In the USA either my doctor takes the blood, or in certain cases, they have Labcorp or similar do the test (I asked and it was because they didn't have the proper vial labels to do the blood test in house). I also get copies of the test and it has the logo of the testing company.

So yes

But you HAVE to get karma for having the right opinion.

Are you actually saying that a particular aspect of the Roman economy/society is applicable to something entirely different and completely irrelevant in the modern day?

The negativity is from people who only read the title. The book content's are about skills to be friendly. Some people over index on the skills to being off-putting because it's such a popular book that many can tell when you're using "skills" from the book

Woah, you can't do that. It only requires only no effort to save money when you have tech salaries.

>In the US you have to put your hand on a Bible or equivalent when testifying in court.

No you don't. Why is this lie allowed to perpetuate?

I think maybe Srinivasa Ramanujan? Maybe not a full crackpot, but defo not worth spending time on because his work looked like Aliens came by and dropped a textbook.

I forget the quote, but one of the guys that recognized that he was worth looking into said something to the effect of "his work was too crazy for him to be crazy".

Man, its amazing how confident you are about this, considering I know individual people who independently work at Visa, Mastercard, AND Apple, who have worked on mobile payments who independently confirm that none of them know any personal info and that its all pass-through.

So, are you sure you know what you are talking about?

So no numbers?

> 29.7 Trillion on entitlements excluding social security

Convenient to exclude SS for ... no reason other than it makes your numbers look better because its a vast majority of entitlement spending so it makes your argument look bad.

May I ask you provide numbers including all entitlement spending, which includes SS?

This is what I meant by knowing what the numbers are.

Have fun comparing defense vs welfare/entitlements per year.

Link the comparison please. I already know what the numbers are

I'll bet that is less of an issue than the issue of evacuation.

Currently, aircraft seatbelts are designed for very quick release when needed with no training or muscle memory needed, shove your hand at your waist and pull the metal flap and it immediately comes apart. This seems like it could be an issue with baby carriers, since a) you can probably expect a bit more complex arrangement of straps buckles and b) lack of muscle memory or training on presumably a different style of carrier than what you ever ever use outside an airplane.

A second issue that comes to mind, how to do seating arrangements? Imagine a parent struggling to remove baby during a emergency. Imagine a 3 seat row window side, where others are stuck waiting for parent to release baby.

This seems like a certification nightmare
