[Final Update] My insurance won't cover UTIs for males. Yes, I'm in the US.

Reply in thread

Because it's much less likely for men to get a UTI in the first place, it's much more likely that if they have one, that it's not a simple "throw some bactrim at it and it will go away" situation. With a male UTI, there's a higher chance that the UTI is in fact a symptom of a more serious issue, rather than the issue itself. And determining that requires diagnostics that are beyond the scope of what can be done at a minute clinic.

US says Wagner coup is ‘real’ and ‘serious’ as White House consults allies

Reply in thread

Lol, because that's how Russian warlords operate. "No, it's cool, I'll just chill here and not invade anybody".

Prigozhin is as bad (if not worse) than Putin. The rest of the world would be no safer with him running Russia. Best-case scenario is that this bullshit destabilizes the country to the point that Putin is deposed, somebody rational takes the lead, and they agree to cease all operations in Ukraine in exchange for western assistance putting down the Wagner rebellion. It'll take all of a week to stomp out Wagner, if Russia allows the rest of the world to do it.

Original GB/GBC resolution was 160x144, which you're just plain not going to find a perfect integer match for. You'll have to either settle for interpolation or black bars around all 4 sides. I guess the least-worst panel would be 1280x720, because at least that would perfectly fill the panel vertically at 5x integer scaling with just large pillarboxes.

You reached the end
