SPOILERS FOR TODAY'S 4x3!!!

My friends and I shared our scores like we do everyday and noticed that while we had the same categories, they were assigned different colors (and therefore difficulties). Is this a bug? Or is there some variability every day?

[Hank Green @hankgreen]

For context on the air conditioning debate between the US and Europe...one must consult the ancient texts:

1. Anything that is in the world when you're born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.

2. Anything that's invented between when you're 15 and 35 is new and exciting and revolutionary, and you can probably get a career in it.

3. Anything invented after you're 35 is against the natural order of things.

So, your doctor ordered a test or treatment and your insurance company denied it. That is a typical cost saving method.

OK, here is what you do:

1. Call the insurance company and tell them you want to speak with the "HIPAA Compliance/Privacy Officer"
(By federal law, they have to have one)

2. Then ask them for the NAMES as well as
CREDENTIALS of every person accessing your record to make that decision of denial.

By law you have a right to that information.

3. They will almost always reverse the decision very shortly rather than admit that the committee is made of low paid HS graduates, looking at "criteria words." making the medical decision to deny your care.
Even in the rare case it is made by medical personnel, it is unlikely that it is made by a board certified doctor in that specialty and they DO NOT WANT YOU TO KNOW THIS!!

4. Any refusal should be reported to the US Office of Civil
Rights (https://t.co/QJjJAm5BxT) as a HIPAA violation.

Be safe out there 🫵🏻✨
Know your rights 👊🏼

@RockLeeSmile I completed all the achievements last night! Great game, maybe a little shallow if I had one complaint. Looking forward to DLCs or other future content.

[coryb @the_coryb]

@TylerGlaiel Otherwise you have to detect the specific gamepad and then display the relevant image, right? And for a long time steam controller support always assumed Xbox controller so that led to some confusion for those with PS controllers I'm sure. The neutral face buttons are simpler 🤷

[coryb @the_coryb]

@edmundmcmillen Following @TylerGlaiel's recent Mewgenics stream where chat voted on what items to take, have you all considered an official twitch integration?

Also, I can't wait for the game to be out! Looks incredible!

How come major film studios keep being like Jared Leto may have allegations, but at least he looks weird, stars in box office bombs, and is not a good actor

@halmajestic The dog's name was just "Angus" lol

All Boomer solutions to debt always return to some variation of "Let's sell our children's future for a more comfortable present."

It's our job to say "No" to that proposition, again and again and again.

Well I love movie theater popcorn & it loves me & would never betray me so the way that I get a terrible stomachache every single time I eat Popcorn Dinner is surely coincidental.

Vance is a treasonous fool who is openly demeaning the Constitution, but don’t overlook that his claim of 20 million undocumented immigrants in the Biden administration is an insane fabrication that overstates the real number by a factor of 20 or more.

[Adam Carlson @admcrlsn]

The whole piece is well worth your time, but this chart stood out to me

Mass deportations are still popular — and deporting undocumented immigrants accused of violent crimes is extremely popular — but when you get into pretty much any specific scenarios, support drops underwater

never have i seen a more succinct telling of the AI relationship to culture

art has always been accessible my friend.

what you lack is the constitution — or the will — to bring it into being

When I say that MAGA folks live in a wholly different reality of their own construction, this is what I mean.

The federal deficit has risen under every single modern Republican president and has fallen under every Democratic president. How many Trump voters actually know this?

Some people have spent so much of their life investing and hawking crypto that they assume everything else must be a scam too.

They literally publish a budget every year.
