Just really think in terms of bangability. You wanna bang someone with a hairy forehead? Neither did our ancestors.

Call the hospital, get the billing department ask if you can talk to someone about reducing the bill.

I had a similar situation once, said my chest hurt and everyone freaked out and I ended up with a 5k ER bill. With no actual answer to why my chest hurt, and was still hurting.

I talked to the hospital they set up an appointment with a woman, I showed bank statements, income, insurance information. Ultimately, because I had very little income or money at the time. They just forgave the entire amount. No more bill.

Definitely worth a shot.

Love that song, exactly what I thought of.

Thanks for your insight, fartsparkles.

I meant freeze, which you should do.

Yeah locking it just means nobody can open new lines of credit on the social security number. Then you can use multi factor authentication on the different bureau sites. You’ll need to lock it on all three… Which sucks.

It’s annoying, it’s stupid that we have to do this. But you gotta look out for yourself.

Just a friendly reminder to lock your credit.

Bluetooth is fine, haven’t experienced any lag like the other guy said. But remember standard Bluetooth is only two channel, so don’t try to use the microphone on the headphones or your audio will not be stereo.

You can use the headphones for sound then I’m pretty sure there’s a built-in microphone on the deck. For multiplayer game chat.

The name mastodon literally means “breast tooth,” referring to the the “nipple”-shaped bumps along the top edges of these animals’ teeth.

Cinematic widescreen, bars on the top and bottom. Been a thing forever, honestly OLED makes it more bearable because the pixels are turned off. I’d rather have the bars be completely black than backlit black.

My electric toothbrush does 30 seconds per quadrant, 2 minutes total. I’m 38 have zero cavities and my teeth are fine. I only brush once a day.

I purchased the drive, flashed steam OS to it, put it in the deck and turned it on. Really really simple. Didn’t encounter a single hiccup.

I just bought a USB m.2 adapter and flashed steam OS to the drive before I ever even put it in the deck. First boot was just like booting the original drive.

It’s the easiest thing I’ve ever done in my life.

You’re fine, just follow the iFixit guide. It’s super easy. After removing the screws I pulled it apart with my fingernails, no problem. Remove screw, replace drive, put screw back in. This is like, day one stuff at a computer repair job. Again you’re fine. If you can do a Lego set, you can replace the m.2 on a steam deck. Don’t psych yourself out, my mother could do it.

How the fuck could they not even give it a new name?! One of my favorites as well.

Good call, have fun buddy.

What screen did you upgrade to?

I upgraded mine before I ever even turned it on. Now I just wish I’d gone with the 1tb instead of 512gb. I did get a hub, that allows me to connect external drive enclosures. A recent update just enabled auto-mounting external drives, which is nice.

I used to pull the product key stickers off parts we bought at my old job. Laptop bottom cover, with free windows 7 key. Every computer in my house is running Windows 11 pro, activated with a Windows 7 key, that was otherwise just going to get thrown away.
