Doctors are less than 10% of the cost of medicine. You are paying for the building, the equipment, the medications, the support staff, frequent lab draws, Nursing staff, Respiratory technicians, all of the PPE has a significant cost. It costs money to sterilize the room once you leave. Radiology costs because of…

I thought it was a Lancia Scorpion or Beta there for a moment. That “I know what that is, I just can’t place it!” feeling. 

I’ve done both and I’ll take NY over Houston. Atlanta, GA is surprisingly bad as well. 

I used to pull out of my subdivision for my 10 mile commute and wait for three cycles at each light to reach the loop, drive to the Astrodome and park (because otherwise its like $400 bucks a month for parking) and catch a bus into the medical center (which is also huge; there are about 100 hospitals in a 1 square…

They did this of their own accord, without someone forcing them to do so?

Nice price. Even beaters go for somewhere in this range. It seems to be relatively good condition. This is exactly the kind of first car I’d get for my soon-to-be driving daughter who’s only going to be running to the HS and back and around town. She can then get something safer and more recent for college in a couple…

I have an RTX 2070 and it ran beautifully at 1440p with all the ray-tracing features on. So I think something like a 2060 or 2060 super should be able to handle it just fine at 1080p. 

It doesn’t get much more reliable than a toyota V6 powerplant. I know the steering rack can be prone to wear on several models, and leather dashboards are always a bad idea, but overall a modern Lotus is pretty solid. 

My BMW 330Ci had that same low-level led but it was mounted to the bottom of the rear-view mirror, iirc. It cast a faint barely-visible yellow aura on the gearshifter at night. Barely noticible. 

Oh man, what a monitor. That looks incredible. 

Oooooh. Prettyyyyy. Are you cropping those screengrabs to get the 21:9 ratio or are those just from some monitor other than yours? I’m aspiring to 1440p widescreen at some point. 

And completely ignoring the Thomas Jefferson-ness of it all? That’s...wow. I lack the words. 

I remember coming home from the theater as a teen, absolutely giddy, trying to describe how amazing this movie was to my mother, who was like “So, you liked the dinosaur movie, huh?” I couldn’t put into words how the tech in this movie changed everything.

I deal with this on a regular basis. While you mention ideals, I’d like to introduce you to the real world. I’ll give one example: A husband and wife both with severe dementia who lived long-term in an RV park along with a bunch of other seniors. They were competent in their daily activities of living via a sort of…

I’m eagerly awaiting for your solution to the above conundrum.

It’s not gaslighting, it’s redirecting. Whaddya wanna do, give him the real keys?

Yo dawg, I heard you like Vulvas.

One of the best deals out there is to buy the wheels and tires AEV strips off all those rubicons to make their $60K+ macho machines.
