maybe he was lured to the Blue Oyster Club and had a grudge

what's more impressive is that 29% of the audience gave the wrong answer

this guy died too. but his legend will live on

"The melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya" did it before it was cool

i got a new case for my pc this Saturday because the old one was OLD... like 2005 old and it didn't fit the CPU cooler so i had it open for almost 2 years now. the new had 3 intake fans but no fan to push out the hot air. at first i thought to just move an intake fan to the back but then i decided it will ruin the looks so i ordered a new fan for the back which was supposedly in stock but it took them till today to notify me to go get it. its impressive how much of a difference a good exhaust fan makes, something i had forgotten with the open case

every system has its pros and cons. the problem as i, an outsider, see it in USA is the "muh freedom" mentality that corporations make extensive use of to rile up people against any attempt by the government to put their corporate greed on a leash. every time the US government tries to reign in the greed of corporations for the sake of the population, these corporations engage in long and costly misinformation campaigns in the media to convince the population that their freedom is at stake and set them against the government. this has created a situation where the average american has to juggle 10 torches while riding and unicycle and trying to navigate through a pack of wolves to get a normal life, convinced that anyone who claims he wants to help is after his freedom but that's just my thoughts as someone who never lived there

i don't personally know how things work in USA but all i see around are reddit posts like this and news reports of similar nature. they all talk about people going bankrupt because of healthcare costs so i make the assumption that the cost is prohibitive for the average person

most of the reports i've seen around on youtube from clips of US news and talk shows, talk about how people there go bankrupt because of medical expenses and how insurance companies are preferring to fly people to mexico to buy their medication because a round trip is cheaper than paying for meds on USA. they say that even for people with a well payed job, paying that 20-25% copay part is at times costing more than they make in a year if they come down with something serious and need to be hospitalized.

lets have a price comparison to see how far off the mark i am. a panoramic x ray of your teeth in a private lab costs 20-25 euros here (just under $30) and its the full price with no cover from health insurance. how much does it cost in USA? to make the comparison more apples to apples, i'll include the minimum wage which is 3.5 euro/hour

considering that a simple check up in USA could cost as much as a month's wages, its quite a big decision to have one. for most americans it's much more economic to get a plane ticket, fly to europe for vacation, have a full check up and get any medication they may need then fly home.

that was me while unemployed. now i'm out of balance because i work but i don't have a life
