Not the most ideal link, but this page describes how to find all media that a webpage loaded into your browser in Firefox. All browsers should be able to do this.

This will virtually always work for images, and will sometimes work for videos. This way, you don’t have to deal with any external extensions, programs, or downloaders (which can be sketchy).

If it doesn’t work, you could try DownloadThemAll. It’s a browser extension that might be able to get some of the hidden stuff that your browser can’t extract through the normal method.

If that also doesn’t work, go with whatever any other comments suggested, but be safe! Lol

A public system specifically would mean it’s run by the government. So that would need to be created by the government. Which means you’d need all relevant voting systems to vote in favour of it, which isn’t likely… especially given the last presidential election.

I imagine the biggest challenge of creating a non-profit health insurance thing is one of two things.

Firstly, anyone who has that much money would probably rather open a charity.

Secondly, people actually DO commit fraudulent claims, or try to claim things that they don’t need or that the health insurance company decided that they won’t cover. If the company doesn’t try to filter these out, it’d be losing more money than it expected to…and it’d go out of business.

Another factor is that being in the insurance business is already a losing model if you want to do good in the world. Hospitals will charge jacked up rates because they don’t have to worry about what a person can pay. They try to extract as much as they can out of the big insurance corporation, since the patient doesn’t care what the insurance company has to pay. So this non-profit insurance company would be paying as much as any other insurance company, more than any patient would be paying, and so it’d be losing money even just paying out all of its valid and covered claims, let alone the fake and unnecessary ones.

So, maybe you want to partner with the hospitals because, why should you pay as much as the evil companies, right?

Well, that sounds great from a consumer sense. But from a business perspective, that’d be suicide for the hospital – why would any other insurance company do business with that hospital if they’re giving one company discounts unfairly?

Or…maybe they do give discounts. But then they make less money and can’t pay the doctors as much (who can leave for work elsewhere), or buy the newest equipment, etc.

But if they do want to give discounts and just charge the company what things actually cost…at that point, you might as well be a charity.

And even then, you still need to budget for validating the claims that come in, because how do you choose who gets covered, and within that group, who gets priority?

Your writing style looks very young. I would’ve guessed that you were in high school, maybe on the earlier end.

If it’s friends online, you might want to focus on that. Proper capitalization and periods would help.

If it’s in real life, then you probably act or “feel” younger than you are. It could be something like not having “street smarts”.

To anyone outside of Canada, the majority of our population lives where a cheap roof is about $100,000. As is each of the 4 walls. Plus the floor too. (So like $600,000)

Or you could rent a bachelor’s apartment for like $2000/month.

I played A Blurred Line back in the day and loved it. I wish it would turn out that the creator ended up making an indie game or something, but I fear its story will never be completed.

Ahaha awesome, thanks.

Looks like it wouldn’t work well in Australia unless the models are not very privacy-conscious…lol

That would cost an insane amount of money and be wildly politically unpopular (why do immigrants get so much help before paying a single dollar in taxes when American citizens are struggling?).

And what’s the point in blocking the entire border if anyone can become “an American within the day”?

Oh, interesting! I wonder if that blocks the entire country, or just the region. And no, I’m not opening that link at work, lol

I think it goes by IP address of both the viewer and the uploader.

Australians are more likely to upload videos with Australian accents, and those are more likely to be shown to people in Australia. And they watch them, so viewership increases within the Australian market, so the algorithm continues down that line.

You might still be thinking of it as discreet. It would kind of be like having infinite tax brackets.

But yeah, I too think it would be too confusing.

I’m not sure how to interpret “liegal”

Lie + legal

I think what they’re saying is that it shouldn’t be in steps, the tax rate should increase as income increases.

So $11 would be taxed at A.2, $12 at A.4, $13 at A.6 and so on. And $11.50 at A.3.

As it is, it’s more discrete than continuous (from a mathematical perspective). Another problem is that it usually stops. Like where I live, and it tops out at about $250,000.

It reduces the onus on businesses and places it on the government (and this indirectly, taxpayers).

Better for small businesses to hire and thrive.

“But I don’t want my taxes to go up!”

Maybe you just need more tax brackets. Where I live, for some reason, a specialized doctor making $250,000/yr is in the same tax bracket as some C-suit making $900,000.

I definitely need more tax brackets where I live.

“there friends” would be like… friends that are somewhere else. As opposed to “here friends”, I guess

I have to admit that the anticipation of launching a PS1 game is nostalgic for me. I feel like that’s the last time that loading screens were bearable. At least until we got SSDs and indie games, lol

PS3 era, though that’s pretty much on the edge of what retro gaming would be.

My PS3 mostly became a Rock Band machine, so I didn’t play most of the other big games of the generation. I also associate the console with the poorest reliability of any console I’d ever had, the longest loading times, and the longest startup times. (Needing to download updates before you could play your game)

I had tons of great gaming memories with the console, even outside of Rock Band, but I just don’t have nostalgia for the era (outside of the golden era of Western-developed Rhythm games).

Ohhh, thanks for the info!

Just don’t use it for mass mailing external addresses. That’ll get you on a blacklist faster than you’d think.

What do you mean by this?

Outwordly trans people make up like 1% of the population. So one incident could screw with the stats more than you’d like.

I don’t think it would, especially if you look at it over a period of time.

It could definitely be misrepresented, but anyone with the intellectual curiosity to look at ratios would probably be less likely to misrepresent it.

Even by population ratios, that’s gotta be really rare.
