>It strikes me as weird to go from a long well worded post describing how different personal opinions legitimate, to seemingly dismissing someone for having an opinion.

I guess my writing style isn't conducive to conveying my meaning. I won't rehash what I said previously[0] about this, but I answered (without much detail as I couldn't answer their question reasonably as I just don't know).

Perhaps that's something I might think about.

I am a little taken aback with this, not because folks are downvoting me, but because the first assumption folks seem to be making is that I'm writing in bad faith.

Aren't we supposed to (I know I try -- not always successfully -- which doesn't reflect well on me when I don't) to read others' comments in the most charitable way/assume good faith?

I'm not really sure what seemed dismissive there, I certainly didn't intend it to be so. Thank you for taking the time to express this.

If I could impose upon you to clarify what, exactly, seemed dismissive, perhaps I could express myself without that impression in the future. Thanks!

As the spouse of a doctor, this made me giggle. If her practice had 90% margins, my life would be a lot different than it is. Her actual net margin, as in what she brings home after paying all the bills, is closer to 15%.
That's what annuities are designed to do.

In life insurance, you pay the company a small periodic payment in exchange for a large lump sum payment if you die while the coverage is in force. If you die after paying just one premium, you win! If you live so long that you paid more in premium than the lump sum, you lose!

With an annuity, you pay the company a large lump sum in exchange for a small periodic payment for the rest of your life. If you die after receiving just one payment, you lose! If you live so long that the company pays you more than your initial lump sum payment, you win!
They don't allow auto-blocking unknown numbers even.. which is why scammers like it, I think.

This is already understood, it's not like scientists aren't aware.

The simplified concept of humans being one organism will continue to be taught nonetheless, because it's extremely useful, and not even wrong in most contexts in which it's applied.

There's nothing special about this, you can say the same thing about any simple model in biology: that the brain is an organ inside the head is a simplification, any diagram of a homeostatic system or metabolic pathway that fits on a single page is a simplification, the "central dogma" of DNA -> RNA -> protein is a simplification...

All of these things are well-known. They continue to be used as models, because, well... they're useful models. And there's nothing wrong with that!
Nah. Outside of the vision cartel you can get replacement lenses for any pair of frames < $100, with all the various coatings and special shit for low hundreds. Likewise, using insurance to just replace the lenses, if a plan includes that, is often $50 or less. It's just shopping at the vision cartel without insurance = huge sticker price.
Or equivalently, state-run schooling successfully alienated you from these important values.

Running a business isn't easy. And the right decision last week can be the wrong one today. I gag when I hear about employees wanting to share in the ownership of a company that didn't structure itself that way, especially when they only want to share the gains, not the losses.

I've been in companies that did layoffs. I've expressed to colleagues that I'd rather take a pay cut and keep everyone onboard. Most companies are not democracies. Execs make the hard decisions. Some are jerks, most aren't. I used to be friends with someone who was HR director for a women's beauty products company. He showed up for a sporting activity telling us he'd shut down a line of products and laid off nearly a hundred people. And he got a $60k bonus. i asked him how he felt about the folks laid off. He said "nothing he could do, it was happening with or without him". He didn't like my comment about it'd be nice if he donated that bonus to be spread across those former employees. He bought a bigger boat. We... aren't friends anymore.
All indications are that while the game picks up threads from MI2 and starts at the end of MI2, the bulk of the game may happen after Curse and even Tales. Ron has said multiple times that "it's all canon" and about the only things that he's acknowledged are kind of ret-conned around are some things that occurred in Escape, which even Tales partly ignored.

We don't have much details yet on how exactly it fits into the canon as the game isn't out yet, but Ron has kept pointing out that Return isn't "MI3a" like he originally grumped an idea about, but a post-Tales Monkey Island game in just about all senses.

Given Murray's involvement in the trailers to date, I think comparing the art style to Curse is more accurate, personally, and I think there's a loving conversation there. I like what I've seen of the art style so far. (But also I like Double Fine's "house style" and this clearly has DNA ties to that, too.)
Technically, yes - "de minimis releases" are allowed because there's no practical way to avoid them. This is the small amount of refrigerant burped out to purge hoses, for instance.
RDBMS constraints are oversold usually. For instance it is usually the case that things like foreign-key constraints are avoided in production because they cause performance and maintenance nightmares.

Widely-used constraints like UNIQUE are production-quality in SQLite.
In the North American context, a "staffer" is a member of staff of an organization, especially of a newspaper. I think reporters are using staffer because that's what they call employees at their organizations, even though the organizations they talk about doesn't use that nomenclature.

How many times can you run that oven before you spent the energy required to produce the toaster oven? I'd bet it's in the thousands.
I’ve lived in the US for 14 years, and I’m all too familiar with the problems we have in this country. I also spent three years in Hong Kong (my mother is from there, and I speak Cantonese), living through the transition period that the new security law brought on. I moved back to the US last year. In the context of liberty and freedom of expression, the situation in the US is simply not comparable to the one in Hong Kong. Despite all its issues, I would pick the US as my home any day of the week.

I have friends in Hong Kong who fear what they post on social media will land them in jail. That was not the case pre-2020.

Can you find many individual instances of injustice in any given democracy? Sure. But you don’t seem to grasp the difference in severity and scale. There were over 10000 protestors arrested in Hong Kong in 2020 alone, out of a population of 7.5 million. None of the examples you picked are analogous to entire newspapers getting shut down and politicians getting sentenced to jail en masse.
That's a meaningless cap because you can decrease profits at will by increasing inefficiency and unnecessary costs inside the company.

Yes, many common types of beans are toxic. But, as you note, the thread is dealt with via boiling. We are typically so habitual in boiling (and often pre-soaking larger) beans that their toxicity - some of them rather spectacularly so - that most people are entirely aware of the fact.
I've lost count of all the problems I've had with medical billing. I can't understand an argument against public pricing because it seems like a clear win if you believe in free market dynamics or progressive reformation of the health care system. But it seems to me the system is just rotten to the core anyway. It makes even my Libertarian self want single-payer healthcare, but I have no expectation the set of people currently working in the system would do anything but keep it rotten.

In the most recent case I tried to get a written quote for procedures because of past problems. I was given the run-around until all I could get was a verbal quote over the phone. But if that wasn't good enough, my only recourse was to delay getting a suspicious lump examined. I was then charged more than I was quoted, and I was even billed for procedures they didn't do. I actually heard one of the employees say "I added that because I thought he was using insurance". Still - hours of phone calls over several weeks before they would even bill me correctly without adding tests that they had no results from. And even then - more expensive than they told me because the person I was transferred to over the phone was in a different state than the clinic I called in the first place.

Absolutely rotten.
saying stop using phone numbers and then going directly into

"hey, use this one proprietary vendor's closed source walled garden messaging app"

is NOT a solution.

people should be looking at things like Signal or custom implementations of Matrix/Element/Synapse or similar if they want real control of their two way chat communications.
It does if it results in them being able to sell policies at lower premiums than their competitors and hence earn more customers.

> Will my workplace ever switch their insurer provider of choice? Almost certainly 'no'.

Why not? I am an employer and we evaluate the cost of health insurance every year. It is a huge expense, so why would we not shop around?
I wasnt thinking about the water supply, the dangers there makes sense. The fertilizer issue seems tangential. We can ban / limit the sue of fertilizer without telling people they cant have lawns.

What's the alternative? without a lawn people will likely opt to concrete their property - which I guess would be better for water but kind of depressing
My prediction is that the changes to come will make both of those look almost surface-level in comparison. We’ll see though.
Where do state-schooled kids get their socialization? They are corralled into tightly age-bound groups, rarely befriending kids much older or younger than them. That's a very artificial and unnatural environment.
Now tell me about the relationship between health insurers and hospitals, and how they engage in pricing.
> assassination of Putin right now would unite the Russian public in its hatred for the US, not fragment it

Public opinion is irrelevant when considering decapitations. In Russia or anywhere else. The generals and intelligence agencies are the beginning and end of power in Moscow.

Putin is, as a dictator, personally the institution of power. That contrasts blindingly with America’s institution-oriented system. Taking out Putin is roughly similar to taking out the President and his Cabinet and the leaders of Congress. This is the dilemma of dictatorships. It’s weak in a way monarchies weren’t. (It is a weakness the Soviet Union and China (until Xi) didn’t suffer.)
The author's main problem is her sensitivity, not a culture of "ableist" cooks. Nobody should be this concerned with how random internet users care about their method of preparing garlic. And of course YouTube cooks promote the "best" method even when it might be unnecessarily time consuming - because they are cooking to make a nice video, not a time efficient meal.

The part about her causing herself pain by mincing garlic shows well how she is too worried about other people's opinions (who aren't even present when she does it) over factors that influence her health.
It's because information asymmetry allows for maximum profits.

All the special editions weren't even updated for Windows 11 WDDM 3.0, one nvidia driver update broke them even on windows. Not sure if they even run nowadays on latest windows versions. They also removed the ios/android versions from the app stores before the special edition releases. Your only option is ScummVM and that doesn't support the special editions. All of them are rated as broken on wine appdb. I would not expect this to get Linux support, its Disney and its obvious by now that Ron doesn't care about his fans so there is that.
This is what we call life insurance in France. It's quite common.

An insurance that pays your loved ones if you die is called a "death insurance".

An insurance that pays you if you live past a certain age is called "life insurance". It's basically a pension fund (except that your loved ones do not get any money you set aside if you die - so usually people take both life and death insurance)
>She says she sautéed the lentils until they started to crisp and even blacken a bit because she knows they need to be cooked thoroughly.

Is an interesting way to describe cooking lentils, too. I can imagine sautéing ones that are already cooked. Or you can put them in a pan with water for awhile, but that's gonna be 20-40 minutes, is pan-boiling a term? Not really sautéing.
"Not dogs" is an actual product from 1982.
It cracks me up how defensive people get about what tools you use, meanwhile I'm just gonna keep building things because your audience doesn't give a crap what tools were used to make the actual end product.
Yeah, I wasn't trying to make a statement on whether that claim is true or not. If you're asking, I think it's true but only to a small degree and only with certain cohorts (those likely to be emotionally inflamed or attached to the Russia issue). This website has seen lots of Google privacy articles pushed to the front page and No. 1 for a long time now, so it seems suspect this phenomenon is that common here. I have no idea how true that is outside of this self-selected group. It's possible it's true to a much larger degree in the general public, who are either unaware or don't care about the other privacy issues Google is (becoming?) famous for.
That's a rather small total compensation for someone who has the ability to lose this much money...

The regulations are finally starting to acknowledge that. You're allowed to vent propane, CO2, and a few other refrigerants now.
Premiums are not the only source of revenue insurers have.
At the time didn't he feel insulted by being linked to Blair's Labour?
Yes, I recognize this view (that corporate policy should be organized for maximum benefit to the corporation, and the actual workers be damned); however, I reject it entirely, because it's inhumane and is part of what is destroying our society.

We need to get past this childish "maximum profit and cut everything else" philosophy and start acting like responsible adults in a society.
You're overcomplicating your analysis. The purpose of ads is to generate attention. The message is effective for Americans for the same way that it is effective for you. It leaves the reader with multiple questions, which is more effective than an alternative phrasing which may leave someone with one or zero questions. Those ads are not posted by medical professionals, they're posted by scam operations.

Healthcare in the US uses specialized labor just like any other developed nation. US doctors are not concerned with financial operations, they're focused on clinical duties. For any typical hospital, the people who do anything with finance or billing are not even in the same building as doctors.
Sprint’s network has been officially retired
Then the competition who does not do that crap would offer lower premiums and steal business. Just like any other business that wasted money cannot compete with a business that does not waste money.
Reminds me of the Frys.com saga:

R600a has been specifically designed to have a low global warming potential. Unfortunately this is not true for most refrigerants used today, most of them have global warming potentials in the thousands. R600a is still flammable so it should be replaced by a trained technician.
29 published Life Cycle Analysis papers from different authors in different reputable journals in different countries all got confused about this, then the meta review that talks in detail about the different assumptions they all made also missed this?

That seems unlikely.

I've never even seen this specific meta review before, I just knew that's what they all said and grabbed the first link I found to a recent one. Feel free to check others, they will all broadly agree because this is fairly boring stuff.
