@XylaFoxlin Patient's Actual Responsibility:
- Always wait for a paper bill to arrive.
- Always negotiate with the provider's billing department
- If you don't have it in you to negotiate, find someone who will, i.e., a real "Karen" who isn't afraid to go to battle for you.

@thephysicsgirl Hoping your voice can be the background for my 3-year-old daughter's activities, instilling STEM vocabulary and passion into her.
If your podcasts are only half as great as your videos, your passion will shine straight into her developing subconscious. ^_^

@elonmusk Can't wait for a crewed flight of a SpaceX Starship to carry a payload of mining equipment to Pluto to confirm the existence of water ice and radioactive elements beneath the surface!

How's that radiation shielding coming along? Maybe not such a feasible idea...

I thought I was smart using splice() until this problem. Turns out I can make the code a lot faster if I settle for a simple while loop.
