As an American, I can say one of our defining characteristics is we believe we belong everywhere on the Internet. There is no space that we are embarrassed to enter. Reminds me of the Americans showing up on Chinese social media and acting like they owned the place.
The tex there has the Greek letter chi instead of Latin x at the end and is supposed to be reminiscent of a Greek root from which we derived the word technique: techne or τέχνη. The tex there is just pronounced tech usually. The original intention I believe was for it to sound like the ch in loch or bach but that sound isn't seen in modern English(generally even in the examples I gave). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voiceless_uvular_fricative
For all the star Trek nerds: that's close to what the Klingon word gagh ends with. Gagh has a voiced uvular fricative, so just do the same without voice and just air and you'll get chi.
Not really true of all of the Levant, but largely true for Acre for the last thousand years. First the crusaders killed everybody, then the mamluks killed everybody, then after being a fishing village for a time it became a port again, Napoleon bombed it, the British used it as their prison and port and it got targeted, and then you had this. It had it worse, historically, than post roman Jerusalem.
The American system is not an unbridled free market, and that’s a good thing. It is also not central planning, either, and that’s a good thing as well.
I honestly don't see how liberals can see the results and still say shit like this. This author is very aware of exactly why the American system offers the worst of both worlds, funneling public money into private pockets with very poor levels of actual private innovation or development of new industry. But still they defend it as the perfect middle ground. "If only there was more oversight and less regulatory capture." I'm sure the defense industry, the space industry, the nuclear industry until the 80s, this research/private tech axis they're describing, and just about every other bit of privatization and public/private initiatives are just aberrations.
This focus on risk supposedly justifying rewards when we're talking about LLCs in industry directly taking loans from the government is particularly bizarre. The risk of your LLC going bankrupt and defaulting on the governments money. So brave.
Seeing a system like this, and the results it produces and then claiming it's because some shithead capitalist and his buddies are traitors to the system is fucking strange. You'd think looking at the system as a problem would be obvious.
As a primary factor, running a clinic with a population of 806 with the current payout structure of Medicare, Medicaid, and insurance companies is frankly unsustainable. It's not wrong to say the Medicaid cuts are not the primary factor, just the last straw in an already broken model. Giving service to a community that small and spread out takes state subsidies or the regional health care system eating the losses. It sounds likely this crew would be hostile to the former and are mad that the nonprofit can't continue to afford the latter as the Medicaid cuts squeeze them more.
Much of these services are offered primarily to avoid 30 day readmission penalties that CMS hits hospitals with after discharging people to areas with no follow up care. It essentially externalizes the cost of providing this care into regional health systems. But eventually they'll find other avenues, like very targeted home visits and increasing nursing home admissions, as the costs get unsustainable. And then the costs of this lack of access are externalized right back onto the community.
I get you. Saturated fat is straight and solid, but doctors want to tell everyone is saying that unsaturated fat, which is bent and runny, is better for you. It's obviously a conspiracy.
Homochirality is more of a thing with amino acids, not fats. Glycerol can swing either way without issue. Major major problem if your amino acids have the opposite orientation though.
Arthur says he doesn't know details of the burglary. They spoke briefly about it before they were married and then he forgot about what he considered a youthful indiscretion by his wife.
