Yeah, but a lot of insurance plans also have coverage maximums.

You'd be fine, aside from the attorney's fees for declaring bankruptcy.

...Oh, and probably losing your housing.

I say, it's your money, make the choice yourself. I'd rather donate time and money to an org like Food Not Bombs where they can use the same amount of money to help more people. But, let's face it, I'm too busy these days to find the time to volunteer. So for me, if I have money--and I usually don't--I'll give them what I feel like I can.

Sure, but Dem voters should also be mad at the Democratic establishment. Like Schiff, or Pelosi, or any NY Dem that didn't congratulate and endorse Mamdani. They're also carrying water for the billionaires.

This Russia can't defeat Ukraine because of all of the assistance that Ukraine has been receiving from the US in particular, but other NATO and EU countries in general. If we truly ceased all military aid, and the EU countries didn't pick up the slack, yeah, Russia would eventually roll over Ukraine. TBH, as far as the US is concerned, we've managed to bleed an enormous adversary almost dry, all without any American soldiers every being shot at (well, except for the people that had the guts and convictions to go to Ukraine and volunteer; I wish I didn't have responsibilities...).

Without aid, the war would have been over in a year; Ukraine has the will, but they didn't have the tanks, the anti-air defense systems, and so on. And on the other side of that, if the US had given them everything that they wanted up front, instead of slow-rolling 'offensive' weapons systems, Ukraine could have wrecked Russia in a year.

You don't have to listen to it loud...

They're okay, depending on what your goals are. But they aren't the be-all, end-all by a long shot.

I guess I would say that they're good for certain kinds of 'functional' fitness (altho, to be clear, all fitness improves function), but if your goals are hypertrophy or power, they're not going to get you there.

FWIW I was RKC ceertified (although my certification has lapsed).

There's absolutely no way in hell that it's just adultery, not when she explicitly says that she can't remain and still hold on to her 'Christian' values. Paxton has done a fuckton of things things that explicitly go against what Jesus taught in the four gospels, and against damn near everything that Paul wrote as well, so it's gotta be more than just extra-marital sex.

Reducing the US military budget would likely also have the added 'feature' of resulting in Europe being under the thumb of Russia, and Africa, Asia, and South America being under the thumb of China. A large military budget--even if the military isn't used--has the effect of acting as a deterrent. We've already seen that Russia has no qualms about using their military when they think they can get away with it, and China is continually threatening Taiwan (among others).

Kind of. It's still not nearly as effective as Firefox with uBlock and a few other extensions. The downside is that some sites are just broken on Firefox, and blocking ads, etc. makes a relative few sites unusable. Which, yeah, 99.999% of the time I'm fine with. Until it's something I need to do for my day job.

Speak for yourself.

I'm an anarchist that wants to destroy America.

Just 1" PTFE domes. Nothing super weird.

I mean, more weird than subdermal implants.
