If you abstained from voting, remember why you voted in the first place.

She lied about what position she held in Joe Biden's office, retroactively giving herself a higher position.
She lied about her credentials in multiple DV hearings which she claimed to be an expert witness.
She fled to Russia, after 4 years of "being in danger."

But this was true?
Just this?

Tara lied about where she went to college, 3 times.
She lied about working at that college.
She lied about receiving special treatment from the college through some "secret program."
She lied about how long she worked for Biden, only 8 months, not 3 years.
She lied about never taking a Bar exam. (1)

Wind Turbines: California's countryside wouldn't look the way it does without the 1980s investment into the tech, and neither would your countries.
Internet: Did Donald Davies secure his funding from the MOD? I bet you know he didn't!

Is this the "America didn't fund any of those things" comment?
MRI: NSF since 1950.
Radar: Brits couldn't manufacture Cavity Magnetrons at any meaningful scale at all, so we did for them. You're welcome.
Gene trace: Human Genome Project, you're welcome.
Microchips: NASA spurred the whole industry.

If you knew what they were trying to say, you wouldn't find it offensive.
The MAGA argument is that trans is dangerous because "muh predators"
This acknowledges the argument, and asks why the double standard if that's the belief.
Simple as, can't argue with dogmatic belief, so argue with hypocrisy.

We won't pretend that we aren't all Elderly Men on the inside.

Literally nonsense.
America ranks as one of the worst nations for healthcare outcomes.

It's dangerous and stinky. Wild hogs can weigh a bit over 200 lbs. They have sweat glands, so they smell bad. They get spooked easy and are faster than they look.
Good way to break a leg.

This study says JUST the 2014 Medicaid expansion reduced per Capita deaths by 3.6% (a little over 11 deaths per 100,000 per 4 years)
That's over 10,800,000 people, assuming the population was only 300,000,000.

I feel this is good evidence enough.
Did the ACA Medicaid expansion save lives?
We estimate the effect of the Affordable Care Act Medicaid expansion on county-level mortality in the first four years following expansion using restr…

Rice is also a starch, so if starch is added to the scale we end up with a lot of dishes being pushed into the weird zone.

I find a stew requires a protein in most definitions; a dish of "fish, beef, or poultry."
Then the rest. It is also worth noting stew is never boiled, the word stew itself can mean the food, or the process of cooking. Slow simmer, which is done to stew.
Curry can be made pretty hot, even in a wok.

On the specifics of noodles- they also contain proteins, which, if you cooked a noodle until it became dissolved, would remain in the very gross broth. The same of flour applies to noodles, thickening with a dissolved noodle will also add flour to the mix that will emulsify oils into the solution.
December 14, 2024 at 4:17 PM
I will say, stew is thickened with a roux usually, which adds starches, but also adds wheat granules which help emulsify the oils. Gravy can be thickened with roux (flour), or cornstarch/potato starch, which is a clearer way to make a sauce.

It feels too simple. What makes the center intersection strange foods? All foods at the middle of the fold could qualify as soups, thin curry and stews, chilis, and when you get to the highest viscosity, you could have a strange food, or you could have taco meat.

Health outcomes are not influenced by any of those 3 factors.
Health expectancy (amount of useful life unburdened by sickness) is extremely low in the US.
December 12, 2024 at 4:43 PM
It absolutely tells us a lot.
Life expectancy is the MOST ACCEPTED measure of health outcomes, along with health expectancy. Here's a little news, both are terrible in the US.

I see good graphs all the time Hank. I will keep you in mind when I'm looking at them.
December 12, 2024 at 3:50 PM
Literally hogwash. The ACA saved millions of lives. The penalty you're speaking of was at it's highest level in 2016, 2017, and 2018.
GOP tax bill caused the IRS to deny any claim without a check on "insured" starting 2018
It was always illegal to lie to the IRS. The tax bill made it illegal to omit

You weren't paying any attention. It was: "Rich people and a child MIGHT have died. Banging underwater."
"Possibly Alive?"
"Confirmed Dead."
"Highly Detailed Engineering Analysis of The Sub" (interesting all on its own.)
"Submarine Recovery Dive" (interesting on it's own.)
Maybe be interested more?

What's dumb about it?
You say these things, you should substantiate it. Why should I care if someone who's responsible for 150 million yearly claim denials dies? He didn't care when the hundreds of thousands of people died from the 48% of denials made because of "prior authorization"
