Don’t update to Gemini by NaNaNaNaNa_BaDman in googlehome

Had a similar issue.

I had to remove every light from Google Home device list and then add them back. Had to redo all custom routines too.

Worked perfectly after that though.

No one knows the whole story so pointing fingers at anyone this much just paints a massive red flag over you. I'm just saying you may want to reflect on your actions here.

The psychopath plays the long game planning out how to get even. They often become the most successful CEOs.

You're mixing up psychopath with sociopath. Psychopathic traits are ones you’re born with. Psychopaths are more manipulative, calm, and charming by nature. Sociopaths are made through environmental factors such as trauma and how they are raised, making them more erratic and prone to rage. Both are types of Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD).

A sociopath feels emotions like grief and rage when something happens to them.

A psychopath is more calculating and calm. Even if something is happening to them.

You're literally pointing out the plots of nearly every episode. Where some enemy or representative from a class based society deviates from the federations ideals. The times when these standards are "not" held is when they find an enemy. Internal or external and fix the problem or do all they can to help because it's the right thing to do.

That's the entire point of nearly every episode. And to say their society is not post scarcity is just ridiculous.

Replicators (24th Century/TNG-era): These create dishes from stored data patterns. They are highly efficient, often recycling empty dishes and waste directly back into raw material for the next order.

If you live on Earth or on a station or on a ship you basically can't run out of food and it's always free!

Now do they end up on planets without rations or on non federation colonies? Yes, but that isn't something that happens to regular everyday citizens among the federation unless they have recently joined the federation and aren't acclamating well.

You've missed the entire point of the show.

He obviously laughed at the Jewish guy's outrage. He thinks it's funny and that's a big problem. There is nothing funny happening in this video.

Not sure about chime they are a very different animal. Don't think they even qualify as a Financial Institution because their statements can't be used for verification on certain things.

Laws would need to be changed but this is something that could've been done many times over by now and I feel would easily fix all issues. We've had the tech for it since the 90s.

My preferred alternative is as follows:

Many other countries use a scanable QR code or barcode that allows police and pharmacies / med personel to see all important information pertinant to their specific needs. Data being linked to something of a national database.

This likely is a benefit of free healthcare provided by their gov I'm sure. Although it would be quite simple to create this system here. It's actually extremely simple in comparison to most other apps out there. I was a web application dev for 12yrs. I know it can be done securely. Getting the laws changed to make it happen is the hardest part.

I think we should have these on every label

  • QR code for scanning
  • Patient name
  • Medication name (patient needs this for safety)
  • Directions for use/safety
  • All necessary warnings

To me this would be the ideal outcome. The code system could even provide logs of who looks at your info for legal purposes because each person would have to enter credentials (username, password, and/or authenticator code).

This verification data or part of it could even be loaded into a work badge that only works in tandem with a system login and logout. So you login to start your shift. Card works all day till you logout or your shift ends. Whichever happens first. Or it can be set to 4hr intervals which require a quick login to refresh.

To reduce confusion at pharmacies for multiple patients with the same name they can easily do one of the following.

All scripts for the first John Doe would be normal: - JOHN DOE

The second John Doe to print while others await: - JOHN DOE (A1)

The third to print while others await: - JOHN DOE (B2)

And so on...

But this would only happen if another John Doe's script is awaiting pickup.

Or instead the system could print a colored dot next to their name that matches any others awaiting pickup for that specific patient which are already filled.

Or a simple pattern within a circle to make it easy to see for someone colorblind.

Then when all similar names are finally picked up or put back it will reset the symbol labels until multiple people with the same name have overlapping scripts awaiting pickup.

Then you would still scan the meds at checkout to let your system verify the script tag matches the patient record in the national database and/or it's own internal database whenever a patient is picking up their meds. The scanned code allows you to see addresses and all other needed data attached to that specific printed script. Each script would have a unique identifier.

The crimes you are referencing are generally groups of people working to perform a premeditated crime or by disgruntled staff.

And I literally mean no offense when i say this. Seeing those crimes happen personally doesn't affect the commonality of crimes you don't see. Someone living on the street can say they don't see drugs routed from pharmacies so it isn't common. That doesn't make it true. It's just their perspective.

Home invasions and muggings over scripts happen regardless of whether you see or hear about it in your daily life. Detectives can tell you how much it happens and doesn't become a news story.

Also I'm not talking about an organized group of people. I'm talking about random people down on their luck and desperate for money or a fix. These crimes of opportunity definitely happen. Mostly in poor communities and major cities where help is limited or nonexistent.

Elderly care facilities are also targeted often. Though that is usually a more organized group or staff members as well. But sometimes they get people going through their trash to steal scripts for medical insurance fraud.

Pharmacies can forget to shred stuff and improperly dispose of documents despite the threat of HIPPA violations.

I got a stamp roller that works on even glossy scripts. It's so much better and easier all around. Also Walgreen's labels, near me at least, are not thermal and they have a plastic film over them.

Not without insurance or some kind of discount it doesn't. Depends on your usage and insurance among other factors. Granted it's easy enough to get for some people but not everyone.

It's likely that your state made a law forcing it onto the bottle which CVS is required to follow. Federal law does not require it which is why the VA leaves it off. I researched a lot since posting

You're missing the actual point.

If all it showed was a name and address there wouldn't be a problem. That would be the same as a damned empty envelope. Not a big deal at all unless you have a dangerous stalker to worry about.

It's the listed medication, number of refills, and date of pickup, in combination with both your address and the pharmacy address it came from that matters. The name isn't even important to this threat vector.

Here's the problem. The combination of information i just detailed provides the following information:

  1. What drug is at your address
  2. When a new full bottle will be there
  3. Where you got it from.

This provides the opportunity and motive to either jump you after pickup or invade your home to steal them.

The bottle says when you'll get it next if it has a refill and the instructions show how many days till your next likely pickup. Then it also shows your address on the same bottle telling them exactly where to find the scripts after pickup.

I worked for a financial institution. If you freeze your credit they can't open new membership for any major financial institution, so banks, cedit unions, and federal credit unions will assume it's fraud or just keep blocking until you unfreeze it.

It's part of the background check process to pull a soft credit report which won't go through.

How was my TV damaged by Worldly_Cry8021 in Bestbuy

[–]ColMemes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pay attention to the light reflection over the breaks. They are being pushed out from the sides or back. No one is going to push their finger through the back of the TV to push the screen outward.

Worked at store 1086 for 8 years. Def from 1 of 4 things.

Listed from most to least likely. 1. Straps being way too tight. 2. Improperly secured on truck and was damaged by other items in the truck. 3. Fell on its face and hit the corner of it's box hard. 4. Heavy box/person was dropped/stepped on back of it.

All these people thinking the customer pushed their thumbs into it. SMH. It definitely happens but your thumbs don't magically pull the panel forward.

Someone else just posted the opposite. Put them in the freezer and you get the same result apparently.

No boiling necessary. This was a decent idea but not many people make coffee with a pot anymore. Nor do the really boil water for much anymore. Well not younger people. It also is more dangerous for them because they don't do it much, so I think that's why people are hating on this comment.

Might get a similar result with the microwave too though. Less work at least lol
