    The Last of Us

    Thankfully my schedule is completely (and I mean COMPLETELY) FUBAR right now - just bought a new memory foam mattress for the wife and I (since we kept waking up with aches and pains her with surgery me with random back stuff). And ended up sleeping until about 20 min ago today (good to have a...

    What provider you have do it or the location out of the available ones is a symptom of only SOME insurances (HMOs generally). I personally can go to any provider I want to in the nation for almost any condition, with a handful of cases needing a referral, and even then referrals not being for...

    Choices have expanded slightly with theACA. But short of removing health care law and liability which would have some serious ramifications it's not getting much more under people's control assuming affordability is a concern. (if price is no object, your ideal has been met before and after ACA...

    Yea, why my original post was just "its only one of four possible endings anyhow" - but even if they'd pick it, not a slam dunk he'd live to me because of the tech issues.

    Definitely find an exchange plan - unless you're making $90k+ you'll no doubt get subsidized even if the initial rate is similar. (And it's probably much less of a base rate) COBRA doesn't apply to the ACA rules at all, so has no subsidy or any other assistance. And if you didn't move and...

    Even if it does mean he did and keep in mind how bad he sounds and all tech on the planet is completely fucked in that ending - so presumably that includes medical tech - and included being ejected forcefully from the Citadel there somehow - yea, Shep's a badass but he's survived thanks to tech...

    Again, unless Texas has some weird laws that override it - COBRA mandates that your employer cover you for something like 45 days after you stop working with notices the entire time at no cost to you. (I might be off in the timeframe, but there is a lapse time - god knows I had to read it off to...

    I guarantee once you find the new policy and stick with it you'll be paying a fraction of what you were before - average high risk pool before and after was between a half and a third as much - and last time I checked on meeting a deductible that's supposed to carry over between providers to...

    High risk pools have existed for a long, long time - you just didn't get "detected" for them to throw you into it - I've had this condition (congenital) from the day of my birth, but only got reported and PEC'ed/high risked around age 28 or so. My mother (who shares my condition) was high...

    And although ME1 was quite empty on the worlds - it was an "open world". If this goes back to ME1 style "open world" with less emptiness and a Mako that actually can navigate properly, it could be a really good thing. (And no guns on the Mako this time so all combat will no doubt be balanced...

    States don't set the rates unless there's something bizarre unique to your state that's got nothing to do with the ACA. I can look at quotes here in Maryland and get dozens of different rates even within the same tier policies that at a quick glance seem identical. What state are you in? One...

    COBRA has always been terrible like that Borzak - my BC/BS through Excellus was around $2200/mo back in 2007, so with how rates have been inflating that sounds like it's right on mark with my plan that I'd had. And Diabetes IS high risk when it comes to insurance, sorry to tell you...

    Walled I could see them adjusting, yea - but rest of the shooter mechanics no way. And on it being "walled" being that it's Frostbite 3, I think that's already a given that they're going away from that. (See DA:I)

    Interesting Ked - I'd say about the same in "screen on" time that involves gaming (non-gaming about double that though) - but LTE doesn't give me a substantial hit at all.

    That seems about normal for low screen on time - see earlier Vvoid quoting like 4 days with low screen on time.

    Dude, read some of the articles - it's not the same people - it's four different groups of which two are "supporters of the concept" some that are happy with the current version and some that are not. Analog "Yes or No" situations give a false positive on the unhappy with current version but...

    The problem is what do the people want instead - you're trying to paint it as "59% of people want Obamacare gone" which isn't accurate, most want it but with some fixes.

    You're both right depending on what you're going for - the majority of people support the ACA being TWEAKED INTO SOMETHING BETTER (i.e. they like it as a whole but have a few problems with it) - but most people don't think it's perfect as it stands. That's the reason the "should the ACA be...
