That's apparently one of the big reasons this fraud is so prevalent. If my sister and I weren't watching her mail and tracking what was going on she never would have even noticed that someone flipped her insurance until all of a sudden she was getting massive bills from half her doctors because...

The other problem is that it's SO EASY to defraud. When I got on the phone with the Medicare people, I told them my mom's name, and my name and that I was her power of attorney handling all her affairs. How did they validate this information? Asked for her DOB and her Medicare card number...

One of the most boggling parts of this.. a GOVENMENTAL OFFICE was able to do something more efficiently than two different private businesses, so I'm also having my cognitive dissonance today. Ah yes.. The US MEDICARE DIAL IN OFFICE : 1-800-633-4227

OK.... In today's episode of "What the hell is Rustling Haus' Jimmies So Much" : (Full disclosure, I am full power of attorney and handle all finances and medical stuff for my mom who is in her mid 70's) Her Medicare Part B or whatever was flipped from Humana to UHC without her or my...

A handy guide for those trying to make better food decisions.

Still better than Disney Star Wars....

As for timing, from what I hear they're already filming the next season, so hopefully they're realizing these multi-year gaps don't work well when you have flesh and blood actors.

OK, question in case someone knows this... Do the mobs still scale up HP if there are multiple people fighting them? It kinda feels like that. And my usual Sunday afternoon nonsense in the game is my wife and I running some delves and prey runs. Also, funny when you're paired up and do...

True, option 2, even if not giving you your goal gives you at a minimum experience and hopefully some salty but funny stories. As I have heard said, few people lay on their death beds bemoaning the risks they took, but many regret the things they never tried. Now with that all said, we are a...

Bottom line reality here. You have three possible paths : Try and succeed Try and fail Don't try If your goal is to be in a happy and loving relationship now or in the future then "Don't Try" is the one path which will never get you there. Option 2 hurts a lot, Option 3 is a slow miserable...

OK. @Koushirou , I'm gonna frame this with my up front full disclosure. I'm in my 50's, happily married for over 20 years now. But I also stalled and delayed about getting married and being "serious" for various reasons I kept convincing myself were valid in my 20's that I now look back on and...

We have those where I work, we call them boomerangs. As @ShakyJake mentioned, sometimes there is a definite "grass is greener" effect. In my company's case, it is often they go to chase startup money/stock and it doesn't pan out. My company though... it's facing a situation now where they did...

The yield in stablecoins comes from the fact that to "peg" a stable coin to the dollar you have to effectively hold "dollar reserves" which the stablecoin providers do via holding treasuries for the most part. Those treasuries and other "reserve dollar" devices tend to generate yield, and...

When allowed to work without government interference being orchestrated by business (i.e. "Crony Capitalism")? Surprisingly well. The argument from the banks is that they don't want to allow exchanges to simply offer the yield they get on stablecoins in their exchange to simply flow to the...

They haven't won quite yet.... The coinbase CEO basically flipped the double bird on the deal today. This tweet explains it pretty well and is my exact stance on it. This needs to be a decision made by the market. Which will piss off the banks.

So apparently the company which does $USDC (Circle) dropped 18% in market cap. The reason? The "Compromise" they came up with for the upcoming cypto legislation that was supposed to give clarity to the crypto industry is now that you aren't allowed to pay yield or interest on stablecoin...

Some of my fondest memories are as a kid learning to work on cars from my grandfather. Still remember being painted black with grease up to my shoulders it felt like when I did an engine replace/rebuild for the 66 Mustang I had my senior year in high school. Now cars are deliberately built to...

I'm thinking Banner is there as a surrogate for them not having access to the FF yet, and Tony Stark being dead. In the comics when Spiderman needs "big head science help" he usually goes to the FF to the point for a long time in the comics they essentially consider him family. (Another...

I heard he got a note saying illegals were trying to sneak into heaven. He didn't die, he just volunteered to go handle the problem.

I'll add...

As opposed to GILFs....

I went so far as to get a plot next to my wife's and put a base house there. I think I put a wagon next to the house. I went inside and put some furniture in one room, but honestly it's just not that interesting to me so it's been sitting ever since. Although apparently I've "leveled up"...

Right now I'm literally dealing with members of the sales teams where I work who are doing that. Just dumping all the docs into a folder, pointing AI at it and having the AI crank out proposals and plans. Then they're stunned when I ask when if they had the major head trauma before or after...

"We're reaching out because we think the AI you left us with was not properly configured. We ask it questions but all it sends back are ASCII art middle fingers.... "

You're mistake here is that you think Blizzard/Activision/Microsoft are focusing on producing a good game and it's objectively provable that they aren't. They're focusing on getting as many people as possible to dedicate as much screen time as possible into THEIR game. And with WoW they're...

I think this year marks when I reach a new pinnacle of old guy... I'm about to do a day of landscaping at my house, and it's going to be warm, so I'm wearing shorts... ... along with black compression socks that go to the tops of my calves. The only step past this is to wear this with sandals.

I could go on a longer rant about this but here's the condensed version... Housing in WoW is the natural extension of a key thing WoW (and many games in general, but especially long term MMOs) do. They replace real challenge and accomplishment to keep a subset of the populace placated. At...

The fact is the dialogue and writing style many associate with Whedon was a small group of people who , when at their best, I think counterbalanced each other well enough to produce some amazing stuff. You want to pull a single thread that connected a lot of the TV I have loved and most since...

Ah probably was not too uncommon for people in my age range I was , in fact, dating multiple girls named Heather at the same time at one point.

I'm getting the feel this is going to be a podcast. He was on the one Brent Spiner and Johnathan Frakes do with Tyduk recently. It would be an easy slam dunk for them.

Plumbers I won't be hiring again... That's what type The dude didn't even know how to properly use a circular saw to set the plunge depth and do a plunge cut. Didn't know how deep the decking and subfloor would be to avoid slicing into a beam... I had to give him fucking lessons, then when he...

Short phrase for what is rustling the jimmies today? My mothers house. Longer form? hot water pipe under the house busts, because the house had an AC reftrofitted to it in the 60's the return ductwork under the floor goes over there the pipes also go underground (pier and beam). So had to...

This is where I do like how Grok handles it. Grok annotates it's answers with links to sources.
