The real question is, "Should CEOs be Allowed to have Yachts?"

😀

I generally self-insure but not for health. Too many ways the price can skyrocket. Plus you may have noticed on your EOBs how much less the insurance company has to pay compared to what you would pay in cash. Over the decades I have no doubt I've saved a lot of money.

However. My son just got a denial for something like $10k worth of mental health visits. Definitely covered amounts all the way. Sounds like one of those automatic denial directives at work. For an amount like that I think his first move should be to call a lawyer and get his first response under the attorney's letterhead.

For some reason, Marin officials are just now revealing that the child in California with suspected bird flu became ill after drinking raw milk. Not sure why they wouldn’t have known/reported that source of exposure days ago… marinhhs.org/h5n1-bird-flu

Another Democrat derangement syndrome.

There is a musical take off of "Cabaret," called "Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club". Adam Lambert stars as one of the Emcees in the stage performance. There is a video of one of his songs in the show.

I loved his voice and performances in the past, and I check in every once in a while to see what he is up to.

I was really amazed at this comment he made, and I was flabbergasted. For him to compare Trump winning the election to Nazi's in Berlin is ridiculous! He has always been dramatic, but he has obviously been drinking the mainstream KoolAid. Disgusting.

Adam Lambert said, "'I Don't Care Much' is a torch song dealing with indifference that comes at a point in the show where all hope and joy has been eclipsed by the presence of Nazi forces in Berlin. We recorded this track and filmed the video just as the anxiety around the results of the 2024 U.S. election hit our community. There's catharsis in the sadness for the listener, and I hope they can feel seen and realize they're not alone in this moment in time.”

@anubis2814 @thefalcon that's what was said before Biden appointed some new members. I won't accept that nothing could be done about it. It may have taken upnsome political capital, but maybe doing things that people really wanted (in general) could have helped the election efforts
@mark @Joe 🏳️‍🌈 As you said, he appointed some people but not enough. There are things Trump thanking CAN'T do, there were things Biden couldn't do. Trump just tries to break the law and see where the supreme court will give. Biden tried that with student loans, it hit a wall and now he was able to forgive as much debt as possible up to a certain limit, within the boundaries set by the supreme court.

got this amazingly thoughtful gift from one of my colleagues ahead of our move to Aus

Snitch ain't getting shit

Unsurprising that police tip rewards are in fact a scam that require jumping through all manner of hoops to collect. All the more reason to not snitch.

Hahaha fuckin ha. No one likes a grass. @Whufgo a snitch isn’t a whistleblower.
They guy murdered someone. Whether or not we think it's justified, he still should be arrested and have his day in court to prove that. No one ever thinks they are the villain in their own story.

Why is nepotism ok when it’s Trump and Republicans doing it?

All together now:

"THAT'S DIFFERENT!"

Texas has done an excellent job eliminating rabies.

Successful efforts that started in the 90s have now evolved to an innovative approach of distributing a vaccine by airplane every year to wild animals. And stopping rabies in wild dogs and coyotes prevents humans from contracting the deadly virus.

Israel Incursion in Syria Not a Protective Move, But Full-Blown Offensive – Middle East Expert


#Israel #Incursion in #Syria #Not a #Protective #Move , But #Full-Blown #Offensive – #Middle #East #Expert

"Having seized the #Golan #Heights , the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) currently occupy #Quneitra province, 16 kilometers deep into Syrian territory. International watchdogs say the IDF has launched around 300 airstrikes across Syria so far."

Tel Aviv insists its actions are prompted by security concerns. But Furkan Halit Yolcu, security expert and researcher at Sakarya University’s Middle East Institute, rejected Israel's narrative and called its actions an offensive land grab."

A quotation from Smith, Sydney

It is always right that a man should be able to render a reason for the faith that is within him.


Sydney Smith (1771-1845) English clergyman, essayist, wit
Memoir of the Reverend Sydney Smith, by His Daughter, Lady Holland, Vol. 1, ch. 3 (1855)

Today's gender is a sleepy crocodile.

Any suggestions of a nice #eBook store for recent release mass market books that isn't #Amazon #Kindle? (Kindle device compatible is a plus, but at a minimum it should have mobile apps for iOS/Android. Not looking to buy a whole new dedicated e-Reader. I would prefer #DRMFree but I have a feeling that doesn't exist despite it being trivially easy to strip eBook #DRM.)

Edit: I picked one, see thread.
