. I showed up at what I guessed was the right spot, went inside, gave them my passport, and they returned it with a bill for $450 (it was expressed in kr, but this is what it converted to). I eventually went in and spoke to a doctor who took no vitals, did no tests, and gave me no medicine. And that was the visit.

I’ve seen a doctor as an American with no insurance a number of times. For a basic GP visit, it’s probably half that price and that’s with basic vitals included.

I figured as much, but it was jarring to receive worse care and for way more money than I would have paid at home (even uninsured).

I naively expected that all of Europe had health care figured out. The bullshit $450 USD bill I got in Sweden for existing in the same room with a doctor for 15 minutes taught me otherwise.

No. This isn’t normal. Go to a doctor or urgent care today.

I’m not a doctor and this isn’t medical advice, but it looks like Cellulitis to me which can be very dangerous.

So…funny?

Ignore my correction, I was misinformed

I want to be forced into being chaste…but can we make my willy look like a dolphin while we’re at it? 🤔

I connected the three trees at the middle and they made a triangle!!! How deep does this thing go?’

The most basic prompt I could write for this:

Panel 1:

Janeway riding a bike labeled “Voyager crew in the Delta Quadrant.”

Caption: “We’re stranded 70,000 light years from home, let’s be smart and careful.”

Panel 2:

Janeway happily jamming a stick into her own bike wheel.

Caption: “Break the Prime Directive, ally with dangerous aliens, get half the crew killed every other week.”

Panel 3:

Janeway lying on the ground, holding her leg, blaming others.

Caption: “The Delta Quadrant is so hostile! Why is it so hard to get home?!”

Sounds like it came from directly over OPs head

Whoosh

Shoulda stuck with books and garage videos.

Lovely! My parents owned one with an identical design and I always thought it was so visually interesting.

Hard to say 😏
