    I'm curious then, why single payer would be a worse choice? In what regards? Those in countries with single-payer systems seem to love them. Survey after survey shows this (ask any of the candians or brits on the board). Administrative costs and per capita healthcare costs are lower in those...

    a) I know what the MF in IMF stands for. b) So...single payer for you too? c) You seem to be confusing those who amass wealth with those who "create" it.

    Not sure what that was in response to, but a) most scientists, even hardcore anti-theists accept the possibility of a "god", they just don't accept that "he" sent his son down to die for our sins 4000 years after the earth/universe (I think the bible considers this the same) was created, or that...

    I'd love to see the empirical evidence on this. Are you saying that in the past four years, decline in reproduction (if it did decline any significant amount past what has historically been seen) is due to the ACA? I just don't see it.

    Decided to post this here for any NDT fans. Slo-Mod (or "stoned") NDT speaking about Isaac Newton. He showed this video to a lecture audience of his, and, in true Physicist form, calculated that this is what it would look like to observers if they were travelling at 85% the speed of light...

    I was just pointing out that there do seem to be some identifying numbers to differentiate policies. I think my policy or group number has a Letter in front of the number part of it which identifies it as purchased through the exchange. My policy sucks already and I have to drive 40min to...

    I think Humana identifies plans purchased through exchanges in their policy #/group#, which is right on the card. When I called the doctor and gave her the info, the appointment setter right away said "you enrolled on the exchange".

    I'm starting to enjoy the over-the-top blindness some of the "normal" characters display. They keep topping themselves. I'd like to see the Halloween special where Ollie dresses up as Arrow and Sara as Canary and no one thinks twice.

    Also, discovery of planets is generally very hard. I mean, the first extrasolar planet was only found in 1991. Generally speaking, the solar system has to be on the same plane as our view of it for us to detect planets around it. One method which iirc is responsible for the most planets being...

    Hey Keto folks, are there any "a la carte" Keto diet/workout plans out there, preferably from some sort of professional like a dr/dietician who has used it on a large(y) group of people? I surprisingly did not find any - maybe I'm not using the right keywords. One thing about the traditional...
