And yet, still cheaper to own and in the shop less than an Audi?

Doctor salaries make up something like 8-9% of US healthcare spending. I think you have your finger on it. Anecdotally, not many med students I have known are interested in primary care from a...

No. My Dad's woodshed has been keeping wood dry for something like 40 years and I think the only stick of PT lumber might be the corner posts. You are way overbuilt. :)

I guess if the people who live and pay taxes in rich person playgrounds like Aspen want to do this good for them, but it certainly leaves a sour taste in many peoples mouths when its state and...

Detail - the build out on the units was planned for 2042 right? So it's not like they were going to drop 6000 units in town over night.

Foggy- "why should I vote to tax myself such that the...

Helped me to realize I didn't give a shit about achieving more in my professional life. Let me refocus my brain on other things and new challenges in other areas of life.

Hmmm, I was going to start a thread on whole albums I should be listening to on a cross country drive, but maybe I need to be thinking about audiobooks....

Come on, the only ones looking bad here are the people so obsessed with Kate Middleton and the Royals that they sit around with their thumbs up their asses and spin up gossip and then feign outrage...

My experience is that most buying agents are not worth the fee and maybe a significant reduction in their numbers will improve the quality.

Also, like you note, they just have to much incentive to...

That was my reaction when I told him I would be there.

Last buying agent I had told me a day before the inspection by the inspector that I a) couldn't attend the inspection and b) couldn't inspect the house myself because "you might break something".

Man, you really are crazy.

Thanks for the input, as well as those who opined and I'm not quoting here.

The Pope should just focus on getting his own house in order.

McDonalds drip coffee is as good as Starbucks drip coffee and costs half as much.

Here is what I can gather:

- Remove Hamas and return hostages
- Demilitarize Gaza
- Establish 1km security buffer from existing Gaza border, including border with Egypt (in progress)
- Ongoing...

Sure, Hamas could do all that, but do we really expect a violent terrorist organization to do that?

In the meantime the conflict doesn't seem to be slowing the US military from air dropping and...

Violent terrorist organization does violent terrorist shit. Duh.

Israel is part of the western democratic first world order, so that's the expectation for them.

Well, depends on who in the Isreal government will be in control. Some in the Isreali government have indicated that they are fine with Gaza being flattened, Palestinans forced out ("Gaza Nakbah"),...

Isreal is the occupying power in Gaza. Right?

If yes, they have obligations under the Geneva Convention towards civilians. It appears that some of Isreal's allies are judging that they are not...

Outbacks that are '12 and newer have oil consumption issues. Something to do with trying to eek out better MPG by switching to lower weight oil (0w20) and not designing the piston/piston rings...

Wow, I was all hung up on the science, but here are two other great reasons the sun should go down early. :)

Many schools in my area have just gone through an adjustment to make HS start times later to accommodate the sleep science which says waking up teenagers to go to school in the dark is a bad idea. So...

If you are arguing against the switch from DST to PST on the basis of health, then we should stay on PST according to the sleep experts, because permanent DST is going to result in more dark mornings...

Honestly trying to figure out if we should just bag the whole skiing thing next year in favor of other activities. I don't want to spend tons of time (currently doing 1.5 hours one way) in the car to...

East coasters - looks like I'll be living in south central CT next ski season. What are reasonable options for skiing with young kids who don't need any more terrain than a blue? What else does a...

Well hey, at least that's better than Bobby and TNKen owning up to the fact they were intentionally trolling in a thread that's genesis was the slaughter of kids in a school in Texas.

He ducked out of the CoVID thread pretty quick as soon as he was asked to provide some very simple information regarding his claims about vaccine data. It's the same thing over and over.

Some ideas have been floated as acceptable by people opposed to additional gun control in this thread and nationally and there are some obvious things politicians should do in response to these...

Maybe this goes in the travel hacks thread, but does any website offer a good way to filter by aircraft type if one wanted to avoid Boeing products for awhile?

Appreciate the comments on the ease of installation and robustness here.

No, no, I'm going to be a pedant here. You are talking about analysis of the data. Leroy is saying the data itself is fucked up. So again, see my post above Leroy.

I'd be replacing galvanized that is nearing the end of it's life. I'm about 90% certain they repiped the bathroom remodel entirely in copper, so would just need to solder on a pex fitting to make the...

1.5 hour drive to from the hill and it can be 60 at home and 25 on the hill.

So it's comfort for 3 hours or uncomfortable for 45 seconds in the parking lot. No brainer.

Leroy, I'm trying really hard to parse this argument across the last few pages, so maybe I'm missing a post or two.
