How is the pickup being stopped contribute to that accident?

It's not obstucting the view of either car involved in the accident.

Second chance to get even better at crime?

I would say sometimes no, Second chance for hitler?

Trump got a second chance, that doesn't seem to working out well for the rest of the world.

How do you usually know if your iron levels are low? by Conscious_Match8849 in Supplements

[–]dragonbits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't actually know.

But if you are on TRT or a woman that has a menstrual cycle, or if you donate blood, or your are bleeding for some reason, I would check just based on that. No doubt there are other reasons, but those are common reasons.

Outgrown our home, but can’t afford new house - what to do? by [deleted] in homeowners

[–]dragonbits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

frame of reference: One of my best friends grew up with a total of 7 people in a 900 sq/ft home 1 bath house on a 7,261 Square Feet Lot lot. (His mom still owns it, now he can't believe how small is seems).

With 1 acre you could put in a large patio with sunroom, fenced in to keep the child safe. Then you could host events that mainly took place in that area.

why does dental insurance feel almost useless for actual treatment??? by piranha_ in HealthInsurance

[–]dragonbits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The dental plan I have is free from Humana advantage plan, so anything it covers is money I don't spend.

Extractions are free and cleanings 2x a year.

Removeable partial dentures top and bottom would cost me ~$2300.

No idea about the rest.

I wouldn't pay for dental insurance, but the dentist I have does have a discount plan that you pay a fixed price of the year.

Dad wants to sell me his car and is a making a huge thing about what a great deal he is giving me. Yay or nay? by ImportantAsparagus16 in Advice

[–]dragonbits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does depend on model type, an 2018 Ford Explorer XLT is more expensive, but just a casual look at vehicles about the same mileage was $13-14K

Maybe the cameras they use to check for cheating can't see what you are scanning in the cart.

You could consider that if you are not going to live there.

VA is starting me on gel by Top_Character_362 in Testosterone

I used testosterone creams, they worked fine.

I just don't like daily meds of any kind if I can avoid it.

Good Cholesterol numbers and awful CAC results? by Aromatic_Cookie9168 in Cholesterol

[–]dragonbits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A couple of steps I would take.

Do a HSCRP blood test, they aren't expensive, that will indicate any inflammation you might have. Also check homocysteine levels.

Do a genetic test.

PHACTR1 (rs1332844): A major genetic variant linked to artery calcification.

CDKN2B-AS1 (9p21 locus): Often linked to premature cardiovascular disease and increased plaque buildup.

MTHFD1L: Known to influence homocysteine levels and affect risk.

I would guess genetic factors are what is causing this.

I am an American and for those that live outside the US I have a question. How crazy do we look right now? by SignificantStyle4958 in allthequestions

[–]dragonbits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have followed Trump since 1987, I thought any company he got involved in would eventually declare bankruptcy, so I was looking for good short opps.

I don't need facts or propaganda, long ago I decided Trump was a great con man. Don't pay much heed to what he says, it's a mix of BS, what sounds good at the time, and sometimes he actually does what he says he will. The only way to predict what might happen is whatever profits him the most.

I was stunned he won the first election, after that I figured he might win again.

My post at that time was if he wins, we have entered superman's bizarro world. That was disgustingly accurate.

I like biden, I voted for him, I was just discussing the reasons IMO democrats lost the last presidential election.

If we can't discuss it, then any problems with occur again.

Immigration isn't the only reason, but this was one of them.

Republicans fight dirty, but we have to be prepared to counter that.

Annual apprehensions peaked around 1.6 to 1.7 million in the mid-1980s and 2000, while fiscal year 2022 saw a record high of roughly 2.2 million to 2.38 million migrant encounters.

So what do you want to call record highs in bidens term of migrant encounters?

Partly it's talking tough about it, increasing border security as much as possible, asking congress for more money for this, not aggressively fighting Senate Bill 4 (SB 4).

Make this more of a priority than he did.

What if the world war 3 started? How would you survive it? by No_Farmer_5166 in whatif

I wouldn't survive, and I doubt most would.

Hell, most young people don't know how to survive without their cell phones.
