Also, they program stuff like high rep clean and jerks and snatches along with high intensity cardio and gymnastic movements. Never a great idea to train high power, highly technical movements with fatiguing exercises and time pressure, let alone with poor form. I did a few classes in SF coming from a background in Olympic lifting and strength sports and I really found maintaining form and safety was quite hard.
The wallet-sized passport card is a great solution for that case then. It’s much cheaper than the regular passport book (and you are allowed to have both at once), doesn’t invalidate your regular passport book if it gets lost or stolen, and is also usable to go between the US and Canada by land or sea without having to bring the passport book with you. For people with a Global Entry or NEXUS card, that card also works for every case where the passport card does (and more).
Green card holders also have a convenient wallet size for their green card, and they’re legally required to carry it with them at all times while in the US anyway.
States like MA legally only accept MA IDs and federal govt IDs for age verification. That’s why a lot of bars and packies will turn people away or ask for additional proof like CC’s. You’re more likely to be held liable for misconduct if the license you accepted is out of state.
The cat and mouse between payer and system will never die given how it's set up. There's a disincentive to bill less than maximally, and therefore to not deny and adjust as much as possible. Somewhere in the middle patients get squished with the burden of copays and uncovered expenses that the hospital is now legally obligated to try and collect on or forfeit that portion for all future claims (and still have a copay on that new adjustment)
There is an unheard population of Ukrainians who want the war to stop and for there to be peace with their Russian cousins.
It is the Western powers who are sacrificing Ukraine in order to put Western weapons systems on Russias borders. Not the Ukrainian people.
And, in the context of what was done to Iraq (5% of its population murdered for the purposes of the USA's racist, elitist ruling classes), it is no wonder that this silence is perpetuated.
There is an unheard population of Ukrainians who want the war to stop and for there to be peace with their Russian cousins.
Actually, they are very much heard from, and their views are carefully studied by public opinion researchers.
However (1) they are a minority and (2) you are definitely misrepresenting their views to suggest that favoring an early ceasefire means "wanting peace with their Russian cousins", per your disingenuous choice of phrasing there.
It is the Western powers who are sacrificing Ukraine in order to put Western weapons systems on Russias borders. Not the Ukrainian people.
As if the solid majority in Ukraine who wishes to continue the fight (along with all of those who foolishly sign up to go the front) were just puppets, with no idea as to why the fight was really being waged, and no ability to see through this gigantic sham that has been foisted upon them, which should be as plainly obvious to them as it is to you.
Western public opinion researchers == propagandists for the military industrial complex.
No one said they were "Western" in this case. Strange that you jump to that assumption.
Solid majority? Post your sources
The research is very easily findable. The numbers also resonate with my own impressions from countless discussions with actual, real Ukrainians, both in and outside the country.
Normally I'm happy to provide sources asked, but from the tone and content of your responses on this and related threads, I don't think you actually care.
From what you just said, above, whoever is doing the research -- if their data doesn't support your highly jaundiced and moralistic worldview, you've already decided that must be because they're propagandists for the military industrial complex, end of story.
So, rather than resorting to ad hominem on the basis of fallacies, post the details. Lets see your sources.
I speak with Ukrainian refugees every single day, as I live within hours of Ukraines borders, and have volunteered with refugees from the Wests' wars for decades, helping them rebuild their tattered lives - from Iraq to Afghanistan and Syria, to Ukraine and now Palestine.
So if that makes me jaundiced, so be it.
>Normally I'm happy to provide sources asked, but from the tone and content of your responses on this and related threads, I don't think you actually care.
I've dried the tears of countless mothers and their children, and helped many of them move to safer parts of the world. Perhaps, I care too much.
But I've seen the products of callous disregard, too many times.
How about you provide your sources in response to a recent situation in which you made a highly untenable, and also quite provocative assertion -- yet, when asked to provide sources in a perfectly polite and unassuming manner (very much unlike your own formulation in this case, which was full of innuendo and sarcasm from the get-go) -- you simply bailed:
You may not like it, but the USA has called for Irans' destruction a hundred times.
And then perhaps we'll talk.
Note please the special emphasis on "the USA", meaning an official, governmental statement or policy (not just the throwaway pronouncements of 1 or 2 of its windbag politicians). And the number "a hundred", as in, you know, 10x10, or heck, any number of roughly similar magnitude.
Being as these were, after all, the words you chose to use for some reason.
Perhaps, I care too much.
Thats great, and I'm sure you're a great person too, on the whole. I've actually upvoted a lot of your other postings (there was one in particular about "catharsis" that I stumbled on while searching for something else, which seemed right on the money and which I really liked).
It's just that, given various indications -- such as the blatant exaggeration followed by blatant evasiveness highlighted above, and the weirdly propagandistic phrasing you seem to like to use to a conspicuous degree -- I'm just not sure that, in regard to geopolitics at least, this whole factual accuracy thing is really your "bag".
If the road worker built features that specifically provided an oversized benefit to the bank robbing community in general, you’d definitely investigate the worker or construction company
My move, diet soda in a drink glass with a red straw. Bartenders will usually oblige and then it looks like you’re drinking. If you tip well and/or you tell the bartender that this is the only drink you want tonight, you can join people for rounds and “just get the same”. I read this in an interview with a big time agent who talked about tips to navigating business events with food and drink to be more effective. Eat first and fast and walk with your faux drink—your audience will be forced to listen to you and semi-immobile while they eat and will get themselves tipsy too. Sounds kinda predatory, actually, but it’s effective.
Just downloaded it this weekend and started using it casually when I’m outside. It’s truly fantastic and my toddler is super engaged with bird songs in just a few days.
