I'm not going to kink shame if that's a thing for him.I would not enjoy being zip-tied naked in the middle of the night.

The medical arts have long been a place where ordinary (albeit brilliant) working-class and middle-class folks could matriculate into the UMC and higher.I think the USA looks at one aspect of healthcare wrongly. The supply side needs to be addressed. Every year, many qualified students get turned down to be doctors. I have said for years that the USA needs more physicians, nurses etc. We have to expand health care in our schools, instead of restricting them. Sure you can price fix many health care services, like they do in Japan. I think though the result will be that many doctors will only take private patients and a shortage of care will develop, meaning long lines etc. Some specialists now have a 6 month or more wait in an entire metro area. USA needs more supply. On the supply side open up drug imports and allow people to get healthcare from any state they want.
We need expansion too for diagnostics of all sorts. From blood work to MRI's. Most of these things now can be done outside a hospital setting. Ten percent of income to health care seems very reasonable. I think we are at 17% now.
I have to say that is rough. Are there no other jobs in your area? Any chances to move if there are not? It is good to be faithful in what you do now, but if it is turning out to be low income, then keep praying and expect God to bring something else.No, just wondering if there were any real guidelines I was missing... And in many ways yes I am going backwards considering depreciation of the car...
I knew the repairs were coming for a while, CV halfshaft had a torn boot, nobody does just the boots anymore they do the whole shaft, control arms since the bushings and ball joints are now part of the control arm instead of replaceable components. and rear brakes plus a 4 wheel alignment hit me for 3K... This is in 4 weeks of working basically 12 hour days when the car is not in the shop...

Oh, about the same as I'm currently paying for health insurance, I suppose, including copays and all that. It will probably work out to less than that, though.What percentage of your income are you willing to give for life, so the nation can have ‘free’ healthcare?
That’s just one State, though, the millions are elsewhere, probably, but undetectable because of corrupt elections officials!
Chatgpt always begins with politically correct alignment if starting fresh with a new account without any context loaded.
I found this alignment consistent wth chatgpt when it comes to religious discussions. If you never realized this alignment before, you probably never asked chatgpt controversial questions nor talk about controversial topics concerning religion or even Christianity.
Our military takes its 13% off the top.I don't know why the aversion to free healthcare, i mean the prices of treatments in usa seem too high, but if poor countries can have free healthcare sure usa can too.
Sorry I am a bit dislexic. But I find this is another red herring. Everything scrutinised with spelling and semantics except the actual evidence.@stevevw, it's provenance not providence. Despite being implicitly corrected on this by one or more posters, you have persisted in the error.
I tend not to see spelling mistakes as I have it in my mind that this is correct. I spell it out in my head and thats how I spell it until corrected. I may not notice the specific corrections on something as tiny as a word spelling. Even when corrected I tend to still spell it that way as a matter of thinking anyway. Its not easy to undo.It's further evidence that you do not read, or rarely understand the multiple refutations your posts have received. Detail seems to go over your head. The only providence related to this thread is its total absence in warning me how much ill argued material you would present.
The Petrie vases are similar in quality to Olgas vase, no unknown ancient technology needed.
I agree that in testing a higher expectation is required because its actually testing a theory and needs a high standard of evidence. As more vases get tested that are exactly the same as these so called 'unknown provedence' this will lend more support for their athenticity.They can have been made in other places and other times that should be enough to not use them.
I am not saying a vase with similar precision could not have been done in the mid 20th century. I am saying it would have taken our best tech at that time and arguing that it was expensive and hard to access that equipment and totally unnecessary when no one worried about precision.The argument that you don't understand why fakes could been done with good precision is not strong. So have you calculated the likelihood ratio or the Bayes factor then? I would be very interested in seeing your assumptions.
I am talking about all the vases that have been tested. Maximus is only one researcher. I am specifically talking about the vases tested by Adam Young and Károly Póka research team that tested vases from the Petrie museum twice now.No they are not according to Maximus Energy. Get your quality criteria lined up.
Yes, the explicit statement is they are on display as genuine vases in the Petrie museum as genuine vases lol.Fine, with me.
So are there any explicit statements from the Petrie museum on the vases in Matt Beall's collection? Otherwise it is not relevant
I mean fixating on the few vases with short provedence as fakes when this has not been established and then use this to refute the precision vases altogether.How is it a red herring, what false statement are being said to
Of course its a science. Metrology is a science. The science of measurement.All measurement is not science
Ok Peer review lol. All this insistence on peer review.The provenance and the the interpretations rely on peer-review.
I am not saying that anyone should avoid peer review. This will happen. As I said in some ways its already happened as papers have been written. Just not submitted to any journal as yet. Its ongoing. But those papers are open for peer review. You can or a expert can review them and publish a paper refuting them.You do as you please, just don't expect to be taken seriously if you don't follow the normal way to disseminate information including peer-review.
Lol I think theres enough scientists or at least people who claim to be experts objecting and complaining. Like the Scientists against Myth. Or like some on this thread even. They may claim to be experts and have a right to submit a paper refuting the findings.If they don't publish in scientific journals, scientists are not going to care to to publish their refutations in scientific journals. It's all conjecture.
Yes there are and some on this thread are trying to refute them now in questioning the measurements found by metrology. The metrology findings are from scientific testing. Testing the measurements on the vases with scientific equipment.As of now there are no findings to refute.
Actually no, they are offered as scientific tests done with proper equipment. The numbers don't lie. If a object is 6cm long and the equipment measures it at 6cm long it cannot lie. If the test is repeatedby independent testers and they find its also 6cm long its good science and not just say so.That is because that is all that are being offered, just say so.
First the tests are not done on a podcase but on site at the Petrie museum. Second the light scaning creates a light grid that captures the entire vase no matter how it stands. So long as you capture the entire vase. PLus the scan is plug into the softwar so tells the tester what is exactly being captured.Live on a podcast? The handheld gauges I've seen used have left more than little to be wished for, there have been no effort to show that they were measured at the same height for example.
What, the best one is actuallt one of the best from all vases even the ones with short provedence. Its actually more precise (0.003) on the inside than on the outside (0.004). All the precise vases have small deviations that they could only have been made by sophisticated mathing.Yes, and the surface deviation on the objects with good provenance is not what you would have expected from something that would have been turned in a lathe like tool.
OK. But I think its because of the precise symmetry and circularity that could only be achieved by a lathe and not the coil method.That is not why they are arguing for the use of a turntable, read the article again. I will do so too, to make sure I'm not misrepresenting them.
All of them. If the guage metrology shows a near perfect circle around the neck of the vase or opening down to 1,000s of an inch. Then the CT, lazer or X Ray light scan shows the same parts on the same vase with the same precision but just more accurate into the micron level. Its all still showing the same results of precision to varying degrees.So which quality metric is to be used then, and how do they relate to each other? Both relevant question that would have been brought up if the manuscripts had been peer-reviewed.
I can already guess where this is going, I have seen it 1000s of time, I will play along but lets just say this looks like the old RCC is the Boggy Man thread.Revelation 6-19 contain two parallel prophesies of the same events with different details. I'll be listing them appropriately.
Revelation chapter 6:1-8's first four seals and four horseman are the four empires spoken about in the second paragraph of this article.
No it is not.The reason this is evident is that this prophecy in Rev. chapters 6-11 is repeated in Rev. chapters 13-18. with the same seven judgments as Rev. chapters 6-11. Only instead of four horsemen.
Might be a good idea to see what other countries do: https://www.ato.gov.au/individuals-...rance/medicare-levy/what-is-the-medicare-levyWhat percentage of your income are you willing to give for life, so the nation can have ‘free’ healthcare?
Yet, in every single system doing that, no matter how different they are, those are the results. Come on, the excuse that "USA is different" holds no water, all the other systems are different from each other as well.Uea becauae those systems were not the US system. Its not not the US tax system or givernment system.
Yeah Im not sure.
I will take the fact that you ignore what I say completely as a sign that you have no answer to my question and that you aren't actually trying to discuss anything with me. Get back to me when you can stay on topic and actually talk with others.Where does the government get its funds from?
Yes, we’d have to drastically “change our system”…that’s the whole point.They also have completely different systems. Not just medical, but governmental, budgetary, tax, and size of population and expectations of the populace.
I'm not saying it 100% won't work here ever. But under the current systems it won't. And I'm not in any way confident it will because we aren't Europe.
Not only that, but the for-profit health insurance industry produces millions every year IN PROFIT. Imagine if that money went to providing health care for people who need it instead. That would absolutely help bring down the cost of health care.Fundamentally, the larger the pool of insured people, the more you can spread out costs. Additionally, a larger base of customers brings more negotiating power when it comes to drug prices and contracts with hospitals, and if hospitals don't have to worry (as much, or potentially anymore) about treating uninsured (or underinsured) patients who can't pay their bills, then they don't need to charge as much for services. That's a big part of why medical care is so expensive in the US - hospitals have to structure their billing to account for the (quite high) percentage of bills that will go to collections and/or remain unpaid.
I don't disagree that moving to a single-payer system might necessitate major changes to our medical care system, but clearly those issues can be solved, given the number of countries that have implemented some form of national healthcare. We certainly shouldn't rush into it, but just because it might be difficult or it might take a while to figure out does not mean that it's not worth pursuing.
