  1. I don't know much about their system in terms of care, but I do know the French have their own problems with public and private funding not unlike our system.
  2. I don't know what your experience is with medicine here and medicine abroad but that statement is the complete opposite of my experience and the experiences of my family members. And I'm one of the lucky ones - I'm English but have dual American citizenship. So I have NHS when we go back and am also covered by our BCBS PPO plan. I was diagnosed with a rare disease 15 years ago that's seen me land in more doctors' offices than I care to remember, both here and abroad. The pathway to seeing a specialist here is simpler and so much faster than seeing a specialist in the UK. I would chalk it up to me having good luck here and bad luck there, but my family (who all still live in the UK) have worse stories about long wait times, convoluted processes, and inferior medical care. My BIL died under the knife during an outpatient surgery in London. You can talk about the role insurance plays here but when it comes to actual care there's no better place in the world to be sick.
  3. Why's that a bad thing?
  4. I'd guess the overwhelming majority of their business is takeout.
  5. I ended up selling gold instead. Will watch what silver does and sell if it doesn't break out. Hopefully gold will pull back and I'll get a chance to buy back.
  6. Thinking of selling private mint silver rounds and 90% coins. What would be a good price for them? And what's the best value if I were to roll them to gold? Eagles, Krugerrands? Maple leafs?
  7. That sounds like a terrible experience. Where were you headed?
  8. Interesting. Hasn't been my experience.
  9. https://weatherstar.netbymatt.com/ Enter your zip code
  10. "The brush fire was suppressed by fire crews but continued to smolder underground before high wind caused it to surface and spread nearly a week later, "causing what became known as the Palisades Fire, one of the most destructive wildfires in Los Angeles City history," acting U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli said during a press conference on Wednesday. Rinderknecht has been charged by criminal complaint with destruction of property by means of fire. He was arrested on Tuesday near his residence in Florida and is scheduled to make his first court appearance in Orlando federal court on Wednesday, officials said." How are you gonna hold someone responsible for a fire that firefighters put out a week before it reignited?
  11. Fat Tire Bike Tours are the best. I dunno how they find their guides but they always hit. My sister was in Paris also but in 2005 with McCombs PPA. My parents couldn't reach her for 12 hours and called the embassy to get someone to track her down. Luxembourg Gardens and the boats on the lake - felt like a scene out of Madeleine no? Brilliant idea about the AI scavenger hunt, we should've done that. Our 7 yr old got bored at the museums quicker than the others. Other than the pastries and crepes, what meal did your kids like best? I don't know that our kids had one specific meal they liked most but their must have item at every restaurant quickly became escargots.

    Burgers

    That's the one. I never had anything else from there b/c it was so good.

    Burgers

    Anyone remember a burger place at 2244 and 360 from the mid 2000s? They had the best jalapeno burger and they didn't last long past 2008 but I can't remember their name.
  14. I'd be very surprised (but happy) if we kept fewer than five on that list.

    Cart Narcs

    Only one with cart locks in Austin I know of is the HEB at Lamar and rundberg
  16. Bowen's Dobby was the best thing he's ever done
  17. I don't think they will. Florida was getting home rushing four against our 5 + tight end.
  18. Are you guys watching this on your phone on mute? You're missing some very obvious things.
  19. Woof Mueller kids gonna be zoned to Northeast
  20. How much is it now? Have they changed the price?
  21. Funny thing is his exact words for why he chose that time were "very very intentional".
  22. I don't think they're closing the schools but it sounds like they're moving the programs to other campuses that have those demographics in the neighborhood.
  23. Any guesses what Austin ISD is gonna do tomorrow?
