    GPS vs Maps

    We periodically do orienteering to maintain our skill. Once you can read a map, it's fairly elementary to follow a map.

    Are E-Bikes Safe For Young Teenagers?

    Comment was "many", not "any". I had an MG Midget that weighed 1600ish pounds. Did some quick googling since the Midget, the lightest thing we've owned was a 1977 F100 pickup at around 3400#. Found it enlightening that our current Subaru Ascent weighs 500# more than our older Cadillac Deville...

    Are there really many cars that weigh that little? Must be a California thing.

    I never agreed with Peta until today.

    Slightly different case, but similar potential reason: i just got quotes for AL wrapping the jamb before a new garage door install. They varied from $300 to $1400. The high price folks said "we're pretty busy right now, but what do you need." In your example, won't try to guess why such a...

    Hopefully Original Medicare doesn't pay willy nilly; DOGE will fix that if needed. I review my UHC Medicare Advantage (same b4 I started Medicare) online statements to make sure the provider isn't charging me more than allowed. I have seen provider's charges "in process" for several months...

    Do some reasearch on the cost of liability insurance for a physician in the US.

    That sucks; I can see not all insurance is the same. And as you documented, it's a charger (hospital) problem, not payment assistance (insurance) problem. Did you try after seeing the insurance claim "never mind, I'll pay out of pocket instead"? I've had a few meds that were cheaper with GoodRx...
