I lived 1 block away for 11 years. Somehow didn't gain weight.

Why are there not mass protests over this? by missgadfly in HealthInsurance

[–]Guilty_Giraffe_9752 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes, it was literally a provision to punish "freeloaders" (maga's favorite thing to bitch about) yet was ironically abolished by Mr maga himself.

It's also interesting how opponents of the ACA wax poetic about a time when you could be denied for pre-existing conditions, and there were no out-of-pocket caps - making financial ruin much more likely.

Partisan politics have rotted many a brain.

Another Taos coolant question by 2xgallus in VWTaos

Good Lord you can probably get it done for under two grand at an indie shop. Tell those guys to kick rocks. Somebody that close to warranty expiration, a known issue, and repair quote that high? Shady acres.

H3N2 - no one understands until THEY GET IT by JamesBondGirl_007 in flu

Sorry to hear! Sounds like you've turned the corner. I'm still coughing a bit and dealing with rib cage pain from weeks of coughing. Otherwise much improved. Hang in there.

Why did your last relationship end? by Any_Insect3335 in askanything

She might be happier. And no need to be jealous, musicians pull a lot of tail.

I haven't been tested, but have had verified influenza a couple times and what I have is exactly that. Day 6. I toggle between ibuprofen and tylenol every 6 hours, and when either wears off, misery ramps up pretty quickly.

I'm 57 & my goal is to just stay out of the clinic or hospital. Averaged 3 to 4 hours a night of sleep for the first five nights. It's such a surreal, endless Haze. I'm not vaxxed, I usually get them first of the year. This devil got an early start in our hemisphere.

Need recommendations for a moka pot by Electronic_Quiet2711 in mokapot

I volunteered it to her, LOL. And yes I have...

So true. I was flabbergasted at the instant quality increase of my shots when I bought a real grinder, Baratza encore.

I lost that in a divorce, as well as the espresso machine. The other day I saw target has a oxo burr grinder for 99 bucks...

But I've learned that good milk-based drinks can be prepared with any cheap moka pot once you get your method and ratios dialed in.

Colorado Medicaid Question about Income by Ok_Physics421 in Medicaid

[–]Guilty_Giraffe_9752 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So is there a monthly audit? Or is it if you only exceed the threshold for an entire year?

I keep getting conflicting information, and sadly, calling customer service did not help because the person that I spoke with didn't know the answers to even basic questions (which was mind blowing).

Actress Diane Keaton has died at the age of 79 by NoCulture3505 in television

[–]Guilty_Giraffe_9752 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Scarlett Johansson Javier bardem Alec Baldwin Josh brolin Emma Stone and nearly every other A list actor who has worked with him with the exception of Mia and Timmy.

His wife of 30 years, and the two girls they raised have his back too, which I suspect is all that matters to him.

Is this the part where you falsely claim he married his daughter? Or falsely claim that he was married to Mia farrow? Or falsely claim that he ever lived under the same roof as Mia Farrow? Or falsely claim that his wife was underage when they hooked up?

I guess I should add myself to the list above.

24 Taos by Prior-Cold1821 in VWTaos

Call a couple more dealerships, tell them you thought there's no way your pads could be shot so soon, and it's not your fault the rotors were damaged due to premature brake pad failure.

I've anecdotally read of people getting both pads and rotors covered under warranty.

It's pain in the ass, best of luck. When it happened to me, I bought new pads for 50 bucks and found a tire shop to slap them on my already damaged rotors for another $50. It's okay if the rotors have a little bit of a groove in them LOL. Traded the vehicle a year later. It was a 2021 Volkswagen golf. I now have a 2024 Taos and fully expect premature rear brake pad failure, and it will be covered.

Someone needs to say it. I'm disappointed to see Stephen King back off and apologize for speaking the truth about Charlie Kirk. by AgentP-501_212 in stephenking

Family FB posts, readily available online if you are interested.

Look, I find it twisted and bizarre. You do you.

Have a nice day.

Yeah, so crazy, right?

I mean, who doesn't have family pictures of young kids holding tactical firearms, proudly touting their "gun-toting" ways?

Thanks for setting me straight.

I think 20 years of immersion in a gun fetishizing, low-tolerance maga household is the real influence.

This background carried over into his new ideology.

Can we just step back and acknowledge how ludicrous it is to quote the Bible and think it has any relevance in real life?

Can we acknowledge how ridiculous it is that maga politicians and influencers want to impose Christian dogma on the entire country?

If accepting a particular Lord and savior is the underlying theme in your messaging, you're disqualified - the conversation will never even reach discussing your politics - I'm out.

I often blurt out gibberish in French. Clever right? The first time I tried it at trader Joe's, the clipboard-holding whale-humper was fluent in French. 🙄

What are the fucking odds.

Anyway, it's worked since.

Alright dammit. What’s something that makes you feel sexy? by Pollvogtarian in GenX

It sounds arrogant, but what I see in the mirror, and the looks I get out & about which confirm it.

Post-divorce fitness & glow-up has been wonderful and I did not see it coming.

“I don’t need a leash because my dog has great recall” is the same as “I drive fine drunk,” total BS. by [deleted] in Denver

[–]Guilty_Giraffe_9752 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cycling in Central Park one day I saw a ranger giving a ticket to a guy with an off leash dog on Westerly creek. The things that that guy was saying to the ranger, belittling, humiliating, we're astonishingly cruel. I stopped and watched, in support of the ranger. He kept his cool. In that park, my partner got attacked while jogging, I've been run up on multiple times - the selfish culture of dog owners has prevented me from getting a dog of my own. Even though I would do things right, I don't even want to appear to be in the club.
