Neat. Fuck hospitals though. Scratch that. Fuck the whole medical industry. Friend recently bought a $400 wheelchair that wouldnt have cost more than $100 to make

The Health Industry in the US really sucks :frowning: meanwhile I think my mothers wheelchair cost around £100($130) when she got it and even before that one had one on loan from the NHS and it cost us nothing.

bunch of that is gov intrusion though :stuck_out_tongue:

other stuff like lasik, breast implants, botox etc significantly cheaper than similar medical procedures,

like if you just had big bewbs and wanted to be more slim, getting a reduction would probably be a fraction of the cost, of getting tissue removed for say breast cancer, eventhough its very much almost exactly the same thing

since you cant shop around for the cancer one, its just the whatever backroom you cant go into negotiation price the medical coder/billing people at the hospital setup with the specific insurance company

a bunch of times shit is cheaper out of pocket than the insurance cost

then you get thinks like uk having great subsidized dentistry/orthodontics :stuck_out_tongue:

TL;DR A kid wanted to meet linus and the whole ordeal is making linus have a mid life crisis

You really can’t blame him, he’s put a hell of a lot into LinusTechTips and what he’s created and given to the world stepping back is one hell of a kick.

Lol how strange… Though tbh if he didn’t necessarily retire but just managed the company and showed up on WAN show instead of being in all the content would actually be pretty nice?
But he’s also probably pretty set up anyway so meh.

Its always just a matter of time or leaving it long enough so people forget. The CEO of Epic has been very vocal in the past about his dislike for Linux and alternative platforms and that the Epic Store won’t ever support them and if it can’t run on their platform might as well cut it :frowning:

The contrast between the two is staggering. Valve would want nothing more than for everything to use Linux and does all it can to make it the very best experience, right now I can pretty much play my entire SteamLibrary on Linux without much trouble at all and that goes a long way.
