I just pray I don't have to hear you be such a kitty again anytime soon.

Update- the transmission fluid line was damaged and I guess the computer shut the tranny down before it was damaged.. 300 bucks including the diagnosis charge and fluid change. Feels good! The question now, do I sell this small SUV and try to find another small manual commuter car?

What Will You Be Doing This Sunday.....
B-Large replied to Chef Jim's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Heading down to Lodos bar and grill to watch the Bills stretch the Titans' anai, then watch the Broncos stretch the Raiders. I love peaking over to the Tavern across the street and seeing the mouth breathing wanna be pieces of gangster **** Raiders fans cry about their ****ty team. It's supposed to be gorgeous in Denver today 75-80 and sunny. I probably should be hiking, but I do love being around fans on a rooftop on game day... -

Another Mass Shooting!, This Time in Oregon
B-Large replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Maybe the best option is just to make peace with the fact in a free society with gun rights, mass shootings will just be collateral damage. We can fortify schools, movie theatres, but then it will be a crowded public pool, or mall, or bus stop. Fortify those, it will be a restaurant. We're not going to anything to reduce access to guns, not take the ones people already own. We're not going to screen everybody for mental illness, violate personal health privacy or keep databases of people with mental illness, and even if we could what criteria identifies mass shooters, and if people meet that criteria are we going to suspend their freedom?? Of course not. So what does that leave? To me, "stuff" does happen, it sucks, but it does -
Corporate/Financial Criminals Get Free Pass
B-Large replied to Trump_is_Mentally_fit's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Yep. And let's not forget big corporate wrongdoers do face consequences, i.e. Tyco, Enron, AA... Maybe some bankers should have been charged and put in jail, let's not forget Obama was the one who essentially decided not to press the issue. At 25 of the US economy and a juicy donors class, don't look to politicians to look gift horses in the mouth. -

I doing disagree that if you break the law, you should be charged and go through the process. But people certainly didn't seem to question behavior or practices when the getting was good. -
Another Mass Shooting!, This Time in Oregon
B-Large replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Great post. A few questions. What do we define as mental illness, and what levels of MI are labeled high risk to violent behavior? Do patients have a right to privacy regarding their condition? Do we want national security agencies monitoring all citizens communications to identify potential security risks? -
8 weeks there is a heartbeat.... I am still wrapping my head around 20 weeks.... And not well.

What's Wrong With Our Court System

With out permissive court system, sometimes you just have to suck it and see... Who knows what you can't get. -
What's Wrong With Our Court System

becaus if they just dismissed the case immediately it would have been raysis? -
what's your thought process on it I guess it's relative. I have a family member who has a Camry, 90k they want to sell for 3500... But you are getting another unknown, but history suggest a good value in that vehicle. I feel like either way with cars you lose, it's just how quickly and how much...

We have a Honda CRV 2003 with 175,000 miles on it. As I was driving today the transmission slipped and never came back to work, my guess, rebuild in the near future, $2500. So the question is, rebuild or cut bait? We don't drive that much, we have one car, and I have always been of the mindset of repairing as a better fiscal option to buying another vehicle either used or new- at the end of the day, drive it till it falls apart. I take excellent care of vehicles, part of the reason why they tend to last a long time.. So, repair or move on? The rebuild comes warranted, and and we're already saving a bunch by ditching our other vehicle. Give me your thoughts.

Speaker John Boehner Will Resign From Congress
B-Large replied to B-Man's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
He was probably just tired of zero sum governance, in the face of constant threats of government shutdown and government shutdown... Perhaps he felt a government shutdown in the face of defunding PP just wasn't in line with what he thought was reasonable a decided enough was enough. -
I am troubled by the people coming out saying essentially it wasn't exactly in the video as described, so that somehow makes the process less concerning. Whether it is on the screen as a slice and dice session, or simply the clinical documentation that describes the process it is equally alarming, and is a good time to begin a discussion.... Should we limit term legally, or does that force unsafe procedures in makeshift clinics? Do we change how we deliver information about birth control to kids? How do we evaluate our relationship with this procedure in 2015? I think Carly found an edge as a female candidate to discuss abortion and reignite the debate... Some will fault her for politicizing it, I appreciate the opportunity to engage in meaningful discourse. Unfortunately media will as you said corral the sheep and they'll be out mimicking talking point instead of looking inward and evaluating their moral and ethic position. Death to cable news and ideologically driven new drivel. Yo, bitches be crazy... I think we can all agree on that subject Something about a test at 20 weeks that doesn't reveal the ideal baby and off to the scraping that doesn't sit we'll with me. I understand the motivation, I do, a life with somebody with disabilities is difficult and probably approaching sainthood, but it just doesn't seem right to be able rig the game so speak.... I mean if you can't accept what nature gives you, !@#$ing adopt.... Off soapbox

That's psychopathic if it is true... But what other reason could there be to wait that long? When do they do the test for Downs?
-
I can't bring myself to watch it, don't care if it shows or just describes it. I think there are legitimate reasons to have clinically safe abortion available, but the thought of 20 weeks makes we wonder what the !@#$ was the pregnant woman waiting for.

Essentially single payor with deductible, I think it's a great plan. Insurers probably won't like it, and it would be hard to essentially dissolve an entire industry. Here the question, how is this that much different than what we have with the ACA? For example my wife and I pay $500/mo. ( which under Carson plan would be a levied tax I assume to fund the National Cat Pool) and have a 6k deductible in which we have an account. My wife gets a Breast MRI as screening every year that is not considered a covered service, so we pay in cash, but research providers. So the ACA has encouraged the behavior Carson advocates, and what we have is essentially Cat coverage... And I assume his plan advocates funding an HSA for former Medicaid enrollees and they will be part of the single risk pool now? Still has the same problems as any other plan, the young still subsidizing the old, etc..... But I love the potential efficiencies both medically and administratively this plan provides.. I wonder if Carson advocates a single EMR as we'll?

Hedge Fund Manager raises price of HIV drug 5000%
B-Large replied to Deranged Rhino's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
What he lists is for $750 a pill, the insurers who have contracts with patients to provide this drug on formulary negotiate for, $100-150 a pill? Still a tidy profit on a drug that before cost little to nothing in pharma world. I wouldn't feel comfortable doing that, but the market does what it does- I guess that's why some guys have yachts, and some don't. -
it will be interesting to see who donors start coalescing around in the next month if so. Bush has a long record of experience and deep ties to political system, but that name is gonna get him slung through so much garbage and he is gonna have to navigate the dynasty label very skillfully. Rubio is highly skilled politically, doesn't have the baggage Jeb has, but will voters overlooks his immigration stance and moderate stances on other issues? To me, Rubio has a better chance with Indy voters IMO.
