The only way that would be possible would be if he was close and was able to swing a few key counties with fake electors. If he fumbles the bid bad enough that it's a landslide, there's no way he'll be able to get enough fake electors in place to do any damage.

He's not the president so he can't even rely on people storming the capitol, cause Biden would just send in the troops the second there was a threat.

Also, with Harris as the VP, she'll have no problem certifying herself.

You can only list one home as your permanent residence.

There's a huge difference between the low end LeCreuset and the high end ones.

I don't even understand why they make the cheap stuff, the ceramic just flakes off and it's garbage. The high end $$$$$ stuff lasts forever tho.

Just needed one more season. Or cut the last episode 5 minutes sooner.

Maybe they shouldn't have 6,000 versions of the same thing under different fake brands sold by fake companies.

Clean that up and the rest becomes a hell of a lot easier.

Ok, telling people to open a command line and TYPE firefox -P is HARD. In chrome you just click the icon in the upper right and select whatever profile you want.

It makes no sense that you have to either open about:profiles then select "launch in new window" or open the command line to start a new profile, makes NO sense at all.

You can open a firefox private window with a keyboard shortcut, but if you want to be logged into two different accounts in two different profiles, you have to go through a minimum of three non-intuitive steps.

Even the extension that adds the profile switching doesn't work anymore because it's not maintained.

Probably wearing shoes and sitting on their feet.

I use multiple profiles in chrome for my different logged in usages, for some reason Firefox makes it hard to switch profiles.

I don't have a solution, but saying that prices can only go up 3% a year (or whatever number they pick) will guarantee that prices go up exactly 3% every year.

It probably isn't the only fix, but they need to look into anti-trust issues with grocery stores and food suppliers buying up their competition.

I used to vote for the Democratic candidate.

I still vote for the Democrats, but I used to too.

I'm going to fill in that Harris/Walz bubble so hard he's going to feel it.

He's going to lose, and I'm going to enjoy being a part of making it happen.

There are a lot of reasons, but all of the NATO countries that were supplying Ukraine put very tight restrictions on how that equipment could be used. For example, none of the aircraft or artillery were allowed to be fired into Russia for fear of a nuclear escalation.

They've been slowly relaxing that restriction and it gave Ukraine more freedom to run the campaign as they see fit

Not always. There's still a max annual out of pocket expense, which is what is covered by the FSA. A single event, or an illness or accident that only requires care for a single year or two, regardless of how expensive, would not deplete the FSA. It's only a chronic condition that requires hitting the max out of pocket for multiple consecutive years that would start to deplete that buffer.

That's all assuming that I can continue to work, and don't have any other non-medical expenses during the recovery.

I know multiple small business owners who also have a regular corporate job JUST so they have insurance. The whole second job has nothing to do with salary, only health insurance.

Also, to be completely clear, I still hope that we end up with system that is much closer to the NHS. While the current system benefits me individually, I would much prefer a system that benefits EVERYONE, and I think it's a disgrace that the US continues to have the system it does.

The only people it benefits are Insurance bigwigs and large employers that use the system to trap workers.

Do you have an original source on that? IWantToBelieve

Going to make another post here, because I want to explain that American's aren't entirely irrational with our health care.

I spent time in the UK and the US, and I have to say that FOR ME, my personal, EXTREMELY privileged situation - The US healthcare system is better than the UK NHS. I say this knowing that if I lose my job, or I get a major illness, that could quickly change.

I pay a reasonable percentage of my paycheck for health insurance. I live in a mid sized town, in reasonable driving distance to several major cities, and the company I work is the single largest employer in the area, which means every doctor in this area is "in network" and I don't have to do any extra paperwork for medical billing.

If I need an MRI for a sports injury, I can get it within a day or two. If I need a CT scan because something unusual comes up on a test, I can get it the same day. If I need surgery for just about any injury, it'll be done within the week. If I need to talk to an expert, I can drive about 2 hours and get an appointment probably within a month (or less if it is an emergency.)

I will pay $0 additional out of pocket for any of the above.... AGAIN, ASSUMING MY SITUATION DOES NOT CHANGE.

My employer, who spends quite a bit on this insurance, very much enjoys this setup. They are the reason that I have this insurance, and I will lose it if I quit.

It's understandable, the people I work with get them mixed up all the time.

The nice thing about an FSA is that I don't pay any extra for it. The bad thing is that if I cancel insurance with this company, or change jobs, I lose that built up money and need to start over.

An HSA stays with me, but it requires extra deposits, and more work on the back end to get reimbursed for expenses.

As part of our employment, our employer has negotiated that we pay $400 a month for my family to have insurance under these terms.

If I had a different employer, those terms could be wildly different. I would have no choice.

It is EXTREMELY complicated, and extremely different for everyone in the country, and depends heavily on how your employer sets up the benefits. This is a major benefit for large corporations, and a major burden for smaller businesses.

If you buy insurance through the private market, it is usually far more expensive, but often subsidized by the government, since you often only buy from the market if you are unemployed or low income.
