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.

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.

In comic, dystopian reality, selling drugs (really just weed) was how I graduated college debt-free, and graduating without debt was the only way I could take out/afford a loan for a house.

So apparently, it's true what they say, whether planting or selling trees, the best time to do it was 10 years ago. The second best time is now! (Except don't)

That's shocking. Everyone knows that's a crowd pleaser that transcends races and identities

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.

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.
