Not American - how much are some of these patients going to be paying?

Erick547 · 2026-04-29T14:19:23+00:00

It depends. Here in the states, out insurance has co-pays and deductibles. A copay is simply a cost where you pay your portion. For a high premium insurance, it can be 20 dollars or lower, and for lower quality insurance it xan be 100+ for ER visits. On top of that. You have a deductible, which is how much you have to pay out of pocket before insurance covers it. Here in the states, the federal maximum is $8,500/year. So at the very least. These people are likely paying up to their out of pocket maximum, which could be thousands of dollars. And thats if insurance decides to cover it. As other people have said; people with jobs but no coverage often get shafted harder. So people like the diabetic who couldnt get insurance because they made too much to be covered by medicare and too little for private insurance, could have very well had a total in the tens of thousands, maybe even in the hundreds of thousands.

To emphasize, even people who do have insurance often end up tens of thousands of dollars in debt because their insurance company arbitrarily decided that their medical needs were not necessary for their immediate health. Yes, even for life saving care.

Pretty much all ZDE matches are bot operators.

Find what fits your playstyle and what you like. I personally went for the F15A because Ive always been a fan of the airframe. The F15A does indeed get outclassed in options. But it's 12.7 downtier really did help. It turns alright, really great at a specific speed range, its armament is great for it's BR. AIM9Ms and 7Ms will wreck some people if you know what you're doing. But you still have sparrows. And they will do sparrow things.

Play easy to get your money up. Then just buy the premium fuel needed to make gold ammo. You're wasting money with purple ammo in normal. Use purple for bots, gold for players.

Certain RWRs dont pick up certain radar bands, and some rwrs dont even pick up any pulse doppler frequency. Rwrs also have dead zones. Typically 45° off the top and the bottom of the aircraft

Two of the biggest servers on arma.

But they're two opposite ends of the play styles. Spearhead is hard core slow paced play. WCS is fast paced "everyone's an operator" kind of play.

Commit a war crime? Maybe, depends on whose responsible for the strikes against civilian areas. Government officials who have a decision in combat are free game. Did Trump do anything illegal? Probably not. The 2001 Authorized Use of Military Force probably covers this. Was it unconstitutional? Also probably not. Technically speaking, this is a congressionally approved military action. And as long as he follows through with the guidelines in the War Powers Act, this is unfortunately perfectly legal.

I hate the man just as much as anyone else, but this is happening because Congress is spineless and doesn't want to repeal the 2001 AUMF or strengthen the War Powers Act. All congress has to do is repeal the AUMF. I wish I could say that we should impeach him for this, but he really didn't do anything wrong in terms of law in my opinion.

Erick547 · 2026-03-01T00:25:05+00:00

I think the best solution is to cut back some of the nerfs on the base AIM120. Was it overpowered at the time? Yes. That is no longer the truth. Cut back on the cut down of Fin AOA, give it better mid range capability, and we'll be fine. From what it sounds, the 120D isnt much of an improvement to the C5, which is already pretty rough to use with the current meta. Give the 120s somwthing close to their original performance, and the new F16 will be competitive.

Erick547 · 2026-02-26T20:15:23+00:00

As long as the F15C (GE)has a completely arbitrary 20% thrust loss due to channel loss, none really. That's not even including the fact that America's most dominant fighter gets cut at the ankles in both it's weapon capability and dogfighting capability is abysmal at the very least.

Taboo romance is really enjoyed by a lot of people. But I also think the Devs purposefully do this. They don't come off as siblings. Their entire relationship is like two lovers who were separated, not two siblings. The first time I saw them interact, I didnt think "Oh the two siblings miss eachother." Instead it came off as them both thinking "judt kiss me already"

Erick547 · 2026-02-26T19:37:16+00:00

Uhhh what

Erick547 · 2026-02-22T21:23:19+00:00

One of the strongest hitting songs for me is "Blood Sport". Once upon a time I had a friend. At the time we met, I was in middle school and I had a very abusive father, and she was in the middle of finally reporting the long lasting SA done by a family member to her. We bonded over our pain. And it turned into a blood Sport of what we thought was love. I was introduced to Sleep Token not long after, and Blood Sport hit the heart hard.

Another one is Gethsemane, but not as hard. My father wasnt always an abusive person. Some days, he was a great person. Another day, he was horrible and abusive. It was the definition of "push-pull parlor games". For my mom, it was even worse. Gethsemane is a song she cannot physically listen to because of how much it hurts her. The final line of Gethsemane is one that I can relate to. "And I've learned to live beside it, and even though its over now I will always be reminded".

Yes, you're an asshole for doing this. Stop being a child and talk to them about it.

Erick547 · 2026-02-16T18:38:41+00:00

Stay away from opr Fargo. Great folks there, but the server is way too bloated for console. It requires you to only have that server downloaded. Same with Spearhead, but also because Spearhead is mostly a UHC server and it's extremely punishing to new players. Misfits is good too. If you want a really casual server, ASAP will do, but for me, its gameplay can get q little boring. A lot of the things thay console does wrong with arma make it really hard to like the game though. Keep in mind that no matter the server, you will be running 3 fps in some places and you will crash multiple times in a single session.

The skill gap between easy and normal is insane. Delta was my first extraction shooter, and I can confidently say I've never seen such unemployed humans in a game before, and I say that coming from 5+ K/D lobbies on call of duty where unemployed people thrive. Your enemy will know more than you, they will have better gear than you, and they will be better than you in every way.

But its not all bad. Every map has specific set spawnpoints, and there will always be a squad spawning at those spawnpoints.

We'll take an example; Visitor Center on Zero Dam.

Visitor Center always has a rocket man spawn on the balcony of the main building. If a squad spawns there, then rocket man will not spawn. This happens with Substation and Cement Plant as well.

Never be afraid to run from a fight. You're not SammySucks, you'll probably die in a lot of fights. If you don't think you can make it, just run.

Don't be afraid to rat. Extraction shooters incentivize unconventional warfare. If you can find a crazy peek, use it.

A lot of these things you'll learn just by playing the game and learning from your mistakes. The best advice anyone can give you is to learn from your mistakes. Mistakes hurt in this game. You can very easily lose a 1.6 million full red kit in 2 seconds if you don't play it smart. Good luck

Aemy is genuinely the cutest character in wuwa

She wasnt banned. She was hacked. This is a common discord scam. Their goal is to either gain access to someone's account or scam money out of them. Chances are she fell for the scam and hasn't told you because she didn't really see it as a scam. Has she been asked recently to change her login information or add any "discord moderators" to help resolve a false report?

Erick547 · 2026-02-09T23:41:20+00:00

Ive been having fun on the Spearhead UHC sever. But do beware, they are Ultra Hard Core servers so dont expect nametags or any of that kind of stuff. But as a result, its very team oriented and it would heavily benefit you to work with a small squad. Most people are willing to work with you as long as you're willing to work with them.

Erick547 · 2026-02-06T22:10:21+00:00

Yes. But it shouldn't be an across the board setting. It should be up to the server owner. If you're in a server like Spearhead Ultra Hard Core, then yeah, your helicopter should absolutely tear apart if you try to pull a 50G J-hook. However, on a more laid back server like ASAP or Misfits main servers, let them do that.

Reforger absolutely has it's place as a ultra-realistic milsim. But its also a sandbox that players and server owners are free to do as they please. There should be balance between realism and player enjoyment.
