Octopus obviously!!

Catastrophic policies pay 100% over a certain dollar amount. That’s why they’re called catastrophic policies. Most people don’t experience crippling health care costs every year.

Free? Hardly free. My premiums for a family of three is over $10k a year, my co-pays are $65, and my deductibles are over $6k a family member with a $15k cap out-of-pocket. This does not include eye care or dental. Free? Hardly. I’m handing over well over $10K a year for what? The three times a year my family goes to…

Some of my favorite pictures are the ones my grandparents took of themselves in their younger years when they traveled the United States (and later various countries in the world).

My father’s family were/are Mennonites, as pacifists they sat out every war or served as medics until... 9/11. Turned them into anti-Muslim, pro-war lunatics.

I live in North Carolina. My extended family is pro-Confederate flag and defend their “heritage” while ignoring their history. Then there’s the local restaurant…

Maybe I’m missing something, but there is one. I’m looking at it on my Galaxy tablet right now, and I have it on my Nexus 6. You might have to download it from the Amazon App store, but it definitely exists.

Well would you look at that...

It is still not clear to the family how Malachi got his hands on the dangerous weapon. Stephens said that he got the gun from a friend who got it from someone else. Investigators are looking into finding out who originally had the gun and passed it to the friend, the news station notes.

It’s interesting that yellow seems to be getting such a following nowadays - they’ve been used for decades by target shooters precisely because they increase contrast, although they’re far more common for indoor ranges than outdoor.

One question that I have that I have never heard answered is “If abortion makes up only three percent of the services you offer, and the president has said that he would not defund you if you just don’t offer abortions, why not just stop performing abortions so that you can continue to receive funding and help out…

“Women’s Health,” except for women who don’t have a voice, that is, the little girls who are killed and mutilated (and sold for parts) before they ever have opportunity to learn to speak. What beautiful voices snuffed out for “some” women’s “health”. Also, if I ever become helpless like a baby please do not kill me.…

When there are hundreds of more healthcare centers all across the nation which offer prenatal care, baby immunizations, general and primary care, as well as specialized care including mental health, addiction recovery, and HIV/AIDs, all for very low costs or no cost and which also accept insurances you can find on…

adds a comforting hassle

I would be curious to see statistics on the effectiveness of pat-downs/full-body scanners compared to the pre-9/11 metal detectors.

When he was 16 or so he pissed me off for some reason (don’t remember why, it’s been years), so I caught a bunch of spiders and hid them in his weed stash. He’s terrified of spiders, and the stash was out in the shed, so I had plausible deniability.

I’m still mourning for Google Reader. After trying Feedly, The Old Reader, and Inoreader, I’m currently settled on Inoreader as it allows the most number of feeds (hopefully I don’t get jinxed like my previous experience with The Old Reader) not to mention the Android app is quite neat.

I have zero need for this thing and 100% desire for it at the same time...

I was taught the hot water trick as a small child. It’s not only safe, it’s safe enough to be routinely taught to small children. :)
