Kaiser Permanente is not for profit and not publicly traded. It’s not perfect, and it’s not cheap, but having dealt with America’s other insurance options, IMHO, it’s the best option in the US… if they’re in your state, and if you take the time to learn how to navigate an HMO.
Its not cheap, but it’s not nearly as expensive as the alternatives, and the don’t deny claims as much.
I’m still grumpy that everyone decided to start pooping again.

This is unrealistic. Those showers would be an open floor plan. Gen X wrote so many songs and movies about hating cubicals that were not allowed to have any walls now.
His mistake was being totally nude under the trench coat.
This would actually be a pretty dope halloween costume.
My guess is that they picked the bottom and side tile, and didn’t realize that large tiles are a pain in the ass on curved surfaces. They require a lot of time to cut and mortar. Sheets of penny tiles are already cut into something that can flex on a curve.
But sane people usually continue the penny tile up one of the flat sides so you don’t have a hodgepodge of different stuff.
I see blue tile on the wall, penny tile on the sloped edges that transition to the base of the pool, hexagon tiles on the bottom of the pool, and the brown edge is what happens when a drained pool collects rain water and dirt. Drained pools usually have some sort of nasty dirt stain or mosquito cesspool in the deep end.
Rookie shit. Real pros plant two palm trees and stake them so they grow into an X.
I’ve been looking at this meme for years, and this is the first time that I’m looking at it with a remodel in mind.
Why did someone decide to finish it with 3 different types of tile?
That setting has nothing to do with facial recognition. Here’s what it covers. https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/data/en/ask-siri-dictation/
It’s basically for allowing the voice assistant team to improve recognition by collecting references data, and for using usage behavior decide how to best sort search suggestions, when you like to use certain widget, and who should be prioritized in share sheet for certain apps at certain times. It’s pretty rudimentary.
Yup. It does this.
The image recognition has always been done with an on-device facial recognition model. Been this way since iOS 10, I think.
It’s just trying to find and group patterns of similar looking things, it’s not collecting and tracking you in the cloud.
Seems like the consensus in this community has generally been “that thing is mildly interesting, but it’s not for me. Especially not at $3.5k”
We just changed insurance and were able to get through with one provider that valued preventative care more, but our new insurance company is a complete pain in the ass. And the person in my family dealing with the insurance company actually works for the company and knows all the ins and outs.
They even give their own employees crap policies.
Same. I feel like, a few decades ago, you could make a good argument that PPO land gave you more choice in exchange for higher fees. But these days, the good private practices are completely slammed, and I honestly think it’s faster and easier to find a good doctor or specialist in Kaiser.
The crazy thing is that my spouse works for one of America’s PPO insurance companies, and she’s rather use my Kaiser plans. The care is better and the out of pocket is way less.
