I'm not sure that it makes that much of a difference, the city doesn't seem to care who reads the letter or who pays the fine but it does affect how much I fight it and what I can do to get around it.

A decent sized city in the south east, its a common complaint around here but other people have done more to fight it. Since I don't own I haven't really pushed it but if I did I think I would. My guess is that it all has to do wi

It frustrates me that even though I am not in a HOA area, I cannot do this without getting letters from the city and fines. They will come mow my lawn for me and then charge me if I don't keep them mowed. Even my back yard which is a

I agree, I think that ER's work more or less like that now (not necessarily the rest of the hospital), I'm concerned for the future this not always being the case. I think as the governments become more starved (not made more effi

It sounds like they've taken on too many patients or their patients come in very often.

I think the idea being that generally, two people going to the same ER one being broke and the other being loaded are going to get a similar level of emergency care. Long term maybe not but you aren't going to get the bronze plan of gu

Most urgent care facilities around me are only open till 8 or 9 - good enough for things that happened while you were at work but couldn't get to your GP for but the world doesn't stop after that. The few times I've been to u

I'm also curious about that, the only reason I can think would have to do with an incomplete reaction because of the size of the batch although that would mean the ability to mix a batch of X depended on the amount and I don't kno

No actually I expected those were more than likely correct or at least supportable, I was being snide because the parent poster was being an ass about simple analogy. >On average? You going to measure that in a lab and show me your margi

Cool, thats about what I expected but I wanted to make sure before I put much time into an argument. Good to see you aren't a hypocrite and provide sources for your highly specific claims as well.

Do you disagree that being white, on average, causes one to be less exposed to racism? I don't think that is a particularly radical concept. I also think that being a male, on average, causes one to be less directly exposed to cat-call

One of the things I try to do when approached by someone who is homeless (or I think is homeless) is not to treat it like some kind of transaction where they need something and I may or may not give it to them even though that is usually ho

I'm not disagreeing about efficiencies, I'm saying the way to do it is actually do the work rather than simply slash the funding and assume that the correct efficiencies will be implemented. I think that is what is irresponsible

If you are concerned that your engine doesn't run efficiently, simply cutting the fuel to it doesn't actually fix any problems. The government is a huge entity that does some very important things and wastes a lot of money (some o

This is why the "We're a nation of laws"[0] statements (from many individuals) referring to DACA recipients and illegal immigrants concerns me, there is no way that law enforcement has the resources to simultaneously prosecut

I think we would still be getting these hurricanes because a) they are likely strengthened by the temperature changes but not created and b) neither of those protocols would have actually affected the temperature by any significant amount b

Who is making you feel guilty? What choice do you really have? I'm vocal on this issue with people that I am around but I've never tried to place the blame on them (except for when they support candidates that refuse to take actio

But those are not the arguments that are being made by those in a position make decisions related to energy and climate. The US president denies climate change, along with much of his cabinet and his EPA head, and most republicans in congre

This may be true but the health costs are shifted to the consumer, government and health providers. If health damages were factored into the costs of producing energy or as overhead that the fossil fuel industry had to eat, they would have

Somewhat related if you are interested to see what could have happened had the samples gone supercritical [1]. Its eerie to read about, it sounds like science fiction and its terrifying to think some of the smartest people in the world made

He says a lot of the guys at the VA that he talks to say similar stuff, like no matter what bad things came out of it it was the most exciting time of their lives and in a lot of cases they wouldn't change it, even if they have regrets

I've considered that as well, I feel like my choice of education/career (cs/developer) could end up shoehorning me into some kind of infrastructure/IT/tech related roles but at the same time, do what you are good at

Except when people lack empathy, they call it political correctness. My problem is I have not found a good way to teach empathy to someone who is lacking it, repeating someone elses story doesn't work and its hard to get other people
