Waiting for someone to say something about performance art with this.

Just another weekly reminder that I need to get a dashcam installed and set up for insurance against loonies like this. Pathetic.

It fits with your root vegetables but I love adding parsnips to our oxtail when we make it. I’ve actually found that using beef ribs gets me more meat, great flavor, and less cost than oxtail as it is usually almost $2/lb cheaper for the ribs than oxtail. Actually, parsnips and a bunch of bay leaves, thyme, and…

Here’s the thing, though, with a High Deductible plan (at least the ones I have had), more was covered by insurance than if I had normal co-insurance coverage. Normal coverage is 75% of expenses for regular insurance, with High Deductible it covers 100% once I hit my deductible. That means I just have to save up…

I’d love to see Dal come in. Here are some very interesting regional recipes:

*Breathes Heavily* *mainly because he just walked up a half flight of stairs, but you get the idea - the man’s sporting some for a chicken to fry up*

As far as easy cooking at home goes, I cannot recommend the America’s Test Kitchen Slow Cooker vol 2 Cookbook enough. Very tasty recipes of all sorts, many with very similar ingredients in many of them (lots of the chicken recipes use B/S thighs so you can buy a great big bag of IQF thighs for your freezer and pull…

“Think I’ll go for a walk.”

Two different industries, one for profit (petrochem), one not for profit (healthcare) but both in Kansas. Interestingly, the not for profit plan is better than the profit-based company plan as the company helps kick in funds to your HSA if you pick the HDHP.

How does single payer NOT bone everyone? I very much think that HDHP’s with HSA’s if started when most of us are young and healthy are the best option. It’s been the best for me and my family through the birth of two sons (both Cesarian and, therefore, expensive if using even traditional insurance).

For the birth of both of my sons, it was cheaper to have a high deductible plan (HDP) instead of the traditional insurance because of how much was covered by the insurance once the deductible was met. For reference, each son was born while working for a different employer with HDP’s from different providers. In each…

Yes - was it the Merc or BMW that had biodegradable wiring harnesses?

Do you mean to say Constitution instead of Declaration of Independence? Just want to make sure. Also, there is only one copy of the Constitution that was ratified and the language on it is much less precisely repeated that the DofI.

I can say, living in Kansas, that there are places in the world where a decline is damn hard to find.

I hand cranked a McCormick International WD6 tractor once. You have to do it just right or it’ll break your damn arm.

You, sir, are a true veteran of the un-ending conflict that is keeping a malaise-era vehicle on the road.

I just don’t know if he’d be able to find a starter in reasonable condition or reasonable time. Your conversion idea is worth pursuing in full, however.

They should certainly be renamed, in my opinion. I’d like to treat it the way the East Germans did after the wall fell and give those places the opportunity to rename themselves away from an avowed racist and Sangerist. As an example, there is a high school in Berlin named after John Lennon.

You make a good point. I am not familiar enough with the program itself but I usually have knee-jerk reactions to that name. I don’t really think that program has much value on it’s surface (never had much regard for those social sciences past grammar school) but I’m open to the possibility that I’m wrong.

Exactly, or the plastic chain guides that can get lunched.
