[00:08] IsambardPrince "The spread of measles has slowed in Ontario, the province with the largest number of cases. But health professionals say the opposite is true in Alberta, and many are criticizing the provincial governments public health response. [00:08] IsambardPrince Our performance is so bad that we have more cases in a population of five million than the United States has in a population of 340 million, said Dr. James Talbot, a former chief medical officer of health in Alberta. [00:08] IsambardPrince Vaccination rates among children have fallen globally since the Covid-19 pandemic, according to a study published this month in The Lancet, a medical journal. [00:08] IsambardPrince Canada has been part of the trend. In 2021, 79 percent of children in Canada were vaccinated against measles by their seventh birthday, down from about 86 percent in 2013, according to federal data." [00:08] IsambardPrince Yes, the US overall is still at like 91.2% I read. [00:09] IsambardPrince And so of course with an aggressive viral disease, the difference between 79% and 91.2% vaccination means Alberta alone will have more Measles cases than the entire United States. [00:09] IsambardPrince While they laugh at us, somehow. [00:09] IsambardPrince They don't even have the "Some of us are uninsured." excuse like Americans do. [00:09] IsambardPrince So what's up with that? [00:10] IsambardPrince https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4u3JrTga_8 [00:10] TR Bot https://iv.ggtyler.dev/watch?v=T4u3JrTga_8 [00:11] TR Bot nyc1.iv.ggtyler.dev | Making sure you're not a bot! [00:11] IsambardPrince Is Caleb Hammer Right About "Credit Card People"? [00:11] IsambardPrince :) [00:11] IsambardPrince They're right, absolutely right, that nobody "gets rich" on credit card points. [00:11] IsambardPrince But if you have a $10,000 medical bill fall in your lap, for example, and you can pay that. [00:11] IsambardPrince If you pay with a debit card, you get $0.00 back. [00:12] IsambardPrince And if you pay with a credit card you might get $200 back. [00:12] IsambardPrince So all things being equal are you better or worse off without that $200 from that medical bill payment? [00:13] IsambardPrince If you can't pay the medical bill, don't pay it. Don't put it on a credit card because then you still can't pay it, they'll double it to $20,000 in six months, now you owe them $20,000 on an unpaid credit card instead of owing the hospital $10,000 on a medical bill. [00:13] IsambardPrince Don't put anything you cannot pay today on a credit card. [00:13] IsambardPrince It's better to just default on whatever it is, wherever it is than to put it on a 24% interest credit card and have it charge off. [00:15] IsambardPrince If you have $10,000 in delinquent medical debt, it gathers no interest, it's coded "medical" which doesn't hurt your FICO 9 or 10 scores as much as "unpaid credit card" does, and sooner or later someone will buy it and they'll take $4,000-5,000 when it's clear that's all you're offering them. [00:16] IsambardPrince When they realize that it's $5,000 or $0, they'll take $5,000. You may have to argue with them a lot because they're the dumbest people on the planet, but eventually they'll take it. [00:18] IsambardPrince One of the hosts says "You can't put your mortgage on a credit card, you can't pay your utilities." [00:18] IsambardPrince You can pay utilities with a credit card. [00:18] IsambardPrince You can pay for water, trash, electric, and phone, and they all take credit cards. [00:18] IsambardPrince They don't even charge a fee usually. [00:20] IsambardPrince In fact, our phone carrier had two $25 rebates you could only get by paying it with a credit card that year. [00:20] IsambardPrince That's 10% of the bill right there. [00:25] IsambardPrince MinceR, Now I feel pretty badass. I grabbed a chef's knife and stabbed a cockroach into the wall. [00:25] IsambardPrince Now I need to sterilize this knife in the dishwasher on hot. [00:26] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2], Humberto said he has a piece of glass on order for their window upstairs. [00:27] IsambardPrince So I'm glad nobody had to call the city this time. [00:27] IsambardPrince I was afraid winter would get here and a pipe would explode because they're in there living in a tent or something. [00:27] MinceR :) [00:30] IsambardPrince They've already destroyed my bathroom three times. [00:31] IsambardPrince If we're here long enough and my arm heals from surgery okay, I'll eventually fix that bathroom up myself I suppose. [00:31] IsambardPrince All I really need is some caulk and a caulk gun, a paint scraper, a small jar of drywall mud, and some primer and paint. [00:32] IsambardPrince Then again, I could just leave it there for them. It's just a bathroom.

[00:33] IsambardPrince I was humming the theme song to Green Acres and then ended with "squeeze squeeze". [00:33] IsambardPrince Saw peter do that on Family Guy once.

[00:58] IsambardPrince He admits he's smoking weed and Dave asked what's the most expensive thing you bought last year, and the guy said a $4,000 riding lawnmower. [00:58] IsambardPrince Okay, $4,000 is not $200,000 so there's another $196,000 around there somewhere. [00:59] IsambardPrince Someone in the comments said he's probably sending $1,000 to people on onlyfans. [00:59] IsambardPrince I joked that I always told people I've never paid for anything sex related but I'd like to think that if I did that $1,000 would buy more than some onlyfans videos. ● Aug 04 [01:36] IsambardPrince MinceR, "To increase the level of service we have upgraded the washing machine to sound like the intro to Van Halen's Hot For Teacher.

[01:50] IsambardPrince "Early Retirement is a unique variant of the .44 pistol and, unlike most unique variants in Fallout 4, has a custom appearance. It has a black receiver, a bull barrel, a reflex sight mod with two red dots under the cylinder release. No modifications will remove the revolver's black finish or cylinder release markers. The weapon also has a unique legendary effect dealing +25% damage to all synths." [01:51] IsambardPrince Each Institute Synth has a unique serial number, other than the random encounter types.

[02:05] IsambardPrince Even with android vision the resolution of an Atari game, he still managed to use a Winchester repeater to shoot the hat off that guy at several hundred yards. [02:06] IsambardPrince Purely because he was played by Yul Brynner. [02:06] IsambardPrince Take that Chuck Norris. [02:08] IsambardPrince That's sort of an odd thing for the movie to do. Show you what the android sees, which is just horrible and blocky and low res. [02:08] IsambardPrince Then show him being a gunslinger anyway. [02:08] IsambardPrince If something had vision like this, it would not be a threat at more than about 50 feet or so. [02:08] IsambardPrince What a way to ruin an otherwise good movie. [02:10] MinceR they thought general AI was closer to being achieved than VGA-resolution cameras? [02:21] IsambardPrince I guess so. [02:22] IsambardPrince It doesn't really matter if strong AI and a positronic brain happen as far as the android gunslinger, if it can't see much of anything. [02:22] IsambardPrince Without high resolution visual input, it couldn't possibly be that dangerous as a gunslinger. [02:22] IsambardPrince MinceR, I suppose it could have really great hearing though. [02:23] IsambardPrince Like, visual input is sort of a backup. [02:23] IsambardPrince But it's really tracking using echolocation with visual input as secondary.
