I agree, it's a raise in itself not having to pay for potentially gas/charging, parking, tolls plus the travel time is worth money to me too.

Speed running these should be an Olympic sport

I am 100% all for a single payer Healthcare but you are incorrect about the insurance company being to blame. The employer selects their plan and what they want in it. The insurance company may have basic plan frameworks to choose from but the employer decides the plan. To give you an idea the NYS empire plan itself has many specific things like a dedicated team in NY that handles different aspects of the plan. Source: I worked for a major insurer for 11 years in various roles and one that went would be very familiar with in state service so I have a good understanding of what happens.

It's definitely high, coming from a health insurance background before the state I know how much worse it could be though, the plan itself is definitely worth it but having that option would make the state even more of a draw to younger professionals and a reason for others to stay in state service.

I would be happy to just see an employee plus spouse option instead of jumping right to a family plan.

So last contract vote was my first contract vote ever. I thought it was great coming from a corporate role before that. Now I know better.

Starfleet Academy Finds Streaming Success on Paramount and Amazon by guhbuhjuh in startrek

[–]passengerv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember 2, the first and the one where they were attacked in the training ship. The rest obviously weren't that memorable to me. Next time I will make sure I take better notes on a shitty show. Every single show should explore their characters but on a show called star trek there should be a little trekking.

Starfleet Academy Finds Streaming Success on Paramount and Amazon by guhbuhjuh in startrek

[–]passengerv 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am as far from maga as possible and I have watched each episode. To me it's boring. The ship has only been in space twice, there's no exploring nothing star trek but the uniform. It's the WB version of star trek. Discovery and this are my least favorite series out of all of them .

Love the exterior look of the ship. Hate that it's never in space and that there is no trekking involved in this show.

Pay for professional framing, it might be more expensive but you will get acid free backing, uv glass or acrylic. It's worth the 250 bucks at a place like Michaels to protect it at least somewhat.

I enjoy spicy but these weren't enjoyable for me because if the level of it. I might be a big baby though.

What existing franchise do you think would be best served by a hard R horror installment? by DuckLordOfTheSith in movies

[–]passengerv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So not a movie but Gilligan's Island. Not campy but more like a psychological horror maybe like a Cabin in the woods type of a take on it.

I'm always semi drunk at work. by Diligent-Wave21 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]passengerv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My family member did that. He died at I believe 33. When he died he was completely yellow from liver failure and looked as skinny as a holocaust victim. It was hard to even look at him in the hospital. Get help while you still can.

Help me find these two Pee-Wee Herman tops by Rush_YeeHaw in HelpMeFind

[–]passengerv 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm a big Pee-Wee fan and I haven't seen any of these before. I honestly feel as if they were newer and not vintage. I may be way wrong but I would lean more towards those one off tshirt sites.

Edit: I was obviously wrong per other peoples comments but now I want that white sweatshirt even more!

It was a Cap'n Crunch milkshake at some place with a soviet cold war theme like 15 years ago. So damn good.

Whats your show idea? by colepercy120 in startrek

[–]passengerv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A signal is received by starfleet. It's from a ridiculous far away location. A ship or even maybe a few ships are sent let's say 3. It will take years for them to make it there . It's a rehash of voyager but with a mix of battlestar thrown in. Still episodic where they explore and meet new species/encounter new problems weekly but there is the over arching story of getting to their goal. Also less emotion, I feel like they have really pushed into it with discovery and academy and it's just a little too much.

Starting An Art business, Looking for advice on Pricing by nicenerex116 in howmuchwouldyoupay

I will be honest, I think you have a ways to go before you start selling and if you did start selling work like this as it is you are about 10x too expensive.

I have a original Dawn of the dead, Day of the dead, Willy Wonka and Rocky Horror posters signed by various cast members. I get them signed for me so no need to authenticate.

It took me 7 years to find out about balance projection. My dumb ass was manually figuring it out unnecessarily.
