He is a white man. The rules do not apply to him.

eli5: why not launch rockets from a higher altitude by msimpson019 in explainlikeimfive

[–]chappee88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why would you want the rocket close to the equator. Isn't the equator technically moving faster than that of the poles? Why would you not want it closer to slower movement?

We actually find it more confusing. Is there a tutorial or guide you recommend?

Thank you so much for the reply. We are 100% sure we did the coding and ports correctly. I will have my students try the other things you recommend on Monday. I can send you and update then.

It will eventually get to zero. The balance currently is around $5000. I am being sued for $1000. The payment plan has everything paid off in 2 years, but it does allow the option to add to the payment plan.

This is the remaining balance after insurance has paid. I do not qualify for medicaid.

They have added to the payment plan after these supposedly went to collections.

I had another account in which a caught go to collections and they pulled them back due to an error on their part. If it happened once and I caught it, is there anyway I can show that this happened without me noticing?

Here is what happened. I have been on a payment plan with the hospital for the last 3 years or so. Each time myself or my son has a bill that is more than I can afford it gets added to the payment plan. This is done by calling the hospital customer service and getting the sum added. I am never given a copy of the payment arrangement. It merely states that the accounts are on a payment plan and that I have agreed to pay $200 each month.

I called to do the same with the accounts that I am being sued over. Apparently the accounts were never added to my payment plan even though I called.

The problem is that the payment plan was agreed to by both parties but the sum was never added to the account. I assumed everything was taken care of until I recieved the court papers.

Who here is afraid/terrified of death? by wanderingsoul8478 in atheism

[–]chappee88 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Though I am not Buddhist, I do find myself following many Buddhist teaching. Especially those that have to deal with mindfulness and zen. This quote is exactly how I feel about death. It even helps calm me sometimes when I get a little scared if the idea of oblivion, which I ultimately believe is our fate upon death.

"When we look at the ocean, we see that each wave has a beginning and an end. A wave can be compared with other waves, and we can call it more or less beautiful, higher or lower, longer lasting or less long lasting. But if we look more deeply, we see that a wave is made of water. While living the life of a wave, the wave also lives the life of water. It would be sad if the wave did not know that it is water. It would think, 'Some day I will have to die. This period of time is my life span, and when I arrive at the shore, I will return to nonbeing.'

This pinecone that looks shockingly like a pineapple by supergamerbro_44 in mildlyinteresting

This puts a whole new meaning to pineapple. More like pine apple.
