  • 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.




  • At my last job, they had some guy come in with a machine that could make like 40 pancakes at a time. Was there for a few hours, cranking out pancakes, sausages, eggs. He flipped the pancakes through the air at you and you had to catch them on your plate. It was mildly anxiety inducing, but I guess I’d call that a pancake party.













  • Sorry I was so late to the game. I used to work computer repair, always had a Linux stick to boot into, and changed it up every couple of weeks.

    Always something fresh, it was fun seeing all the different distros. You can also make a Linux USB stick with persistent storage and install apps and save settings. In my experience those tend to shit the bed after a few weeks.

    Another option that’s one step above a USB stick, is an m.2 enclosure. I had those with dual boot, windows and Ubuntu. I could plug that into anyone’s computer, boot the external drive and rule out hardware problems with ease.

    The m.2 enclosures are almost indistinguishable from an internal drive, made it so I could boot into my own setup on any machine.
