    Is that actually what that term is supposed to mean? I assumed "Trial Lawyer" meant any type of lawyer that went to court (i.e. not like patent lawyers and other ones that spend little time in court - criminal, medical, etc ones that require judgment) - the term is highly ambiguous to me as...

    Most people on drugs have mental problems BEFORE DRUGS - ask any psychiatrist. People that become addicted to drugs (including alcohol) generally are self-treating an already existing condition. You don't seem to understand there's a well known chicken and egg situation with it. Yes, if you...

    Like many here been taking advantage of 2x hardcore myself, 29-44 so far on my main (the cleric) 31-44 on the wife and the ENC. Goal line in sight. Probably will slack at 47 and get levels whenever at that point though.

    CLR/ENC is the combo I went with for boxing (with the wife doing RNG) - I absolutely agree. Was planning CLR main with something else and decided on ENC on a lark, and holy shit is CLR/ENC amazing as hell. And RNG of course adds to it. Amazing trio that I basically "dumb lucked" my way into...

    I definitely think the only drama we'll be seeing is over XP camps - and quite limited thanks to the zone balancing stuff. It's nice being able to wish everyone luck, since them doing well has no influence on you.

    I'm sure they will rally behind it, briefly, if it fails. And then when they see the tide that it was holding back they'll be livid. Seriously, you can quote me on this - if Obamacare ends up going away, without something EFFECTIVE being put in its place rapidly - you will see the end of the...

    I never disputed that its a factor - the degree of factor is in dispute - which comes down 100% to your lack of reading comprehension. You keep either quoting tabloids (that trump up things) and a study that hasn't had a follow up to it yet as if that proves FACT enough to dispute research that...

    They're reporting is "a study has found" not that it's scripture. Learn how to read things properly. If they report tomorrow that Donald Sutherland said "All black people were created on the moon by the Devil to cause trouble to the white man" - that doesn't make anything other than that he...

    Journals publish things, I don't believe they require peer review first (I'm no PhD though, so grain of salt, I could be wrong [Edit: Apparently my thought, although perhaps wrong terminology, was correct - crosspost FTW!]). However, doing a search for autism nature.com shows the discredited...

    Other articles quote 27 (of 118) in the House, that doesn't dispute it - beyond mentioning leadership and voting record in the Senate, which isn't the House - which leadership means nothing when others don't follow. Even lumping both Houses together and assuming the 10 Senators against were D...

    One study, done days ago that is "convincing" but no secondary research has been done yet - at least that one cites what they're talking about though. But plenty of research results come out with a single case that gets flipped once a proper multigroup case study is done. I'm not holding my...

    If you actually read the article itself, it never cites anyone for the 90% source, its just a lead-in title with no meat that verifies it - just makes the claim then quotes the generally accepted 30-40% number. You know, like a tabloid does. Takes a fact like someone saying "rates might even...

    50/50 chance - and as far as my geneticist said the only testing known - when I lost spoke to them in 2013, at least - works with IVF only. (blood test to verify the condition in adults was a recent discovery - like 2009 or something - previously it was just a clinical diagnosis based on...

    Got any links to plans that cover IVF? (And genetic testing if you're aware) I'd love to find one that does if the pricing is reasonable - having a rugrat was something I put off as prohibitively expensive to do thanks to requiring IVF + genetic testing to dodge passing on my condition -...

    "For multiple national elections"? The term "Cadillac Plan" wasn't something even referenced to in any law until THIS UPCOMING ELECTION. (Well that's mostly true, it TECHNICALLY was referenced in law as of the passing of the ACA - but it doesn't do anything until this upcoming year) And if...

    Not all unions get remotely the same health plans. Grocery unions don't get "Cadillac plans" for one, I don't believe teacher's unions do either. Most Federal employee unions get decent health plans, but they're not "Cadillac". (My mother's breast cancer on her Federal plan - $40k in costs [in...
