1·11 days agoRelax, he’s American.
And as far as I know he’s not on our test either, but I hear ICE hangs out around our test places so you might want to skip that one anyway.
But the 135-metre-high London Eye is a Ferris Wheel.

2·13 days agoConsidering that technique was discovered by hitting a pothole as well, maybe whomping from the back would be more effective. Or picking up and dropping the patient.
Unfortunately, unless you have perfect aim and force, the person who can most quickly reuse the brick may be your intended victim. So just be ready for that.

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Couple left with $200k bill after baby born in USEnglish
3·30 days agoI’m not going to send you my personal info, but it’s no secret that anyone with US health first gets a bill with a huge number $$ that’s marked THIS IS NOT A BILL, then some weeks later we get another one from the insurance company which shows that number, and then a much smaller number “allowed” by the insurance which then shows as paid by them, then whatever “copay” we might have, usually about $30 with my insurance. Then there’s “your responsibility” which is just the copay if the doctor/hospital is in your insurance network. In that situation the provider has to accept what the insurance allows and no more. If they’re out of network, you may have to pay the difference between the original bill and what the insurance paid. Which can be a lot, so the first thing you should do is request an itemized bill. This will often be lower to start with, and gives you information to negotiate/contest items. Hospitals will also work with you to make a payment plan at that point.
In the OP case it was Swiss travel insurance not US health insurance and they finally agreed to pay the NICU bill, good work by the couple’s lawyer.

8·1 month agoFor most US medical bills the number you see and what the insurance company will actually pay (even to completely settle the bill) are entirely different numbers. Although this isn’t medical insurance per se. I bet they negotiated it down though.

60·1 month agoIsn’t it usual procedure that everyone else enters the courtroom and takes their places before the judge walks in? So the team would have had ample opportunity to film, record and facially-recognize the jury before Judge Kuhl made them take off the spyglasses.

8·1 month agoIf you would rather invest in a quality whistle for the one that goes in your own mouth, I recommend an ACME Thunderer.
As used by gym teachers and drum majors, (not Wile E. Coyote) they have a satisfying roll of authority.

91·3 months agoFirst, I’m sorry for all the people who will miss him, which includes a lot of lemmings. And I’m sorry for both him and his passenger, it’s a painful way to go.
But Angeles Crest Highway is notorious for Ferraris and Lamborghinis speeding crazily while fans film them, zooming past people who are just trying to get safely up and down the mountain.
In real life, dead is dead.
At least they didn’t hit another car. And the burning Ferrari didn’t fall down into a ravine, potentially sparking a wildfire and/or putting rescuers at risk retrieving the bodies.
