We spend billions looking for life on other planets.
David Attenborough has spent his entire life showing us the life on this one.
Both matter. Only one is irreplaceable.
Happy 100th.
.@cityburlington I just pulled the filter on the right after 6 months of filtering incoming city water. When compared to the new one on the left, there is significant iron oxide sediment. Seems like more than there should be for municipal water system.
@realsassysally@CruisinSoozan@Chapmans_Canada My freezer is currently stocked with three different Chapman's products. Always our go-to brand. And, they're "local" to me - about 2 hrs north.
Their candy cane ice cream sandwiches are amazing.
@10SpeedJohnny@violetkathyw@fuckyouiquit The only "stipulation" is you can't visit more than one Dr per day and have it covered (ER not included, that's a separate category)
@bigbluedave1@violetkathyw@fuckyouiquit There's no rationing of care. Our healthcare system is stressed to the breaking point. Because it's free, it's abused. People call an ambulance for minor ailments a walk-in clinic could handle. There is also a country-wide Dr shortage.
@violetkathyw@fuckyouiquit That's somewhat true but not as bad as you're lead to believe. If you're truly sick, your wait is much shorter. Yes, there are cases that slip through and you read about them. But having had numerous very sick family members, they got excellent and rapid treatment. At no cost.
@violetkathyw@fuckyouiquit I also have health and medical benefits provided by my employer. That's about $60 per month. It covers prescriptions, dental, various paramedical services, mental health, etc...
@violetkathyw@fuckyouiquit Taxes. In Ontario, Canada, we pay $900/year in taxes, specifically towards health care. The rest of the funding is taken from general taxation (income tax, sales tax, etc...) But specific for health care, off my paycheque, is $900.
@jbaumann035@MomOnFire I certainly can. I just didn't like either the character or the writing. You just don't agree with me. I'm not alone in my opinion, just like others who revere the book are not alone in their opinion.
