No, very few highways are toll roads. Houston has 1, Austin has a couple.

Usually the biggest interstates are Federal, then smaller ones are State, then smaller ones are County or City, etc. Very few are toll, at least in the West & South US. I can’t speak for the densely populated states in the NE bc I’ve never been there.

Tribal Montanans have care through BIA. I wonder if BIA serves Tribal members anywhere in the US?

“The move could impact clubs, classes and other institutional programs but carves out an exception for campus activities required to retain accreditation.” So DEI isn’t required for accreditation. Maybe it should be? These states’ schools should lose funding or status or something.

Do you mean anyone Alaska born or Native American Alaskans?

What about Massachusetts’ Romneycare? Wasn’t that one?

Charge who? And in what form? Interstates in Texas are not toll roads. A little from fuel taxes & vehicle registrations maybe, but certainly not enough to maintain all the interstate (i.e. Federal) highways.

And highways. Those idiots have no idea how much federal funding goes to their million miles of highways.

Hmmm they’d really like more space up there, so probably. And also you should be concerned about the subject - verb agreement in your sticker.

This is clearly overseas customer service rep with a script. It happens every time I “chat with customer service” for any business at all. Or it’s an AI chat, which is equally possible.

That’s not the word. The word for that is peet. Peet or paw or beans. There is no hoof here.

A lot of times they don’t do placebo once the trial gets to that stage. My dad with cancer was a treatment guinea pig & one of the study stipulations was that they wouldn’t get placebo. Too cruel to get their hopes up. ETA: I know this one states it had placebo group. And I understand the reason for it, obviously. Just saying my dad’s experience was they promised no placebo group bc it was so late stage in testing.

They make it sound as if this is new, but this method has been studied for decades… My dad was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer in Jan of 2013. He happened to get into clinical trials that basically had him “living with cancer” for 5 years. It wasn’t until the last few months that the cancer outpaced the drugs and took over, invading his brain, then it was only a matter of a very short time before the brain cancer ruptured & killed him. But prior to that, he got 5 years. The drugs he was on??? Targeted immunotherapy including a lot of mRNA vaccine therapy. (Turns out he was a guinea pig for the technology that would be used in Covid vaccines. He always hoped his clinical trials would help future patients, he just had no idea how far reaching that would really be.)

The problem is, cancer is in essence a mutation machine, which means it quickly outpaces our ability to create the vaccines. I think we’ll get there; just going to take a while before we learn how to keep up.

Looks like GNP. Likely isn’t, but it sure looks like it. 💙 ETA: it is definitely a glacial carved valley & lake though

This is an interesting question. My husband is my ONE. Wherever he is, that’s home. We are absolutely best friends & more. We share absolutely everything & neither of us ever have to worry about the other one waking up one day & deciding to move on without the other.

I realize I’m lucky. Not every relationship is anywhere close to that. I was married before & lived with others… And I thought the “one true love” stuff & long-term monogamy was complete BS until he & I got together.

But not everyone wants the kind of relationship we have & that’s fine too. I have plenty of independent & awesome friends who have great friends, great lives, great hobbies; they adventure, travel, are fulfilled, etc etc all without an SO. Others who are in great relationships but are much more prone to doing things separately, and that’s what works for them.

So maybe if you don’t have that drive to find that relationship, maybe it’s not for you or maybe you just haven’t met the right kind of person yet. Your SO relationship can ultimately be whatever you want it to be, provided you find a partner agreeable with it. Best wishes either way!

I’m sorry. At least when it gets to negative 40 you won’t have to translate it from C to F.
