and that is going away. My utility no longer does net metering. They pay me about 10c/kwh generated and in summer I pay them about 15c/kwh for every kwh I consume. Yeah, you guessed it, I pay a nickel per kwh my panels produce and I consume. Winter I am in a lower price tier so my consumption price drops to about 10c/kwh so it is basically net metering. But they keep dropping the price they pay me per kwh and raising the price I pay them.
Only if it is in network for a PPO or in my case with my crapsurance, only my primary care physician unless I get a referral. And I'm paying 8 grand a year with a 6500 deductible, so even with my PCP doing the work, I am STILL paying out of pocket.
Except you are just plain wrong. I just saw a story that said 5 high power law firms declined to represent Trump as prez. Why, because he can't keep his big fat mouth shut. Lawyers don't like it when they say STFU and you ignore their advice. So what he ended up with was his divorce lawyer. Wonder how well a divorce lawyer is going to navigate impeachment proceedings? I mean how much different could it be?
I read literally hundreds of them in my 20's. They made me realize the problems, thoughts, corssroads in my life had happened to others and worse. I wish I had started in college, but then time was too precious then. Books can be some of the most intimate glimpses into another mind.
Except if you look at recent breakthru's they are not in pharma but in the public area. The latest antibiotic breakthru was by scripps howard, a non-profit. Why, because there is no money in antibiotics. You know the class of drugs without which, we could be back in the 1800's with regard to surgery.
Single payer would be cheaper. Private insurance runs around a 20% admin overhead. Even if you do not believe the 1.5% admin rate quoted for medicare, I am pretty confident it is much less than private. And if single payer could get rid of the 7 figure hospital exec's which are not part of the insurance overhead, even better. So we would get rid of 2 non-participatory costs (insurance execs and hospital admins) who contribute zero to keeping people alive.
You could make a box to record the OTA newsast and watch when she wants. Sports if locally broadcast, same deal. Heck I think many local news stations now have streaming from their site of the latest stories.
hospitals could allocate the pharmacy grade stuff for the open heart and use the industrial/food graded stuff for things like the bandage itching. Have the patient sign off on it. And as an incentive, charge the patient the buck it costs for the food grade product if they are willing to use it instead of the 100 they'd charge for the pharma grade.But oh, common sense, not in medicine. This is why an aspirin costs 10 bucks a pill at a hospital.
Friend just bought a volt. If you can charge at work the volt will have enough range for one way electric, and if you get caught out of juice, it switches to gas. His only complaint with the volt so far are the skinny low rolling resistance tires don't have as much grip as he would like.
Don't blame the cashier for that, blame the upper store management. Think wells fargo and what happened with the fake accounts so the peons could keep their job. If you were a cashier, and the boss told it has been commanded, you shall push store credit cards or you shall be fired, would you push or be fired? The big stores have demanded this kind of behavior.
They have a negative profit margin not because they pay their drivers more (in the US), but because they sink a boatload of cash into buying hookers, booze, and drugs for politicians. They sunk 10 mil on trying to get austin to overturn their background check in a referendum and failed, so they went up the chain and spent an unknown amount on the texas legislature for a statewide law that trumps the local ordinance. Clever they are. The current rate structure is just the beginning. Once they have driven everyone else out of biz, they will seriously raise rates. So my advice is travel with anyone but these scum and to use more than one service to prevent a monopoly.
Exactly. I've owned 2 beagles. They are nothing short of amazing. One liked french fries in his later years. On walks he would pull me up to a block away if he smelled fries someone had tossed into the road. My 2nd was more of a hunter. At night he would bay at the tree and I'm thinking what? After awhile I got it. There was a field rat in the tree. I'd get a flashlight and see beady eyes staring back at me 10-15 feet in the air. He was right every single time. On walks, he'd scent a rat hole in tree roots and start digging. He'd smell squirrels on the roof. On and on. Neither were very bright, but both were driven by scent. They live in a world colored by scent.
Here is the thing, if uber has source code taken from google/waymo, do you really think it is ok to post the two files (exhibit A waymo file, exhibit B google) to the public and thereby disclose to everyone the source code when was stolen? I've been involved in exactly this type of litigation and the court uses extremely careful handling of the property.
They are DINO's. In the end, they could give a crap about the little people. They speak the platitudes and that is it. They both are in it for the money. She IS the money changer at the white house. She has an office there to run her biz out of. D's need to figure out how to stop this soon. We are on the way to a train wreck just like Turkey did with erdogan. And in Turkey's case it was also right at the 50% approval magic number.
Exactly this. In austin the DA was caught driving drunk and made a total fool of herself on dashcam video and video in the jail. She should have resigned. She did not unfortunately. But then Rick Perry tried to fire her when he did not have the authority, which was also wrong.
I would not put Kushner in too good of a light. I'd rate him right up there with the Jewish money changers christ threw out of the temple. Except there was no one to throw him out of the white house when they were selling EB-5's in china for the family biz. At first I thought he was only complicit. Now I think he is all in.
While I see many advantages with beat cops, the roving cop also has one big one. A beat cop can more easily be put on the take, and ignore or even help the local gang in its exploits. The roving cop will not be there tomorrow so paying him off just means the guy tomorrow may not be corruptible so you may get caught. I'd expect a mixture to be optimal, but that would cost more.
He really would like to be a dictator I think. He admires Putin, embraced China, embraced Turkey's update to a dictatorship, just invited the guy from the philipines, just complained that those archaic rules in the senate(those rules that let opposing voices stop a dictator) were stopping progress, hates the press for their constantly going off topic... The guy is used to running a corp with one shareholder, he ran a small dictatorship, found it efficient (and dictatorships are efficient) and would like to bring it to government. I don't even think he realizes how a democracy is supposed to work. They are not efficient. I do worry that we could like Turkey fall into the trap. Never say never. Turkey was a democracy for around 100 years.
Another plus of T-Mo is they just added optional spam filtering on calls. I imagine all carriers will or already have done it. I've not gotten a single "student loan", "CC Offer",... call since I enabled it and I used to get at least 2/day. Thank you T-Mo.
The rich are already taking helicopters, energy cost is not the problem. If someone comes up with a way to do it so they don't have to "park" on those limited rooftops, the rich will buy it. Do you really not see Musk, Ellison, Trump, Bezos, Gates, Ma, or any other name on the Forbes 500 not buying one of these? Pocket change and as the one Homer Simpson episode with Gates implied, we ANTS will just watch.
This is what should have happened when cook met with him. Cook should have said, you broke the rules, the app is no longer on iphone. The problem with the uber guy is his go to method is break the law. Be it taxi regs, IRS regs... Lately he has enhanced his methods to actively avoid detection. In apple's case, he used geofencing so apple corp did not see the code, which sounds a little like the VW thing on emissions testing. Uber also was detecting when law enforcement was requesting rides, don't remember why. It makes one wonder, what other laws is uber successfully evading?

No it is more like a swapable battery without having to swap the container.

Umm, you do realize almost all life on earth is carbon based, including humans.

If/when wwIII comes along, you might be very grateful that the US still has farms and has not turned them all into subdivisions and water parks.
Another plus of T-Mo is they just added optional spam filtering on calls. I imagine all carriers will or already have done it. I've not gotten a single "student loan", "CC Offer", ... call since I enabled it and I used to get at least 2/day. Thank you T-Mo.
