[22:02]	IsambardPrince	My psychiatrist's office says they are in-network with Medicare Advantage plans.
[22:03]	IsambardPrince	Original Medicare is becoming more of a liability than it once was.
[22:03]	IsambardPrince	Especially with what they've been doing to the Prescription Drug plans.
[22:04]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, The Trump Administration says that their on hold times with Social Security are lower than ever.
[22:04]	IsambardPrince	I got through to someone almost immediately who didn't know what I was talking about and gave me the wrong answer in August.

[22:13]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, Someone in Florida was recently arrested for using Claude "AI" as a personal diary.
[22:13]	IsambardPrince	She told it she wanted to shoot up a police station.
[22:13]	IsambardPrince	So it alerted the police and they arrested her for making a credible terroristic written threat.
[22:13]	IsambardPrince	Which is a felony that can result in 3-5 years in prison.
[22:14]	IsambardPrince	Dear diary, BANG BANG!!!!

[22:15]	IsambardPrince	:)
[22:17]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, Eichorst in The Strain said that the 5 rounds the Mauser k98 could hold was the "one flaw with that rifle".
[22:17]	IsambardPrince	He's actually wrong.
[22:18]	IsambardPrince	Sending German soldiers out into a meat grinder of an industrial war with a bolt action rifle that was slow as hell was the second major flaw.
[22:18]	IsambardPrince	The American M-1 Garand was a better rifle. It was not as accurate, it was less powerful, but you loaded the five rounds and it was semi-auto.
[22:19]	IsambardPrince	It would make a "clang" noise when the clip was depleted so you could pop in another one.
[22:19]	IsambardPrince	In close range I'd much rather have an M-1 than a k98.
[22:20]	IsambardPrince	Err, 8 rounds was an option as well for the Garand.
[22:21]	IsambardPrince	Bolt action means that there's a huge penalty for missing with the k98, because you cannot immediately fire another round.
[22:23]	MinceR	:>
[22:27]	MinceR	strange, the Garand tends to be remarkably accurate in the video games i've encountered it in
[22:27]	MinceR	maybe at those ranges the difference doesn't matter

[22:58]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, You can take a k98 in those Call of Duty games, but it's a last resort in my opinion, in case you can't get more ammo for the M1.
[22:59]	IsambardPrince	There's plenty of k98s and ammo to scavenge from all the dead Germans that were using it.
[22:59]	IsambardPrince	:D
