What is a snack or drink that you absolutely love, but dont have access to where you live? by TIT5MAGEEin AskReddit

[–]AxisOfAwesome 0 points1 point ago

they're not illegal at all - I've bought them in New York City and now that I live in San Francisco I can walk down the street and buy kinder eggs. You just have to visit a major metropolitan area, go to any vaguely ethnic or european grocery store, and they'll be by the counter with all the other kinder stuff,.

I left a dozen hard boiled eggs out of the refrigerator for 12 hours in 65°F-ish temperatures. Are they safe to eat? by guacamole23in Cooking

[–]AxisOfAwesome 2 points3 points ago

if you have a habit of refrigerating your eggs and live in a developed country, you will possibly go your entire life without encountering a rotten egg.

I'm 30 and live in the US, and I've never had eggs go bad on me. In other countries they're not even refrigerated at the store.

What does r/medicine think about the supreme court's impending ruling striking down the Individual Mandate? by weasler7in medicine

[–]AxisOfAwesome 0 points1 point ago

I'm standing with the SCOTUS on this one - a mandate for an individual to buy insurance from the existing insurance companies is unconstitutional.

A public option is the only answer to the mess that is America's health care system. If that leads to the death of the Health Insurance industry, so be it.

Why all women should be encouraged to get the HPV Vaccine. by mag_starin medicine

[–]AxisOfAwesome 3 points4 points ago

Everyone should be encouraged to get this vaccine, regardless of age or gender.

We are, in our time, dealing with a pandemic of viral cancers that many people are not willing to talk about, because they are sex-related. It's not a moral issue people, it's a public health catastrophe.

What precedent would there be to overturn all of Obamcare if the mandate is found unconstitutional? by ketenin PoliticalDiscussion

[–]AxisOfAwesome 2 points3 points ago*

we weren't. I have never been ok with the idea of a public mandate to buy insurance, and neither have my liberal (democratic-socialist) family members and friends. But we don't exist in the current political climate in America. Obama used the carrot-on-a-string of public health care to get our votes, and when he was elected, all of our concerns were quietly swept under the rug to please the insurance lobby.

Obama and the Democrats in power (except for a few token few, Sanders and Kucinich come to mind) are pretty far right from what progressives in this country want. This is no big secret, but I do love ranting about it.

[–]AxisOfAwesome 1 point2 points ago

that's the feeling I got from what the court was saying about ObamaCare. How awesome would it be if the democrats waited until this bill was overturned and pushed through a public option healthcare plan in it's wake?

too awesome to be true, unfortunately

She's a fox. In French, she would be called "la renarde" and she would be hunted with only her cunning to protect her.

The other day I was looking for sleep aids and realized that Tylenol PM is just tylenol + diphenhydramine (benadryl). Unisom is also just benadryl repackaged and sold for way more money. by AxisOfAwesomein Frugal

[–]AxisOfAwesome[S] 0 points1 point ago

yeah I just bought some generic benadryl. shit knocks me out and is super cheap. Also, it's not bad for your liver.

PB Crisps were amazing. It's a good thing they came in such a small bag or I would have been an extremely obese child.

I think I should get a insurance discount for this anti-theft device on my new car. by maddvibein pics

[–]AxisOfAwesome 59 points60 points ago

I actually got carjacked a couple years ago, and the only thing that kept the thieves from driving away with my car after beating the shit out of me was that it was a stick shift.

so I'm going to have to disagree with you here - a lot of kids (the kind of ghetto punks who steal cars) don't know how to drive a manual in the US.

just my $0.02
