If go outside there is no need to wash your hands, tis is natural.

Your forgot expensive too.

You are right. I’m going to cry in a pillow now

If they are so rural ISPs won’t take them, why would a cell company deploy 5G in a super sparse area?

For example TMO and VZW will only hand out home cell modem if you live within half mile of a major interstate. If not out of luck aside from Starlink.

We went one step further than courthouse and that was Las Vegas. About $1,500 USD for everything. Still together and no regrets.

40down, 6up, 50USD/mo go USA! Only other option is Starlink which already had and was too unreliable.

In a funny way this sounds like prescription drugs, cheaper for the world due to US tax payers.

Cyberus Develops Open-Source KVM Backend For VirtualBox ( www.phoronix.com )

Making use of Linux's Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) opens up new possibilities while users can still enjoy the VirtualBox VMM itself. The KVM support is part of the mainline kernel so there is less worries with not having to use the VirtualBox kernel driver, KVM tends to support new features quite quickly, and tends to be...

Dumb question: why would anyone improve VBox?

I have heard of Oracle looking at IP addresses and if they notice a trend they try to collect a license off it. Same crap they do with Java. Do people use VBox and not concerned of Oracle looking over them?

I loved VBox back then, it worked great.

Thanks for the fantastic write up. It has been about 5ish years since I used VBox. Back then extensions were still needed for USB to work so this is good news.

VBox was always a great software, Oracle getting it really sucked

Cool, now how about the shitty ass $2k monthly premiums for what is basically a catastrophic plan?

flatpandisk ,

Last year my plan was family of four (Aetna), had individual deductible of 7,500 and family deductible of 10,000 and was 1,400 per month after subsidies. It was essentially a catastrophic plan and the cheapest one I could afford. Any silver plans were around 2,300/months.

You would have to be piss poor to get anything of 300 for a family plan. I would be smiling ear to ear for 300/mo. For last year you can guess that yup we had one ER visit that I’m still paying off because we didn’t hit the deductible. Thankfully nothing bad except RIP my wallet. I don’t know who enjoys paying 1,400 per month for such a shitty plan.

Best way for me to insure my family would be to quit my job so I can get max subsidies and get all my premiums covered. Thankfully my SO got a job with some healthcare so I could get rid of that plan.

Because I have the receipts when Atena hit my card monthly until we cancelled.

CA does not represent the rest of the USA. CA is near if not the most top state in the USA for medical coverage, very progressive except maybe shy of Virginia. Hell they even negotiated insulin down to normal levels since they threatened to open the our insulin production.

And you are correct the healthcare market place for last year had two options, Blue Anthem and Aetna. My state sucks so much….

Oh also the 2k is assuming an increase for 2024. 2022 my premium for the same crappy Bronze plan was around 950, then jumped up that much to 1400 in 2023 when one the insurance companies pulled out of our states healthcare market.

For a silver plan, lower deductibles etc (3500), you can almost double the crappiest Bronze plan premiums. So 2,000 - 3,000 premiums wouldn’t be a surprise before subsidies. Also if you aren’t familiar with the subsidies those are calculated based an a certain income. So if you put down a range (55k/yr) and let’s say you got a raise at the end of the year ($62k) it may disqualify you and boom you owe an extra 7k during tax time. Happened to my dad.

The best thing to happen was getting employer backed insurance but now our insurance is tied to our employer, yay for employer latitude.

Hours, max 12

And yes I take two showers a day. Got to keep all the bits clean.

Great minds think alike!

Yes you do have someone to share the news, the IRS :). (Assuming you are in the USA)

Seriously though congrats!
