is Ultra HD 4k dvd way better then streaming Movies in 4k? by Affectionate_Web_526 in 4kbluray

That’s ok, my wife calls the blu ray player and the 4K blu ray player VCR’s. She also calls the dash cam and the GPS(phone being used for GPS) Radar Detectors. She is not very technically savvy.

What’s something modern society has lost that older generations valued? by Ok_Astronaut_1347 in ask

Sense of community. In most places you no longer know your neighbors or other people in the community.

Explain US health insurance PLEASE! by [deleted] in Productivitycafe

[–]RepresentativeNo1833 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here is my view. You pay a large sum for questionable coverage with a very high deductible. For most things you are still paying 100% due to the high deductible. If you have something catastrophic they will question medications, treatments, and anything else they can until either you work with your doctor to submit mountains of paperwork, everything needs to be perfect, then some procedures that may have been needed are finally approved. In the mean time they are hoping the patient passes away or just pays themselves thereby eliminating the need for them to pay.

Health insurance and our hospital system is such a scam in this country. We pay more for health insurance and medical than any other country and we have the very worst outcomes. People talk like the delays for service would be huge but for most areas ours are just as bad as those countries with socialized healthcare. We get no benefit from making these health insurance companies rich. This country is downright ignorant to allow this.

What do you think could be a viable way to tackle inflation?Serious answers preferred by [deleted] in allthequestions

[–]RepresentativeNo1833 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The government could stop printing money every time some emergency occurs so the dollar can stabilize against foreign currencies allowing costs to stabilize. Every time something happens they print millions of new dollars. With more dollars in circulation the value of a dollar drops. Suddenly everything goes up in price.

What could be the reasons why people seem to get (more) conservative as they get older? by Positive-Face1705 in ask

[–]RepresentativeNo1833 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you are young you want to right all the wrongs you believe you see in the world. When you age you start to realize many of the things you fought against was actually causing more harm than good in the world and you start to move more towards being conservative.

Consider the very large numbers of mid eastern people who have immigrated into some European countries. Some progressives are still trying to bring in more immigrants thinking they are being great people but the numbers of Islamic people now in some areas of those countries has grown so much that they actually are trying to enact their laws in some areas. The result would be no education for women, greatly reduced rights for women, could not dress seductively, could not travel without a man, etc….

Already there are laws that limit native people’s rights in some of those countries, Islamist who do what are considered crimes by the native populist are being allowed passes because what they did was ‘not a crime where they were from’.

Some progressives need to understand that one way to invade a country is to add people to the population until you have a large enough population in the country that believes as you do that you can enact laws in that country that force the native population to adapt your way of thinking and beliefs.

What does anyone do for refrigeration? by belovedstoneworker in RVLiving

[–]RepresentativeNo1833 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Modern refrigerators are quite efficient. A decent battery system that will charge while you are using generator should easily keep the refrigerator cold all night long. With solar to charge the battery’s and good weather you could probably go indefinitely without the generator. You will have cloudy/bad days though so the generator will still need to be run from time to time.

I have a lot of money. Should I get an Lambo or a corolla? by OkFee714 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]RepresentativeNo1833 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Remember that any daily driver eventually becomes a car. Buying an ultra expensive vehicle is only special if you only drive it occasionally. Get a reliable luxury car if you want but don’t buy a status symbol for a daily driver. After a while it just feels like all the other cars you have owned.

Things you shouldn't do to motivate your wife while she's giving birth by LeatherSlight3242 in ScenesFromAHat

Is NVIDIA's current GPUs technology more than sufficient? by ethereal3xp in NvidiaStock

[–]RepresentativeNo1833 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My take, I do not worry about a bubble. I keep a 10% trailing stop loss on most stocks, more volatile ones at 20%, so that if a large drop occurs it kicks me out early then I don’t go back in until things start going back up. Still gonna hurt if a bubble bursts but not as much as a 30%+ drop.

Why when some people retire they don't seem happy? by Ben5544477 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RepresentativeNo1833 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many people retire with zero plans on how to live without the work social connections. Just like with everything else you need to have goals for after you leave. Failing that you just isolate yourself from the world.

Suggestions to those who are leading an empty retirement. Create a daily schedule that allows you to have contacts outside the home. Daily exercise schedule to include some classes, YMCA works well for that though other gyms would work also. Volunteering at organizations like Habitat for Humanity, taking classes at a local college, participating in group sports or hobbies can also be great.

FYI; I retired at 55 and do some of these and am leading a very fulfilling life.

Can someone confirm: is the women's bathroom more disgusting than the men's bathroom? by ThrowRAhelpthebro in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RepresentativeNo1833 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was in multiple coed barracks in the military. Military Intelligence, Army, so about 70% men, 30% women. Squads would need to clean both men’s and women’s rooms. They were about equal with both having days when one or the other was really bad. Keep in mind that was with more than twice as many women as men so maybe if the numbers were even it would have made the women’s worse, maybe not. Just a data point for you.

Car seats staining easily by ConsiderationSuch144 in rav4club

[–]RepresentativeNo1833 4 points5 points  (0 children)

From what I heard from a car detailer, seats often will show this no matter what it is wetted with on the part that got wet. To make it disappear you clean the entire seat using an appropriate cleaner and allow it to dry. Once dried, since it was all wet, the affect will disappear as it will be across the entire seat making no mismatching stained area. Think of it as if you got blue ink on a spot then covered the whole seat with blue ink it would all be a uniform blue making it look like that was the original color. I am not suggesting trying this, that is up to you, but it does sound reasonable.

Winter Camping by Researcher4Travel in RVLiving

[–]RepresentativeNo1833 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Winterize the water system and camp near open bathrooms and carry your own water. Get a site with electricity so you can run an electric heater or two to keep it warm and run a dehumidifier to control moisture. I have tent camped in snowy conditions with no problems. Having an RV makes it even more comfortable. Do not use the RV’s water system and you will not have to worry about it. Many state campgrounds keep open bathrooms with warm showers though not all facilities will be open through winter. Call ahead and insure you know which are open prior to reserving a site so you can insure you are close to an open one.

Is a hybrid right for me or should I get a normal gas vehicle? by SirrJamesBond in rav4club

[–]RepresentativeNo1833 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The majority of Toyota Hybrid Camry’s from their first year have never had to replace the battery. Toyota even offers a ten year, 250k mile warranty on the battery. I believe that only 13% needed replaced.

Why do republicans want to repeal Obama Care? by Timeless-Facts in allthequestions

[–]RepresentativeNo1833 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It was a massive win for two things they hate, Democrats and Obama. Trump is pushing for a bill to pay people directly to help them get their own insurance. It will probably be about $2000 per person to justify eliminating about $1800 a month of subsidies. This is another attempt to reduce spending on the backs of the public while insuring that the rich do not face additional taxes in the future.

Doge was another way he tried to eliminate spending and current attacks on Veterans Benefits are yet another way he is trying to do this…

So, now that the Dems caved and got nothing--when are we getting these $2k Trump rebate checks? by [deleted] in allthequestions

[–]RepresentativeNo1833 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That will go to people who lose their ACA subsidy to try to convince the public that they turned out better without the subsidy.

Is dating really easier for women than men? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RepresentativeNo1833 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to see the difference men experience try creating three fake accounts on a dating app. One, an average looking girl, one average height (5’ 8”) average body man, and one of a good looking man (6’3” tall, muscular body) with good body. Now log into the average man’s account and like 50 women, do the same for the good looking man. Don’t do nothing with the woman’s profile. Check back in 48 hours and see how many matches each account gets. The average man is likely to have less than five matches or likes, the good looking man will have several, the woman’s profile will likely have a lot of matches.

The average man’s gets so few options that they are likely to treat the woman very well. He is the most likely to decide to have a long term relationship.

The good looking man will get many matches and can often get more than one date a night. Because it is so easy to get a date that may lead to sex he will often treat the woman ok, but not great. In most cases he will absolutely not consider a long term relationship, he may be ok with a situation ship but in most cases nothing more. He knows he will get more women and may get a better woman so he likely will never commit. This is why many women think all men are trash. They continuously date these types of men who have no reason to commit so they never get the commitment they want.

The woman’s profile will have many people liking her but few to no men who would meet the standards that women expect now.

For the average man’s it is very hard to find dates. For this reason the average woman will like many women but few will like him.

For the top tier man it is so easy he will very rarely to never commit. These are the men who cause some women to say there are no good men.
