Call Luigi

American here with asthma. I can buy my inhaler over the counter for about $6 a canister in Mexico. I needed some more recently so I went to the local pharmacy with a prescription and it was $95 for two canisters with my high deductible insurance! The pharmacist looked up the cash price and it was $50! Why the higher price? The cash price doesn't go towards meeting my deductible. The insurance company is supposed to be negotiating on my behalf! Where is the "efficiency of the private sector?” Healthcare and insurance are broken in this country.

T is no longer.

Remember article 5 of NATO, an attack on a member is an attack on all members! We must show support for the trans and gender nonbinary communities while we organize with the hope of flipping the legislature in the midterms two years from now.

Drag performance resembling Last Supper at Olympic opening ceremony rankles conservatives

NBC's coverage only detracted from the ceremony. They cut most of the fashion show. And the hosts did nothing to explain or put the various acts in cultural context.

For those who don't like the queer fashion show, no one is forcing you to watch it. It's a cultural expression of the host country. It's like going to Gramany and hating the beer or the Netherlands and hating the tulips.

Selfhosting Sunday! What's up?

My ISP did the same thing recently and what was most annoying is they didn't admit to changing anything, while trying to sell me a business account.

This weekend I setup Pangolin on a budget VPS and forwarded it back home. I don't have my VPN backup but it fixed Plex and I can access my security cameras again.

My Instagram (IG) account was recently suspended due to being flagged for "suspicious activity" and although I was able to successfully appeal it and get my account restored, the process was opaque

I refuse to install IG on my phone and instead use Firefox on Android. I keep getting warning messages about suspicious activity on my account. I've even changed my password to make sure nothing else is using my account. I think their bot detection or something similar keeps flagging my sessions. I mostly lurk on IG but I can tell you I am quite human.
