I don't see things changing without a coordinated strike and deaths from lack of care. I also don't think most healthcare workers are up for that.

Cop discounts are more about ensuring frequent patrols than anything altruistic.

Games workshop would then have to use both of them. Space marines pre-date both of them.

  1. Kids. Being married before you have kids is huge in some states and important in many. In my state unmarried father's have no rights to children even if they sign the birth certificate. Sure you can adopt, but that's far more expensive than a marriage certificate.

  2. Protection in the case of breakup or divorce. You have rights to shared property in a divorce, you have no rights to anything you didn't buy or put in your name otherwise. You can sort of solve this with making a partnership and putting all assets into it, but it's not quite the same and far more complicated. Also if you aren't the breadwinner, there isn't really a way to ensure spousal support without a marriage.

  3. Legal protections. You can't be compelled to testify against a spouse. While you can do things like medical power of attorney, you don't get it by default like marriage, which means you either need that document on hand at all times or in an emergency situation you could be prevented access or decision making authority until you provide documentation. There's also social security, you can draw on a spouse, but there isn't an equivalent, same for pensions that offer survivor benefits.

  4. Insurance benefits from employers generally require you to be married.

Browns are in cap hell, a QB with upside for basically free is a decent pick in the 5th.

The injury really hurt him, but he's not at the level of top prospects. He could be a good backup though if he gets healthy.

It's largely a problem with misusing specialty doctors and emergency rooms. There needs to be a decade long focus on more family medicine doctors and improving their workload and pay.

ER and urgent care doctors are trained in acute care and trauma. They aren't trained or meant to handle chronic disease or preventative care, they are meant to handle after the bad thing happens.

I think being coached by his dad really hurt him.

This largely works to explain it. I would assume an install package is a simplified set of plays and theories for a player to read and understand. Sanders didn't understand the package or wasn't prepared for talking about it.

Fixing the level system so you aren't punished for using major skills regularly is a really good change to the system. Managing a spreadsheet to level efficiently was always a huge negative.

It makes sense for things to level in an open world game where someone could encounter an area at level 1 or 10. In order to provide a reasonable challenge for the player coming to that area. What oblivion did wrong is it was far too global and there weren't sensible caps and floors on areas.

 

Old time YouTube with old time memes

 

Pre YouTube, but still a great classic.

 

Something needs to be done after the garbage first round of playoffs.

  • No automatic bye for conference champions seems good.

This article stops short of saying the Big12 and ACC should only get one team in, but I'd support that until proven they aren't week conferences.

Strength of schedule needs to be a bigger factor, an 11-1 Indiana never deserved a spot. My ideal default would be 6 SEC, 3 Big10, and the other automatic qualifiers.

 

Now is a great time for if I were there hypotheticals, so here's mine.

Once it was decided to run Harris and push Biden out, they should have gone all the way and used the 25th amendment to let Harris become president. This would have effectively separated her from Biden while still allowing her to take credit for the good stuff. She could have instructed the DOJ to start investigating price gouging now, and campaigned on needing to win to keep it up.

The 100ish days wouldn't have been enough for wholesale replacement, but it could have created a concrete message of this is where I want to go. A campaign focused on already delivering is a positive message people could get behind as well.

 

With Tyrek Hill being detained less than 4 months after the arrest of Scottie Scheffler, have the police actually angered enough people with money and power that there could be actual consequences?

 

Play for free until Feb 12.

 

Harbaugh is looking at a 4 game suspension for lying to NCAA investigation. Ultimately meaningless because the first 4 games aren't against anyone competitive. This could be an excuse to not extend his contract that expires after this season.

 

What is everyone's predictions for the coming season? The hype is as an all time high for the Lions, is anyone buying it?

Vegas has the Lions at 9.5 wins, I think it's totally possible that they can hit the over. I'm buying the hype and think that this year it's the Lions division to lose. Superbowl is probably not happening, but 1-2 playoff wins could happen.
