A friend of mine with cancer just got a letter stating that his chemo medicine is no longer covered because it isn't considered essential treatment. (It's probably costing the insurance company too much money and they'd rather he dies than continue to cover it.)

Is insurance ceo security too good or something?

So then you get charged a fee for the replacement of course. And I already hear the "well so? Just make your free withdrawal and don't be a gently caress up" but guess what shitbirds sometimes humans err and it's whack that some companies are just waiting to turn the screws when you do.

If this shocks you, don't look up Shiro Ishii or Unit 731. Austria is currently ruled by a party established by a former minister in Adolf Hitler's government. There were tons of former nazis in West German intelligence. Only a tiny fraction of Einsatzgruppen members saw justice after the war despite being captured. Operation Gladio. "Never again." At least RAF got one of those motherfuckers. Then Horst Mahler became a nazi himself and went to prison again. lol

Since you already have fried chicken, barbecue (which is whole pig with vinegar-based sauce eastern NC style and anyone who tells you otherwise should be beheaded for not knowing poo poo about poo poo), biscuits, and proper cornbread should be next on the list. Sure you'll die earlier, but just think of the big greasy smile on your corpse.

Some new diamond advertising I saw on the back of a magazine at work:  I went to the website, they are trying super hard to find SOME reason to make young people care about diamonds at all, specifically that lab-grown gems are poo poo and your love isn't real if you even think of buying that trash.   I mean I know the diamond industry has always pushed real hard for people to buy their overpriced, earth-destroying, war-causing, child-killing product for no good reason, but since millennials are killing the diamond industry now they have to try even harder

DorkusMalorkus posted:Some new diamond advertising I saw on the back of a magazine at work: That's utter horseshit. Natural diamonds are by all metrics worse than the ones we can grow in a lab except for the profit margins of diamond companies, which, as noted, aren't exactly model corporate citizens. Lab grown diamonds can be literally 100% carbon, which is effectively impossible for natural diamonds to be. Lab grown can have perfect crystalline lattice, with zero translations, omissions or substitutions. You can get lab diamonds up to 4 carats commercially, and they're growing ones as big as 10 carats for industrial use. De Beers themselves have grown them to 25 carats in their research lab.

I should have taken your advice. quote:Although the Soviet authorities wished the prosecutions to take place, the United States objected after the reports of the investigating US microbiologists. Among these was Dr. Edwin Hill (Chief of Fort Detrick), whose report stated that the information was "absolutely invaluable", it "could never have been obtained in the United States because of scruples attached to experiments on humans", and "the information was obtained fairly cheaply". For those who don't want to look it up, Shiro Ishii makes Mengele look like Mr. Rogers.

I'm sorry, but the International Diamond Definition Certification Committee has defined those as "not diamonds" using completely fair and unbiased criteria and therefore they are not diamonds.

MRE cheese tortellini. When it eventually comes out, it's gonna destroy that portajohn. If you want quick results you have to shoot for a beef steak MRE. And there's been heater bombs with the tabasco sauce and heater pack provided and any old water bottle with a decent cap. MREs are surprisingly utilitarian.
