When I tried to ballpark it looking at my starships poster they seemed like they might be about the same. But you could be right, the Breen Dreadnaught could be certainly be the bigger ship.
The scenes in the isolation chamber in underwear applying gel to each other were totally unnecessary
I thought so at the time but later realized that was a key scene of the whole entire show. You missed a lot of the nuance. That was where T'pol developed her crush on Trip. Her crush on Trip was the only reason she became the first Vulcan to be able to stay aboard a human ship for longer than a few weeks. And T'pol's presence on the ship advising Archer was what made Archer so successful in laying the groundwork of the entire federation.
According to findings published Thursday morning by Emerson College Polling and Nexstar Media, the Republican incumbent is locked in a statistical tie with two Democratic challengers. Pollsters asked a group of 1,315 registered Texas voters during the period of Jan. 13-15 who they would support if Cruz ultimately faced either...
I told a pollster I was 100% definitely voting for Colin Allred (my congressmen) in the primary. Three days later I saw Gutierrez on the news being interviewed and was so impressed I decided I will vote for him. Of course both of those guys are 1000x better than Turd Cruds.
Most people take a simple view of cash: they have a checking account for spending and a savings account for savings, and if they get fancy, they’ll have a CD for longer term savings goals. Power users will change to an online bank with better returns, and that’s about as far as it goes. That certainly works, but we can do a...
[SIPC instead of FDIC insurance - coverage is about the same]
You left out one detail. Technically if you have $100,000 in Money Fund A it means you hold 100,000 shares that are priced at $1 each. SIPC will protect you from losing your 100,000 shares but cannot protect you if the value of each share falls below $1. This is unlikely to happen, but is legally possible. There were some scares about this happening in 2008.
If you want to be rock solid safe you could choose a money market fund that is backed 100% by US treasuries, but you would earn less interest.
[“In recent days, the New York Times/Siena College poll has gotten non-stop attention to the exclusion of nearly every other poll. But if you zoom out, you’ll see a more complete picture. There have been eight polls in the past three weeks showing President Biden leading or tied with Donald Trump,” Tyler said.]
He didn’t facilitate anything. Muslim Egypt could have allowed all civilians to leave Gaza but they didn’t. Muslim Turkey could have evacuated Palestine’s civilians by sea but they didn’t. Muslim Gazans could have overthrown Hamas but they didn’t. The main victims of Hamas are Muslim Palestinians. Only a fool would live anywhere that is controlled by Hamas.
And did you not know that there are plenty of Christians and non Arabs in Palestine too? No self respecting human being cares care only about 1 particular religion or 1 particular ethnic group. Do you know how ridiculous it is that Jews and Muslim are fighting each other because they have different imaginary friends? It will keep on happening forever until you rise above religion and value all of humanity.
[The takeover this week of the Gaza Strip by the Hamas militant group dedicated to the elimination of Israel demonstrates how much that vision has failed to materialize, in part because of actions taken by the administration. The United States championed Israel’s departure from the Gaza Strip as a first step toward peace and then pressed both Israelis and Palestinians to schedule legislative elections, which Hamas unexpectedly won. Now Hamas is the unchallenged power in Gaza.]
Everyone knew Bush was incompetent at his job. Look at how many huge fuckups the guy had.
Bush Fuckup #1: Letting Bin Laden escape from Tora Bora instead of ordering the thousands of nearby US troops to go get him.
Bush Fuckup #2: Ignoring the many CIA warnings about 9/11 before 9/11
Bush Fuckup #3: Being the last person in the country to understand how bad the flooding in New Orleans was.
Bush Fuckup #4:Tanking the stock market and the US economy in his last year in office.
Bush Fuckup #5 Wasting hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars in government bailouts because he tanked the economy.
I bet if Dems started voting for Liz Cheney (after private negotiations with her), they could get at least 5 GOP members to go along. And just like that, Cheney would be the new Speaker of the House and Convicted Rapist Treason Trump would be fucked.
[“When I first enrolled in Medicare, I selected a Medicare Advantage plan because it seemed less expensive than traditional Medicare,” Richard Timmins of Freeland, Wash., said in an email. “It was only when I needed care that I encountered the disadvantages of Medicare Advantage, limited networks, requirements for prior approval for almost everything, subsequent delays and denials, and denied payments.”]
An audit done by the government’s inspector general found that Medicare Disadvantage falsely denied 18% of payments that they were supposed to approve and that real medicare would have approved. This amounts to 1.5 million times per year that Americans were shafted by illegal payment denials from those companies. There are also increased hassles and delays in getting your medical care and limited choice of doctors.
[An estimated 18 percent of payment denials met Medicare coverage rules and MAO billing rules and therefore the provider payments should not have been denied by the MAOs. This projects to 28,949 payment denials that met Medicare coverage rules and MAO billing rules for these MAOs during the first week of June 2019.]
Conservative Republican Rep. Jim Jordan fell significantly short of winning the House speaker’s gavel on a first ballot Tuesday, leaving the House in paralysis after 20 Republicans opposed the Ohio Republican.
Dems need to nominate Liz Cheney for speaker. They could easily get 20 GOP votes (she was their former leader) but would only need 5 of their votes. She would still be Republican but she is also a loyal American.
He literally has to schedule floor votes. It is his only job and the constitution requires that there must be a speaker. His only power is to decide when the next vote is scheduled. He cannot control how anyone votes.
Yes but he will not be scheduling a vote if he thinks that has any chance of happening
This assumption that one person could force the House to never have a speaker is a ridiculously nonsensical argument. It is literally an impossibility for there never to be a vote for speaker. There is a 0% chance of that happening. The constitution requires it. If there is too long of a delay than the members can and obviously would hold a vote without him. And the GOP would pay a huge price in the next election for attempting to bring the idiocy to a new level.
or there will not be a speaker until the next congress, which is in 14 months.
That is not a possibility. That is a completely impossible scenario for a large variety of reasons.
But there is virtually no chance that democrats and a handful of Republicans are going to get to decide the speaker this term.
There is a very significant chance. Cross party coalitions are a very common thing in state legislatures. And even Republicans are getting totally fed up with the anti-American neofascists in their party.
You are only guaranteed on Medigap with the best prices if you get it within 6 months of first enrolling in Medicare. That’s why it is critical to get real Medicare + Part D + Medigap when you are first eligible. If you initially get Medicare Disadvantage, and then realize how bad it is, you can switch from Part C to Part B/D during the next enrollment period, but it will be hard to add Medigap to that.
An audit done by the government’s inspector general found that Medicare Disadvantage falsely denied 18% of payments that they were supposed to approve and that real medicare would have approved. This amounts to 1.5 million times per year that Americans were shafted by illegal payment denials from those companies.
