I remember when I got an x ray bc I slipped on ice while holding my baby daughter so I had to tank the impact to protect her.... I didn't break anything and was surprised by how much that hurt. jump ahead 6 months I was in a car crash and broke 3 ribs and a foot.... I thought "O THIS is broken rib pain"..... I was a fool 😬

for those interested, the X-Ray technician goes into the other room because they receive way more radiation than you do. Moving to another room allows them to mitigate the dose. Gaving also mentioned the x-ray video, which is fluoroscopy, and is typically a much lower amount of radiation in comparison to an x-ray/CT

@SirDarmok "they receive way more radiation than you do" doesn't exactly explain it fully. When you get an X-Ray, you take one (or a handful) of pictures, and you're done, that's your radiation. The technician has to do this dozens of times per day, every day, for years. THAT's how they'd receive way more radiation than you do.

When I first became a firt member I regularly watched old content at 1.25-1.5% speed. It's a good way to listen to some podcasts. Some videos were ruined at that speed others were ok at that speed.

@designatedRooster I go through phases of needing to catch up with twitch streamers to watch a live video later in the day. I watch those vods or youtubd uploads at 2x speed without having any issues.

Damn That’s expensive for an X-ray I just got a couple X-rays a month ago on my knees and it was only 40$ total for both

@mattbaca Did you have insurance? In the US if you don't, there is still Medicaid (insurance). Barb, as a Canadian citizen, doesn't qualify for Medicare/Medicaid (and her RT insurance probably treated it as 'informative' rather than as a necessary or covered expense).

San Francisco may have the highest median price but Atherton continues to be the most expensive Zip Code with homes ranging from 8m-30m and sometimes more. On top of that, houses in the SF Bay Area are selling for up to 1m over asking price. I.e., 1.5m home selling for 2.5 or 2m homes going for 3m

Barbara's Mayor Quimby is pretty dead on. I bet she could pull of a really good Arlene Sorkin Harley Quinn.

The sky apartment type things aren't for "normal" rich people. They're for oil royalty caliber rich people for whom tens of thousands of dollars is literally no object. There's a reason carriers like Etihad and Emirates have them.

@omniscientzeus Only real oil barons like Abraham H. Parnassus can afford that kind of luxury.

Ballz is brick breaker but millenials and gen z'ers like myself wouldn't know to call it that. I'm sure if barb said brick breaker Gus would have jumped on the opportunity to talk about it
