My condolences. There really is a ton of content there, so nobody can really blame you for using it.

I kissed four so the universe is now back in balance and there’s nothing you can do about it.

He was replaced in 2023. I think there may have been a period where he was fired and they didn’t have a replacement yet, and Jimmy Pesto just wasn’t on the show, but I’m not certain.

Meanwhile, on Aug. 4, Jan Thompson, Schock’s mother, received a phone call from the Whatcom Humane Society in Washington state. They told her that her son’s dog had been found the previous day on a trail near the Chilliwack River.

Dog is good.

If you ate two pounds of cheese a day every day (about 3700 calories), it would take 66 years to get through all 22 metric tons.

Edit: I see now the comment I replied to is about subsidizing losses, not about having a state run insurance program.

If the premiums are risk based, why not not? Ideally there would also be a buyback program for homes deemed to be uninhabitable due to climate risk. Maybe something like the state will buy the house at 80% of the value used for property taxes, up to a certain maximum (fixed dollar amount? Percentage over the county/state median?) This buyback program could be used when the premiums become unaffordable.

The cherry picking is usually a compromise to keep the companies operating in the state at all. If the state says a company must offer coverage for all perils for the entire state or leave entirely, it doesn’t take an underwriter to know Florida is a bad bet. There are similar carve outs for windstorm coverage in other gulf coast states, and I think for wildfire coverage on the west coast.

Edit: I couldn’t find anything about a single peril state plan for California, but this article describes some of the recent insurance issues in the state: https://apnews.com/article/california-home-insurance-wildfire-risk-premiums-047bdfa514ce93dac83c82735a15554a

Water damage to your house is generally covered unless it’s specifically excluded (flood). Plumbing leaks are usually covered, and the same goes for wind driven rain.

When it comes to your belongings, coverage is the opposite, meaning nothing is covered unless the policy specifically says it is. Plumbing water damage is covered, but wind driven rain is only covered if an opening is created by the wind or hail. This could be as minor as a missing shingle.

Flood damage (the rising water kind) isn’t covered by homeowners insurance for the building or your belongings, but renters policies do typically cover flood damage.

Another thing to know about ahead of time is replacement cost coverage. I knew something that only had cash value coverage for their roof in addition to an $8000 deductible. They got a check from the insurance for about $200 and had to pay the rest out of pocket.

Why not Firefox with ublock origin?

The bot serves a very important purpose. It teaches users about the block function. I really tried to tolerate it, but it’s just like those pinned automod comments on reddit.

I had never heard of this before. I do generally avoid contact with wildlife, though.

It’s good, but I didn’t think it was worth fighting wars over.

Rational and rationale are two different words. This page gives some good examples for both: https://writingexplained.org/rational-vs-rationale-difference

I’ll take small menu ordering every time. If we’re all getting the same thing and the choice is quantity, it’ll likely be fresh.

While the “full-blown timeline” for the vaccine being approved “might be many years away” the visible impact could be sooner.

Professor Ahmed added that, through clinical trials, he would hope to start seeing the vaccine’s impact “in four or five years on the healthy population”.

This is really exciting. I wonder if vaccines could be developed for other cancers using a similar technique?

I somehow missed that people were hoarding tp again. Imagine my surprise yesterday when I went to buy some and found nearly the entire aisle bare. Luckily there was plenty of the store brand, so I guess people were panick buying but not panicked enough to consider a different brand.

Good thing Biden isn’t running anymore.

The article says they’re “hair sheep” which shed and are often raised for their meat.

I use the Fox Replace extension to replace all instances of slam with criticize. It’s great.
