One story that we couldn’t keep out of the press and that contributed most to my decision to walk away from my career in 2008 involved Nataline Sarkisyan, a 17-year-old leukemia patient in California whose scheduled liver transplant was postponed at the last minute when Cigna told her surgeons it wouldn’t pay. Cigna’s medical director, 2,500 miles away from Ms. Sarkisyan, said she was too sick for the procedure. Her family stirred up so much media attention that Cigna relented, but it was too late. She died a few hours after Cigna’s change of heart.

Ms. Sarkisyan’s death affected me personally and deeply. As a father, I couldn’t imagine the depth of despair her parents were facing. I turned in my notice a few weeks later. I could not in good conscience continue being a spokesman for an industry that was making it increasingly difficult for Americans to get often lifesaving care.

One of my last acts before resigning was helping to plan a meeting for investors and Wall Street financial

Really enjoyed last years. Can’t wait to see how this one goes!

For anyone unfamiliar with TGP, it is like NFL Redzone but for WoW.

Well that's depressing

I just got a large batch of water leak sensors and was setting an automation to send a notification to my phone and I was worried that I would miss the notification. I found this page in the documentation for doing critical alerts. On iOS the notification stays persistent, even after unlocking the device. What’s really nice is that if you have an Apple Watch, the notification will also show up there and play a sound if the watch is on silent mode.

Even though I hope I never get one of these notifications, I’m really glad that this functionality exists within Home Assistant.

Just thought that was really neat.

Any way to swap the actions for tapping vs holding? To me it makes more sense for a tap to expand it and a long press to open the app. Searches popped up results from last year that it is not an option but did they add it to iOS 17?

So I’m finally upgrading to multi gig (either 2gb or 5gb google fiber) and will need a new router. On att 1gb atm. I’ve narrowed it down to either the QNAP QHora-301W or the [TP-Link AXE16000 (https://a.co/d/2q0T4Ow). Curious if anyone else with google fiber is using either of these?

Also, I’ve read conflicting posts about being able to use your own router to directly connect to the fiber(such as using an SFP module on the to link router). Admittedly I know very little about SFP and am trying to figure it all out prior to ordering in the next few weeks.

Created this to test out making a lemmy bot and thought it would be nice to share them. Fair warning, some can be straight trash.

So I'm having an issue where the two finger swipe to go back to the main inbox doesn't work when viewing an email. I can swipe forward from the inbox to go forward to the page that an email is on. This only occurs on Firefox. I tried both Chrome and Safari and both allow the gesture.

Any clues as to what can be causing that?

Holy hell, what a way for ::: spoiler spoiler Echo to finish it out in first by one shotting Nelf Lair. Hats off to them. :::

Group C was an entertaining weekend from start to finish.

This is one of the small UX items that I feel would improve FF on MacOS. The shift when moving the cursor to the menu bar sometimes makes me miss click on a tab.

This style of broadcast is perfect. It is like Red Zone but for 5 mans. Just non stop dungeon action.

They need to start the stream with “Seven hours of commercial free Warcraft starts…NOW”
