  • That’s interesting, because I was diagnosed with hemochromatosis last year, and I go to the local blood donation center and bloodlet every 4 weeks. They don’t consider it a standard donation, but a therapeutic phlebotomy. But both my blood doctor and the donation center state that my blood is still used as if it were a donation, and I don’t pay anything.

    I wonder why there’s a difference.

    If you’re talking about the cheese called “American cheese”, then it’s somewhat polarizing in preferences. But just like all cheeses, it’s made for a very specific purpose: in this case, being amazing at melting. As a result, it’s best on cheeseburgers, grilled cheese, mac and cheese, etc. But it also has a distinct, mild flavor that some don’t like.

















  • I don’t believe the company being sued gets to keep the money, but how I think it works is:

    Company is sued. Judgement happens for $X million, they pay that to the settlement fund. The lawyers take their fee for working the case. The remaining money is then split among those affected by the company’s actions.

    So the reason you should claim it is because you’re losing out on your share. But if you (and others) don’t, those that do get a larger share.

    The idea here is that you only file if you were affected by the actions. The payout is your damages from those actions.



  • There’s a whole bunch of communities that just isn’t my taste. Know what I do? Just block those communities. Bam, done, and I never have to think of it again. Or individual users, etc.

    Don’t understand why that’s so difficult instead of spreading hate for no reason, or downvoting something that fits the /c/.
