then fill out claim forms, separate ones for each provider (if you end up in a hospital you will be billed separately for the hospital bed, for the anesthesiologist, for the laboratory work, etc.),
Wherever did you live in the US where you had to fill out claim forms for your health insurance??
Hospital does the paperwork for all my insurance claims against the hospital, my Doctor takes care of it for my visits with him, when I go to get labwork done of any kind, the lab takes care of the paperwork.
Only place I can even think MIGHT make me do insurance paperwork is a Doc-in-a-Box....
Bad argument. Noone, except perhaps you, is suggesting that it's even possible to drink enough of that tritium to be lethal - it's being diulted in an OCEAN.
This is going to add about 0.01% to the world's tritium supply. Which tritium supply represents a very small fraction of the radioactivity we are exposed to daily.
99.9% of which addition will decay away to nothing within the century.
Do you really think the Brits would have 6 people watching him 24/7 for over a year because of some odd misdemeanor rape charges for a broken condom that don't exist in any other country?
No, they have six people watching him 24/7 for "jumping bail". Which is a crime, in case you hadn't heard.
And who cares about some foreign companies thinking the US is too expensive to operate in. The sooner they leave the sooner the jobs farmed out come back to the US.
Senator Smoot? Representative Hawley? Is that you?
Note that the last time we tried this particular technique to bring jobs back to the US, we got what is colloquially known as the "Great Depression".
Again, not saying that's what you've done here, but your post gave me the opportunity to bitch.
By all means, bitch!
As to specifics, 40 was late last century for me, and the real secret to paying my house off so early was that I didn't buy the most expensive house I could afford, I bought the house I needed for my family. Which meant I could make a decent down payment upfront, finance it over 15 years (instead of the usual 30), and double up on payments regularly.
Yeah, I had less to spend every month than some people did while I was paying off the house. On the other hand, when the company I worked for at the time went belly-up, I didn't have to worry about house-payments anymore, so the period of unemployment didn't terribly bother me either.
Assuming we're talking elementary/high schools, then we picked the place for access to a good elementary school specifically, and secondarily for a good high school.
If, on the other hand, you're talking University, then nope, didn't even consider the issue.
Wouldn't the megablizzard fall into Climate Change
No, it would fall under "weather".
Now, the weather we have may be a result of climate change (or not), but no single weather event is "proof positive of climate change!!!", no matter how many times people say it....
Deciding between Iceland, Finland, and New Zealand.
If you pick NZ, make sure you don't weigh too much. I read recently where they're expelling someone who's lived there for six or so years because he's overweight (though, oddly, LESS overweight than when they allowed him into the country and renewed his visa the last two times).
You need to read the Commerce Clause and supporting case law,
Just remember, abuse of the Commerce Clause really got going when FDR found that his New Deal was mostly unconstitutional, and he had to find some new way to justify it.
Which "new way" involved threatening to pack the Supreme Court till they gave in and let him do what he wanted, then using the Commerce Clause to justify...anything.
In fact, I'd say it's fiscally irresponsible of cities not to use ROI to prioritize infrastructure projects.
So, you're in favour of cities favouring wealthy neighborhoods over poorer neighborhoods, since they'll get more tax revenues from the millionaires paying taxes than the poor receiving welfare?
The IMEI cannot be changed since it is normally written in write-once memory, and it may even be illegal to change.
Won't argue how easy/hard it might be to change the IMEI, but do you REALLY think a thief is going to be deterred from changing it because it's illegal????
Hint: stealing it in the first place was illegal too.
Hard to say what, if any, impact this could possibly have on any charges that might be filed involving Assange.
This is irrelevant to Assange. Assange RECEIVED secret/TS documents, which is, in and of itself, perfectly legal (no, YOU can't go to jail because your girlfriend/brother/whatever tells you something classified).
Publishing what he got is also legal (see Watergate for reference).
Alas, Mr. Assange didn't really do anything wrong under US law, and isn't being pursued by US LEOs, much as he'd like to believe so.
Oh, and pay no attention to what the assorted Congresscritters say about Assange/Wikileaks - it's just political posturing, and utterly irrelevant to a Judge.

I am singularly unimpressed by the panic.

relativistic effects of Mars' orbital speed on time passage there : 0.9999999965976668868826947934
relativistic effects of Earth's orbital speed on time passage here : 0.99999999506624037797369889211
Difference between the two : 1.531426508853249e-9
So, a bit less than one second difference every twenty years.
So yep...
Two things:
1) it was only about a foot deep.
2) it's already gone away.
Nah, you can say whatever you want.
Of course, the Feds will be listening....

And even if most/all of what you have to hide is illegal, GET A WARRANT!
No, the study was about how if you change the fundamental assumptions of the Prisoners' Dilemma, you get different results.... ]
By all means, bitch!

If, on the other hand, you're talking University, then nope, didn't even consider the issue.
So, essentially, they changed the rules for the Prisoner's Dilemma, and the results turned out differently.
And then they use this to draw broad conclusions about society?
Color me speechless...
Hmm, seems to me I paid my house off when I was about 40. May have been a few years later - 40 was a long time ago for me....

We're talking west coast of Florida here - the place least likely to be hit by a hurricane on the Gulf Coast.
Note also that Katrina hit a nuclear plant. No problems....

So, you always check prices, and then buy the highest price item when you're shopping?
I assume you actively avoid Sales, too? Wouldn't want to pay less for something and stretch your paycheck a bit, eh?
Your theory of the way things should work is that everyone should actively seek to lower their own standard of living to the greatest extent possible.
Which makes you an idiot....
Pretty much....

Some States, perhaps. Louisiana, not so much. Ditto Florida.
Note that you can buy farm-raised gator meat in Florida, if the idea of wild-gator meat bothers you.

Or witnessed the screaming invective thrown at both Bush and Obama.
No, in the USA you don't get in trouble for insulting a government official - shooting him might get you jail time, insulting him...nah.
