  • I mean, yes...

    But at 1/30,000 , they should say "get the second test... but be SUPER CAREFUL on the drive", since at 1/30000 you're still an order of magnitude more likely to die in an MVA.

  • Everyone was the "same" r/all before. They're talking about "personal interests".

    They're about to go full Tik Tok and show content as a function of your prior engagement.

  • I'd even be interested in a parent of a 5 year old who's been at daycare for 4 years.

    It's my suspicion that a second, later-in-life battering of a person with respiratory illnesses is in some part responsible for the longer average lifespan of parents. I expect the effect would be more pronounced if somehow parenting didn't come with all the anxiety and stress, which I expect is a negative pressure on average lifespan.

  • The pictures you got for your story are a result of plagiarism.

    I'm not actually making a value judgement. If they make you happy, that's great and im happy for you.

    Kinda like how diamond engagement rings make people happy. You gotta accept how that sausage was made

  • I live in Canada, so things get a lot less complicated around medical bills, specifically.

    Where things get really dicey, money-wise is around if you can't work due to injury.

    I think the minimum personal liability you have to carry is a million, but it's pretty common to have 2 million.

    Even at that, IMO it's still not really enough. If you mashed someone up so bad they can't work anymore, even a full unadulterated 2 million isn't going to square a lifetime of lost income.

    I'm not coming out here to say Insurance is great. Just that if we're going to talk about the issues. I just think we owe it to ourselves to understand it well enough to have clear critism based on reality. I was concerned that some of the previous posts weren't communicating reality clearly (possibly more to do with my own reading as opposed to thier writing).

  • I'm not sure if either of your points are quite right.

    The first is that auto insurers aggressively fight suits. I think they're generally settled quickly. Lawyers are brutally expensive, a sustained fight very quickly becomes more expensive than a payout.

    The second is the notion that an individuals lifetime premium payments are capping the injury payout in order for an insurer to stay in the black. That isn't the gamble insurers are making. Their bet is that MOST of thier drivers won't end up with a massive liability, which is why they can payout an individual liability far in excess of that person's lifetime payments and still stay comfortably in profit.

  • I grew up in the far north, winters were very long and very dark. Every kids jacket had prominent reflective materials.

    I still look for that when I get a winter jacket.

  • I thought one of the reasons you have vehicle insurance is precisely so that if you hit someone, they can sue you and you can't just weasel out of it by declaring bankruptcy?

  • The difference between now and 18 months ago is that the shape of the dems had already formed. The groups on the different tracks were already tied down.

    Who is the 2028 candidate?

    There is time now to pressure the dems to pull Palestine off thier leg of the track.

    It isn't the trolly problem... yet.

  • Alberta separation: Survey shows Canadians believe U.S. would support independence

    Jump

  • It's fair and appropriate for you to be urging caution, and to be sharing how high the stakes are. I do sincerely appreciate it.

    I had a buddy in Finland telling me AB separation is making news... in FINLAND.

    In an era of a crazy doom news cycle, I just want to try and put this one to bed. This particular story isn't worth the sweat, especially with all the other things that are.

    And who knows. Maybe something will take a left turn and suddenly this becomes realer. Just right now, it isn't.

  • Greenland polling had twice as many people in definitive support for joining the US than AB has of becoming independent. Nobody was interpretating that result as a "close enough to be concerned".

    It's also worth noting, that since the USA has piped up on the topic of AB separation, support for separation has actually gone down.

    I'm not necessarily trying to diminish your stance, only trying to put it into a more global perspective.

    People making Brexit comparisons... I don't think it's a reasonable comparison based on the popular concept of identity. While the benefits of membership were contentious between stay/leave camps, "identity" was not really a factor... across the board, a negligible amount of anyone, stay or leave, saw the EU as part of thier identity. Identity is complex in the UK as it stands, are you more British, Welsh, English? A londoner? There already was less competitive identity space for an EU identity.

    In contrast, Albertans broadly identify as Canadian. Even in the slivers of percentages of people who aren't fully committed to staying, it's still high. To leave would mean sacrificing part of thier identity. When push comes to shove, that's generally a non starter, regardless of the topic.

    There will be no separation. Honestly, I'd be surprised if it even manages to get to the point of referendum. The referendum would be AT LEAST a supermajority "stay". You can't Sabre rattle once you've shown the world you have no Sabre. The leverage afforded by the threat is the political value. Why throw one of your best political tools in the garbage?

  • Just because it's not confusing to you, because you have access to additional context, doesn't mean it isn't intrinsically confusing.

    What is written is essentially "go online to go offline".

    I frequently ask my people to shout out thier ideas to brainstorm. "The first idea will be the worst. We'll iterate on it. Let's get the worst idea out quickly"

    This message smacks of "the first, worst, idea"

    I'll propose a second idea:

    "Sign in to decrypt offline files"

    Is it good? Still no. Is it better? Probably. What would you propose as a third iteration?

  • AB separation is such a non story.

    "Definitely leave" is at 8%

    "Definitely stay" is at 57%.

    Even if all "lean leave" "lean stay" and "unsures" magically end up saying "leave", there is still a healthy majority saying stay.

    Nobody should be talking about AB separation as if it's a serious thing.
