  • It’s basically nothing new, pharmaceutical companies are charging 1000% markup on the cost to produce drugs. I’m sure the story is supposed to be that United health isn’t covering any of that cost, but they sure beat around the bush saying it. A pharmaceutical conglomerate (PBM) is accusing people of Cherry picking data and that the median out of pocket cost for medicines are $5. Considering how cheap most non-life saving drugs are, it’s a bit of a cop out since we’re talking specifically about cancer treatments, not high doses of ibuprofen. Which they’re probably also charging 1000% or greater of wholesale, because it probably costs a few pennies to manufacture those medications.




  • I’ve got you beat. 32gb emmc laptop.

    I need every last mb on this thing. It’s kind of nice because I literally cannot have bloat, so I clear out folders before I forget where things went. I only really use it for the internets and to ssh into my servers, but it’s also where I usually make my bootable USB drives, so I’ll need 2-5 gb free for whichever ISO I want to try out. I really detest the idea of downloading to one USB, then dd-ing that to another. I should probably start using ventoy or something, but I guess I’m old school stubborn.

    I tried using flatpak and docker, but it’s just not gonna happen.
