I just spent four months in hospital in the UK. How screwed (financially) would I be in the US? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Almost all of these comments are talking about the total billed amount, which is correct. On most plans, you'd hit a certain amount, and they'd start covering a larger portion of the bill. But your out of pocket expense would definitely be in the hundreds per day, (thousands if bad insurance), while the insurance company would pretend they did you a huge favor.

.ml still going to find a way to say Ukrainians are the Nazis though, and The Base are the good guys with just a weird shape on their flag.

Something that keeps you zoned in and focused, present but excited for what comes next--I get it!

Such a freaking sick record and group. Hearing J Mascis on drums and King Tuff singing and shredding metal, you can tell they are having a ton of fun switching gears from their main projects and focusing on the type of hard rock they grew up headbanging to.

May sound odd, but this is one of the best albums ever to cook a big meal to lol.

How many people have confused stone mason and Freemason when you've told them what you do?

Biden announces proposal to replace all lead water service lines in US within 10 years in c/news@lemmy.world

Which is exactly why federal funds are necessary for it rather than local. The places that need this most tend to be those with the least money for local infrastructure, but if the money doesn't have to come from the cash-strapped local budget, that's not an issue.

Projects are already underway and have replaced our two lagest lead service lines in the medium-small Illinois city where I live via federal funding over the last year. City literally just applied for the funds from this same program and hired private contractors once the funds were approved. About 3 months of construction on each of the 2 roads under which our main service lines run, and now lead has been fully removed from 60% of residents water supply, with the last 40% to occur over the next 18 months.

It's been pretty simple.

Less astringency: Grind finer (sh.itjust.works)

A lot of people already know this, I'm sure, but it's a bit counterintuitive, and here's hoping it helps any beginners scrolling through.

This is particularly the case for pour over and drip coffee. I long assumed that an astringent flavor/feeling, sorta mouth-drying and unpleasantly mouth-watering at the same time, with a biting aftertaste, was a result of over-extraction, since it can feel sorta similar to bitterness. With that, it seemed to make sense to grind coarser, which obviously didn't help.

In the end, going significantly finer brought a much fuller and sweeter extraction, minimizing the astringency without increasing bitterness at all.

A caveat, of course, astringency can indeed come from over-extraction, so this isn't a guarantee. If you're already coarse, try finer. But if you're grinding super fine, the opposite might go for you/those beans.

TL;DR: if you are having issues with astringency, it might be intuitive to go for a lighter extraction with a coarser grind, but try going finer for richer flavor instead.

Pre-registered for Boost since it was my go-to Reddit app. It released and auto-downloaded today, and I don't even feel like opening it after coming to like Connect so much. (sh.itjust.works)
 

Title basically says it. Connect offers all of the functions I'd chosen Boost for on Reddit, and there are pretty few bugs for me. Nice job folks.

RAM for Lenovo P15 (sh.itjust.works)
 

Hey folks, and many apologies if this is the wrong place to post this. Upgrading the RAM on my laptop will be my first ever PC parts purchase and upgrade of any kind, and I have no idea what I'm doing after looking through parts options. I am wondering how I can know if a given RAM stick will fit in and work with the P15, and if anyone has any options on where I should buy it from. Thanks so much in advance and sorry for such a rookie question.

First-timer with no knowledge whatsoever: How do I know what RAM to get for my computer? (sh.itjust.works)
 

I have a Lenovo P15 Gen1 laptop with easily accessible ram slots. I have never purchased parts for a PC or done any upgrades myself. I think I understand the process well enough, but I'm lost in all the RAM types and model numbers. How can I tell which sticks will fit and work with the P15, and where's the best spot to order them in the US? Thanks for any help with such a basic question.
