There will be no way to avoid it completely short of hiding in a cave all day. As for it being over… the results will most likely be known by days end, but since one side is committed to not accepting those results the next few weeks could be unprecedented.

What I learned from living in the US during the previous 2 elections :

There is no real upside to watching this closely. Like the comments on a Youtube video, for your own mental health just dont.

Is that an alteration of the transcript or a difference of opinion on what was actually said in context? Both sound the same and both can be a valid interpretation of the words spoken.

Camera got them images

Nothing’s shocking…

Showed me everybody

Naked and disfigured

Nothing’s shocking…

Maybe try explaining what you meant instead of complaining that everyone is misunderstanding you. I dont see any context clues in there to indicate you mean anything other than the standard accepted meaning of “soyboy”

they are letting perfection be the enemy of good.

Need to factor in the carbon cost of constructing a new vehicle vs running a less efficient one for longer. Disposal and possible recycling of old vehicles, also not free. Upgrades to the charging grid and construction of charging locations for all those new vehicles. Brakes and tires also cause significant pollution and are still an issue no matter the power unit of the car.

Then compare all that to building trams and light rail in metro areas instead of building cities to accommodate cars, roads and parking lots instead of humans.

I bought a Butterball yesterday at my local YIG and it was $5.49/kg

Not the best price I have ever seen, but not terrible.

I read that as “incinerate” and thought it a little harsh. Only a little though.

Installing Steam is easy-peasy and well worth it. The only issues I have had so far with Proton is that the convoluted file structure makes it hard to remember where to put manually installed gamed mods for BeamNG.

old.reddit is the only usable version.

What about the last mile?!

I dont know about Toronto, but in every other big city I have driven in, walking a mile from my parking spot to my destination was pretty normal.

Having lived through the Trump years in the USA I do not grok how anyone can think it a proper way to run a government. It was not even the proper way to run a trash fire.

If this visit had cost me less that us$500 I would be shocked. Most likely answer is us$500-$1000.

When my wife had back surgery a few years ago the MRI alone cost us$600, the surgery with all of its various charges was over us$3k. I hope none of you have any idea how horrible it is waiting for a loved one to have surgery AND having to discuss payment/credit options with the staff on top of it. You are not thinking clearly and the numbers mean nothing because you dont have any choice but to agree. Then you feel horrible® because you are thinking about money instead of only if they will be OK.

smooth sailing once it moved into my bladder. before that the pain was enough to make me vomit.

Would not wish it on anyone. maybe Henry Kissinger but even then only maybe.

The article is not clear. Is the $71k price listed the cost of the surgery itself or surgery + hospital stay?

If it is just surgery then it is a very unfair comparison since the ICU stay would have been needed in either case, and at least some of the days in the ward for recovery.

As a former American, you do not want the American Health Care System unless you are very wealthy. It is an expensive bureaucratic disaster. BC Health may be imperfect but at least I am not paying us$700/month for family insurance that might be accepted by the doctor/hospital that sees me in an emergency.

Dwarf Fortress runs fine in Linux. Are you telling me there are other video games?!?
