In the USA either my doctor takes the blood, or in certain cases, they have Labcorp or similar do the test (I asked and it was because they didn't have the proper vial labels to do the blood test in house). I also get copies of the test and it has the logo of the testing company.

So yes

But you HAVE to get karma for having the right opinion.

Are you actually saying that a particular aspect of the Roman economy/society is applicable to something entirely different and completely irrelevant in the modern day?

The negativity is from people who only read the title. The book content's are about skills to be friendly. Some people over index on the skills to being off-putting because it's such a popular book that many can tell when you're using "skills" from the book

Like half the article is about why these cookies are popular in flight

Woah, you can't do that. It only requires only no effort to save money when you have tech salaries.

Well, if they don't know how to do the work, they fail the exams

>In the US you have to put your hand on a Bible or equivalent when testifying in court.

No you don't. Why is this lie allowed to perpetuate?

I think maybe Srinivasa Ramanujan? Maybe not a full crackpot, but defo not worth spending time on because his work looked like Aliens came by and dropped a textbook.

I forget the quote, but one of the guys that recognized that he was worth looking into said something to the effect of "his work was too crazy for him to be crazy".

Also fun fact, STS-1 the Orbiter was found to be so damaged, Young said if they knew about it, they would have ejected

Man, its amazing how confident you are about this, considering I know individual people who independently work at Visa, Mastercard, AND Apple, who have worked on mobile payments who independently confirm that none of them know any personal info and that its all pass-through.

So, are you sure you know what you are talking about?

So no numbers?

> 29.7 Trillion on entitlements excluding social security

Convenient to exclude SS for ... no reason other than it makes your numbers look better because its a vast majority of entitlement spending so it makes your argument look bad.

May I ask you provide numbers including all entitlement spending, which includes SS?

This is what I meant by knowing what the numbers are.

Have fun comparing defense vs welfare/entitlements per year.

Link the comparison please. I already know what the numbers are

I'll bet that is less of an issue than the issue of evacuation.

Currently, aircraft seatbelts are designed for very quick release when needed with no training or muscle memory needed, shove your hand at your waist and pull the metal flap and it immediately comes apart. This seems like it could be an issue with baby carriers, since a) you can probably expect a bit more complex arrangement of straps buckles and b) lack of muscle memory or training on presumably a different style of carrier than what you ever ever use outside an airplane.

A second issue that comes to mind, how to do seating arrangements? Imagine a parent struggling to remove baby during a emergency. Imagine a 3 seat row window side, where others are stuck waiting for parent to release baby.

This seems like a certification nightmare

Should Doctors have a legally enforced max pay? Same with the web devs, max $150K, anything else is just profit driven bullshit right?

Easy. PE 99% of the time buy businesses that were already failing and provide a lifeline. A failing business can't afford to pay for expensive medical treatments without a loan that a bank will not provide since it is failing.

People who are vehemently against PE generally do not have any idea of how the system works

Yes, he has a BA in physics

At high levels of play Zerg is generally considered significantly stronger than the other races. So I generally will assume AI will tend to pick Zerg

This has not been true since 1977 at the very least, but Fourth Amendment exception at the border has been around for longer than even that.

You understand that no one actually believed that lie. It was built to stop people from running to west Germany.

> Using Aristotle's deductive reasoning, I also believe we exist within a black hole.

Wut

This is a almost entirely oversimplified take on the Great Depression to the point of meaninglessness

For a decade before Black Thursday,there had been many things that were signs that the economy was having trouble even if the "Roaring Twenties" made it seem like everything was fine.

IMO the largest issue was that American farm sector was teetering on the edge because of the dramatic drop in crop prices. This deflation screwed over farmers who mechanized with lots of debt, which because of said deflation, became impossible to pay off.

The fed also implemented rate hikes to curb speculation right before 1929 which froze up credit contributing to deflation

The problem of the Great Depression was NOT the stock market crash, it arguably wasn't even the real start, just the most "spectacular" one. The problem was that with the entire economy deflating, it caused a massive downward spiral that the Fed did not really have the tools to fix, because of Gold Standard and lack of legal authorization.

This was why the Govt went to extreme lengths to try and figure out how to raise prices, which is why you get programs to pay farmers to NOT grow food, and mass killings of pigs and cows and other farm animals, even as the farmers who raised those lifestock went hungry.

So no, speculation was not the problem, it just sparked the key issue of the fact that the economy was deflation uncontrolled, but was just hidden.

Are you kidding me? Have you heard of a tiny event called the Great Depression?

The Japanese Lost Decade?

Greece Debt Crisis?

Since its a one party state, there is barely reason to bother to care about being actually effective.

The train to nowhere will always be a train to nowhere because every single second it continues to not run, billions of dollars are being spent on consultants, construction workers waiting around, armies of lawyers, NGOS who barely have any reason to be paid, etc.

They are curiously also fans of the politicians shoveling this money at them to not actually build the thing they are also being paid to build simultaneously

This is such a bad response. The space race was to get to the moon. There is a reason the USSR dropped any crewed lunar plans instantly when the USA landed (also they couldn't get the N1 to stop exploding) and went all in on satellites. They also kept the crewed tests secret because they knew they were behind the USA and was embarrassing.

Oh thank god. It hurt my soul watching the horror that is the new ST. Starfleet Academy was almost unspeakably terrible

I can play the piano, saxaphone, and guitar, and I've never considered being able to think about music to be actually hearing it.

Yes I've had auditorial hallucinations. It was clearly inside my head, I was not "hearing" it

It's not baffling because insurers are not dictating care. They only decide if they want to pay for it.

Doctors are free to give any care they want.
