  • Google calendar events can be synced through the Apple calendar and at least for me by default have reminders set 30 minutes before. I have my account set up through the mail app, but to check this do the following:

    Go to Settings -> Calendar -> Accounts -> Gmail. Make sure it’s set to sync your calendar. There’s also the ability to add an account here. Then go back to the calendar app and find an event to check if reminders are set.

    You might try adding a cache drive instead. It can help lessen the memory usage zfs needs to maintain speed. My server is spinning rust with an ssd drive attached to the pool as cache.

    Command would be “zpool add pool_name cache /dev/sdX” where pool_name is the pool you want the cache on, and /dev/sdX is the empty drive you want to use with it (or partition). Make sure to encrypt this drive before setting this up, my knowledge is zfs doesn’t do that for you.

    see here for a bit more information on caching.








  • Found the answer on npr:

    It’s difficult to unravel whether the meat itself, or some constituent of the meat, may explain the increased risk of diabetes. Another possible explanation is, people who consume a lot of red meat may have other things in common that could drive up their risk. For instance, excess body weight is a key risk factor for developing type 2 diabetes.

    It turned out, the participants in the study who consumed high amounts of red meat also had higher BMIs. They consumed more calories and were less physically active compared to those who consumed the least red meat. Researchers used statistical methods to adjust for confounding variables. “We found that about half of the excess risk with red meat consumption was explained by excess body weight,” Willett says, “but there was still an increased risk [of developing diabetes] even after taking into account body weight,” he says.

    So basically 50% of the risk was lack of activity/obesity, with the other half variable risks from things like (possibly even primarily) red meat.






  • Sure and the water/milk/olive oil too but those cost pennies per serving so I didn’t really think it was worth adding.

    Gas stove: .02 Olive oil: .10 Milk: .25 Rosemary: .01 Water: .00 (we never go over the minimum so no charge for water) Soap: .005 Flour: $2 (including sourdough starter usage) Brad pan: .02 (estimated wear and tear)

    Total: $2.405 which was close enough to $2 for jazz.



  • I pay $2 a week in flour and maybe $3 for dried fruit a week to put into home made sourdough. You can buy a 10lb. Bag of all purpose flour at all the grocery stores in town for ~ $4.

    If you skip the fruit it would be about half what you’re spending, though if you want whole wheat flour that would probably double the flour cost at a minimum.



  • That is correct. Let’s say me and my dad get cancer. We both have health insurance provided by our employers.

    Dad: Initial deductible (cost before insurance kicks in): $10,000

    Max out of pocket (in network): $20,000

    They cover initial treatment but the anesthesiologist is “out of network.” That charge goes to the separate deductible for out of network costs, dad pays $30k total, of a $500k “sticker price.”

    Me: Deductible: $4,200 Max out of pocket: $4,200

    Initial treatment is covered by insurance, no provider listed as out of network. Total cost to me: $4,200 out of a $500k bill.

    Every insurance is different, each hospital will do different things to get extra money, and you have no way of knowing what 1 piece of the treatment is out of network until after you’ve already had the treatment. Our system sucks
