Thailand. Private pay.

Take a ride share car to the private hospital.

Greeted by concierge when I walk in. She asks why I’m here and then directs me to another desk on another floor.

Entering the next room feels a bit like a hotel lobby. There are big sofas and comfortable lighting. It feels cozy even though it’s a large space. There’s a Starbucks. Another concierge approaches me. I explain why I’m here and I’m sat down and handed an iPad where I can fill in some medical background. They have my record from a previous visit so it’s quick. I confirm that I will pay with a credit card instead of using any insurance.

In about 10 minutes I’m brought to a room where a nurse catches my weight and blood pressure. Then I’m brought to the patient exam room.

A few minutes later the doctor comes in and performs his examination. He makes his diagnosis types some notes into his computer. He asks me to come back for a follow-up in one week and pick up my prescription on the way out.

Leaving the exam room, another nurse catches me to hand me the diagnosis paperwork and points me to the pharmacy.

I walk to the pharmacy and hand them my paperwork. They collect my payment for the whole visit and ask me to wait until my name is called to pick up the prescription.

About 10 minutes later the prescription is ready and I’m out the door with a small bag of drugs and about $125 out of my wallet.

The service is comprehensive and everything is available in one building. For this country it’s a bit expensive but you feel like you’re very well taken care of and it’s instant.

Makes sense, it seems like Caddy is like a Swiss army knife and nginx is now the whole Home Depot.

A decade ago or so nginx was the swiss army knife to Apache

I’m an old school nginx pro. So I keep using nginx for reverse proxies because it’s what I know. What does caddy have to offer (or traefik is anyone wants to jump in)? Are they just optimized for this function and more modern?

I think Gary Ridgway, the green river killer from the Seattle area, famouslygot out of questioning because he seemed honest and unintelligent. The cops didn’t think it could possibly be him.

Echo chambers and all, yeah it’s likely TikTok has this issue too. TikTok gives you content you want to see, because you’ll stay around and watch more ads. No surprise here.

conservative TikTok users tend to stick together. They rarely follow accounts with opposing views or mainstream media accounts. Liberal users, on the other hand, are more likely to follow a mix of accounts, including those they might disagree with.

That’s weird and somewhat descriptive of my anecdotal experience with many people I know. I wonder why this is.

All these minorities may share a common problem yet it’s unlikely they have the same vision for the solution.

That’s actually pretty cool. That thing might be forgot about and then found again 10,000 years from now

Is that car in some kind of orbit, or did we just send it?

Or at least paying the bill from the security company

Whoa. Poland sure decided to show up for the party in 2024. I wonder why…

Still miss RiF and what reddit used to be.

For much of reddit’s best years, RiF was my top app.
