I won’t judge, because I don’t know their situation. I mean, maybe they’ve got my dog in the car with them. That dog has some serious farts.  ;-)

So about 40% of air inside a plane is recirculated through HEPA filters, and the other 60% is continually refreshed from outside. As a result of this is completely changed 30 to 60 times an hour (so every minute or 2.)  So you’re not continually breathing the same circulated air.

Do a solid for people instead of screwing them.

I had my K car (loved that thing!) stolen by some joy riding punks here in Austin 30 years ago. It had very little gas (fill up in morning) so they dumped it 5 blocks away. Instead of the cops calling me (they had my info) they towed it so I show up at the lot and was greeted with a $125 “fee.” I was pissed! The…

Sure, that works.  Just something other than hiring more tow trucks and finding more lots to stuff cars into.  That’s going to accomplish nothing.  

Seems like it would be cheaper to just waive the towing and storage fees for that matter. Publish a list of the cars and let people come and claim them. Do a solid for people instead of screwing them.

Orrrr... healthcare in America is sociopathic.

Seriously, TN politics sees this billing issue as a feature, not a bug. And while declining Part B carries risk, the cost of that risk sure does seem disproportional to the cost, and also wildly unpredictable and surprising. And maybe to this woman $175/month was real money. Of course most of us know the real answer…

I routinely charter Honda Jets and fly coast to coast for $50k.  This charge from the ambulatory company I would classify as predatory.  

Not even in the same ballpark!

I would agree IF the flight costs were reasonable. $81K for a 79 mile flight is not reasonable. Knowing “air ambulance bills were high” is not the same as getting a $81 K bill, especially when if she had been covered by Medicare the air ambulance company would only have been allowed to charge $10K. That is a $71K…

Can we also re-mention how stupid it is to call an EV a “Turbo” model?

It isn’t, it’s much harder to get rich here, but you have a lot lower chance of ending up living on the street. There is a real safety net. I know most Americans would call that socialism and part of it is, but it’s really more of a social contract, you pay X Euros and you get X services, and that’s the way they like…

Your information is outdated. I’ve looked into a couple of those countries and there are MANY hoops to jump through.

The average salary in France in 2022 was 2,340 Euros net per month

“Taxable Income” Taxation works different in France and also wages are considerably lower. On the other hand, medical care is free and good and costs of living, especially when it comes to housing is considerably less than the US.

Now if those companies would actually reinvest that cash into R&D instead of giving it to shareholders.

An Irish judge may be more likely to listen to logic than a US judge.  

My neighbour has a ‘22 Yukon Denali and a friend has a ‘21 Escalade. I’ve been riding in them since they were both purchased new. It’s astounding how fast they felt old and worn; and these are vehicles that are well-maintained and cared for. The Yukon has a rattle in the dash that nobody can find. The service guys at…

Hot. Garbage.
