Evermore makes me so sad. All that potential and a dream that just wasn't. It's planned theming was much more my speed too.

I can't comment on fairphone, but the Discord thing is likely not your phone, it's Discord or something. The same happens to me randomly on a Pixel 6a.

And I'm saying you're wrong and completely ignoring the actions he took to address it. It was mentioned. States were to expand Medicaid in conjunction with his expanding ACA explicitly to handle situations like you brought up.

His proposed budget involves $150 billion earmarked for Medicaid explicitly to expand it to cover people in your situation where the 10 states did not expand coverage as they were supposed to after his American Rescue Plan Act in 2021 and Inflation Reduction Act in 2022. This was not 14 years ago. That was 3 and 2 respectively. And the budget is being debated currently.

He's mentioned it. He's been trying to tackle it.

I'm sorry you're in that situation, but this is wrong.

He successfully created subsidies that brought Affordable Care Plan enrollment up and brought the number of uninsured Americans down from 14.5% to 11% through the American Rescue Plan Act, which removed a cap on eligibility for subsidies above 400 percent of the poverty level and limited premiums to 8.5% income among other things.

Every action he's tried to take in the healthcare front has been blocked by others, lawsuits from drug companies, Congress, you name it. States were supposed to take increased funding and expand Medicaid access for people outside the income range for ACA at the same time as the increased subsidies. Many did. Several did not (take a guess which).

He's certainly a flawed president and I wish Democrats ran someone stronger, but this critique is provably false. He has mentioned it and tried to take actions to improve healthcare access.

Of course he could do more, but saying "no mention" is either willfully ignorant or trollish or angered exaggeration. This is on top of the health care improvements he managed to get into the Inflation Reduction Act and proposed healthcare funding in the budget he released in March (which is again supposed to expand Medicaid and Medicare).

My coffee table is also above a basement, so I'll have to reinforce the joists, and probably the whole support of the house. Eh, I'll just make a scale copy out of Styrofoam on my CNC or something.

I think the Pietà on my coffee table would be more of a conversation starter.

Even if this is lowercase and the dot on the i differentiates then the l would still be a dot.

Uh, have you had a food allergy test? Nothing in there should cause problems. It's just a regular bbq plate, but layered. Staple of the South and most don't have problems like that.

A tiramisu is a sweet lasagna. You have alternating layers of carb and sauce and cheese mixture of some kind.

A shepherd's pie is it's own unique thing as there are no alternating layers and the cheese layers are not mandatory.

The French parfait (different from what you're probably thinking) is a flipped shepherd's pie.

The American parfait is lasagna, as it's usually alternating layers of carb, fruits (with their sauce, often very jammy), and not cheese but a dairy mixture still.

It's not stated well in that article but the bill actually has an exception for secret societies to request permits to wear masks for parades and such. A Democrat state rep (forget her name) pointed out this explicitly would protect the KKK but not regular folk wanting to, say, legally protest Palestine murders, because everyone knows they would be denied permits.

Earlier versions of this bill kept failing until they added what people are calling the KKK exception.

I did an internship in a small data center. That hurt to read. Made me miss the job too.

Brings me back, Xbox live just doesn't have the same finesse in it's trash talk these days.
