  1. This thread could use a name change to reflect reality -- WTF are you doing health insurance industry?
  2. Or another way to look at it is that the US citizens -- and only US citizens -- are exploited by big pharma to pay for their extensive worldwide profits. R&D expense in the industry averages 17% of revenue per investopedia and 20% per Statista. Good lord. I'm pretty sure insulin is OTC but the pharma cartel charges some people $100 a month for just that one med. And that's just one example. The game has changed in OTC and that's one reason why Mark Cuban can make a profit selling some generics at a barebones price. "All pharmaceutical profits are derived from innovation whether new targets or simply improved side effect profiles, method of delivery, etc." Literally lol. You are so convinced at the thoroughness of your own expertise but you really should have a complete re-think.
  3. Seems like a pretty, pretty bad day for your computers to not be able to calculate weight and balance requirements on all of their flights.
  4. WSJ article: Amazon bought MGM Studios in large part because MGM owned the rights to the James Bond movies. But the owners of the James Bond IP think Amazon Studios is run by fuckin' idiots so she won't greenlight a new Bond movie, spinoff or tv show. WSJ https://archive.ph/60GWW
  5. They're all over. The great majority of jalapenos are purchased by commercial food processors. They wanted consistency in the spice level of jalapenos. TAMU's solution was to take away the spice.
  6. So does Texas have to pay Kern to stick around through the playoffs? Sorry bud we just replaced you.
  7. IT reporting that Helobius snagged one "D"
  8. This was the best season of Slow Horses and it's Apple's best show by far imo. Watched Wolfs and probably the most surprising thing about it was that Clooney and Pitt didn't fuck at the end. It's one of those cute little romance films where the 2 main characters pretend to not like each other. The latest season of Acapulco is another show that's really bad. The only other two shows in my queue right now are S2 of Tehran and Blitz. Other shows I will check out are Criminal Record, Bad Monkey, Afterparty, Presumed Innocent.
  9. Wait...Helobius wants those guys?
  10. Adding: Oprah's sofa.

    New Music 2024

    Lucinda Williams Sings the Beatles Abbey Road is pretty damn good. The guitars are on fire and the contrast of her voice with the pop tunes is great. Most songs connect but not all. "I'm Looking Through You," "Rain" "While My Guitar Gently Weeps," and "With a Little Help From My Friends" are among the standouts. The production is outstanding and she manages to bring a wonderful freshness to songs we've all heard a million times.

    RIP Toni Price

    What a shame. She was great, should've been a big star.

    When we found a long-term furnished rental we used Foxtons. They have short-term, as well. I'm guessing you already know this but "Let" or "Lettings" are the words you'll want to use.
  14. go fuck yourself posting troll bullshit here
  15. Bolden showing out. Good lord
  16. Would've mattered because Golden caught it but it appears all PI's are not going to be called equally today.
  17. Kirby's? Could be his sister Kendall or Karl, his brother.
  18. The triple option. Thank you NIL.
  19. NIL opportunity.
  20. FUCK YES. Hook 'em!
