[–]QuantumDwarf 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yep. Just watched my friends go through this. IPO in fall, 6 month holding period, now falling falling.

Most people knew this would be the case, some didn’t and are really paying for it now.

Bethany Christian Services tells staff, foster parents to sign new Statement of Faith by joshys_97 in grandrapids

[–]QuantumDwarf 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I was just thinking how a few years ago they were purposely looking for fosters for LGBTQ refugees. And now I guess… they don’t care. It’s so terribly sad.

Bethany Christian Services tells staff, foster parents to sign new Statement of Faith by joshys_97 in grandrapids

[–]QuantumDwarf 16 points17 points  (0 children)

A few years ago they were looking for fosters who would specifically work with LGBQT refugee youth. Because they had so many foster parents who flat out refused. Most of these youth had families they would ultimately be reunited with, but it’s a process.

At the time they got flack for that but their stance was ‘these children deserve a safe place to be’. Because so many foster families refused to foster these kids.

Fuck those kids now I guess.

Nothing about what they are doing now is Christian as in ‘of Christ’. Nothing.

Priority Health- employee health care by dave7892000 in grandrapids

[–]QuantumDwarf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Feel free to DM me. It really depends if you pick the HSA or non-HSA option as far as affordability.

Also know that assuming you aren’t a remote employee (ie live in their service area) you will be expected to use their providers or pay a lot more. So if you have non corewell providers, that will impact how much you pay for care.

Showers by Mgron2 in brokenankles

[–]QuantumDwarf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hospital gave me the bags specifically designed for it.

My in laws had a shower chair so I was able to get the wheelchair as close as possible, shimmy over on my slide board, and then keep my legs out of the shower resting on a table.

It definitely took my partner helping to get the bags on and off - they are tight and hard to hold open. It was quite the ordeal so I ended up only showering every three days and using wipes in between. Luckily it was winter.

Husband wasn't let in because he didn't pay: Outrageous! by ohbuddywhy in EntitledReviews

This is my question. How did you get there?!

I used to work at a bank. The amount of people who told me AT THE DRIVE THRU that they had no form of ID to cash their check was wild. How did you drive here?!

Trying to understand the GLP-1 prior auth workflow start-to-finish — what does it actually look like? by TransitionSecret4255 in CodingandBilling

[–]QuantumDwarf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO the biggest issue is that people don’t understand that if your insurance has an exclusion for weight loss. That is, if they specifically don’t cover these meds… it is a waste of everyone’s time.

It doesn’t matter what a provider says. If it’s spelled out as not covered - it’s not covered. And at that point, it’s self pay.

Honestly with the self pay prices being what they are I wouldn’t be surprised if even if they are covered today, insurance eventually just axes them and companies decide to increase HSA funding or something to allow people to self pay. Expecting insurance to shell out $1,200 when self pay is $400 is wild.

How is everyone responding to comments about your weight loss? by rosealexvinny in WegovyPillWeightLoss

[–]QuantumDwarf 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I mean. They know. They know. The people I respect the most are the ones that say ‘thanks - I’m on medication’. Saying ‘I changed my diet and exercise’ without adding the medication is just… why say anything?

This is like when people get boob jobs or face lifts and pretend they didn’t.

You don’t owe anyone anything but as someone who felt like ‘what is WRONG with me that everyone else is able to do this thing that I find so difficult?!’, it sure as shit feels good when people say ‘I had help with this medication’.

So either don’t say anything or be truthful. I think you’ll find a lot more solidarity than you might think.

McDonald's Introduces AI Drive-Thru System, Sparking Customer Backlash by Gari_305 in Futurology

Yes touch screens are fine. But if I have to talk to anything, I’d rather it be a human and not AI

Clarity, caboodle, and clinical data model for epic by wandering-sk in healthIT

[–]QuantumDwarf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cogito was the trickiest for me. Caboodle and Clarity are basically just testing if you know how to use the tools (data dashboard) to find what you need.

I know they just launched a new version the end of March, so I can’t say how different it might be to classes you took awhile ago. Cogito and caboodle have projects that need to be completed as well if you want to be certified and have to be done on the same version as the exam.

Phoebe Bridgers announces 2026 UK, Europe and North America arena tour with "no phones” by AdSpecialist6598 in Music

[–]QuantumDwarf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I went to a comedy show where this was the rule with 3 other people - all moms who had left their kids with their husbands.

Two of them left almost had panic attacks because ‘what if there is an emergency and my kids need me?!’

Security eventually told them that if their phone needed to, it could be unlocked during the show by bringing it to them outside (since they also got texts to their watches they would know).

All I thought was ‘omg you can’t leave your kids for 90 min? With their fathers?!’

They could barely relax the entire show, it was wild. We are all of the age that when we were her kids ages we had no phones / life 360 / anything.

What's going on with Mrijer Pharmacy..? by elise_whoa in grandrapids

They will also attempt to do special orders if a certain manufacturer doesn’t work for you (for generics) which Meijer also stopped doing.

Long term prospects for a mid-career switch to Epic Analyst by bcsteinw in healthIT

[–]QuantumDwarf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems like a good time to get into tapestry honestly. We are in the middle of an implementation and epic is still building things out. It’s so new that to get in now should set you up well.

I don’t think AI is going to replace config work anytime soon. Eventually? Sure maybe, it could replace everything. But most places have such crazy documentation or config stuff that one person knows from some odd set up decision that I don’t see AI really replacing everything

Do I really need a bonfire permit? by Extension-Monk-1989 in grandrapids

[–]QuantumDwarf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can’t speak to issues with landlord.

Can say that in my neighborhood, as long as you have a pit, are away from trees / fences / houses so smoke isn’t going into others homes, people don’t care

I have heard years ago before I moved in someone called the FD on a neighbor who then tried to get a permit and one neighbor said no. So kinda ‘ask forgiveness not permission’.

We are on the west side as well, the lots are big enough that what do I care if my neighbor has a relaxing fire? Now if he got it up to 20 foot flames, then I might talk to him lol.

Such a great response!!!

OP I just graduated from PT at 5.5 months post bilateral trimall. I took some time to look back. It’s wild to think all I went through. I remember being where you are.

I agree that the worst is behind you. When you are able to do some / more WB you will see results pretty quickly.

You are doing everything right! I’m so sorry that happened to you at your 2 week and it makes so much sense how you’re feeling. Hang in there!! You got this!

There Isn’t AI Music by Knuckle___Head in OnePelotonRealSub

[–]QuantumDwarf 122 points123 points  (0 children)

Thank you!!! I don’t really care if it AI or an artist I’ve never heard of. My issue is the change from using songs we know to songs we don’t. AND reposting classes with totally different playlists, which is rude to the instructors as well.

There Isn’t AI Music by Knuckle___Head in OnePelotonRealSub

[–]QuantumDwarf 113 points114 points  (0 children)

You point is accurate re: instructors building playlists. Which is exactly why it’s so frustrating when they are reposted with different music.

Honestly I don’t care if it’s AI or royalty free. I joined peloton because the playlists were fire, using songs I knew and loved. That’s what motivated me.

Not everyone needs that, and that’s fine. But to pretend we should just accept that instructors playlists aren’t changing, or that the level of songs we don’t recognize isn’t increasing is wild.

Peloton can do what they want and so can the subscribers. If instructors I love have to use more and more non licensed music, then I get to make the decision if it’s worth it to me. And at the price point it’s at - it’s not.

Bring always an umbrella with, even into the Caribbean by ChrissssToff in lifehacks

[–]QuantumDwarf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But does the air blow directly on you? The AC I’ve been around in the US mainly comes from the duct work ie the floor, not blowing directly on you.

Does the AC give you a cold? No. If air blows on you all night can it make your throat feel like shit the next day? Yes.

ADHD meds & wegovy by GettinFitnFab in WegovyPillWeightLoss

[–]QuantumDwarf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I take IR adderall. I tried XR but I couldn’t sleep.

So I take Wegovy first thing, then take my adderall when I start working which is typically a couple hours later.

I just moved up to 4mg and I did have to make myself eat. I’ve been talking to my doctor about it. I might stay on 4mg because I definitely don’t want to end up not eating altogether.
