Pretty cool. I'm not sure NASA could have pulled that off.

@George-K , @Jolly , it looks like you think Medicare reimbursement rates are too low. What public policy changes do you think is needed to address the Medicare reimbursement rate issue? Just raise the reimbursement rates? Also raise Medicare taxes to pay for the higher reimbursement rates?

@jon-nyc said in What did you give?: I recently got a Dyson. Expensive but works like a charm. Agree that a Dyson works very well, though I often wish the trigger is less sensitive.

TBH, I was never a big fan of Tyson, but I didn't think his Tweets were particularly egregious. There's certainly a lot worse out there. I don't think it's really all that awful, either, I just think it's a dick thing to do. Trust me, I would know.

For the most part, it's not hard to do the physical work. The limitations of design for a shed house can be hard. These guys in Texas make a living out of converting sheds: https://m. Link to video What works for them may not work for everybody. Different areas have different codes.

@copper said in For those who blame Trump for antivax: Mr. Trump came up with 3 vaccines in less than 9 months. Win. Putting on my Ax hat. LOL President Trump did not come up with the three vaccines. Research into vaccines for the corona type viruses has been going on for more than a decade. I have a friend who is a post-doc at USC in California and they have lab there that has been working on this for more than 10 years. What President Trump did (and should rightly deserve credit for it) was to remove "roadblocks" that delay the research and bringing a product such as this to market. Without his stepping in, I still think we would have had vaccines, but they would have been a while in the future.

@aqua-letifer said in Santa's sleigh looks like an Audi: "okay, fine. You chase this terrible idea down and when it fails, it'll be your ass explaining why we gave a car away to some nobody as you box your shit up in front of security. In the off chance this works, hey, great, it'll be a team win all around." Yup. Exactly! 555

I hope this is some kind of sick joke. That's fine for TNCR but otherwise, not so much

@jon-nyc said in What did you git?: @george-k said in What did you git?: A set of 4 insulated whiskey glasses (double wall glass). As if your whiskey ever has a chance of getting warm before it’s consumed…. That’s why there are four glasses, so he can line them up… that’s why

Horace I think that works and is similar in nature to my own inductive solution, based on the observation that you can always bisect the set of points such that each side has an equal number of red and blue points in it.

Hilarious.

The kitchen is a breeze. been there, done that. Every item in BGS has a tiny sticker that must be placed just so, and there are hundreds of pieces.

If he was, noodle arm and all, the Saints would be 10-4 or better.

Yup, it's always best to check around. Sometimes a big box beats Amazon. One thing I figure in is the time to drive somewhere. If I have to spend an hour of my time and deal with crowds, it is worth an extra couple bucks to stay at home and be comfortable - especially today. I'd bought a gift for a friend that I planned to take to the post office. Instead, I went on Amazon and had them send a gift - not as personal - but I shouldn't be in a public place at the moment - and standing in line somewhere might use up my allocation of energy for the week.
