Hopefully this will get people to at least try out their local independent coffee shops. Nice little holiday boost for them, maybe some converts.

- Comment on Good morning it's very cold so let's make some soup. 1 week ago:
You can do ironed cheese sandwiches,* so they get plenty hot, but most modern irons will turn themselves off if they’re not moving for more than a minute.
*Assemble the sandwich on top of a generous piece of aluminum foil, heavy duty if you have it: butter on the outside, cheese on the inside, sourdough with cheddar is excellent but white bread with American is what the kids expect. (Don’t get too creative with additions until you have a good sense of how long to melt the middle without burning the outside.) Bring up two foil edges and fold that seam at least twice, making it flat as possible against the sandwich and able to channel any escaping butter towards the ends rather than just seeping down onto the ironing board. Then fold the ends as well. Maybe you better put a second piece of foil on your ironing board just in case. Put the iron on top heat but turn off the steam. Iron the sandwich on both sides, starting with the seam side and then doing the bottom, until it smells toasty and delicious. Only move the iron enough to hit all the corners and also keep it from turning off, and don’t press hard.

I imagine you mean they won’t, and you may be right. But too many people don’t even start trying to fight denials, which is why insurance companies do it. Often it doesn’t take a huge pushback to get them to change, especially if it would expose their corrupt practices. Of course, sometimes they are obdurate, and United Healthcare is one of the worst.
As for the ACA, it’s still true, at least until Trump takes office.
- Comment on Anon reads the news 1 week ago:
Because of the ACA (Obamacare) requirements, he can’t be refused or charged more for coverage because of a pre-existing condition.
Whether that insurance denies claims for treatment, however, is still very much in play. I’ve heard you should ask the names and certification of the person or people responsible for the denial of your claim, in writing. Because a lot of the time it’s an algorithm or an unqualified peon, and the company can get in trouble for that.
- Comment on When leftists say "landlord are parasites" or similar dislike of landlords, do they also mean the people that own like a couple of houses as an investment, or only the big landlords? 1 week ago:
Exactly, buying and selling homes is a lot more time-consuming than ending and starting a lease. Also as an owner you have responsibility to declare/disclose any major problems to the buyer. If you’re just moving out of a rental you may never even meet the next tenant. Rentals are always going to be a necessity, and people like your aunt are often the nicest people to rent from.
- Comment on This spoon. 1 week ago:
Those are bouillon spoons. I prefer to eat with them all the time, but I have teaspoons and Tablespoons as well. You could look on this as a gifting opportunity rather than bitching.
- Comment on Alright I'll do it. But I'm gonna complain the whole time. 2 weeks ago:
It’s sunny where I live but I need to stay home for other reasons. I finally got an under-desk treadmill and put it facing a window, with the option of watching my laptop screen. The desktop serves the purpose of being grabbable if I lose balance. Not only don’t I have to face the elements, I don’t give a shit what I look like. Sweaty af, no bra, old holey clothing, flabby old sagging skin, no worries. No uneven pavement either. I’ve never found exercise to do a damn thing for my mental health, but it’s necessary for physical health. And at least I’m not worried about twisting an ankle a mile from home.

- Comment on how do you workout when you don't have much time? 2 weeks ago:
Sounds like your regular workout is mostly cardio and legs. So maybe the days you don’t have time would be good for some upper body and core strength building.

Yep!
And every decent parent makes sure their kids get them.
- Comment on Causes of Death in London (1623) 2 weeks ago:
Toddlers and Kindergartners basically, still teething. Of whatever cause, too many and too difficult to tell.
- Comment on Causes of Death in London (1623) 2 weeks ago:
Not sure, but I’m guessing part of the reason to specify the difference between “infants” and “Chrisomes” (baptized babies) might be to say where they’d be buried/where their souls would go.
- Comment on Causes of Death in London (1623) 2 weeks ago:
Could be pain in the sciatic area that was actually caused by something else, like septic kidneys or an internal tumor
- Comment on Causes of Death in London (1623) 2 weeks ago:
Childbed for one, by washing hands before shoving them up in laboring women’s vaginas.
Pressing to death by not torturing people
You can prevent a lot of Chrisomes and Teeth deaths (infants and toddlers and kindergartners) by routine vaccinations.
Then of course there’s basic safety standards and antibiotics.
- Comment on Causes of Death in London (1623) 2 weeks ago:
“Teeth” actually meant “a child who’s still teething.” As with “chrisomes and infants,” so many little ones died that often they were categorized by age rather than a specific cause. Probably the only reason to specify “overlaid, and starved at nurse” would be to blame and punish the wet-nurse.

Yes
An example:
(I looked up “human composting” and Google knows I live in California, ymmv)
- Comment on When you die, what do you want to be done with you? 2 weeks ago:
I had planned on (organ donation first of course, but then) cremation, mostly to make my leftover remains easier and cheaper to deal with. Lately I’ve heard about rapid-composting, which is supposed to be more environmental. So that might be good. But it might be more expensive, in which case back to the plan.

You might want to see if ice breakers gum would satisfy your addiction, since you could chew a single one for a lot longer than a minute lasts.
- Comment on Anon gets home from a long day at work 3 weeks ago:
They should have left a path on the left side as you go up. Reason being it’s easier to balance going up than going down, and the majority of the population has a stronger right hand to grip the rail.
