In what country is having insurance superior to having care? The care is always the goal.

I would change “health insurance” to “health care”. I have had better care when uninsured and negotiating prices in cash than when I had terrible health insurance I couldn’t afford to use and never got any care.

Everything is better than our miltary’s trash

We have it in some of our northern states and we are not impressed. You can do better than that.

Well everyone born in the year 1900 is dead, so there’s that.

This is me too with my 2020 Crosstrek. A little screen for the backup camera that also shows the navigation and Spotify from my phone. No lane monitoring or any of that stuff. And I do like deciding when I want to shift.

I’d add to that, “The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.”

I’m not a fan of the show at all, I don’t care if dudes want boobs and dresses but I’m not entertained or interested. Even expressing something like that bhas gotten me shouted down before, the violence definitely is coming from inside the fan base.

It’s just dumb rich people stuff. Hand sewn camel hair and silk and stupid stuff. They don’t have to sell them everywhere, they sell at a handful of elite shopping locations. The champs Elyse, the Koenigsallee. They go hand in hand with $200k watches and yachts.

A couple of years ago we had to do our roof, our water heater, some foundation work, and our HVAC. Cost almost $50k exactly in total but it’s all paid for now. No debt except my mortgage, but I have a great interest rate so I probably wouldn’t pay it off early. I’d put $50k towards a new truck.

How relaxed or strict are your immigration laws? I paid $40 just to park my car for a few hours a few days ago.

It’s not quite enough, but I need a new truck. So I’d pull out another $20k and get one with no payment. I haven’t had any debt other than my mortgage in years and I’m trying to keep it that way.

Luxury beds can run above half a million dollars. How much bed money would you have left bafter paying off your debt?

If you want a roof over your head, most places have property taxes of $3-4k per year even if you own it outright. If you want to ever leave your house a car costs about $5-10k per year. If you aren’t living on rice and beans food costs about $3-6k per year. This doesn’t include any clothing, taxes, medical expenses, hobbies, travel, or other bills like water, natural gas, electric, etc.

If you’re incredibly frugal and quality for public assistance, $50k might last you a few years in the US.

Not colored blocks but I’m on level 235xxx on Wordscapes. Team play sucked me in, it’s the only mobile game I play.

Ded

That just hasn’t been my experience, or my wife’s. I set her up with a laptop running Linux mint and she’s constantly complaining about needing to look up command scripts to type in the terminal to get things to work. I have been experimenting with different distros for fifteen years and it has been difficult enough that I’m still primarily a Windows user (my gaming and my job both have things I haven’t gotten to work otherwise).

I feel like Linux needs to be just a little bit more accessible to the tech-illiterate too. It is getting closer but go show some uninitiated person a Linux forum where power users are talking about maintaining their system daily or weekly, the average person is going to still nope out. I run Linux and and Windows, but if Mac could run more games I’d think about giving them a try because they all suck in their own special way.

They’re trying to kill the home PC. They’ll have all of the computing power and we’ll have subscription access.

I’ll chime in as another in a job with worse pay and benefits going nowhere.
