It should be noted that the reason that insurance companies must cover USPSTF A or B recommendations is solely because of the Affordable Care Act (i.e. Obamacare). It is not at all certain that this requirement will continue if the absurd lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the ACA is upheld by the SCOTUS

agree 100%. I used to by All-clad non-sticks for big bucks. While I would argue they are better out of the box, within a few months they are going to inevitably have some scratches and the non-stick will wear off. Get a good cheap non-stick, and then replace it once a year. A new cheap non-stick is definitely better…

despite the fact they were on the same show, I don’t believe Amy Adams, Amy Ryan, and Jenna Fischer are different people. I think they are the same person with adjustments in hair color. On the office they used special effects and mirrors so “they” could appear in the same scene. Don’t both with any puny “facts” or…

There are certainly elements of comedy, and occasional parody. But in my opinion, the overall concepts of superheroes/superpowers are played pretty straight. I mean the comic books themselves (Marvel more so) always had a lot of comedy. But, just IMO, there is a substantial tonal difference between the modern…

I meant Dark Knight series-so was meaning Batman Begins. Yes, that’s when the deluge began

was just going to post the exact statement. One of my top 50 movies or so of all time. Probably the best western of the past 20-30 years. Love that movie

you have it reversed. The movie was after the TV show had its success, not before

Not sure of your age. I was 13 when it came out. I was a big superhero geek, and had some of those same thoughts then. On the pros side, it was the first big budget comic book movie, and that was fantastic. on the con side, it insisted on the jokey, not taking things serious approach. Nothing grates comic book geeks…

Ironic point-we are hearing some pregnant women left NYC due to this. Now because of the 14 day quarantine of NY residents, if the pregnant woman shows up at a hospital in labor, they won’t be allowed to bring in their NY support person. They would be allowed to bring someone else, but if they and their partner fled…

not even minor sympathy, none. I was just speaking to the hypothetical that he didn’t know. The article says you should know, and my point is that ain’t necessarily true. If he knew, different story.

Stock is the ultimate reason for a pressure cooker (and yes, I just have a non-powered pressure cooker-much better searing on my gas stove).

Far be it from me to defend R. Kelley. He totally needs to have the book thrown at him. On this one though, maybe. 60% of adults over 40 in US have Herpes 1, and about a 1/4 have 2. Many have either had a minor case or no case at all. As a doc, it’s a very open question as to whether to test for herpes when doing…

I don’t think a big mystery for him. I’m sure it will be multiple decades. What I have no idea on is what Mack’s sentence will be. I think that’s a much bigger wildcard.

Been a paying member of the cooks’s family of websites for years. Since I discovered Serious Eats, it’s no longer the source of 85%+ of my meals, but still use it quite often. As you kind of note, good safe source of recipes that will always deliver at least a decent product and often much better than that. However,…

I assume the quote from the agent was that this was called an “acute ON chronic injury.” (not OR). That phraseology is used commonly in medicine.

“You play a game, and FUCK, that hurts, so you eat the pills.”Pro tip, in my experience as a family doc, there’s close to a 100% correlation between using the verb “eat” in relation to pain pills and abuse/misuse of the prescriptions. Not sure if addicts realize this, but when I hear that term, I’m immediately…

Just was posting this. It often seems like front desk will go out of its way NOT to help with problems with 3rd party sites. And no chance for upgrades. unless you are saving a huge amount of money (which is never the case), always book with hotel

this same message x 10 for hotels. When you book through 3rd party in my experience no chance for upgrades. As well, if you have an issue, they can’t (or won’t) help you at all. Do your search on expedia, then book directly. Price is always the same. I’ve seen some pretty active disdain from front desk when they see…
