I take a bite from a chip and then dip the remainder in the salsa.
"It wasn't a double dip," I insist to the shocked-looking woman across from me.
"Who invited you to this party?"
I laugh. "No one invites me to parties," I reply.

Figured out it's an Amazon Basics microwave and looked up online how to set the clock. It turns out you hold the five key for about 4 seconds to put it into clock set mode.

It's just a button that doesn't do anything!

I'm staying at an airbnb, and there is a microwave here, and the clock is wrong on it, and there is no way to set the clock.
Isn't this a Geneva Convention violation?

If there was an Olympic sport of making foam in the urinal, I would win, unless Derick wasn’t using his dialysis machine.

It may not always be fair to characterize it as abusive power, but it's certainly sloppy and careless behaviors that are not. In the public's best interest.

It's not vast decades long conspiracy. It's a series of oscillations where one side gets power and abuses it, driving people to the other side, which gets power and abuses it, which drives people back to the other side, etc.

Lift, lift here
And a push out there
For a couple of grand tatas
That's how we keep you looking great

This led to soaring insurer stock prices and higher costs, often benefiting insurers more than patients, especially those not using care.
Nobody seems to want to fix the problem without reversing the benefits. We need more coverage, and more competition.

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) successfully reduced the uninsured rate from 14.4% in 2013 to 7.9% by 2025, expanding coverage to about 44 million people through Medicaid and subsidized Marketplace plans.

I'd rather see The Vulva Monologues than The Vagina Monologues. The latter is too deep.
