Vasudus posted:She's saying it should. TBF, it's the first time I've heard it brought up, since most people are just talking about extending the current Medicare program to cover people under retirement age. Not that it's a bad idea, but it would completely throw any cost projections out the window.

UP THE BUM NO BABY posted:Washington also covers dental with it's Medicaid I'm not trying to be pedantic, but Medicare and Medicaid are separate things, the former being entirely federally run vs. the latter, which depends upon funding from the states themselves. The emerging Democratic healthcare plank is centered around the expansion of Medicare.

bird food bathtub posted:Anyone bitching about the cost of M4A can do two things. Eat the corn straight out of my rear end in a top hat, and explain why the amount we're paying for-profit industries for the travesty of a medical system we have now suddenly doesn't count when it comes to covering everyone. I'm not even sure the insurance industry would be that opposed to it, either, since removing the requirement that they cover high risk people would lower their overhead a ton and allow them to focus on selling supplemental insurance.

Godholio posted:Realized what, specifically? Because the shoulder thing, while creepy, seems like an odd reason to try and gently caress over a guy who has spent a while championing access to STEM for girls. Shoulder thing was creepy, but hardly rose to the level of "let's put this in the nation press." The rest of the stuff is dubious, which is probably why no major publication ran with it.

CRUSTY MINGE posted:Yeah. Develop a nice, heavy tolerance, and your body realizes that weed increases your heart rate, instead of your brain just shutting off the lights. The munchies die as your tolerance increases. As do the giggle fits and the desire listen to dave matthews band. I only smoke weed on occasion (once a month or so), but I've noticed that the stuff that comes in the vaporizers these days doesn't give me the munchies or get me turbo, fall-down high like the poo poo that I used to smoke in college. Edibles can gently caress right off, though. The weed brownies I used to eat in my early 20s were fine, but the poo poo these days you can buy from the store is waaaay too strong.

bird food bathtub posted:They made a new(ish) kind of can opener that doesn't go on the side and punch down through the top of the can but instead goes on the top and slices through the little tiny rim around the side. They are super cool. The lid acts as a lid even after you cut it open. It just slides right back on and seals up the can just fine for putting leftovers back in the fridge. It also does not leave sharp edges as it cuts through. If you're using a can opener on the regular I really recommend one. See, this is the kind for quality current event information that I come to this thread for. I just bought one on Amazon.

They're "Lotte Plaza Market" now, but until like last year they still were just Lotte Mart. H Mart is good too. They're sprinkled all over the MD/VA area. There's also this great Indian grocery store in Catonsville where you can get any obscure Indian spice you need.

AreWeDrunkYet posted:These plea deals have been underwhelming. Nothing for Flynn, two weeks for Papadopoulos for what's basically treason for the first two and a few years for a lifetime of crimes for Cohen. Yeah, cooperation is a factor and all but these people sold out the country and they're getting off lighter than if they were corner boys. Zero prison time for Flynn is master troll of Trump, because it negates the pardon, while still extracting maximum information.

e^: I think a lot of people are framing it relative to Trump, rather than objectively. Bush was an objectively terrible president, but relative to Trump. . .Woof Blitzer posted:Most encryption used today is not possible to break because of the math involved. So even if they pass a million pie in the sky laws it won’t make a difference. The law contains a provision that would give companies a loophole if the changes to the system weaken its performance, but it doesn't contain any definitions of what that actually means. So in theory, they could force them to replace the standard asymmetric encryption with something that has a backdoor. psydude fucked around with this message at 16:16 on Dec 7, 2018 |

Even nice flat fields are not flat and obstruction free and most places are not nice and flat. Yeah but he said "But since that'll all be farmed by 12 dudes and 500 robots in ten years, gently caress em." So yeah just like other parts of industrial automation, there will still be people involved, but it'll be like 3 automation engineers, some horticulturists, and a couple of mechanics.
