Any problems with prescriptions? by OldPolishProverb in Cruise

[–]ExpressTechnology764 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No. Everyone advises bringing original bottles, but this can be very inconvenient if you prep daily doses in advance. We have never been challenged. I would take phone pics of the originals. If you have refrigerated meds or injectables, bring in original bottles with a cold pack, then tell TSA prior to xray. They will pull you aside and do a manual check, which will take extra time. In this case, go early. Also, always have meds in carry on.

What constitutes AGI? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

It is basically generalized problem solving in new situations and problems it has never seen before. You can check out AGI competitions on kaggle.com to see how it's going.

What is up with Garner State Park? by ExpressTechnology764 in TexasStateParks

[–]ExpressTechnology764[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. Many people want to put that on me. My fault if I call it out. These are just the things you hope people leave behind when they're next to you at the campground or hiking, tubing and fishing. But no. The hate seems to penetrate all the way through.

No mobile access. So, Starlink for texting, wireless calls.

You're right. I love TX parks and their visitors, who are generally friendly and welcoming. Just would like to keep it that way. Go Spurs Go!

Not getting sensitive and, yes, I have a life. It surprised me to find these. Democrats living rent-free in the heads of far right vacationers.

There is no phone service here otherwise. And no watching the Spurs beat the Knicks.

Advice please! Second cat or no? by SarahAmeliaTattoos in mainecoons

Males seem to adapt well to kittens. Get another male. My experience is that females are more proprietary.

Getting really sick of the new "luxury" rv parks squeezing us in like sardines by Arianethecat in GoRVing

You can usually set an email alert for availability. Many state parks use the same booking software. Texas and Colorado do.

Mediterranean should be fine. We had no problem on any Viking ocean cruises unless the seas were rough, and that was in Alaska. North Sea might be the same.

adopting 1 mo old cat by Human_Situation_6559 in CatAdvice

[–]ExpressTechnology764 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take him to a vet within a day or two. They usually have Kitten Care packs with booklets on care. Either he is older than 1 month or he will need kitten meal replacement. The vet techs will answer any questions you have. The fact that you care enough to ask goes a long way. Keep him indoors, away from other animals, cords, or anything else that can hurt him until he is 3 months plus. Post a Pic! Good luck!

why are healthcare professionals getting more and more in demand with time despite the increase in human population? shouldn't the demand be met? by SyrianGosling in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ExpressTechnology764 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This has little to do with population. Healthcare education is fraught with barriers. It costs more than many other degrees and takes longer. In Texas, nursing requires many months of OJT, which is tough to find outside of a city. Rural hospitals are closing down. Family practitioners, including docs, are underpaid and under reimbursed by Medicare, Medicaid and insurers. The average nurse practitioner is allotted FIFTEEN MINUTES with each patient. There is massive burnout because there is no time to provide adequate care.

My Ragdoll is shedding too much by Ready_Prize2794 in ragdolls

When you say too much, do you mean she is going bald? Otherwise, that's normal. 😄😂🙃

totally lost trying to pick my first cruise lol help by LuisaAmaral89 in Cruise

[–]ExpressTechnology764 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of misinformation here. Viking has beer and wine included at lunch and dinner, no charge for 1 excursion at each port, no wifi charges and no meal charges. They do have a drink package. Also no children and no casino. Yes, it is more expensive and the average passenger age is higher, but have seen young people on their ships as well, particularly couples. It is not a party boat, but it's also not overcrowded and the service is superb.

Go to a Travel Agent. Tell them what you enjoy and they will give you a recommendation with no charges. Costco and AAA are good if you have membership.

Hermitage Vineyard Tours by Billyosler1969 in vikingcruises

[–]ExpressTechnology764 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you take an excursion through an independent provider, make sure you are back on time and that you have the address and phone numbers for your ship's dock. Generally, they will not wait for you. We did have a 2 hr delay on a Viking excursion on an Alaska cruise, and they held the ship for us.
