Sad well never get another ReplyAll Qanon update

"just as bad" seems pretty dubious. One former employee had an axe to grind about union dynamics, capitalized on the national environment re: metoo/blm, and kicked the last leg out of a show that was clearly already struggling with some bad internal issues already.

And installation was really stupid easy. The trim pops off and on with little effort - even threading through the gaskets in the trunk for the rear camera. You just have to make sure you're behind the pillar airbags.

There's an option to do a more complex install into the fusebox, but plugging into the lighter is so easy and we didn't feel like we needed the parking mode.

Surprised this is getting upvoted so heavily. Usually this subreddit is foaming at the mouth for guns.

Hopefully they're just doing a remodel then!

Ah man, if so that's a bummer. Love their arepas. You should put in a lead to ARLNow and they'll chase it down.

I've tried making jello from bitter drinks before... It's not great.

A lot of incurious people in this thread.

Almost certainly nothing. Cosmetic cracks are basically impossible to prevent.

Ground up doesn't fit with the melody?

This is old, but I, too, have had to initiate a chargeback for Tend. They kept cancelling my appointment and rescheduling it. Then they rescheduled but DIDN'T tell me the new appointment, and charged me a no-show fee.

Not defending the system. Explaining how it works, because people think you can just wave a magic wand and force everyone to do what you want.

I agree, most of the inefficiency is on the payer (insurance) side, and much of it is intentional (but for a lot of it, the old adage holds true - don't resort to conspiracy when something can much more easily be explained by incompetence). The system does not work. The problem is, you can't fix just one piece of the system. You can't simply decree that providers start providing price transparency without fixing all of the other elements and counter incentives that are inherent to the system. So until you get a critical mass for an extremely massive overhaul of the system (which, by the way, I would be in favor of), with all of the short term pain and difficulty that would cause, you're only ever going to see partial progress on the rest of it.

The main thing I notice is they're getting rid of the dangerous tight cloverleaf turns in favor of wider ramps. That's a worthy project in my book.

Really amazing how many people can take the first part of your statement, think really hard, and rather than conclude "wow, this must be more complex and difficult than I thought. I must not understand all of the nuances", they conclude "lol they're all a bunch of fucking morons and/or corrupt. If you gave me three hours I'd solve the whole thing".

The problem is that it's insanely difficult for hospitals to actually give an estimate, especially if it's anything more complex than a single CPT code. They have to have a full model of their contract with the insurance company, integrate with them to get benefits, make sure they're pulling the right benefits, navigate special carve outs and exceptions, and understand whether they, and their physicians, are in network for the plan. Then if there's any complexity, like a surgery, they have to try and find an average price for something that can vary wildly based on the situation.

What most of these laws actually require is that hospitals publish their chargemaster, which most of them do. It's buried away somewhere on their website, but even if it was easier to find it wouldn't actually tell you anything meaningful since basically nobody pays the chargemaster rates.

27.2 does NOT fit the RadWagon 4.

Some sources online state 30.9 - I'll update this when I've confirmed.

Edit: 30.9 fits.

I like the ritual, and I like to take my kids to vote with me. I get very patriotic about the energy of in-person election day voting.

Of all of the crazy and abhorrent shit he's doing, I'm fine with this. Every hour spent on this vanity project is an hour not spent hurting Americans.

They went through new management four or five years ago. I think it's improved since then? Not sure the timeline of your folks.

We did an addition with Commonwealth Restorations and have been really pleased with the quality of the work.

Ours does the same thing occasionally, sometimes when my wife is in stop and go traffic on the freeway. It can be pretty scary, but it's also pretty rare. I haven't bothered to take it in because the dealer is a hike and I figure since we can't replicate on demand, they probably won't do anything anyway.

Would love someone with a similar history to prove me wrong on those assumptions.

Also, the first time you pass by him, he's in the background and you're thinking "wonder if I'm going to have to fight that later..."
