Re: "Traditional Pennsylvania Dutch" Foods?

One "adjustment" I had to make is that my parents always made taco salad, but it was much closer to the Wendy's variety (and indeed predated Wendy's serving such a thing). In plain circles, "taco salad" will certainly be pre-mixed, as oj pointed out, and could have a variety of d...

Re: HPV and Cancer link

In a car accident, car seats reduce the risk of death to infants (under age 1) by about 75% and the risk of death to toddlers (ages 1-4) by about 50%. Otherwise infants and toddlers just become missiles inside the car. That math doesn't change for larger families. Nobody claimed they didn't. Howeve...

Re: HPV and Cancer link

Since 1977, U.S. states have passed laws steadily raising the age for which a child must ride in a car safety seat. These laws significantly raise the cost of having a third child, as many regular-sized cars cannot fit three child seats in the back. Using census data and state-year variation in law...

Re: HPV and Cancer link

Car seats are associated with smaller family sizes ; the research shows this is due to the great inconvenience of dealing with getting kids in and out of car seats, the cost of car seats, and the cost of a car that can handle having 3+ carseats in it, which is mandatory now since all states are req...

Re: Poll: Daniel Perry - Should he have been pardoned?

With that in mind... if Perry kills again, it will show the governor's decision to pardon to be as foolish as Mosby's decisions to be lenient on people who didn't need leniency, but rather needed a firm hand. Mosby's governance reminds me somewhat of a group of libertarians who moved to New Hampshir...

Re: Throwback Thursday.... CB radios!

I miss having a CB, enjoyed them during my trucking days. Not legal in my church now. I do remember when I got out of the boonies things could get vulgar, but mostly I ran where there were few OTR drivers. Oddly enough, having a CB radio in my church would be very much frowned upon... but it would ...

What actually is EPMC's conference structure? I have a hard time understanding how it is put together.

Re: HPV and Cancer link

Accepting state aid like Medicaid is strictly avoided, to the level the local health department can’t even give away car seats - they have to put price tags of a few dollars on them and then Amish people are happy to buy what they think is a yard sale. Are car seats in buggies even a thing? They wa...

Re: May 11 2024 Freedom of Religion in the U.S.

Medicare only relies on private insurance if you elect for the private version of Medicare which is Medicare Advantage. As for the cost of a hypothetical Medicare for All program? One has to compare relative costs, not total costs. The fact of the matter is that Medicare is more cost-effective than...
