How do I know if a medical issue should be addressed by a Clinic Visit, Urgent Care, or the Emergency Room?
  • PSA for those in the US; the Urgent Care type places that advertise “ER” in their title will be absurdly more expensive than “regular” Urgent Care places that do not advertise as such.

    The reason is that the “ER” places have actual ER type equipment, but regardless if you use them or not, you will be charged as such.

    Maybe this is common knowledge, but we learned the hard way when my partner went in for something very benign and we received a $1,000 bill, even though we had insurance.

    These “ER” places are popping up everywhere, and there’s nothing to tell you that if you go down the road a block or so, it could make the difference between a cheaper co-pay and owing the full amount. In our case, almost $1,000.

  • Florida university to host extremist after DeSantis-led lurch to right
  • I saw a Vice (I think) piece about this. Basically Desantis really took an interest in this one random college and has steamrolled all over it. They interviewed students who thought they were going to one school, but everything changed not long after they got there.

    But it’s so fucking weird that he’s focusing all this energy on this small school. I don’t want to go full tinfoil hat, but this is so random.

  • Tim Walz Is Too Good at This. Let me remind everyone that Walz is, in fact, a politician.
  • And JD Vance isn’t really from Appalachia, but Tim Walz doesn’t hang out with Donald Trump, Peter Thiel, and Curtis Yarvin, or degrade women who don’t have kids, and isn’t creepy as fuck, so what’s your point?

    Nothing in the article is negative except for a quote from a conservative saying he’s “full of shit”. Got ‘em?

  • First hand experience with TSA biometric collection in airport
  • I’ve never seen the signs allowing you to opt out, so this is good info.

    But to add onto this topic - what is up when 2 people walk down a designated walkway while in line and the officer follows alongside them with the dog?

    iPhone 15 Pro keeps randomly dropping wifi

    I upgraded from a 13 Pro to a 15 Pro. So far the only internet I’ve connected to since I got the phone is at home, but with 2 different networks (one is 5g but otherwise same router and everything).

    I never updated the 13 Pro to iOS 17 because I knew I would be upgrading soon, but I never had this issue with any former phone and have been on this same internet setup since 2016.

    I have an iPad Mini 6 that I did update to iOS 17, and it’s fine.

    I’ve tried resetting network settings, turning off Wi-Fi assist, turning off networking and wireless in location services-> system services (saw that as a potential fix), and restarting multiple times, but it still randomly drops my WiFi signal on both home networks.

    Everything else wrt network/connection on my previous phone is the same - VPN setup, etc.

    My SO has a 14 pro & did update to 17 and does not have this problem.

    Does anyone have any ideas? I’ve searched for answers and I see that this has been an issue off and on for the past few years, but one of the fixes I mentioned above usually seems to help I guess because I haven’t seen any other suggestions.

    Could it be the phone itself? Is it worth exchanging it for another one before the 2 weeks runs out?

    Thanks everyone.

    I forgot to go back for Lae'zel, is it too late?

    Long story short, I ran into Lae’zel in the cage just after we wake up on the beach in the very beginning.

    I went by her and reloaded for reasons, but accidentally went a different way after that, forgot about it, & just realized she would be good to have as a Companion during combat.

    I’m about to kill the goblins, and I went back for her at her previous location but she’s no longer there. Did I lose her for good, or is there still a chance?

    Thanks everyone, I’m new to BG/D&D completely so apologies if this is a dumb n00b move, but I am one :)

    Gregory Aymond promised ‘to be transparent’ – but a Guardian investigation found that he hid allegations, and an expert questions whether it was against Vatican policy

    New Orleans archbishop ignored board findings on clerics accused of abuse

    A board which helps the Roman Catholic archbishop of New Orleans, Gregory Aymond, evaluate abuse allegations against priests and deacons in six cases found clergymen to be credibly accused only for Aymond to ignore the findings and conceal them from the public, a Guardian investigation has found.

    Request: Option to change location of comment voting button(s)

    Lemmios is my favorite iOS Lemmy app so far, but I find that when I go to upvote a comment using the voting button next to the commenter’s username (top), I inadvertently collapse the comment.

    Would it be possible to have both voting buttons either on the right side like posts have, or at the bottom?

    I understand gestures are an option, it’s just a personal preference with the voting buttons. Old habits die hard :)

    And if this feature exists, I apologize for missing it. I have looked for it in the settings but did not see such an option. Thank you for such great work with Lemmios!
