Our health system is so broken and disjointed. Most of the time I go to my healthcare provider and I have no idea what I will be charged until I see receive the EOB "Explanation Of Benefits" letter I receive weeks later from my insurance company. Negotiated rate? If the healthcare provider is willing to accept the "negotiated rate" for services every time then that should be their rate. We need a published rate across all healthcare providers that doesn't change based on whatever insurance provider a deal had been cut with.

I run pi-hole and Adblock+ and could not be happier. Not that I dislike ads but most of these websites have shot themselves in the foot with overdoing the ads and trying too monetize every single click I make. I refuse to participate anymore and just ignore any site that feels threatened by my ad blockers. Worse than the ads are the trackers. Screw them I'm done.

Believe it or not, but a lot of studies have shown that EV batteries actually don’t degrade as bad as a lot of those have been believing. By the time you actually need a new battery, they should be a lot cheaper.

Overheating costs our health system billions of dollars a year too. I would even venture to guess that more people have diabetes and that is a larger drag on the health system than smoking.

We're getting a little crazy with all these smoking bans. I used to be a smoker many many years ago and I love the fact that we prohibit smoking indoors but I could care less if someone wants to light up when they are outside and not close enough to annoy anyone else.
