One of them told me that they learned that the price you pay a hospital is paid by insurance and that the price you actually pay is a lot lower. So they're not bothered. Like, seriously.

lol, it's not just the quote that gets me with the "headache with pictures" ... it's Leela saying something like, "you mean an idea?"

and then Fry with the weird nod reply

Wait Christini Ricci is in this? She was like one of my childhood crushes. Definitely gonna check it out.

I think I avoided it earlier because I didn't know what to expect from the movie. It was the Wachowskis and I was like, I don't want to ruin the Matrix pedestal I put them on. I think my friend said to me, "dude it's just speedracer, you shouldn't be having that high of expectations".

When I think about my past actions? You mean like the hundreds of times every day? Yeah ... 😭

I always think back to this one:

Leela: "that guy's turning this place into some sort of 'business'"

Professor: "this isn't a business, I've always thought of it more as a source of cheap labor ... like a family"

I don't know why I like it so much. I could see the punchline coming but how the exchange got there makes me smile every time.

I didn't know I had this many walking amongst me. Of the ones I've spoken with they seem to share these values:

They seem to hate that Ontario is forcing "gays" on kids at such a young age. I'm assuming my friend meant teaching about accepting people from different backgrounds, as I don't think sex education applied to the age range he was referring.

They think they're being taxed too highly (that's fine).

They think US Healthcare woes are exaggerated. One said that you don't really pay that fee, it's a different fee and it's not that much. Another said: I don't go to the hospital that often.

They think life will be better in the States with all the untaxed dollars they'll have.

(I will reiterate that these are just the ones that I've spoken with) I'm just wondering why they don't just move there. If you hate being Canadian so much start the process of emigration ...

His inability to answer the questions is infuriating.

They display the product’s energy efficiency rating, on a scale from A to G, along with battery life, the number of charge cycles the battery is rated for, letter grades for durability and repairability, and any applicable IP rating for protection from dust and water.

It looks like individual scores for the battery and repairability. The battery score seems to be just charge cycles. Repairability would probably something similar to iFixit but we'll have to see. I do like this though or at least the attempt of it.

Alongside the labels the EU is introducing “ecodesign requirements” imposing minimum standards on the same products. Those include protection from splashes of water (and dust particles larger than 1mm for phones), scratch and drop protection, batteries that retain at least 80 percent of their capacity after 800 charging cycles, and making “critical spare parts” available within 5-10 working days.

some of them they cut the end of the wing out and they use pliers or something to pull out the bones

I think XKCD is a good example of this.

Imagine if it was the Dems and it was a woman. You'd hear about this for months.

Yes! That's what confuses me. I'm voting Liberal because there's no real proportional representation (yet 🤞) and we need to keep Pierre out of office.

However, when I speak to Conservative voters and I ask them why ... they're describing the NDP platform and I'm so confused.

Gary, a working class kid became a successful trader is now pointing out wealth inequality and trying to get people to save us from the super rich.

 

Just let your wealth compound over time and you'll be a millionaire, the advice goes. If this is true why aren't more people rich?UNDERSTAND, SHARE & PUSH BACK

 

I don't know if this video has any solid evidence or earth shattering message in there.

I personally found it nice and I like the overall message despite the background of the world we're living in being sad.

 

Yes! A new ONN video and it's great!
