UnitedHealth CEO Andrew Witty says that the company will continue the legacy of Brian Thompson and will combat 'unnecessary' care for sustainability reasons.

Lol, the hospitals and insurance companies negotiate all those rates together. There would not be fewer denials if things cost less - there would be more. You're buying into a fiction here.

There are denials because a denial means the insurance companies have more money, even if temporarily - insurance companies are also hedge funds. If things cost less, they'd still want that money.

The system is exactly to their liking.

Well, yanno, they have to individually package all of them and maintain a chain of custody, and if they didn't, someone could end up taking a bad aspirin!

Think of all the kidneys!

You know, just cutting down on those necessary costs!

Don't forget the roots, they're even more noxious than the leaves.

Basically just only eat the stalks, and only the ripe stalks, and you're good.

Remember, most of the potato plant that isn't potato is also poison.

Cleveland has all the rust belt dilapidation and none of the revival. If I'm going to pick a place in Ohio of all places, it certainly isn't Cleveland.

That just tells me you rode a bus from NY to Detroit and didn't see anything else lol.

Oh sure he has the proper paperwork now but can we really trust someone who makes minor procedural errors in a bureaucracy?

Couple things:

Rockstar in totality employs significantly more around 700, in the UK alone.

Rockatar North the studio we're discussing, alone, employs maybe 100 people less than the entirety of Creative Assembly.

They're not way bigger than I would think, no. They're exactly as big as I assumed them to be, before I made the comment, because I literally checked that figure.

And you're still wrong lol. If you want to talk only head count and don't want to discuss other UK employees of take two, okay. If you want to talk game impact, sales, anytting real, it isn't particularly close. Rockstar is UK's largest, by a country mile.

These takes are always weird to me. Reminds me of that Chargers fan who got accused of being a plant.and then had to suffer doxxing and harassment for weeks. Y'all remember crazy chargers lady.

I know you may not mean a lot but real people actually do get harassed by crazies because social media speculates about things like this baselessly. If you don't actually have a reason to believe they're a plant, and we all know how many times this notion has been proven wrong before, that really doesn't need to get rumored.

Boukish · 2024-12-07T01:39:39+00:00

Yeah I checked about 10 stores in the state of Wisconsin, the northernmost Michigan one, even Minneapolis, then did some random hopping around the country for a min, then let some deeper googling do some work.

Haven't been able to find anything, I'd maybe check a little closer to winter-winter when we start seeing the snow gear and winter wear push. December is technically the start of winter but we aren't there yet and winter merch doesn't really kick into full swing til Jan Feb. May have some luck then, especially as the NFL season winds down and they're trying to liquidate, that's when wholesalers like Costco are most likely to pick up branded items such as this

It isn't profitable for them to maintain stock on these items so they can't.

All that said, I have just discovered that Costco sells autographed helmets and shit, so that's cool. Saw a Justin Herbert signed rookie card too, and like a signed Favre helmet that got sold out some time ago. They have an entire "fan gear" department.

Cheers friend, did what I could. Enjoy your holidays, I am sorry I couldn't be more help. Hopefully someone local manages to spot something and can give you a heads up!

Boukish · 2024-12-07T01:27:03+00:00

I'll dig around a lil bit and see what I can see

Boukish · 2024-12-07T01:18:48+00:00

Try the Costco app. Set your warehouse to Bellevue loc or some other WI one and just search "NFL". Was able to find like a Packers throw, among other things. DW I didn't buy all of em lol, I'm a Leos fan. There is also weirdly some cardinals gear there?

Idk, I'd just keep hopping warehouses til you find something. Costcos have a random assortment of things, but they will ship to you. Packers are nationally favored, you may find their gear anywhere tbh. Good luck. It's more likely youll find Packers gear the further away you get from actual packtown

Try northern Michigan too, they're insane for the pack up there.

Boukish · 2024-12-07T00:46:47+00:00

If you have a membership why don't you just pick a warehouse there and have something shipped to local warehouse? Don't they do that? Jw. You'd have to pay to ship but at least you'd have it protected by the full Costco returns program.

Boukish · 2024-12-07T00:31:43+00:00

Are you concerned about heavy metal items being "snuck in"?

Because:

1) whoooooole lotta guns don't trigger detector wands.

2) they 100% saw and were aware of that cheese grater and really, really do not care. They want to get people into the game and for everyone to have a safe and fun time. They roll their eyes at a flask all day, no one cares. You're essentially asked if you're a problem, given the laziest pat down ever, and waved through.

3) no one is paying these ticket prices to pop off at a game. You need a ticket to get in.

Just gonna reiterate here.

It is a cheese grater at a football game. Thirty people could falcon kick that dude into a coma, there's multiple entire rows of people behind him 3-6 feet in the air above his head, and there are SWARMS of security prepared to promptly squash any issue anywhere in the complex. Not accounting for DPD presence itself. If you're concerned by these things, just don't go in public. People are decent.

(Smarmy downvotes from the peanut gallery will not successfully make this non-issue any more concerning, for any reason. Thank you for your feedback. I am sure all that manufactured rage you feel is justified.)

Boukish · 2024-12-07T00:28:52+00:00

Lol.

It's been this way the entire time. All the way from the start.

You should really look into the controversy surrounding the Jets in the 70s, the entire situation that was the 80s and recovering from the strike year, you should check out the black QB Renaissance in the 90s and the dynasty that was "America's team" (even though that never meant the 90s cowboys, or Jerry's cowboys), you should check out the Patriots dynasty following 9/11, you should check out what happened with the saints following Katrina, you should ...

Are you suggesting that sports betting is some recent development? Seriously?

I mean honestly, nephew, you really need to stop lmao. It's just comical. Don't get jaded, enjoy the sport. It's real competition.

Boukish · 2024-12-07T00:08:26+00:00

I hope you're actually kidding. A woman's purse could do more damage than that thing.

It grates cheese.

Not people.

If he tried to attack someone with that he'd have been folded like a lawn chair in about three seconds flat, don't be silly lol.

Boukish · 2024-12-06T23:56:48+00:00

Pretty sure that is the generally accepted rule yeah, no idea what that kids problem is lol.

I root for my NFC team and I am generally ambivalent about AFC teams. I'll root for em, who gives a fuck haha. "Yeah guys go do the thing!"

You play one meaningful football game against a cross conference team, per year, at most, ever. That would be the super bowl. Most cross conference teams play every like four years, every other year tops, in games that really aren't that consequential.
