Can we add dog barking? I used to have a dog that would get so triggered by it. Really unnecessary. I’ve been joking with my husband that it would be nice if shows had an audio track like they do for different languages but just change the sound mixing and remove the common irritants.

Glad you were covered to get back on your feet.

That all sounds quite complex to navigate. Crazy with all the tech and resources that we have available now and these are the systems that were designed.

Having such a reactionary approach is counterproductive, I agree. I know people for who psychiatric care is not optional, they’re doing fine on the right meds though that requires monthly follow ups. That would cost a fortune! Also not covering physical rehabilitation is confusing as it’s pretty much needed after surgery, how are people supposed to regain as much function as possible?

Our health insurance here costs $600 per person per month but then it covers specialists with a $40 copay, includes vision and dental. Basically if you can afford private insurance it’s manageable but that’s a horrible way to design the system since you often loose your insurance if you change jobs.

I miss the French system, it’s not perfect but it was more affordable and teeth were not considered optional. The main inconvenience that I remember were the wait times so you just have to be organized for your routine care and it’s no problem.

Sorry to hear that. I didn’t realize the Australian healthcare system was as bad as the one in the USA. $500 to see a specialist is not ok, especially not for psychiatry when the medical support is literally life changing.

Can you explain how it is a monument to the reestablishment of slavery in Libya?

The mental gymnastics behind this one… The carbon footprint is associated with using the plane, not making it duh! What on earth are we doing?

Many thanks.

Thanks for the info.

Yes, I was hoping for more information than radio glitch…

Was there any information as to what happened?

Dunno that was my first thought too. Not saying definitely, just that it sounds like the kind of disruptive actions they like to take.

I dislike the term in general but some people earn the title fair and square.

:p

I’m enjoying them. If I can get some laughs out of this stupidity at least it’s something.

No thanks, I like being alive :)

You are confusing.

? You’re in political memes.

XD Also be young, don’t let your age define you :)

He only looks like kid mayor because we’re used to octogenarians in charge.

I understand the reasoning but I genuinely doubt this will hold and be applied. Sure, they can ban sales but there will be many bringing their own beverages.
