cost for my share of our health insurance premiums is up 12% next year. -- nm - znufrii Oct 12, 07:56 15

  - I think mine is $500 -- nm - znufrii Oct 12, 08:24 5
    - that's ours for an individual plan, and $1k (or more accurately a pair of $500s) for a family plan. -- nm - TFox Oct 12, 08:26 4
      - yup, they also offer a "high deductible" plan for people who use an HSA, but I haven't really figured out how that works -- nm - znufrii Oct 12, 08:30 3
        
        HSAs are kind of cool, but less so when your employer is helping foot the bill. - TFox Oct 12, 08:31 2
        
        what about if your employer matches 50% of the first $1000 you put in? - znufrii Oct 12, 08:37 1
        
        well, that's the thing. - TFox Oct 12, 08:38
- we find out on friday. -- nm - amanda jones Oct 12, 08:06 2
  - oh, I lie. I'm saving about $3 per month. (if I had family coverage, I'd save $90 per month next year vs. this. that -- nm - amanda jones Oct 12, 08:14 1
    - 's not insignificant.) -- nm - amanda jones Oct 12, 08:15
- Ours went up 8%, as much as 15% in some cases. -- nm - budice Oct 12, 08:05
- Ugh - that's a hit. -- nm - Epiphany Oct 12, 08:01 1
  - it's not that bad for me, I make up a difference with the health assessment credit I forgot to take last year so my end cost will be about the same. -- nm - znufrii Oct 12, 08:02
Cool. My library now has an app -- nm - oblique Oct 12, 07:55 17
- What does it do? Can it place holds? -- nm - mara Oct 12, 07:57 16
  - I can watch them not work right from my phone now. Is that a Josh Holloway website up on her screen? -- nm - Stove115 Oct 12, 08:04 1
    - heh -- nm - Don Homer Oct 12, 08:04
  - I'm trying it out now on my Blackberry. Seems that it's something that other libraries could use as well -- (link) - oblique Oct 12, 08:01 13

        that is unlike any pattern I have ever seen. could it possibly be woven, not knitted? -- nm - loosilu Oct 12, 08:09 5
        
        I don't know. this is why I'm asking you. how would I tell? -- nm - amanda jones Oct 12, 08:13 2
        
        well, I think it is woven. It probably is not stretchy at all, yes? Here is the closest knitting pattern I have seen to that. - loosilu Oct 12, 08:16 1
        
        ok, this looks even closer. See if you like. -- (link) - loosilu Oct 12, 08:23
        
        That was my first thought. -- nm - MojaveMeg Oct 12, 08:11 1
        
        those ropes can't be done with handknitting. -- nm - loosilu Oct 12, 08:12

Database question --- MS SQL Server / MySQL / Access --- - Will Hunting Oct 12, 07:52 5
- nothing native, no. all table relationships have to be explicitly stated in the SQL - prayformojo Oct 12, 07:57
- Access is a combination of a frontend client and backend database. MySQL and SQL server are just the backend - oblique Oct 12, 07:56 3
  - So, if I'm comfy with an Access front-end, stick with that, dump it on a SQL backend and my data can get in there readily... - Will Hunting Oct 12, 07:58 2

  - Oh, you are saying those aren't it. then it must be the Chargers? -- nm - Don Homer Oct 12, 08:07 2
    - correct, at 1/7. -- nm - Reagen Oct 12, 08:07 1
      - That's...terrible. They're up 1 game (not even game in hand) ... and have generally looked weak vs the rest of a meh division. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 12, 08:24
  - Ravens? -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 12, 08:07 3
    - 50/81. - Reagen Oct 12, 08:08 2
      - that's odd. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 12, 08:10
      - I've never seen that one...ever. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 12, 08:09
  - I said 49ers! -- nm - Don Homer Oct 12, 08:06

    - Good choice -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 12, 07:56
    - Dolphins is correct at 151/1. -- nm - Reagen Oct 12, 07:56 3

  - You have the last two. (2/1 and 3/1) -- nm - Reagen Oct 12, 07:55
- 49ers for shortest odds? -- nm - Don Homer Oct 12, 07:53
- the... Predators? for... one... of those? -- nm - TFox Oct 12, 07:53
