Great devices overall. I've been tempted to pick one of these up for nostalgia purposes. Truly peak PDAs.

If a company was smart they'll hold onto you for life because you will care and give it 110% because that loyalty used to be gaurentee good output.

Obviously none of this exists anymore and it's a damn shame.

It's why there was a common joke about being, " native American" as your golden ticket to the ivy leagues.

With the strike down, it refocuses admissions solely on academic performance which was what they used to be based on before the 1960s.

Nothing worse than losing weight but most of the weight loss was muscle mass.

As such, I know a fair amount of astrology from a Greco Roman perspective and by extension all the way up to medieval astrology. Yeah plz I find it fascinating.

With that said, the vast majority of western astrology is done using new age psychological nonsense that was literally made up by hippies during the 60s. It is completely divorced from the tradition that was developed and refined from the Chaldeans (aka Babylonians), Greeks, Arabs, and Europeans and as such doesn't make any sense against the system that was developed and refined over at least a thousand years.

A good astrologer won't say with precision that X is going to happen (like you will meet the love of your life or pass the test), they'll give their predictions in archetypes and give a range of outcomes that fall under those archetypes.

Take for example the meaning of the 9th house, the 9th house represents far away travel, religion, higher education, and publishing. These are all desperate subjects from one another and need to be considered in a predictoon against the backdrop of your life.

Does it work? It's a bit like the weather, I can say this range of things under this archetype will happen on X date at X time. That's pretty much it.

If you're interested in the subject, the best primer book I can recommend is the study office and fortune by Chris Brennan which can be found on Amazon in print and ebook format. It's written as a college level text with citations and will give you the historical background and practical foundations to understand the classical philosophy that underpins the basis of the tradition.

Anywho, I expect a good roasting and some down d00ts for my interest in t is subject.

Endowments are almost entirely used for dubious things like sports and football programs which have a nebulous educational value at best and a negative impact at worst. If you were aware of the industry (which you're not down d00ter) you'd know that there are efforts by the government to already start taxing sports and football programs in particular because of how much money these programs bring in.

Eliminating the non profit status allows business taxes to be collected from bloated college programs, sports, and more.

The goal is to return higher education to its pre 1960s status of being affordable from basic income and not a 4 year long resort with learning sprinkled on top.

It's time to eliminate student loans entirely, hard cap student visas, tax college endowments, and remove higher education non profit status and let the higher education industrial complex collapse in on itself.

It's become a leviathan of highly paid over credentialed demigods with dubious benefit.

It's coming and the government knows what it did.

From the governor of Virginia himself. This is the tip of the iceberg. Keep telling yourself lies.

Sadly, we live in a cruel and unfair world and coming to acceptance of that is called growing up.

But your comment does touch up on something else which is the fact that men and women very much have biological differences that are complimentary to our survival as a species and trying to ignore or say they don't exist smacks the face of reality hard.

But the linked article indeed touches upon a unique edge case and it's something that these games will need to address, the 3rd option. Unfortunately by genetics these "intersex" people are not men OR women, they are aberrations and unique which I would say should preclude them from competing entirely because they aren't technically men or women.

The exception is you don't have copays and deductibles but those aren't ever arduous and now that I've been using HSAs, it's negligible and a great hack at investing which is really what I use it for.

If you have insurance, which you would because you'd have a job and not be a bum, your insurance would cover mostly everything. You have out of pocket maximum which dictate how much you are limited to pay for which is marginal at best.

The people who get $50k medical bills are lying and if they call the billing departments, they apply 80% self pay discounts which bring the fees in line with having insurance. More so, every state has low/no income programs which cover everything.

The nice thing about America is you don't need to go to a GP who will refer you. If you want to visit a urologist for a problem, you call a urologist, schedule an appointment and show up. You can be seen as early as that week of an appointment is open or most of the time as soon as the following week.

Going in network with your insurance provides the best cost/benefit ratio and of all of the insurance coverages I get, even with shit high deductible ones I still get access to research and specialty hospitals.

Consequently , nurses and doctors are better paid and have far better attitudes towards care in America. Every nurse and doctor I met in thE UK and Canada were truly miserable and over worked.

Private care in the UK is cheaper compared to the US but the US subsidizes the vast majority of medical advancements through it's over priced medical system that if it didn't exist, the advancements European countries take advantage of would disappear. Personally, I'd love to American companies get panelized tax wise in America when they are told by foreign country regulators what they can sell X drug for on their countries when the price isnt in line with the free market. They should walk or be taxed for selling at a discount but that's a different argument.

My standard of care went way up when I got private insurance in the UK as well. The only thing the public services were ever good at was emergency care.

This is an unpopular opinion and it's a shame that there isn't a panacea. Both systems have their strengths and weaknesses.
