You had terrible insurance. I don’t remember what I paid for my major surgery a few years ago because it was maybe $100 or so. Maybe less? I’d LOVE to see your bill if you still have it!


I know I don't have the paper bill but I may have a picture of it somewhere.

One thing you really can't get in Youtube reviews is how long a product will last. That's why the product testing lab like GoodHousekeeping where they have a hiking shoe walking on a machine to see when it finally wears out is a good thing.

Best you get is someone doing an update 6 months or a year later.

Thanksgiving provides plenty of opportunity to experience 'everybody hard of hearing' syndrome. As we get more superannuated, so do those we live with. And almost nobody gets hearing aids until almost totally deaf, something I sympathize with. So both the one speaking *and* the one not hearing it well get tired of saying "didn't quite hear that" and we go around not communcating well, often guessing at what was said, often guessing wrong!

The mistakes are sometimes fairly serious, you just have to hope no one gets hurt!

District 2 Water District in Florida sells permits for Hog hunt Dec 3.

This hog picture they used doesn't look like it's had any water on it in a while.

Adam Smith’s famous “invisible hand” is often misinterpreted as a justification for unregulated markets and self-interest. Smith warned that unchecked self-interest could lead to market failures, such as monopolies, exploitation, and crises like the 2008 financial collapse.

China is apparently extensively using drones in business, like deliveries. I assume this is because a drone's dropping the equivalent of a FedEx package on a random citizen's head, injuring or even killing them is not a reason to not do business like that.
