We did this boat tour over Labor Day. 100% highly recommended. Our guide was a fount of fun and interesting knowledge, guiding us through the history of the river.

That's a shame because Rick has some fantastic videos, especially his "What Makes This Song Great" series. He's showcasing some amazingly talented musicians and their work, which probably leads to some music sales. BS indeed!

That was my very first thought as well. I'm wanting to build a display that can show the status of various things - garage door, temperature, air quality, etc. Ideally it could run on battery too so I could mount it anywhere. Just need to find the time and motivation to do it, among all the other priorities & interests.

Clearly I'm showing my age here too

I would love to hear your thoughts as an insider.

Thanks for the link. Subscribed!

I tried using Takeout but the exported file structure and various metadata files were almost incomprehensible. This is likely partly my fault because I didn't download the full 100+ zip files, but I suspect there would be so many files scattered in too many directories to be much use.

I found this in an HN comment https://metadatafixer.com/ I haven't used it but it looks pretty promising

Yeah this was what my concern was basically

I've been a happy Relay user for years (Android).

Huh. My wife is actually having the same procedure done for the second time after Christmas. Naturally the doctor is in-network, but his surgical facility (on the same floor, immediately adjacent to the doctor's offices) isn't. So it's fork out $1500 and fight insurance to reimburse us after the fact.

In her case, the epidural really does give her life back by completely killing the pressure and migraines that otherwise plague her daily. Insurance can kiss my butt. Single payer would be fabulous in this case.

There's this idea that "single payer" will pay for "anything I want" and it seems to me that evidence for this is sorely lacking.

Does the NHS not cover treatment for documented, debilitating migraines? I would be shocked to hear that it doesn't. In fact I think I would be surprised to hear if the NHS doesn't cover anything as long as it isn't something like cosmetic surgery.

There is no reason single payer shouldn't or couldn't cover 99% of most medical needs.

While being only slightly sarcastic, maybe it's time to put a sign on the door "If you're not covered by health plan XXX, please do not come in this room." That we have to even joke about such things is beyond ridiculous.
