I had a minor stumble in Paris last month and ended up visiting an urgent care. They took me in and patched me up and sent me on my way. What are the odds a bill will eventually find its way across the Atlantic to me in the US?

I was on a scooter tour of the Champs Elysees when I took a tumble and my glasses took a chunk out of my eyebrow. I was the only person on the tour, so the tour operator called to figure out which hospital to take me to and we scooted over. My wife was back in the hotel room setting up a case with our Cigna International SOS health coverage, who reached out to me while I was filling out the paperwork at the intake / waiting room. "Oh no, that is not one of our hospitals, we'll have to do it as a post-service reimbursement, is that OK?" and yeah that was fine. Maybe 10 minutes later they brought me back to triage to make sure I wasn't in acute danger before sending me back to the waiting room. Maybe another 10 minutes later they brought me back to a private room, the doctor looked at me and said "ah yeah, that will need to be closed up, let me bring in another coworker to confirm", and maybe 10 minutes later my eyebrow was glued up and the doctor was escorting me to a discharge waiting room. 2 weeks later the wound is a tiny little scar hiding behind my eyebrow, so well done, doc, and bravo French healthcare for making an urgent care case take maybe an hour, tops?

But while I was checking if I needed to visit anyone to arrange for payment before I left, they seemed to be being mostly polite about the whole concept of paying for health care and just gave me some discharge paperwork which only has the usual privacy policy fine print on it as well as a brief summation of my treatment. They do have my home address from intake, so it's _possible_, but is it actually likely?

I mean I guess the alternative question is how long do I need to stall Cigna's International SOS before the whole thing turns into an amusing story about how I spent a few hours on vacation in the French ER and getting my glasses replaced before I could finish a coffee at the corner cafe.

For "reasons" (including SUPER-sucky customer service), I want to ditch my paid streaming media player service. Lets call it...JillyWillyPlayer. My sites have been using it for over a decade. I don't need hosting and I'd like to find a more...2024 solution.

I already host all my video files and they exist only on my server. I have my own bandwidth et-al. All I'm really paying JillyWillyPlayer for is the streaming media player that is inside my customers' desired browser.

I don't need a library system (have my own), or a 3rd party server (again, I host all my own and my own bandwidth), I don't need anything that will serve an ad, all I need really is the web-based streaming player.

Click the link ->new window opens with the player in it with the indicated video ready to stream (i.e. not download).

I was looking at Jellyfin and OpenStreamingPlatform but im not sure I need/want ALL that these can do, or if they just do the one little thing i'm looking for.

Free isn't necessary. I'm willing to pay a license or a one-time purchase thing.

Any thoughts, advice or recommendations, gang?

I can't believe I'm asking this disgusting question. I store my sweaters folded on the shelves of an open bookcase near my bed. I just discovered that several of them developed holes since I last wore them. I know for a fact that there was a mouse in my bedroom a couple of months ago and the internet says mice will chew fabric for nesting material, but I don't see a single dropping on the shelves. (My mouse problem has since been resolved.) I also don't see any evidence of moths even inspecting the sweaters under a powerful lighted magnifying lamp, and I never saw any flying, and I would have since it's so near my bed. Help.

La desaparición forzada es una de las violaciones más complejas que atentan el derecho humano y que cientos de familias en Colombia han sido víctimas por tantos años, comprende delitos de privación de libertad y ocultamiento de información sobre su paradero. Las vivencias de cada familia que conlleva el dolor de un ser querido por una desaparición forzada, trae consigo un proceso de duelo que deja heridas abiertas de tristeza y desesperanza por la incertidumbre de su hallazgo.

Existen redes de apoyo que se realizan en familia y con la comunidad víctima de desaparición forzada, para reconfigurar lazos sociales, habilidades y capacidades que permitan seguir en la reconstrucción de la vida a pesar de la adversidad por medio del apoyo psicosocial.

Con el aumento de la expectativa de vida, es necesario que miremos la vejez desde lo económico, lo laboral, lo físico e incluso lo sexual.

Miklós Lukács is one of the world's premier players of the cimbalom, the modern extension of the hammered dulcimer. The progenitors of today's cimbalom, common to many folk traditions, date to Mesopotamia circa 670 BC, or so ancient stone carvings suggest. Lukács is no stranger to folk music, but he is equally at home interpreting Franz List or playing contemporary classical music with noted international orchestras and chamber ensembles...
