This is not true for all procedures. Do not watch an "open bankart repair" before having one. I still have nightmares.

Was Yanez's statement taken before he was able to review other evidence? Basically, did he have a chance to adapt his account before giving it to match the evidence on where the gun was?

Actually, the plans can't discriminate for a pre-existing condition anymore so that can't be the reason for the high deductible in your results, and the only reason states competing would lower premiums is because then shitty plans from states that don't require insurers to treat certain things like pre-existing conditions or mental health issues would fuck over anyone who didn't read all the fine print on their "insurance".

On subtasks, my problem with to do lists is always that in reality there isn't a neat hierarchical arrangement, nor is there a parallel/sequential option for sub tasks.

As a trivial example, I could have two tasks that both have a shared subtask. Say "make science fair volcano", and "make sweet and sour chicken", both have the subtask "buy vinegar". The "buy vinegar" subtask may be part of a number of subtasks which can be done in any order to prepare for the main "making" of the whatever, which is a sequential process. So maybe you have one subtask for "gather supplies" as part of the sequential "make blah blah blah", and "gather supplies" has subtasks that aren't sequential, they can all be done at once.

So a task can have multiple parents, multiple children, and can be sequential or random in order.

Okay, that's a bitch, but I've seen some apps that almost get close.

Then you add recurrence, where a task at any level of whatever may have recurrence, which needs to reactivate its subtasks, which may be shared with another recurring task, and already active, or perhaps completed recently enough that they don't need to be done again.

Recurrence itself needs to be based on a variety of methods. I need to vote the first Tuesday of November. Recycling is every other Tuesday. My mortgage is the 1st of the month. The 100 beanies I'm crocheting in 100 days needs to recur daily, building up if I don't do it so that I see I need to do it multiple times. Cleaning the bathroom once a week means a week after I last did it.

I'd say that military spending is one of the least efficient ways to spend money from a cost per job point of view. We could probably cut the military budget by 50%, then spend 50% of that 50% we cut on infrastructure and have the same number of jobs as before, for 75% the cost.
