It’s been difficult to find manual transmisssions for a couple of decades here in the US. That ship has sailed.
While most of my life I vowed my kids would learn manual, I gave up on that idea because
My kids started driving in a world of automatics and will soon be in a world with no transmissions
All you gotta do is follow the law, the law of gravity. Start at the top and work your way down.
Please tell me this is made up. I still can’t get past the hygiene problems of nose piercings when you have a cold, to even imagine how awful this would be
Maybe they were curious?
You don’t say “sue-knee” for “CUNY” (City University of New York) Etc.
Of course not, then it would conflict with SUNY (State University of New York)
And even more annoying, JavaScript is not correctly uppercased for common styles
f*ck. You can even occasionally get away with spelling it like this
When I first encountered it, it was by hearing it. It took longer than it probably should have to recognize that when people talked about “engine x”, they meant “in-jinks”
From over here in one of the bluest states, believe me I know. The rest of y’all struggling to vote against fascism, and we’re trying to hit 70% blue
Which side my vote is on also hasn’t changed in decades. Arguably a big reason I live where I do is finding other people who also vote for our future, everyone’s well being. However voting between fascists and centrists isn’t good for anyone
You’re spending a lot of time trying to defend that it could be worse when everyone is saying it needs to be better. You’re trying to defend the status quo on the ground that no coverage would be worse when everyone else is saying the rest of the civilized world has examples doing much better
they only denied between 18-32%
Only
health insurance allows more people to get coverage than without
Yet there are more than two choices. It’s not useful to claim the current system is a net positive because the only worse option is no coverage
you can and should appeal those coverage denials
Every medical provider I’ve dealt with has people to handle this. They have to spend money hire extra people to redo paperwork, resubmit claims, until it comes through. Is this a good use of anyone’s time or money?
When did you vote on this? I never had such an opportunity
How many would die if our health care system wasn’t designed to deny claims, didn’t insert paperwork, process and overhead, didn’t incorporate huge profiteering opportunities? How many would die if everyone were covered? How many would die if coverage were a medical decision instead of medical decisions forced by affordability? How many would die if there were no need for medical debt and bankruptcy?
That’s the pitcher I use to refill my humidifier! Does the meme represent the dichotomy between humidifier in winter and lemonade in summer?
I had all sort of dirt on my boss who was kissing ass to climb the corporate ladder
I had one where I had just spent like a year training my idiot boss on the systems, just for him to turn around and say I didn’t do anything, but during the exit interview he kept waving around a list of my shortcomings that was literally a blank page
That was the one where I was foolish enough to be willing to it in all sorts of crazy hours, I was willing to be the first one on, I was willing to be last one out, I was willing to also do his job of a daily status, but I finally drew a line at “and”. This was a startup where we all worked crazy hours - I felt I had to point out that I couldn’t physically do first in and last out: I’d get more sleep working overnight
It was closed down in 2018 because so few Americans used it
I was getting excited up until this point. It’s too late for my kids now but I wish we knew about this
Edit: oh, it was only there for a few years, and we were having a medical crisis at the time. We wouldn’t have been paying attention
Bank interest rates will never be a path to wealth. At most they help your money stay even with inflation, but usually not even that. This is a reliable low risk way to park money that might npbe needed on short notice, such as an emergency fund
investments might make you wealthy, over a very long time, assuming prudent choices. However usually risk is inversely proportional to reward: you can also lose a lot very fast, or you might only make middlemen wealthy. Investing is a huge topic area with all sorts of sometimes conflicting advice.
However looking historically there has never been a, was it decade, where the SP500 stock index lost money. The most reliable way for most people to raise their status might be:
So true - I have a huge overwhelming cleanup job and finally broke it down to …. How about just collect obsolete electronics like cordless phones in a box for recycling? That’s it. Quick and easy. But I’m successfully ignoring it
I bought a civic in 2006 and it took 6 weeks to get one. A manual would have taken much longer
