    So instead of making changes within the parameters set, they opt to conform to the new AMA. Which tells me the AMA standards are more cost beneficial to the insurance companies than the supposed terrible plans that rape the consumer. But you're right, no need to parse. It was changed, and...

    Nothing in the linked article refutes what you quoted. It gives a list of "regulations that narrowed that provision, by saying that if any part of a policy was significantly changed since that date -- the deductible, co-pay, or benefits, for example -- the policy would not be grandfathered."...

    So the plan was designed to kill all these grandfathered plans quickly. The pitch is that yeah now you will pay more, but you GET more coverage! Which, you might not need or want.

    None of which was ever in the sales pitch for some reason. It was sold on reducing costs and "you can keep your plan if you like it". Now suddenly you wake up and find out it's a shit plan because it might not cover mental health or some other additions a person might not want. By the way...

    This is why I dont care much about the website nonsense. Beyond the fact that it was almost inevitable that they fucked it up, and how it might impact the suckers... young healthy people... signing up to pay for others. I dont think I mind that my rates are going to go "through the roof", it's...

    It's fun to test yourself. A lot of programs base numbers off your 1RM or "training max" as well. So 8 reps at 75% of your 1RM for example. I dont think it's particularly dangerous if you're smart about it. Learn to bail on a squat or use a cage. Spotter or roll of shame for bench. DL is...

    So what's the story if they dont fix this website, which seems to be how it's going to go until at least late November. Will they just delay the mandate and subsidize what they lost? I'm guessing it's still all a matter of having enough young healthy people sign on to pay for everyone else.

    I think it's clear she's trying to be a positive influence. I'm sure she's very proud of her accomplishments (how awful!) but I have no reason to believe she doesnt sincerely want other people to get the same results. The "I have bad genes" and "I have kids" excuses are common, it's not...

    Breaking Bad

    Walt is also shown to be impulsive and emotional, he is definitively NOT analytical when for instance, he kills Mike. In the case of Jesse he does not distort facts but is ready to act on limited information: there is still high quality blue meth being produced... so Jesse is cooking it... so...

    Breaking Bad

    Walt lies and distorts all the time to suit his needs. To Jesse about who poisoned Brock, what happened to Mike, to Skyler and his extended family constantly. Even up until minutes before the end of the show he was acting under the impression that Jesse was cooking for the Nazis as a partner...

    Breaking Bad

    Yes that he knew beforehand. He figured it out when he saw Skinny Pete and Badger. No that he went there to save him, he was going to kill him until it was shown how miserably he'd been treated. Jesse wasnt his enemy stealing his glory, just a victim. Great ending I thought all around...

    Yeah I think it was pretty clearly stated to let Walt know someone is cooking at "Heisenberg levels" as Lydia put it. I think he knows what's up. So he'll soon see that not only did the Nazis steal most of his money, they are forcing Jesse to continue to cook. Things are moving along fine...

    Find food you like that is not horrible for you. I see people who feel they need to eat dry grilled chicken with plain broccoli to "eat right", or some protein shake or energy bar. Eat normal food, it's good. Steak, roasted chicken, pork chop, eggs, any fish, shrimp, crab, lobster, turkey...

    Dexter

    Yeah seemed ripe for a reboot. I would say one of the best parts of Dexter was that he had to fake it. His reality as a sociopath with no emotion and the inner monologues he had when he was with Rita or whoever... saying she loved him or telling him some emotional nonsense. It was great to...

    I still get a feeling that Walt is going to weaponize the Ricin somehow. Meaning not put it in someones food or take it himself, but some cool Heisenberg chemistry trick to make in an aerosol that takes out a room full of people.

    "I came here to kill you with that pen" Wow. And then the big bad Dexter rival stabs him... in the shoulder. It's really sad how bad that was :/ The only positive I took away was how calm he was and then the fake emotion "He tried to kill me!". I always loved that he had to fake emotions...

    Prediction: Walt uses his infamy to his advantage. He makes another video detailing his confession, plans to kill the Nazis as revenge for Hanks death and, by the way, contributions to Grey Matter. He uses the Ricin in conjunction with the M60 somehow. Coating the bullets or somehow...

    Consensus among my single friends is also OK Cupid. That and POF. If you hit a dry spell either lower your standards or, if you have a few bucks, pay to date a hot girl to get back on track. One dude in particular has not only bagged but dated a few people from the sites like...

    I hope things work out dude. I would say to wait, but in any event take the next 6 months to think about it and do what you think is best. Given the circumstances I'd say be sure to take it slowly. By which I mean, if you do get hitched, dont have kids right away and dont go in on a 30 year...
