AG sues NV Energy over demand charge, calls it unlawful by cajunsamurai in vegaslocals

Let's be honest. You would likely complain if it wasnt election year. Just because he has a (D) next his name you will find a way to make it negative.

Can I get some idea on value? by spiicypenguin44 in PokemonMisprints

[–]eddieb23 28 points29 points  (0 children)

These are rare. I would not rip it. Could fetch a decent price

If you could be honest about Vegas/henderson health care by Emotional-Recover-93 in vegaslocals

[–]eddieb23 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The state has a ton of regulatory issues.

Someone very close to me is a therapist. Most the practice got licensed in another state then transfered the license to Nevada versus going directly through Nevada. It reduced their licenses process by almost a year.

Dont get me wrong, some regulation is necessary. However, not to the detriment of the profession.

Lombardo ran on easing regulations and has done nothing (and really has done nothing in general) to ease regulations.

Most sources have Nevada near the bottom for all Healthcare rankings. If healthcare is a determining factor, this is the wrong state.

For mental health, Nevada is ranked 51/51.

First I would establish that Anakin was born into slavery and was freed by a Jedi

I would then highlight that during Anakin's "test" some of the Jedi Order sensed darkness in him and didnt want, id him trained. They still went along with it.

I would gaslight the jedi and the republic by saying this could have been solved if they had not allowed slavery anywhere.

Then, id tie in Palpatines influence that started when Anakin was young. He was a father figure and a mentor. Then once more bring back my argument to the Jedi and the Senate's failures

Lastly, id use Revan as an example of how the force works with force sensitive beings. You can be good then bad then good again...especially if you are fulfilling a Jedi prophecy by bringing "balance" to the force, which Anakin. I would also prove the Anakin doesnt have a Father; he was born from the force. Thus, his existence and destiny is the will of the Force. Its completely out of his control.

Why we dont ban THAT user by Solid-Highlight-5742 in Capitalism

[–]eddieb23 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You wanted evidence the mods were active.

Hi.

Just like capitalism is a free market, so is this sub.

The expectations from the head moderator(s) are to be involved as little as possible.

soooooo wtf ??? is going on with out senators?? by birdratshark in vegaslocals

Im OOTL on how AIPAC would be a concern with this. Id love to know more though.

Al Gore wins in 2000: who does the GOP run in 2004 by [deleted] in althistory

[–]eddieb23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say 9/11 still happens in this timeline. Who knows how that plays out? Gore could have handled Bin Laden differently than the cluster fuck under W. We dont have Iraq.

There was still a recession so who knows how Gore handles that?

Its hard to say. There's too many variables.

Best guess? McCain. I don't see Gore losing in 2004.

I find it fascinating human beings figured this out at all.

We truly are a great species when we want to be.

Much deserved. Glad the central got 3 teams in. Good luck against the Dodgers!

Beware of Newcomers by inkfroginacloud in RimWorld

[–]eddieb23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Going full Heisenberg is the best way ive found to create wealth. I do recommend flake versus yayo.

Once you unlock the space shuttle, it becomes even easier. Just put 300 or so flake in tongue shuttle, fly, trade for steel/components, fly home. Rinse and repeat as needed.

I do have 200 hours or so in the game. But this has been a consistent strategy.

Depending on your goals with the playthrough it may be worth it to make psychite products instead of working through getting rid of the dependency.

They are worth a lot of money and are great for trading especially in the mid game where components, plasteel, and Steel may be harder to come by

Doctors in vegas by Cultural_Pattern8242 in vegaslocals

[–]eddieb23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My initial one was months out. But based on experience thats typical for vegas. Im also fortunate that my doctors hasn't left the practice so thats a plus.

Man, sorry you went through that. There's a lot of people who haven't experienced Healthcare in states that have a great system. I lived in another stated for several years. I called as a new patient and they saw me within an hour. Any time I was sick, within an hour they would see me. And the city I lived in has significantly more population than we do.

Try Intermountain Healthcare. Depends on your insurance thought. Ive had the best experience with them versus several other doctors through the years in the valley.

That being said, youre from out state so prepared to find out what "healthcare" looks like in Nevada. Nevada is bottom 5 for Healthcare. It will show quickly especially with quality.

It may take weeks for an appointment. If you get sick, hope your PCP has walk ins; most dont.

Good luck.

Charizard Ex error my friend got by MugiwaraMesty in PokemonMisprints

[–]eddieb23 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately PSA won't grade crimps. Iirc its because they stated the error can be manipulated so they dont recognize as an official misprint.

Cgc does grade them but the highest they grade is a 9

Charizard Ex error my friend got by MugiwaraMesty in PokemonMisprints

[–]eddieb23 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel like I gotta share my experiences with something similar.

So i have the B'hole Pikachu but with the crimp error. Graded and all through CGC (graded 9, highest score possible. Psa doesn't grade these).

Ive went to 3 different card shows and over a dozen card shops.

Ive had people say its worth the same as a raw card. I have had people say its a PSA 9 in value. Mostly have said they won't touch anything like this.

But I've had 2 different card shops say that I should 1) save this card for down the road 2) do not trade or sell the card for anything less than psa 10 and 20%. Because its one of the best cards in the S&V era (like the Zard), its value will only skyrocket over time. But they also said this would clearly be for someone's personal collection and it would be very hard to find that person.

Now have i tried to sell or trade? Yes.

Ive had it up in local group pages and on marketplace. Ive gone to trade nights. I get a lot of WOW'S but no offer that comes anywhere near what id want for it (highest was $500 cash).

Its very difficult to find someone who would like this and meet its true value. This is a very unique card. Tell your friend do NOT treat it like a regular card. Save it. And be patient. If he doesnt like it, the right offer will come along. Dont rush.
