I thought since it is USB it didn't have drivers.

Is that always the case? Peter is a pretty big tube nut, likes tubes for everything... but he actually prefers solid state rectification. I wonder why.

Happy Birthday Buddy!

For 6H30's you've got two choices. New production Sovteks or old production Sovteks. They are identical as far as I can tell, so I'd go with new production to save money. Parts Connexion sells them. Renato [looser101] and I have tried a bunch of 6GC7's and 6GU7's in both of our amps and found that the RCA 6GU7's are the best... they are also quite cheap. You really need to see a pic of Renato's Aikido... it's a beast.

Some cosmetic surgery is covered, it is hard to say without knowing the particulars (and I'm no expert).

I saw it in theaters, advance screening. Didn't tape it, sorry.

I saw extinction last night, pretty good... you get to see Wesker a bit.

Thanks for that explanation, it clears a few things up for me. I guess you guys have it a little better than I thought, but it sounds like it would be easy for someone to fall in the area where you don't have coverage and cant afford it. That is a shame. Sort of like when I tried to get a student loan for college and was told that my Dad made too much money for OSAP even though there is no way he could spare me enough. Then I go to the bank and try to get him to cosign for a student load there... turns out they do their check differently and base it on the amount of money you have left after bills/etc. He didn't make enough to cosign for a loan. Brutal. Had to get my Mom in Alberta to cosign. EDIT: That was sort of a random story... my excuse is lack of sleep. Went to see the advance screening of RE:Extinction last night and didn't get to sleep until 2 in the morning.

Oh man, I need that shirt!

All this talk of getting treated now.n and paying later... I'm assuming you are talking about emergency room visits? Like a gunshot wound or a heart attack? What about cancer?

Really? Like what?

Um, I just thought they would both be funny drunk. Who's into gay porn? Worry about the money later? Ok.

I think somebody is taking this a little more serious than I...

Fuck that, we need to get Billy and Eaphan drunk and tape it.

Are you guys new? Every other day there is a thread like this...

I know it wasn't intended this way, but that is a great selling point: "Come to the United States, where our hospitals are incredible, but you are likely to get shot dead."

So, the hospitals get to keep more of the money in the US? I guess I can see how a Doctor would prefer to work in the US given that it is easier to get work. From the perspective of the citizen though, I think our way is preferable... or at least to the middle/lower class. Why?

From what I've seen and heard it is, but I'm not everywhere, so you very well could be right. As for the residency positions stuff, I don't really know anything about that, so I'll take your word for it. Sounds like a stupid move though, I wonder what their rational is?

Looks like you're getting started to me.

Like what? *sigh* Of course I understand the distinction. What I can't understand is how someone could possibly live without medical coverage. One visit to the hospital and you are in the poor house, no thanks. This is why I see no difference between the two... a tax, or a fee that you can choose to pay, but if you don't then you're fucked. Sorry, Canada isn't ethnically diverse? [it is quite possible I am misunderstanding what you were saying there as there were quite a few big words. ] Yep, it was a problem for a while there, and guess what? They used our tax dollars to fix it.

I've never had a problem with the hospitals here, and have had sick relatives who all received great treatment. Ok, but then you pay for it, so I fail to see how that is any different than paying taxes. Fair enough. I think your other post was poorly worded in that case. Cool, costs money though right? Man, this is a hot topic, though the discussion has veered a bit... every time I try to post there are 2-3 new posts to check.

You don't have a fucking clue what you are talking about. As for US hospitals being 'teh best', I'm sure some of them are. You've got a lot of people down there, and private businesses love to make money. Unless I am missing something, you don't have medical coverage.

I don't read fark, so your joke [i'm sure it was a good one] is lost on me.

I like whiskey too much for my own good.
