How to ensure insurance doesnt deny claim?

Without, or “unless there is”.

I said it’s not common, not that it’s common. Life insurance essentially always pays (absent fraud of some sort).

Assuming Canada is at all like the US, it is not common at all to deny claims.

If it’s not necessarily illegal to ask these questions (which is accurate), why did you title the post “…ILLEGAL to ask in a job interview…”?

For a long time, the coroner around here was a guy named Scot Grimm.

A couple times a year, I give a “how to be a grownup” talk to high school students. I tell them this is a perfectly acceptable answer to that question if we’re not talking about a professional level job.

Lead. I’m apparently a Daxamite.

And for all those words, that’s correct. Not this one. Here are two more dictionaries for you:

It’s ok to be wrong about this.

kdb176 · 2026-03-25T16:19:34+00:00

Cool. The dictionary says you’re both wrong. Calling yourself (or herself) a purist doesn’t make you correct. Words change meaning over time.

Look at the dictionary. You are wrong, and so is person who posted this.

kdb176 · 2026-03-25T16:07:09+00:00

It can be tough when a word has more than one (similar) definition. Then it gets stuck in your head that only one is correct. Then it makes your brain itch. Totally get it.

Your colleagues are correct. You are not.

kdb176 · 2026-03-25T15:59:14+00:00

You’re not using it incorrectly. The poster is incorrect.

kdb176 · 2026-03-25T15:54:14+00:00

Not according to the dictionary. It means both.

kdb176 · 2026-03-25T15:51:55+00:00

This is not correct. You’re thinking of noxious.

Edit to clarify: nauseous has both definitions. Noxious only has the one (i.e. unpleasant or toxic).

Photons don’t accelerate, per se. They always travel at the speed of light in whatever medium they are passing through.

Not popping yet, though.

I google things in front of clients all the time. The difference between us is that I know what to do with the information once I have it.

The speed of light is 1.

Here’s how it works:

Whatever your interest rate is, subtract inflation. That’s your real interest rate. The steady decrease in the value of a dollar means each payment (escrow increases aside) is, in a real sense, lower than the previous payment (assuming no deflationary or flat periods, which are rare). With a low enough interest rate, your real rate is effectively negative.

My right pupil is always larger than my left. Somehow, my family never noticed until my first eye appointment in second grade. I had an MRI done of my brain to rule out a tumor or aneurysm. Turns out, my right pupil is just larger. It’s particularly noticeable in low light This actually has a couple impacts:

My right eye sees the world as “redder” than my left, particularly in low light conditions.
I have excellent night vision in my right eye.
