Kevin Gade, COO at investment firm Bahl & Gaynor, which owns about 2.6% of UnitedHealth shares, said companies like UnitedHealth play an important role in providing critical and needed care for all patients within an inefficient U.S. healthcare system that needs to evolve.

Kevin Gade left out the important part, it’s the bullshit insurance companies that make the system inefficient. There is literally no role, critical or otherwise, for Insurance companies when it comes to matters of healthcare. Why do I need to talk to an insurance company? Let my doctor, the hospital, and myself make those decisions. Not some Executive Oligarch on the quest for more money.

The article full of all kinds of weird descriptions that seem to intentionally downplay everything. I just made a comment about them calling the Unabomber “wacky”. Interesting that they don’t call this young man an Ivy League Grad in the title but they do mention it in the article.

What strange choice of words to describe Ted Kaczynskl as “wacky”. He was a terrorist who killed people because of the destruction of the environment. So misguided or extreme might be good descriptive words but he definitely wasn’t Steve Urkle.

I grew up in West Virginia and live in Denver now and I can tell you that it’s much easier to find them in Appalachia. I don’t think they exist as a thing in Denver and one place I saw selling pepperoni rolls was selling them as a pinwheel/cinnamon roll type and that’s not what I think of as a pepperoni roll.

Honestly they’re quick and easy to make and taste so much better when fresh. I buy frozen bread dough from the grocery store, let that defrost and rise. Once risen, break off pieces of the dough, and stuff with store bought pepperoni and a 2:1 mixture of mozzarella and cheddar cheese, ensuring that the fillings are contained inside the dough. Bake following the instructions on the package of dough, usually about 20-25 minutes on 350 or until golden brown on top.

The comedy/history podcast, The Dollop, did an episode on this a few years ago that I usually listen to around this time of year.

For which game? I haven’t played Hogwarts yet but I just scaled up the UI for Against the Storm and have no issues reading the text.

According to a new press release issued by Patrick, "retailers exploited the [state's] agriculture law to sell life-threatening, unregulated forms of THC to the public and made them easily accessible."

Damn how strong is the weed in Texas if it’s life threatening? To add to that, if they’re worried about life threatening substances they better get to work banning alcohol too.

P.S. Nothing says Freedom^TM^ like a ban.

I bought Against the Storm a few weeks ago and that has taken most of my gaming time. Just bought Hogwarts Legacy from the sale, I’ll probably fire that up sometime soon.

I’m in the south of France, and people from France, England, Dubai, Serbia, Canada and Colombia have come up to tell me they can’t believe what is happening in America… They want Trump.

Fuck this guy with every square foot of housing he is hoarding.

It’s really funny when they whine about outside money. I didn’t see the GOP up in arms as Citizens United passed, I don’t see them upset when they SuperPACs give money to their campaigns so it seems they only care when it affects them, big fucking shocker there….

So he’s offering that money to name it after himself?

I’m not even clicking on that link, I never click on stuff with that turd’s name on the headline, just wanted to make the joke.
