Glad you're safe. Hope everyone else is.

Now, there's a boat ship that most of us are on.

This is what I'm saying... the US does not have a better health care system than Canada, they just have a more expensive one. Outcomes are just about on par, depending on the skills of the hospital staff and doctors involved, which are generally great in both countries. So why the price...

I think the looting and pillaging was an inbred thing, I mean you find people without good navy's and lots of gold, folks to become slaves and stuff ... why not? but the exploration... you might be right there. Except in Canada, they landed on Newfoundland and guess what fish was so plentiful...

You've been sold a big lie then. Don't worry, I was too before - for a long time. There are hospitals in the US that cater to people who are paying cash price for health care. These people can jump the line and not wait for their turn. My mother in law used to work for one if these hospitals...

Every time I think of Norway and Sweeden, I think of the best herring I ever tasted, and the worst cod... Fuck lutefisk. I always figured some Viking was cleaning some cod one day, while his wife was doing the laundry. Then he lost one of his cod. For 6 weeks or whatever the frequency of...

Welcome to TEST! Some of is appreciate a bump in the average age. Some of the others still haven't figured out they're not wearing superman suits. Whole range here.

Oh-oh... that's what that squishy stuff was that I tried to mine close to MIC-L1 the other day . Then my mining laser up and quit, saying I didn't pay enough. It cost me 108,000 aUEC, the price of 3 mining attachments, and an extra coffee break to get the dam thing working again.

Most of the difference isn't going to hospitals, or doctors practices. It's going to for profit insurance. Also the price of medication in the US is virtually astronomic compared with say, Canada. For example I used to pay $17 (CAD) for albuterol inhalers for asthma. In the US, the co-pay...

... Great. Now I'm hungry. Yes, it does... and I am now fuggin hungry. I did find that we have stuffed peppers in the fridge... :D

It would be interesting. Right now, smoking carries an insurance penalty here. You pay more. Quit smoking and your premiums start to drop. That is actually the more likely outcome of this... that insurance rates will go up for unvaccinated people. FYI In most of the rest of the G20...

Not so much now, but this is cultural I think, and is common in many older Slavic people. It's related to carryover from medieval medical practice, followed by communism. A lot of shit was forced down their throats that they didn't understand, and that wasn't necessarily healthy. Consequently...

I can tell you what's happening in Texas. There are some hard core antivaxxers, but I've started seeing it for something different. So far, all of the antivaxxers in my neighbors, friends and family that I know of are also afraid of needles. That includes two of my son in law's and one...

It's a Ford F150. Because Texas. And it has a blinker but it doesn't get used... also because Texas.

Yeah, BMW drivers are always tailgating here too.

He didn't quite follow instructions though. He spelled his own RSI handle wrong. I mean how drunk do you have to be to spell your own name wrong?

Good luck!!!! To you and everyone in it's path.

Hey I just realized I own an SRV. I guess that makes me a longshoreman... no wait, this is spaceships... longspacestationguy?

Adult with a job... so you can afford beer... Good to know. Ahem. I'm also central time, just south of most of it. You should hop on our discord some evening and say Hi to the folks in there. Sometimes there's a lot. Welcome to TEST!

I had day surgery that I had to be put under for, my wife drove me home. I don't remember a thing, except on the drive home I was talking about a cop we saw, for like 5 minutes. Also I wanted to go to a truck/restaurant that has boiled lobster.... It's hard to get good lobster in the Gulf...
