We have waiting times too, the more elective it is the longer it is.

For my yearly checkup, the first time I went, their first availability was 3 months later. It’s the same time every year now because I book next years appointment at each visit.

I thought I needed a CPAP, I had to wait a week to get the home sleep study equipment and then two more weeks to meet with the doctor. I had a copay of $50 with that doctor but had to buy the CPAP for about $800

I scheduled a vasectomy and it took 3 months for the consult and another 6 for the procedure and it cost $750 out of pocket.

I pay $350/no for my insurance plan which has now has no copays and no coinsurance until I reach my yearly deductible of $3500 (which means I pay 100% of all medical costs before my insurance does anything) and my employer covers about $300/mo. So $7800/yr in total to basically just have protection in case a major accident happens.

July 16th is the 197th day of the year on non leap years. July 17th is the 199th day of the year on leap years.

Both of those are prime.

Our company pays for TeamViewer, and I still get nagged all the time, so there’s no point in giving them money, they still nag you all the time.

Public Service Broadcasting - Race To Space.

Go! (From the album)

The whole album is just them playing music to sound bytes from the space race era.

These incidents shouldn’t happen with proper checks during registration. Registration should safeguard against this by checking voter eligibility.

Headline makes it seem like he voted multiple times in the same election. It’s just stating that he registered to vote 9 times under felony probation since early 2000s.

I thought it was bullshit those Florida felons got in trouble for voting after registration didn’t safeguard them, we should think it’s bullshit he is getting the same treatment.

It wasn’t in the same ejection. Head line is misleading

Fen Research? What an odd company name for a game studio. I would expect a company name like that would be harvesting user data for something.

Another thing to consider is just because someone says something that is not true based on reality, doesn’t mean they lied. People’s memories are terrible and easily manipulated.

If they weren’t ambiguous, then you wouldn’t see them getting popular. The difference of opinion drives engagement which means it’s more likely to show in your feed because that’s how most social media algorithms work.

Things that everyone agrees on don’t get engagement, so they don’t bubble up to the top.

Pineapple and pepperoni is better, because pepperoni tastes better than ham

I don’t think Vader is idolized because of his morals, it’s because his character is cool.

Some balance does exist that not even the right fight for. Violent felons, sexual felons, and sometimes domestic abusers lose their right to bear arms even after they’ve done time served.

It’s also an extra penalty to be armed while drunk (maybe it’s just DUI?) or while trafficking drugs.
