Re: "Dr. Oz Prepares To Jump Into Pennsylvania Senate Race" - 20 days ago

QuoteSpeedy That’ll keep him off network TV due to equal time rules. Not at all. But equal time rules mean that his opponent gets to have equivalent airtime for every one of his daytime talk show appearances and infomercials.

Re: Big Bird got 'vaccinated' against COVID-19, drawing outrage from Republicans - 21 days ago

Quotedeckeda My question, why did it take Big Bird so long to get vaxxed? Was he doing “research?” As the article says, he's perpetually six years old. He had to wait for the CDC to approve the vaccine for children. Also: ...distribution fees and royalties make up the biggest source of revenue: $52.9 million in 2018.

Re: Trumpcare just saved me $1500 - 22 days ago

Quotekj Honestly, it's been like ten years since I read a long article somewhere about trying to find out what hospitals charge for things, how they determine what people are charged etc. It seems like a very basic thing to have a document with the fees for procedures, supplies, etc. that everyone can look at, but if it exists, I haven't seen it yet. My feeling is they just try to get the most

Re: PSA: Time Change, don't forget your... - 22 days ago

A recent software update took away my ability to manually set the clock in my car. The option simply disappeared from the settings app. It's now set automatically by GPS or cellular network, I guess. It's weird: Sometimes I start my car in a parking garage and it reads "7:00am" until I pull out into traffic.

QuoteJoeH Quotedeckeda The problem still remains it’s up to the consumer to know what to ask. “What kind of unknown charges might I see and what will they cost?” … It doesn’t sound reasonable to me.

Quotefreeradical I enjoyed this movie, but even if you think it's awful, why in the world does that one line - which is a comment from a site visitor - show up on Google like that? Probably because more people visited and linked to the comments than did the original review. Google favors popularity, not accuracy.
