QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Oct 31, 2013 -> 11:46 AM) Obviously this is the disconnect in my thoughts on healthcare and the socialist version. I think if you're 20 or 30 years old, totally healthy, and really only need a check-up once a year, you should be able to buy an incredibly cheap plan with a large deductible for catastrophic stuff. I think it's bogus that someone who doesn't use healthcare is now required to pay a hundred or more dollars a month in order to cover someone else. Have you ever looked at the definition of socialism or do you just parrot what you hear? I find it interesting that there are people that can't handle a hundred dollars a month but could suddenly pay a large deductable.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Oct 31, 2013 -> 10:39 AM) Any? You should have the freedom to shop around for the insurance plan you want. Have you really thought that through? Without minimums you could shop for a plan that does not offer hospitalization, perscriptions, routine care, physical therapy, etc.? It would only cover a chat with a nurse once a year. That would be "insurance" and it would cost $25 annually. Now I understand that would be the dream scenario for conservatives but isn't even close to the goal if the reforms.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Oct 30, 2013 -> 10:22 AM) There is no "fix" to this problem. It's insurance companies being forced to comply with the mandatory minimums of the law. This has nothing to do with the website issues. Which of the mandatory minimums are you against?

The first time I saw anyone mess with a bar's tv was with a wristwatch universal remote circa 1990. I figured that ran it's course during the last century. But everything old is new again. And what's with the cracks about "adults" and how they use their phones?

First off, this has been talked about for years. Plans that do not conform have to be changed. We'll see about increases. My plan dropped this year by a few bucks a month for the same coverage. My dental and vision went up. Seems odd.

My daughter who just graduated from UI sampled almost every combination. Freshman year on campus private dorm with a HS friend Sophmore year off campus apartment with same friend Junior year apartment by herself Senior year with eight guys in a nine bedroom, six bathroom house. Three gay guys, five straight, and her. Easily the best situation for her.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Oct 28, 2013 -> 06:15 PM) I think once some of you guys sort of find your way in your chosen professions and settle into your adult lives a little you won't miss college quite as much... I still love the classroom, which is why I went back. And after my M.A. I will either audit classes or find a PhD program that works within my schedule.

The basic idea of the article is low cost of living with minimal government services and restrictions results in massive growth, which keeps building the economy.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 29, 2013 -> 03:45 PM) Gosh, I'm so impressed...an article in a "magazine" locked behind a paywall. Now that's how you sell me on a state being the future! Seriously though, UT Austin finally is hiring for what I do...so yeah, i'm jumping on that ad. Interesting, I read the whole article on-line. I wonder how long they leave it up free or if it was a mistake.

The state isn't as ultra-conservative as you may think. Cities like San Antonio and Austin are actually very liberal, as is almost the entire border region. There is much discussion as to when, not if, the state flips to Dem again. The usual answer is 2-5 years. I wouldn't be surprised after the next election to have a Dem governor and senator.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Oct 28, 2013 -> 10:30 PM) Why do you people not link your contacts with your Google account? I don't know how many Facebook posts I've seen where people say "new phone, text me your number". For me it means I would have 1000+ contacts, with over 900 I will never contact again. Between previous jobs and Boy Scouts Google just loads too many. Worst still is any link with Facebook.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Oct 29, 2013 -> 12:56 PM) Even if Dunn is gone, what is the argument for having Paulie at 1B/DH over moving Viciedo there and upgrading in the OF? Loyalty. Fan favorite. Tradition. Probably not the best baseball decision.

200 replies. No wonder the media loves him

Has anyone done a study on minor league rankings and post season success? I'd be interested in the years before an appearance.

If you make every decision based on the average, you will get average results.

QUOTE (Jake @ Oct 28, 2013 -> 10:37 AM) Zotero. Zotero. You will forget EasyBib as mere child's play. I used it a couple years ago and it seemed much better for on line sources but mine are almost all print journals. Has it gotten better?

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Oct 28, 2013 -> 11:23 AM) Hey if some girl is finding out I only have one nut i'm already in a good spot.

http://content.time.com/time/magazine/arti...2154995,00.html

Registered fall the spring semester. Grad classes are a bit more hectic for registration. Only 15 spots in one section per class. Registration opened at midnight, already ten of fifteen spots were taken.

I have actually taken the time to tailor the ads I see everywhere. We'll see if it works. I've wanted to tell the ad generator that I bought a truck, so stop the Tundra, Silverado, F150, Ram 1500 ads and give me something new.

I got into Lou Reed way late. In fact it was my son that turned me on to Velvet Underground. Which basically says I had no taste in music in the 1970s and a pretty cool kid who knows great rock. RIP

I am a big fan of http://www.easybib.com/ yes, I can do my own citations, but this usually makes it easier and will be even better when more people use it and more citations are added. I also enjoy living in a college town for cheap entertainment, cheap beer, and a certain vibe you can't get anywhere else.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 27, 2013 -> 07:33 PM) The vast majority of people lose massive amounts of money on health care. They pay in way more than they take out. That is the entire idea. Most of us give away money. And some cheat the system by never paying. Which if I can say is one aspect of this that I find so interesting. Liberals are demanding that people be responsible for their medical bills by having insurance. Conservatives are demanding that people be allowed to not carry insurance and receive free services. Doesn't it seem like that should be reversed?
