Excuse me sir, could you spare an Epipen?
  • Canadian here.

    We got 2 of them for our kid. We didn't have private insurance at the time. I think they were 50$ each. We thought THAT was expensive.

    1000$...wow... And that stuff expires quickly too.

    [USA] Presidential Debate Mega Thread
  • Yeah, so far it feels like the second option.

    But I have to admit, I'm not sure it works in his favour. He sounds nuts. More than usual. She's getting under his skin.

    I also think the quick fact checking done by the anchors (very few things so far) is really making him furious.

    That bit about pet eating immigrants was... Interesting.

    Trump Rages About ‘Deranged Jack Smith’ Filing New Jan. 6 Indictment: ‘Merely an Attempt to INTERFERE WITH THE ELECTION’
  • Let's say you had the choice between :

    1-Getting a million dollars, no strings attached

    Or

    2-Trump goes to prison for his crimes for the rest of his life

    Which one do you choose?

    A million dollars buys nice things, but I don't think it would ever come close to the joy and satisfaction I'd get from option 2.

    Biden administration releases prices of 10 drugs in Medicare negotiations, says U.S. will save $6 billion in first year
  • It's only the beginning:

    _By February 2025, the Biden administration will also unveil up to 15 more drugs that will be subject to the next round of price talks, with agreed-upon prices going into effect in 2027. Drugmakers will have until the end of that month to decide whether to participate in the program.

    After that second round, CMS can negotiate prices for another 15 drugs that will go into effect in 2028. The number rises to 20 negotiated medications a year starting in 2029.

    “Sometimes I think people get caught up in the fact that their drug isn’t on the list, but it will be on the list at some point in the future if they’re taking a drug that’s resulting in high costs,” Purvis said. _

    In US, Netanyahu Spoke of “Democracy” But Offers Indefinite Apartheid
  • To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them, to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it, to believe that democracy was impossible and that the Party was the guardian of democracy, to forget whatever it was necessary to forget, then to draw it back into memory again at the moment when it was needed, and then promptly to forget it again: and above all, to apply the same process to the process itself—that was the ultimate subtlety: consciously to induce unconsciousness, and then, once again, to become unconscious of the act of hypnosis you had just performed. Even to understand the word "doublethink" involved the use of doublethink.

  • I though it was Vientiane for a second. It isn't : they don't have tall buildings there.

    Little story about Vientiane and cats: there's a old lady that feeds the street cats twice a day, at 8 am and 5 pm. Like clockwork, about 20 cats show up 15 min before those times and just wait for her. It looks a lot like the picture, only with a lot more cats. Moral of the story: cats can precisely tell the time.

    Frenchposting (or refusing to do so)
  • I'm French Canadian. A friend of mine lives in Paris. I go to Paris fairly often. When I'm there, I speak exclusively English to anyone I don't know.

    If I speak French, my god damn native tongue, they either make sure to tell me my accent is horrendous or they reply in German. In either case, they take this condescending tone... You know the one.

    When I speak English, not only do I have the upper hand on the language, but they don't know I can understand them perfectly. Win win for me.

    Vous êtes chiants, les Parisiens.

    While almost every home owner will get a higher property bill this year, can you guess who will get to pay less?

    > According to provincial assessment figures, the city's largest industrial property, the Irving Oil refinery, has received an assessment increase of 1.66 per cent for 2024.   

    > However, under provincial government property tax rules, Saint John's 2.5 per cent property tax rate cut has to be shared equally with all property owners. That will reduce municipal property taxes collected on the refinery in 2024 by about $25,000.

    www.bbc.co.uk Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin feared dead after Russia plane crash

    The Russian private military company boss was on the passenger list of the jet which came down near Moscow.

    Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin was on the passenger list of a jet which crashed killing all on board, Russia's civil aviation authority has said.

    Earlier, Wagner-linked Telegram channel Grey Zone reported the Embraer aircraft was shot down by air defences in the Tver region, north of Moscow.

    The jet, which was flying from Moscow to St Petersburg, was carrying seven passengers and three crew.

    Prigozhin led a failed mutiny against the Russian armed forces in June.

    Grey Zone said local residents heard two bangs before the crash and saw two vapour trails.

    Tass news agency said the plane caught fire on hitting the ground, adding that four bodies had already been found.

    The aircraft had been in the air for less than half an hour, it said.
