Really shows me how traumatized I am by United Health Care when I see UHC and it immediately brings them to mind and not Universal. I had to put in some work to understand that Acronym

Yeah we need to deflate the disproportionately high pricing of the health care caused by insurance as well, if we could get it at the national level we could eliminate a lot of the back office overhead, and then maybe negotiate a revisit of the master charge list so that Tylenol in hospital isn't something crazy like $250 dollars a dose. State by state this would probably be much more difficult.

Yep, they talked about it a bit during my hiring what I wanted my title to be since they are paid the same and do the same tasks(in addition to some coding expectations). I'm glad I chose architect, but ultimately they squeezed me out of that with RTO mandates for architects and above.

Seems to be a trend, my boss was telling me that the VP's in our org think we need more lead devs and less solutions architects, though they would functionally be doing largely the same role, meetings, planning, design, interfacing with teams they are dependent on, annual technology reviews etc. I think it's going to bite them in the end

Absolutely banks will cut rewards, I know that when there was a law attempting to cap/eliminate late fees banks I am close to were discussing how they would offset the losses and rewards were on the block for that. That law is held up in Texas courts right now so the banks so far haven't had to worry about it

Good old poisonous water, since water itself has a safe limit, ld50's exist for pretty much everything

Played so much road rash on my dad's gear during long drives in the Ohio countyside, I think we either had a adapter for the cig lighter or a special battery pack or both because it seemed to last long enough for me, but definitely shorter than. My OG Gameboy ran for. Was a great color handheld before that was common

If your running blue throw in displacer kitten and anytime you play an instant or sorcery or any non-creature, you bounce the bird for more p9 copies, then throw in a teferi that gains loyalty on draw and you got a stew going

Yeah I've had so many Chevy's spoof me into thinking they were backing out of a parking spot only to realize they weren't, infuriating

That would make sense, essentially double dipping the debt. Twice soaked in horrible costs.
