I’m just waiting for medical tourism to be supported by insurance, think about it, insurance could pay less by having you fly out to Costa Rica or someplace to get things at 1/10 the cost. Hell they could outsource everything to Cuba if they weren’t mad about something that happened like 60+ yrs ago
Most insurance covers preventive care, so that’s why it’s popular

How can you change anything when the system is built with a fundamental flaw, the constitution never incorporated ethics, it was supposed to be up to the people to vote in ethical people, but that failed. The ones that benefit are corrupt and won’t change it, and good luck on getting enough people voted in power with a conscience to change it and not be swayed by power and money.
Do we need more “content”, most of the shows and movies they make are pretty bad and only content for content sake. It doesn’t tell a real story, it just puts some action and conflict wrapped around IP characters with no real substance
Problem is these evangelicals don’t see others as people, just wait for them to define what Christianity is

I read the article, but other than just the thrill of creating new ux solutions, why would a OSS dev do it because whatever he does will be copied by someone at the big companies and they won’t get any credit. And that would have happened before AI as well. So it’s easy for someone to try to tell people, hey start experimenting more but someone at Apple will take the credit if their solution is good enough

People are not that simple to explain, that being said being a humanist it would seem you wouldn’t deny having a child, but again people are complex, we should stop acting like things are so easy to define or change people

Re:How Poor People Buy Cars on Saturday September 12, 2026 @09:06AM (#49671957)
Do your research first, talk to a mechanic friend or relative about what cars are reliable. Get a late model of that or an older one with few miles. Stay away from CVT transmissions, avoid the first model of a car, go with a model that’s been around for years (plenty of parts and bugs worked out). Get the most basic version, and go for reliability over style.

The worst part is dealing with dealers.

Well there goes that tool down the dumpster. Meetup has been nothing but finding ways to raise prices and revenue and not about building the site to be better, as it went downhill since like 2015/16
Re:iPhone Duo on Thursday September 10, 2026 @01:51PM (#49647715)
With AI that will be reduced, because the future is AI designed apps, just like sign companies slap Arial, Times New Roman on signs and others use wix/wordpress/squarespace for their company page

I wonder if you can hook it up to a monitor and use it like macOS. That would be the killer phone and killer laptop, then you just need to connect a mouse in and display or tv and work wherever. But I doubt Apple will ever do that, I don’t think they are bold enough to cannibalize their laptops.

Imagine being able to hook up a small slab to a keyboard or mouse Bluetooth then connect to a monitor, tablet or hotel tv, like the Samsung Dex can do. And run full laptop/desktop applications. One can dream

But they get to have their city/state name and a bunch of minimum wage jobs, and extra flight traffic for people and athletes that have no care about the area to come in and spend a few more bucks at chain hotels and restaurants that have their HQ in another state/city

6 mins? Maybe with a squatty potty and if I'm lucky. Otherwise it's almost always 15-25min for me, not sure why, it just takes time.
