This is pretty infuriating to read when I spent so much fucking time with three different banks and my accountant over three weeks to prep and apply and I’m still unsure what the s…

diet plays a huge role in kidney disease management for sure. potassium is a big deal since it is filtered out by the kidneys and if your kidney function is lowered, dangerous leve…

this is incredibly dangerous advice for someone already on dialysis. there’s no fluid restriction for ckd until you hit esrd, in which case 3 liters a day consistently will damage …

that guide has such a bad reputation for a lot of queer people. the rating isn't a bad rough guide, but it is outright dangerous as a resource to people who are especially trans an…

there are some reputable training schools (like guide dogs for the blind and canine companions for independence), but there is no real accreditation. there's maybe organizations li…

it’s unclear to me what delivery customers are being charged, and for me the companies tried to leverage the “look how much business we’re sending you” into signing contracts. i re…

I own a restaurant and I’ve been on the receiving end of this. There’s a 6 you’re missing where the customer comes in or calls in an order directly and realizes that the prices are…

i would prefer to work instead of providing full time caregiving to my 1.5 kids and my parents (and also myself, it’s been a very rough pregnancy). anyone that thinks being the pri…

this definitely feels like a quirk of the route. kettleman city is right in the middle of the la-sf drive along the 5. it's also basically like one of two stops that has more than …

The counterexample needs a huge caveat. Outside of one-off registry discounts and occasional manufacturer end-of year/model/design sales, the Target trade-in deal is one of the bes…

This doesn't take into account seat maintenance and daily use, it feels like. We have two car seats with 9 year expirations. The older seat is almost 3 years old. I doubt it's goin…

usually there's a seat belt locking mechanism or the car seat itself has lockoffs to lock the belt in place. the belt isn't freely retracting and extending. latch/isofix has limita…

I'm pretty sure household income is a federal thing coming from the Credit Card Act of 2009, not just CA community property laws. Every time I apply for a credit card it's been pre…

the differentiation that needs to be made is for recovery vs bonding. it sounds like the company in question has that now. bereavement would be good to cover folx that otherwise wo…

fellow HG sufferer (survivor?) here. i was on multiple medications since week 5 trying to prevent hospitalization, and still on zofran six months in. careful use of medications can…

This is the CA donation limitation list: https://i.imgur.com/T6mWt3g.png The valves are broken out separately from the heart for purposes of donation, and the story also discusses …

Short of saying no to heart valve/skin/bone donations, I find it unclear how this will play out in practice though. Like, OneLegacy is a nonprofit so if I select the nonprofit-only…

For those of you in CA similarly disturbed by this story, a side link in this story talks about how to put limitations on your organ donor status. I did not know this was an option…

anyone with medical needs. my dad's dialysis clinic found out about the power shutoff the same way we did. the news. the plan is to go to the local hospitals/ERs for dialysis becau…

agreed. time to talk to a lawyer. also maybe the sperm bank, as it’s not trivial at most of them to discover who the donor is to that degree. certainly makes me raise an eyebrow th…

current best practice is no longer that high unless you have very low quality early embryos and the eggs are from someone that is 38+ years old. even 3 can be pushing it. i had gen…

the limit is typically measured in families, and within those families we’re usually not talking a dozen children each. a sperm bank that limits to 10 families per donor will proba…

I own a restaurant in the SF bay area, and nearly all of my employees prefer cash or paper checks even if I offer direct deposit. (Not paying under the table - I still withhold and…

my largely medically uneventful labor, induction, and unplanned c-section birth at a bay area hospital two years ago cost me a $500 copay, but the insurance paid amount was somewhe…
