Imagine the kinds of things that even top athletes wouldn't care to bring to the attention of doctors or dont get treated because of the cost hurdle. Imagine extending that to the entirety of the American population. Most of medical costs in america are because of the privatization of health care, administration overhead and artificially inflated costs.

Its insane to me that people who are incompetent, especially at their own jobs, can get paid orders of magnitude higher than skilled workers. I did jury duty recently and in the case, the VP of a nursing facility was getting paid in excess of 200k and had the gall to claim they did everything by the book in a negligence case (they did not) and constantly failed to answer the attorney's questions properly (she'd always answer a different question than what was asked, refuse to answer yes/no, contradict clear facts about what was on the page in front of her). Not sure who she thought she was fooling. Attorney literally had to ask her if they were looking at the same paper because she was in a different world. Its people like that that keep our healthcare system so expensive that people cant afford to survive.

I have no doubt that people will fight tooth and nail to keep their trashy privatized health care - let them. Its just stupid to me that they refuse to allow lower cost health care of the same quality by the government. My brother in christ you could use it too if you stopped fighting for it to not get passed

Desktops and laptops make browing a large number of tabs easier and websites dont pare down the options and menus into a useless mess

Theres some websites where I have to look at in desktop bersion on Firefox mobile because theyre useless otherwise. Digikey for example.

Its not super hard, but the main hurdle will by bypassing whatever api limits there are such as by using multiple accounts

Certain libraries like praw still work to some extent (my discord bot is still running somehow) but trying to scrape all of the posts in a sub might have to be done slowly. You might be able to sort by old so that the results dont move relative to the page and then go page by page.

Hell I might just get/make some for the express purpose of making the process more enjoyable. My current plan is to get some potion-esque bottles that seal well to put homemade soda into

A small study in the New England Journal of Medicine earlier this year suggested, but did not prove, that patients with evidence of plastics in their arteries were at greater risk of death from heart attacks and strokes.

The significant harms leaded gasoline would cause were known, but proving that leaded gas specifically would cause tons of problems took a long time, and by that point it had polluted the environment and affected millions if not billions of people.

Japanese itself is read right to left. When translating it to English they blanked out the text in the speech bubbles but didnt flip the image.
