Perhaps I could have included a list of other places as an example that can refuse you for financial reasons. It would have helped for people not familiar with the system..
As far as I know, Hospitals are not allowed to refuse you care; no matter what your finances are, they have to help you. Many people would go to ER for non-ER reasons because it was/is the only way for them to get treatment. (Because other medical centers can refuse you.)
The hospitals will try to get the money from you however they can and they do offer payment plans based on income. Ultimately, though, due many? The debt gets discharged to a debt collection agency that harasses you incessantly for 7 years until it gets discharged from your record.
It destroys your credit (an arbitrary number that every citizen has that supposedly shows how trustworthy they are and how much they are likely to pay you if you loan them money) until it drops off after the statute of limitations (7-10 years, depending on the state).
Dawn Soap, Hot Water, and on anything with cracks that I feel like the sponge won't reach well, I add salt or sugar as a "scrub"! Never had an issue ❤️
Note that I prepare raw food (including chicken) for one of my dogs.
Except that that is a back pedal on their part and their FAQ plainly says they actually have no way of tracking what is a new install versus a re-install; which is why they decided to count all installs to begin with.
Clearly without consulting anyone with a modicum of common sense.
It's also possible its a move to deliberately piss of the customer base, so they can "back off" and implement a solution that still satisfies them, but looks like they let the "customer" (mostly) win.
For example:
"We will charge $.20 for over 200K installs!"
Backpedal:
"We will charge $.05 for only the initial install after 500K installs!"
Pretty sure there are many documented instances of exactly this occurring, especially in the game dev industry unfortunately. (The goal was never the first offer, but rather to overshadow the real goal.)
It is exactly what Unity means; they have doubled down on the clarifications. The precise point is to charge the developer for any install a user makes once they earn a (paltry) $200K.
It's not rocket science to see that this is a very bad, very abusive idea and its targeted to hurt indie developers the most (as larger studios like EA would be on the enterprise plan and therefore on the hook for only 1/20th of the same usage).
Some simple math says that you would have to uninstall and reinstall a $5 game 20 times to completely nullify the earnings from your purchase.
It's surprisingly easy to rack up installs; between multiple devices, uninstalls for bug fixing / addressing, the OS breaking it, modded installs having to be reset, making space for other games, refreshing a device... and so on. And that's not even accounting for bad actors actively trying to damage a company.
Because the city would have to pay for the loss of income from those meters. CPM did a stupidly good job tying up their benefits nicely; if income drops for any reason, Chicago has to pay to make up for it.
From the Canine Competition universe... confirming fortune spent on doggos. I definitely did not spend 4 figures on entries fees for 3 dogs in a multitude of sports in one weekend... ~
Thank you! ❤️
I don't have the means to host my own instance, but once I do a bit more research and understand Lemmy better, I will definitely be making some pet related communities ❤️
Probably. But then, my only experience with it is one dude who felt that if it required a car, you shouldn't do it at all, and everyone should move to a city like NYC or Seattle to use public transportation like buses.
I would like to trains be more reasonable - even if not every 2 minutes. I'd be okay with 30 minutes, if I could get on one with the dogs in tow 😞 It is not pleasant driving 5-12 hours and a train would let me rest.
We have to have a set at the Airbnb and a set at the show; it's much easier to transport extra crates than it is to break them down and haul them back and forth every morning and evening (and takes a distinct amount of time to do). Why 10 and not 8 then? I'm loaning a pair to a friend coming to the same show!
Ha... I use Voyager and had -no clue- that Lemmy supported either one of these features (previously wef wef). Maybe turn it off in your client, or use Voyager?
