On average, we earn enough that everyone should have healthcare and 4 -week vacations every summer

On average.

Yeah, I hope Clinton/Harris was snark.

Clinton/Harris 2028

We need to just make the richest person in the country financially responsible for all healthcare.

When Musk falls to #2, he can share the load with Bezos. When Bezos and Musk tie him for third, Zuck gets to join the party. Nobody gets to be the richest American. At that point, they get to brag about how many lives they are responsible for saving instead of how much damage they’ve done to the rest of us.

Welp, the midterms are finally going to be all about universal healthcare.

You don’t actually have to be a citizen to join the US military. Permanent Residents (Green Card holders) are eligible to serve. They are also required to register for Selective Service and can be drafted.

AFAIK, the affected senators vacate their seats. A quorum is 50% + 1 of occupied seats. When an asteroid falls on 30 GOP senators, a quorum is 36 and a supermajority is 47, not 51 an 67.

I have legitimately never seen this meme.

I’ve seen dozens of posts and articles commenting on it, but I have never actually seen this meme in the wild.

Yo ho, all together…

Law enforcement can certainly investigate, sure. But we won’t hear about that investigation unless it turns up something that can make it through court.

It’s theoretically possible that an asteroid could hit a gathering of GOP senators shortly before the impeachment vote, skewing the demographics of the Senate enough to convict.

The requirement is “proof of financial responsibility” not “insurance” specifically. Every state allows you to establish a surety bond rather than insurance. If you’ve got $30k-$50k lying around doing nothing, you can let the state hold on to. So long as you don’t get sued for damages related to your driving, you get it back when you stop driving.

They would need more evidence. He can claim the autobiography is a work of fiction designed to sell copies, and that the rape never actually happened.

Without corroborating evidence, the state can’t meet its burden of proof.

Interesting. A first-person shooter is the view from the perspective of the shooter. A third person shooter is the view from a neutral party - a camera watching the action.

A second-person shooter would be from the viewpoint of those being shot by the protagonist.

A telepathic assassin. You read the mind(s) of your target(s), and somehow use their eyes to kill them.

Corn cares not from whence the shit posts

FTFY. “Whence” means “from what origin”.

Ninety percent of the time it has no bearing on anything the doctor will be doing

I would tend to agree with you if that were the case. But, I would ask you to quantify your claim.

According to ACEP, 48 in 100 ER patients will undergo simple radiograph procedures (some form of X-rays), while 27 in 100 will undergo CT imaging. Both pose significant dangers to a fetus, if present.

Based on that data, at least 48% to 75% of the time, the question does, indeed, have bearing on something the doctor will be doing. Is that sufficiently high enough to prioritize determining whether there is a second patient in the room?

There’s plenty of time later on in the exam

You’re assuming that she’s not going to quickly lose consciousness due to shock or blood loss. That is not a particularly safe assumption.

I would say this is not universal. For some, the written word is the native “tongue”, conveying the actual, intended meaning. The written word allows the speaker the opportunity to evaluate and revise their language to match their intent, and the listener the opportunity to re-evaluate previously transmitted thoughts.

The oral variant is dependent on the real-time aptitude of the speaker to articulate their thoughts and message, and for the listener to extract that meaning from the same. For those of us handicapped in these traits, the spoken word is the poor facsimile for actual (written) communication.

I think “whence” is a near-perfect example. “Whence” means “from what origin”.

The word is used nearly exclusively in the phrase “from whence it came”, or “from (from what origin) it came”
