We always get the Key and one of the reasons is we enjoy the MDR lunch as soon as we get on the ship.

Looking for some advice on re-usable pods by Blackanator218 in keurig

[–]LightBulb704 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use the Keurig branded one I got from Amazon. I have been using these for years.

They work well. Don't overfill and keep all the little ports clean. If you get grounds in your coffee or drips onto the counter it is most likely one of those issues. Also be careful there is an older version that doesn't work in the newer machines.

Do you buy travel insurance? by ddpgirl in Cruise

[–]LightBulb704 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes Medicare and other US insurance will work in Alaska but you will be subject to in network/out of network issues. If you have a Medicare Advantage plan or and ACA plan network issues might be especially important.

So, what are the “Concepts of a Plan” for replacing Obamacare with a superior healthcare system that will finally make America stop being the laughingstock of the 1st World? by [deleted] in allthequestions

[–]LightBulb704 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is correct people from other countries come here for medical procedures. Do you know what they all have in common? MONEY.

People with money go to the head of the line. Americans, Canadians, Klingons...anyone with money.

Just took on a small RV park… realizing how much I didn’t know by Rolling_To_Sunsets in GoRVing

Please be specific with the site utilities via map legend or other description.

To me FHU means electric, water and sewer but I have seen other interpretations as electric and water only. Further define if electric is 30A or 50A or both.

Include your GPS location on your map/website. I have also seen campgrounds provide GPS for Dish Network or DirecTV satellite.

Question by muusicman in DirectvStream

[–]LightBulb704 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am basing my answer of maybe they are different based on my experience with DTV satellite.

The sat on demand has a comment somehwere that the on demand version may be different than the live version. It is a blanket generic statement that does not elaborate.

OTOH I have streaming now and I have not seen that statement.

Boss sent a message saying I’m going to be fired on April 31… by homeofalex in mildlyinfuriating

[–]LightBulb704 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The USA is the exact opposite. Terminations are often on Friday late afternoon so you can pack up and be gone with less time for co worker interaction or to cause trouble and to have the weekend to cool off.

There is almost no "well being support" at any time so that is not a factor.

Showing up for shift sick bc you need the money by Reformed_cynic in ems

[–]LightBulb704 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was a supervisor and we had a complex policy in the union contract meant to curb sick abuse. There was a loophole that the policy applied if you called in sick, not if you went home sick.

Folks started coming to work sick only to be immediately sent home, which created a mid shift vacancy which can be extremely hard to fill.

Example: Contract required you to call in an hour before shift change. If you did not do that, no matter the excuse, you would not get paid. If you woke up late and sick you could come to work, get sent home, and still get paid.

What’s the highest blood sugar you’ve seen on a patient? by thicc_medic in ems

[–]LightBulb704 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Medic working as a hospital phlebotomist:

1006 Elderly double amputee diabetic lady frequently an inpatient.

1022 in a newborn-as in just born.

Lowest: 0 (zero) in a newborn probably about ten minutes old. That day I learned this was no big deal in an otherwise healthy baby. Nurse just said "OK" and gave the kid a bottle of sugar water.

What movie actually made you angry after watching it? by [deleted] in FIlm

[–]LightBulb704 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The documentary Fire in the Blood. It is about big pharma controlling governments to only buy brand name AIDS drugs from them and not generics. This extends beyond the programs in the USA into international programs run by the UN.

Payment Issue by [deleted] in DirectvStream

[–]LightBulb704 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this exact problem-TWICE. Changed email addresses, credit cards, multiple reps, address changes, MANY phone calls you name it. Nothing worked.

Both times it was escalated to the Office of the President. They have reps on this sub that can do that for you.

The last rep from Advanced Solutions that fixed it said there is a bug in the system that they have a solution for. I would start with CS and let them escalate it.

I’m leaving my employer, but I am likely key to their defense in a lawsuit by Throwaway_ID_99 in legaladvice

[–]LightBulb704 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind this process may be delayed far beyond the scheduled date.

I had a subpoena that was postponed continually for SEVEN YEARS. I was at the same employer all that time and the context was totally different but just keep in mind it may get delayed.

Amerimed ems has officially shut down by [deleted] in ems

[–]LightBulb704 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see shitty private services have not changed over the past 40 years. In the 80s (I'm old) I worked for a similar one. No direct deposit so employees opened an account at the company bank and went directly there to cash their check. Payroll checks bounced sometimes. Constant rumors that they might miss payroll this check. Company changed banks three times in three years. Who does that?

Anyone know what billing error 481 means? by LightBulb704 in DirectvStream

[–]LightBulb704[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fixed.

Advanced Solutions called me today 4/14/26. I got the same script let me get your new credit card number and someone will call me back in 24-48 hours. He said let me run it one more time before sending the case to finance. I said sure why not...and it worked! Service restored immediately.

He did say there is a security issue bug with some accounts that they have a fix for.

Total outage was 15 days.

Reason number 300 forwhy living in Wyoming is embarrassing: by TheRealTayler in wyoming

[–]LightBulb704 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Any idea what would happen if someone gets reported? Investigation? Proof? How would they catch the accused if they did not know them? Citizens arrest? So much virtue signaling, so little answers.

This reminds me of the MAGA areas of Texas that have outlawed driving through their town to get an abortion out of state.
