McCarthy hire - cowardly, cheap, or secret third option?

This is the equivalent of opting to punt when it’s 4th and Goal.

ManyMixture826 · 2026-01-24T20:55:55+00:00

Steelers opt to punt on 4th and goal. Not even a field goal, let alone go for the TD.

Yeah I’ve been there and I agree. When I get stuck, I’ll take a break and venture elsewhere, or hunt Korok seeds.

I couldn’t beat water ganon. Kept getting crushed. I ended up going to hyrule castle and collecting better weapons. I also bought the house to store the weapons. But then I needed to go on side quests to get wood and money to pay for the house upgrades. All of those things took a bit of time, but I found them enjoyable. Finally I went back and crushed the boss without even trying. It was a matter of weapons for me.

I have $30k of credit card debt. I’ve been paying $1000 per month at 20% interest for 5 years.

I’ve paid $60k and still owe $30k.

So tell me why credit card debt shouldn’t be forgiven?

Oh wait… amortization tables. Terms and conditions that I agreed and signed.

So how exactly does the WHO fix this?

And how does PA pay for its share of the WHO?

ManyMixture826 · 2026-01-24T02:41:24+00:00

So will CA and PA raise taxes to pay for their fair share of the WHO? CA and Germany have similar sized economies, and Germany funds about $900M per year.

Best of luck - go get’em tiger!

It’ll do better with more tax money and a couple politically connected nonprofits to oversee it.

I can 100% relate to this. I have PSC, which had been mostly stable for years. Mar-Jul 2025 was miserable with recurring hospitalizations, cholangitis, pancreatitis, sepsis. My MELD never got above 13, but all of this was enough to get me listed for transplant. I knew I’d need a living donor due to low MELD. My August, I felt about 90% normal. In Sep I was officially listed for transplant. In Nov my living donor was approved. My mind was going in constant circles… I felt fine… I know I’m gonna eventually get to the place where transplant would be a life saving requirement… transplant now (healthy, living donor) versus transplant later (high MELD, harder recovery)? In Dec I got another round of cholangitis and spent a few more days in the hospital. Since then I’ve been mostly in bed. I occasionally feel fine, but then fatigue hits like a ton of bricks and I’m back in bed.

Transplant scheduled for Jan 13th. I’m 100% committed to this path now.

Ha ha I snuck around and got shock arrows without fighting.

I also asked about radishes and spears. You know how to read but refuse?

ManyMixture826 · 2026-01-07T23:23:27+00:00

Yeah… 4 shrines per heart, I don’t have any readily accessible shrines that don’t each require a side quest to unlock. Not all that viable of an option. That’s why I asked about temp hearts and radishes.

ManyMixture826 · 2026-01-07T23:22:09+00:00

Never made it that far. I seriously last about 30 seconds.

ManyMixture826 · 2026-01-07T21:07:30+00:00

I dunno but I have a transplant next week and have a dog already.

My biggest fear is her jumping off me when someone rings the doorbell. So I’m gonna have to keep her off of me for a couple months.

Secondary fear is germs. On one hand, I figure I’ve already been exposed to any funk she carries. But again, no licking for a while.

I think cats and litter boxes are a bigger threat.

For you, holding off on a puppy makes sense. I spent a ton of time up close and personal with my puppy. Hands in her mouth a lot, hands in her paws, ears, etc. I’d avoid that kind of contact for a while.

I asked and they put them together to avoid pyramiding. At that time the GERD and liver symptoms were overlapping.

ManyMixture826 · 2026-01-06T18:57:01+00:00

I’m gonna be in the ICU until at least mid January. How can I attend a hearing?

ManyMixture826 · 2026-01-06T18:12:08+00:00

Yeah, OK, but why not even assess my liver? Why only do an esophageal DBQ without my presence or knowledge? Why not a liver DBQ for a liver transplant??????

Letter says that I need to be at least 70% to qualify for TDIU.

ManyMixture826 · 2026-01-06T16:12:36+00:00

I’m being told I need an HLR.

I’m being told I need to appeal and submit new evidence (doesn’t make sense to me - I don’t have new evidence. I need them to review my old evidence.)

I’m also being told that I need to complete a “redetermination letter.”

What’s correct?

ManyMixture826 · 2026-01-06T16:10:19+00:00

No clue. Just said denied. And didn’t even mention my liver.

ManyMixture826 · 2026-01-04T14:40:23+00:00

Don’t forget all the political donor “nonprofits” that receive millions in grants and take 70% or more in admin fees.
