    Golfers - how do you play this?

    I was responding to the comment, "I'm not sure why people get upset because the course is slow, enjoy the day". I get upset because 1 group makes the pace of play slow for the entire course. My country club has a cart with your tee time programed. It's great. That round we went from 9 minute...

    Golfers - how do you play this?

    I shoot 55 on 9 holes. Once of those might be an 8 stroke par 3 that I put into both water and sand. Two of those holes may be pars. I've gotten good enough that if I execute a perfect swing which I do 20% of the time, I'll drill some dudes in front of me. 20% of the time I may hit a drive...

    Golfers - how do you play this?

    Completely disagree. I shoot 55 on nine holes and can keep up with bogey players. It the guys who fiddle **** around wagging their ***, checking range, wind, take three practice swings, etc that kill the game. Perfect example was a group I played behind last weekend. Two guys would hit their...

    Ready to fill your car with Iranian gas this summer?

    Pretty similar, here in Kansas. I pay 0.138 per kWH for solar. I buy 2700 KWH per month. In summer I go over and the "carbon" rate which is coal around here is $0.10 per kWh. We heat with gas in winter so use less energy. I rarely get below 2500 unless we have a super warm spring month like...

    Ready to fill your car with Iranian gas this summer?

    Try again slick, I pay higher energy rates as part of a co-op which subsidized the cost of building solar panels.

    Effing schools are indoctrinating our children

    They also allowed slavery so my guess is you would prefer to go back to that?

    Health Care Technology and End of Life Issues

    I should also comment that we pay top dollars for drugs with minimal results. These 100K cancer treatments with 3 month to live is BS. Now when people see the 100K for Hep C antiviral therapy, they say the drug companies are profiteering on what could be a fatal illness. I say no way. They...

    Health Care Technology and End of Life Issues

    First, I'm sorry you lost your brother in law. If he was watching his kid graduate, I imagine he was relatively young. Most would agree, those dying early is perhaps, a different conversation. Those types of cases, are viewed differently by society. Certainly, no offense is intended and I...

    Health Care Technology and End of Life Issues

    I was more implying we should do the right thing as society and have hard core discussions about death. Either we shouldn't entertain paying for it or have some sort of cap. Hell, we can't even say what a person died from in their obituary- suicide, cancer, drug overdose, etc. "He died of a...

    Health Care Technology and End of Life Issues

    Completely disagree. You know who defers the most care and dies earlier, physicians. We've seen the hell people get put through. Most don't choose it. https://news.weill.cornell.edu/news/2016/01/study-physicians-choose-less-intensive-end-of-life-care-than-general-public

    Health Care Technology and End of Life Issues

    This is 100% correct. Or my other favorite is keep them alive for another week and then we can withdraw care. I think I can get there in 3-4 days at 200K+ for ICU care.

    Health Care Technology and End of Life Issues

    The debate I always pose: At one point there were 5, end stage prostate cancer treatments that each gave about 3 months of additional life but each cost 100K. They are not equal years as it's cancer so the longer they go, the more deterioration there is over the last few months of life. I...
