7·1 month agoI’d go around unplugging anything that might be connected to the network, like game consoles, smart TV, etc. It’s unlikely, but maybe something has copied that same screen to throw you off.
If you can, power stuff off and check if that web page is still available. Start with any Windows machines. It could be a virtual machine running inside of something else though.
Edit: here’s how to disable that web server https://superuser.com/a/1377078 . I’d do that on any Windows machines as well.
Just please don’t do yyyyMMdd with each field being optional and possibly one or two characters.

Right, some positions are partisan and some aren’t. You can’t vote for partisan positions if you aren’t registered with a party in their primary. It’s not a big deal to register with a party if you really wanted to support a particular person, but hopefully the initiative passes and we don’t have partisan primaries anymore.
Are you taking about closed primaries? You can certainly vote for any position in the general election in Nevada, even without being registered with a party. I’ve been doing it for years
Abortions for some, miniature American flags for others!

Abnormally normal
3·3 months agoYea, I didn’t even go into how much my wife’s nephrectomy cost.
For a real example, my 10 year old swallowed a button battery (yes she should know better). Of course we went to the pediatric ER immediately. She was seen by a doctor, got some X-rays, then puked the battery out. She’s totally fine. In the end I’m paying about $2000 out of pocket for that. That’s on top of the monthly premiums I and my employer pay.
My premiums are about $280 per month for health, dental and vision for me and my kids. Premiums are pre-tax so there’s a bit of savings there. My employer pays about $1100 per month on top of what I pay. My wife is on her employers plan because they would charge about triple that for all of us to be in the same plan. that’s about $100 per month for her.
On top of that I have a special pre-tax savings account for health expenses only called a Flexible Spending Account, which helps a bit but it’s kinda silly and not very flexible. I have to determine at the beginning of each year how much I might spend that year, then that amount will be taken automatically out of my checks. If I don’t spend it all, it’s gone.
I really recommend this video to understand (or not) the complexity of the US health care system https://youtu.be/-wpHszfnJns?si=Wi48w7TCkETdIUQQ
