I imagine the US times are exclusive of the “maybe it will heal on its own and I won’t need to bankrupt myself” pre-doctor waiting period. I know I needed ankle surgery for several years before I gave up and went to the surgeon. I work with a guy who has needed knee replacement for as long as I have known him (and the injuries were not fresh when I met him).

The above waiting periods are not exclusive to non-emergency situations either. I know someone who almost died trying to tough out appendicitis (the appendectomy was more expensive and complicated than it would have been if he had gone immediately as a result).

I really don’t think the above anecdotal evidence are particularly rare or unique either.

Let me help:

“Republicans are murdering immigrants in their sleep and firebombing their churches. Get them before they get you!”

“I’m just joking, bro.” <- Apparently sufficient to avoid prosecution.

If I lived near him, I would post a list of Trump sign addresses and include his. He probably still would lack the cognitive ability to understand that his suggestion was wrong, but I bet he would want to do something about me.

Does this mean we can stop pretending the National Review is journalism? It never has been, but people like to present their stupidity as legitimate discourse. If I had to describe it briefly. I would call it "trying to make being a peasant exploited by your betters seem like a good moral choice using linguistic forms calculated to make the reader feel educated and superior. "

Ukraine ought to bomb this:

I doubt the average Russian gives a shit about P-wad’s expansion ambitions. Make the fight personal to the culprit.

Summer is like 40C. Winter is 13C.

More like “Dammit, my domain auto-remewed again. Oh well, it’s only $12. I’ll cancel next year.” (It’s been 5 years.)

I am around $450 per month in the summer, $75 in the winter. Texas. My rate is nominally $0.087 per kwh, but the taxes make it roughly twice that. I have a big house, but it is pretty energy efficient - 2015 construction with mostly Energy Star appliances. I charge a Nissan Leaf daily.

If I was Alred, I would run an ad with Trump making fun of Cruz’s wife, then Cruz sucking up to Trump, both with dates. Then ask “Do you really think Ted Cruz will stand up for Texans? He won’t even stand up for his own wife.”

It should be a standard line of attack for Dems.

Having used an expensive Metcal, I would like someone to develop that level of performance for less. I want the precise thermostat and high quality tips, but I don’t solder enough to justify the expense. I am happy to see iFixit driving innovation in this market though. Weller needs some real competition.

If somehow Gym Jordan ends up committed, but DJT is free to rape and plunder…

I have been playing it for 6 years. The gun play is great. It gets regular updates. I still have fun. I wish the pvp player pool was bigger so that match making would work better.

Why does everyone always type 7 asterisks?

Can you teach me how to do that on my Geocities page?

I don’t think this game even lasted long enough for word of mouth to have popularized it. I didn’t hear about it until it was dead. I am wondering how many players Helldivers 2 had at 11 days (not a great example because it was an existing IP with existing fans). Could they have made it if the game had actually been good? I am not sure. Shutting down super fast got them more publicity than anything else they did.

Centos 7.3 is iso

Terrorism is an inchoate concept. History is written by the victors. American terrorists dumped tea in Boston Harbor, but they were freedom fighters and revolutionaries because they prevailed. On the flip side, Israel killed a terrorist. How do I know they were a terrorist? Because Israel wouldn’t have killed them otherwise.

Overall, other responders have good answers - equal rights, freedoms, and opportunities. Plenty of bread and circuses. I can’t be motivated to be a terrorist because I would sacrifice too much changing the status quo.

“I don’t want them leaving the building … I don’t want them walking down the road for a cup of coffee." Dude… I would pay money for a cage match between this wanker and the Starbucks CEO (commuting by private jet wanker). Ideally, they’d mortally wound each other.

Gvim. I even write documents in it and then paste them into Word for final formatting.

My face when I realize the dude in this meme is probably mid-40s these days.
