Insurance wasn’t involved when it came time to pay for the surgery. By then, they’d already denied the claim and the appeal, so they were paying completely out of pocket for the surgery.

Had surgery to correct an underbite a few years ago after prepping for it with braces for years. For context, I was still young enough to be on my parents’ insurance. The surgery involved moving my upper jaw forward and my lower jaw back because the underbite was so severe. The insurance denied the claim. My parents (I love them so much for this) decided beforehand that, if the claim and the appeal were denied, they would instead “gift” me the money out of their own retirement savings and have me pay for it. The procedure alone cost, I believe, $16k out of pocket. (I don’t remember the specific reason why they gifted me the money instead of paying for it outright.)

Game still requires either full or limited data collection in order to play. It apparently asks you for permission after the intro cutscene.

Sadly, based on reviews for the game on GOG, while the game is technically DRM-free (in that it doesn’t Emily any of the traditional DRM like Denuvo), it still requests either full or limited data collection.

In the US, you typically have to type in your debit/ credit card’s info (the 16-digit number, the 3-digit security code, the cardholder’s name, and the billing address on file with the bank) on a website in order to purchase something unless you’re using PayPal, Google Pay, or something similar to that that the website supports. If you’re using any of those, a pop-up usually opens asking for login info, then you select a card or bank account to use for the purchase.

Steam does actually tell you on the game’s page if the game requires a 3rd party account to play.

Looks like links to it are completely blacklisted, too. That’s rare to see.

I just bring it to a phone repair place, and they spend about five minutes in the back cleaning it for free.

Something something Doctor Who Cybermen.

IIRC, they’ve said they’ll implement V3 to maintain compatibility, but they’ll also continue to maintain V2. You, the extension developer, will not be forced to use V3 if you don’t want to.

That depends on how many people are in the family and how many people are paying their fair share. Odds are that the children won’t pay because, well, they’re children. Teenagers might pay their way depending on if they have a job or not. And many households only have one primary source of income (with maybe a side job providing just a little extra). Which means most people would probably be footing the bill themselves for the whole family.

First, backup your uBlock Origin settings. Next, try resetting your uBlock Origin settings.

For TV, assuming you have an Android TV, you can use SmartTube.

For mobile, use ReVanced. It’ll ask you to provide an APK of a specific version of the YouTube app, which you can download from here.

For PC, use Firefox and the uBlock Origin adblocker. I know you said you don’t use Chrome, but I’ll explain why people are saying not to use it specifically with uBlock Origin: Basically, with Chrome’s update to Manifest v3, that’ll greatly impact uBlock Origin and its ability to do its job.

All three options above also include the ability to enable/ install something called SponsorBlock. SponsorBlock uses community submissions to (based on the user’s preference) either skip or give the option to skip portions of a video such as sponsorship segments or “like and subscribe” segments among other things.

Based on the description, it looks like it’s designed to be able to block or allow 3rd party stuff on webpages. For example, it looks like, if you wanted to, you could block Twitter embeds from loading in a given news article. I imagine it can also block hidden 3rd party stuff, too, the kind that you only notice if you look at the network tab in the browser’s console.

Unfortunately, nobody’s gonna switch just because one person left unless it’s a big influencer (which I am not). It’d take multiple people collectively leaving, and that’s not gonna happen without something big. Fortunately, Twitter’s current owner is, well… he’ll likely cause that “something big” all on his own. Like how Reddit’s API thing caused Lemmy to grow in size overnight.

When it does happen, I’ve already got accounts setup on a couple different places from the last time I thought the Great Twitter Exodus was finally happening.

Thinking on it more, I do remember the game pausing to load whenever I dove quickly into the depths.

Zelda is fair, I’ve heard good things about it.

Breath of the Wild actually had quite a lot of frame drops in the Lost Woods. I remember it was a topic of discussion for a while.

I don’t remember for sure if Tears of the Kingdom suffered from the same issues or not.

Did it start happening when they switched the port to 64-bit?

Then have two options: block and mute. With mute, users won’t know you’ve muted them, as you’ve described. With mute, the user would not be able to see your posts.

I wish this were true for me, but many of the voice actors and content creators I pay attention to have yet to move elsewhere.
