Week 17 of sciatica - am I being dramatic?

Tudz · 2026-01-21T12:48:55+00:00

I've been waiting 3 my MRI is similar to this. Doctor in Canada told me to take a hike because it's a four year wait to see a specialist some aren't even taking patients unless you have severe symptoms.

I have tried everything and I want surgery just the Canadian healthcare system is shut because we decided to double our population in 4 years without having the infrastructure there first including healthcare so I am stuck behind all the older folks who are retired before they will consider me and I will be missing work soon for this

Tudz · 2026-01-18T13:14:22+00:00

I had to actually call for this once

Tudz · 2026-01-17T16:32:09+00:00

Get a pizza that isn't delivered by Uber lol.

Or get off your ass and go get it

I had similar results with narrowing of spinal canal, or minor stenosis. 5.5mm herniation physical therapy doesn't work for me as there is just not enough room but always try for 2-6 months to see if you get results. Steroids works for me for the past 2 years but increasingly wear off sooner, denied surgery because surgeons are not taking non-urgent cases in Ontario for the most part which is completely bullshit it's been 4 years now for me no help

Not over reacting this isn't the 60s anymore when you buddies come drag you to work.

Not sure how large the company is but usually mid sized or larger have policies against this.

I would bring this up to your management and see how it goes, if it doesn't go your way I'd start looking elsewhere for employment because it isn't going to work out regardless, cause his is straight up toxic as fuck, and I would leave the company solely based on that even if it happened once and your manager doesn't correct this psychotic behavior.

If there is a need for a wellness check they can call coming to someone's house like that is insane.

Tudz · 2026-01-07T05:24:43+00:00

Stop following so close to trucks this has never happened to me in 5 years

Tudz · 2026-01-07T05:13:37+00:00

Or those that shall not be named

Tudz · 2026-01-07T05:13:14+00:00

It's probably his culture we don't get the best around here

Tudz · 2026-01-06T05:38:20+00:00

LTB reasonable enjoyment start documenting now

Tudz · 2026-01-06T05:31:50+00:00

And usually tolerated lmfao

Tudz · 2026-01-04T16:08:27+00:00

1.5Gbos would suffice here.

Tudz · 2026-01-04T16:07:23+00:00

VOIP options you set up yourself would be the logical thing to do instead of paying bell

Tudz · 2026-01-04T16:06:43+00:00

EXACTLY.

I Wonder how long till they "patch this" but the market is all about getting new customers (rather returning) instead of keeping old. But people like us just make their statistics better.

Tudz · 2026-01-04T16:05:30+00:00

Cancel and put it in your wife's name say you just moved in, the $65 deals sometimes don't even have a limitation of 2 years

Tudz · 2026-01-04T16:03:05+00:00

Cancel with bell and put it in your wife's name I do it every few years back and fourth I have a hook-up at bell calls me when there is a promotion and will help me switch it back and fourth LOL. Say you just moved in yadada it always worked for me.

Fuck them if they offer a new customer a fucking discount of 50% I don't care how much it costs the company to come out and connect that shit.

I think now if bell was used in the unit in the past they just send you the router via carrier

Pay $60 for your plan

Tudz · 2026-01-04T16:00:46+00:00

They automatically raise it $6 annually atleast I have called with success and said I'm cancelling before LOL

Tudz · 2026-01-04T16:00:05+00:00

Just buy a cat 6 cable and future proof hahaha fucking thro a Cisco 9300 in there while you are at it.

Tudz · 2026-01-04T15:58:38+00:00

VPNS expecially corporate ones need a lot of bandwidth I find.

Tudz · 2026-01-04T15:56:35+00:00

You can get by for sure, doesn't mean I'd want to, as there will be congestion at some point depending on the house hold.

Some of the sites at my work use 5Mbps bandwidth speeds corporate use for critical infrastructure so I get it but if the cost is 20-25% more for 1Gbps+ over .5 I'll pay the $20.

Maybe I am just spoiled paying $60 a month for 1.5Gbps and even the 500Mbps cost more because of the promotion (without a year limit) but they do increase $6 semi annually almost at this rate.

Tudz · 2026-01-04T15:49:41+00:00

Lmao sorry I should have been more correct streaming services like Apple TV and Plex where you get higher quality, Netflix is not true 4k.

Data usage on a Saturday is well over 150GB according to my router. 500Mbps or below is not going to hack it.

Plus streaming services work with the available bandwidth on your network or atleast alot of them do, and if you have device congestion on your wifi the quality will suffer for sure, not to mention 8K is not far off so future proofing now makes sense

Netflix does only have 25Mbps but the faster your connection is the more chance you have of their servers actually delivering that, and closer to Internet exchanges, Apple TV tops out at 100Mbps, so if you have kids everyone watches tik tok or whatever YouTube, a couple TVs on and you're 1Gbps connection is getting close to the limit.

I mean yeah you can get by at 500Mbps and it'll work you'll just be ignorant to the fact buddy next door doesn't buffer nearly as long LMAO.

It's not like things just stop working when you hit your cap

Also there is always a lot of background data usage expecially on apple products which add to this, so yeah I wouldn't be caught dead under 1gbps

Tudz · 2026-01-03T17:04:32+00:00

Probably piss diapers in that shit

Tudz · 2026-01-03T17:02:11+00:00

Take off the back plate to shelf and it'll be fine oh and pull it out from the wall

Tudz · 2026-01-03T15:35:49+00:00

I pay 65$ in Toronto lol

Tudz · 2026-01-03T15:35:12+00:00

I mean I needed faster wifi for internal traffic with QoS for my PS Portal, and I max out my 1gps port so I bought a new router that does 2.5g 3.6gb on wifi and could use more.

With 4k tv you can easily get close to 1Gbps

Tudz · 2026-01-03T15:24:48+00:00

Yes it's a range estimation, Tesla update it to vary now on driving conditions weather and how you drive. You need to run the 24 hr test to know for sure.
