  1. Which is why he wants to join the Trump administration and the rest of the He-Man Woman Haters Club
  2. Totally smothered the wins, even. That would be about the worst way to die. It would rank right up there with curious shark encounter leading to feeding frenzy.
  3. Well, i’ve seen fire and I’ve seen rain. Parliament poop so much, I thought it would never end…
  4. like most evaluations, the pricing should consider the number of users over a time Period. If it cost $1 billion to bring the drug to market, then charging $1000 per treatment for the 100 patients who use the drug once a year to cure the very rare disease is unreasonable. in fact, under that scenario, I very much doubt they would approve the $1 billion effort in the first place. On the other hand, if the drug will be sold to 1 million people who will use the drug monthly - and be charged the same $1000 - a $1000 retail price would be unconscionable. naturally, the problem is thinking that a blockbuster billion dollar earning drug will result in voluntary price reduction once it becomes a blockbuster. That could be seen as a violation of the board’s fiduciary duty to the shareholders. if they have to choose between shareholders and patients, they will always fuck the patients. It’s a feature not a bug.
  5. There is usually more things wrong with my post than spelling
  6. I will trade your loss to Ohio State to get in the championship game for our win over Tulane in a bowl whose name I can’t remember. It must be like women and childbirth - the pain of numerous sucky seasons is instantly forgotten once your team gets its act together and is good again and close to championships. if Sark continues recruiting like he has, the occasional bad play calling won’t matter because your Jimmy’s and Joe’s will overwhelm the opposition.
  7. every state has different laws which gives their insurance commissioners different powers to control things like premium prices and ability to cancel policies. My gut reaction is to make a claim because that is exactly what you’ve been paying for - to compensate you when an event like this happened. And as a practical matter, if your insurer is thinking of bailing, you might as well make your claim before they do as you would need to find a policy with another company anyway. But on the main, your insurer cannot cancel you because you made a legitimate claim with an undeniably recognized insurable threat and no fraud was involved. Plus, I would just assume that California has more consumer laws than other states.
  8. far greater than my situation. But for the small amount of money involved, a threat of litigation usually means some supervisor will finally be notified, and Chase will drop it.
  9. he was probably thinking about arch almost getting that first down when he ran to the right when Ohio State thought we were going at the middle
  10. she might’ve been gnawed and she might’ve been bit, likely left out food brought from her daughter The grizzlies all say they’d avoid Whitefish Bay - but the trash and the fruit gave them boners
  11. You’re typing fingers to God’s eyes. I saw the new fire map outline - and heading east - and thought the worst. I guess the good news is as long as it’s not hurricane strength wind the air support will be able to drop water and fire retardant. I can’t imagine that reinforcements from other mountain states would not be rolling in to help fight the fires. I’m very glad you found a house to reside in until you regroup.
  12. fuck. I have a sibling who lives near the 405 and Ventura in Sherman Oaks
  13. it’s always easier to be blown out than to lose a game you could’ve won. And you can talk about chances lost through overthrows, or holding calls not called, but when the smoke clears, the national champion should be able - with four downs - to make 2 yards.
  14. I’m glad Herbie put that bullshit hold on attention
  15. fify
  16. that is how it works when there’s no litigation involved. In this case, I sued them and settled with them, then received the check -which they endorsed and I deposited it in my account. So now they want the inspector to “check the insurance adjusters report have done all the repairs.”. The problem is State Farm said I needed no repairs. I was given money to end the litigation. When I ask them exactly what document their inspector is going to use to check that the money was spent properly, they stare at me blankly. I just notified them they are very close to me suing them for negligent inflection of emotional distress over this - so we’ll see what happens. The first three Chase employees I spoke with were not aware that attorneys have a lien on the proceeds that primes chase. The only reason I’m communicating with them is to put everything in writing in case they do something stupid in the future. Then I’lI have my exhibits in place.
  17. whoever drafted it on our part did a great job, because we really promised nothing about sovereignty and ownership
  18. I feel ya. Chase bank is driving me crazy. They have a procedure for getting your insurance company checklist of damage along with the check. The bank holds the check until you do the work and then they reimburse you. In my case, State Farm said they owed me absolutely nothing and all of the damage was pre-hurricane Ida. So I sued them. I claimed attorney fees, bad faith, penalties expert fees, filing fees, interest, etc.. the case was removed to federal court where in that district, you can’t do any discovery and you have to sit around for a year to have a court ordered mediation. So I went to mediation where they repeated that they owed me nothing. Five hours later, we walked out of mediation with the case settled. The only document is one page that says they give me X to go away. There is no judgment or even an informal agreement about what parts of My Home were damaged by the storm. Basically, the cost of defending the federal lawsuit was x- and so they paid me less than X just to leave them alone. getting through to the higher-ups who know how to handle litigation proceeds has been a pain. And while I know they need to protect their interest, I have about 70% equity in my house, so even if I spent the settlement money on hookers and blow their property value is totally protected in the event they need to foreclose in the future. I hate banks
