Fighting with insurance companies as to why they have changed my rate
New employment insurance or previous employment insurance…. And you aren’t on COBRA are you?
Neither - Car and home insurance
Well first thought is age,.. at least there used to be a bracket thing... Did something get added / removed / changed? A friend had her home insurance get completely side swiped by the fact that she (at the time) need FLOOD insurance.
At an elevation that would be difficult to flood... like,... a major interstate would have had to have been flooded before her house flooded.
They removed my home insurance because they never sent me a couple documents that were needed .
which raised my car insurance rate because they were "bundled" together. It took 3 hours to get to the bottom of it, and had them send over the form electronically , signed and returned.Now we wait to see what they come back with
You didn't foolishly choose GEICO, did you?
no no no lol not GEICO

We actually got a spam account from a tiny company from a village where I grew up. So weird. My county seat as a kid.

2-7 they say, but with the assumption that you take acetaminaphin that prolongs it. No idea why the CDC recommends that even over getting hydrated. You can tell who sponsors the CDC website, can't you!

I just needed to reinstall the OS on two personal devices, one Windows and one Ubuntu. I did them at the same time and Windows 11 installs SO MUCH FASTER than Ubuntu now. Nearly twice as fast. Since when did that happen? The Ubuntu device hardware is much better too...

Did you do minimal or normal on Ubuntu? Ubuntu is massive compared to Windows in default applications. Basically one is full of apps and one has none. So if you do default installs, to do apples to oranges, you'd need to also install MS Office and loads of other tools onto Windows to be a comparison.

I did each install using default settings.
Doing a minimal install with Ubuntu would suck so much, yeah it'd be faster, but then I'd spend hours installing crap+drivers that "should just be there and work" with a Desktop OS like it is with Windows 11. (with the exception of Office, but that's a fast install, too, if it was needed)
The Ubuntu device was for me, the Windows device was for someone else to run some things that don't work well (without a mega time suck) on a Linux desktop OS.
