(10:57:38 AM) [info]zompus: Text from [info]vhg: "Uncle #8 should be named uncle that packs a lot of stuff on trips...4 suitcases + backpack + plastic bag with books."

(10:57:48 AM) [info]paparatti: 4 suitcases?

(10:57:53 AM) [info]paparatti: i didn't even emigrate with 4 suitcases

(10:57:57 AM) [info]zompus: I know.

(10:58:07 AM) [info]paparatti: i understand the plastic bag of books though

(10:58:19 AM) [info]paparatti: your uncles are entertaining

(10:58:25 AM) [info]zompus: I couldn't imagine taking that much. If you need that much clothes, better plan on finding a washer/dryer when you're over there.

(10:58:31 AM) [info]paparatti: actually, i think our uncles are very similar in that respects

My sister has an etsy now. Here it is. One can buy from her bouquets of handmade ribbon roses. She made them for our Bay Area Wedding Thingy and they were quite better than actual roses. They don't wilt, fade, drop petals, and no plant had to have its reproductive parts cut off to provide them.

So go have a look. For the plants. Won't somebody think of the plants.

Also, FREE SHIPPING.

(4:13:28 PM) [info]zompus: Tsunamis in deep ocean are actually pretty non-noticeable.

Sep. 2nd, 2009 @ 10:45 am On the healthcare buffet
Blogs that I read are busily trying to come up with analogies for the healthcare system. NPR says it's like an all-you-can-eat buffet. Another blog says it's like eating out and then splitting the bill evenly. I think those analogies miss some important points. If our healthcare system was a buffet:

-Fat people would not be let in. And if one place didn't let you in, chances are the rest won't let you in. If you are not fat but were fat in the past or had fat parents, they probably wouldn't let you in. Or they would, but once they found out they would throw you out with no refund.

-If you become fat at one buffet, and you decide (or have to) go somewhere else, they won't let you in because you were already fat.

-You could eat all you want, but if you're in the top 1% of eaters you have a 50% chance of being thrown out with no refund. In fact, the restaurant can come up with a reason to throw you out if they decide that you eat more than they were expecting.

-Most people's bosses are picking up the check (NPR does mention this). Some people with no bosses have to pay their own bill, and they pay more, for some reason.

-When they can get away with it, they charge women more to eat there than men. Because, you know, women cost more to feed.

-There's arbitrary limits on some things you can eat, like you can only eat up to 3 crab legs or 5 slices of ham.

-The cooks and employees get paid per item that the customers eat. They have incentives to provide more food. The restaurant charges per person. They have incentives to provide as little food as possible.

I'm reminded of when CoH came out, and a bunch of us came up with superheroes we would play (if we played the game). My idea was a walking double entendre "The Purple Pusher", who would be dressed up all in purple with a giant purple pimp hat. A buddy of mine who did play CoH created Thooperman, who was a gay Superman with a lisp. Someone else created The Puncher, who was dressed as a 1920's boxer with a huge handlebar mustache and a giant s^%$-eating grin, and whose character backstory said, "One day Joe Smith discovered he was really, really good at punching things."
