This whole thread.

Catastrophic insurance ONLY works if you have the money to save in an HSA so that if you do have a catastrophe, you can pay the incredibly steep deductible, and also so that you can cover the cost of preventative care yourself. Otherwise it can still bankrupt you.

Robin Marty @robinmarty.com · 8h

The reality is that catastrophic insurance is in fact just paying for insurance AND paying for your care out of pocket in most cases. And making people avoid preventative care because of the cost is how you end up in that catastrophe.

Under Over Over - West Hampstead

So it's taken a while, but I've finally found a location where you can clearly see London Underground trains traveling over London Overground trains.

The vantage point is at West Hampstead Overground station at the end of the platform.

Gavin Newsom, who had warned that the plans to fire shells over Interstate 5 could pose hazards for motorists.

giving the "no, you go ahead" wave when you have the right of way is just as wrong as not respecting someone else having the right of way

Thanks for the Buxton love. We’ve been waiting a loooooong time for a full season from him. Josh is one of my favorites too. Every time he steals a base, it’s like watching a Fat Guy Touchdown (very complimentary). Stealing third off Skubal? Sicko type stuff.

“All my friends murdered and raped, sometimes they hung out at my house. Get over yourself.”

RFK Jr. explains why socializing with Jeffrey Epstein wasn't such a big deal for him:
...l ran into everybody in NY. I mean, I knew Harvey Weinstein, I knew Roger Ailes, I knew
-- O.J. Simpson came to my house. Bill Cosby came to my house."
