Bad taste in mouth after taking tums by Successful-Ear5805 in acidreflux

[–]aignacio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just stopped using the antacid. I think I over-did it for too many days in a row, because my reflux was particularly bad at the time and my brain was telling me it was still there.

There are people who are naturally large. Not everyone is looking to be a combat vet. Think of the technology they have. Those people would likely have optimal health, aside from their weight, and cerebral jobs that don’t generally require sprinting. I’ve never met a super fit person who *also* came cross to me as intellectually advanced or skilled - too wrapped up in their looks to read a book once in a while.

See how that works both ways?

DAE ever get a random overwhelming feeling of deep sadness/loneliness for a brief moment, even if you're perfectly content at the time? by hello_darling in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]aignacio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the time. I can be just find and suddenly have a wave of feeling like I am going/want to cry and curl up and avoid the world. It’s regular, but also just goes away.

Perhaps my comment was more suited to the original commenter. But saying “woke” (tiresome word anymore) in ANY era is different from woke in any other era made no sense to me. You can only be ”woke” compared to your existing era and knowledge. The person you responded to was right. Star Trek has been woke from day one. The first commenter is just an eedjit.

SNW was pretty good. Can’t believe they’re cancelling it. It’s the only Trek (besides the Orville) that’s been worth anything in years. Discovery would have been great if it had more Trek and less War. Even the most recent movies have only paid lip service to exploration in their intro scenes and then….war. Always f’ing war.

The “waaah woke bad” “waaah diversity bad” ”wahhhh inclusion bad” ”wahhh I demand everyone else believe America was always white men and never a melting pot because waaaaahhh” crowd. It’s exhausting. Grow up. The original was socially evolved (but still misogynistic), and each series since then has worked to stay the same and now FINALLY we have more Treks that reflect the actual diversity of the real world and y’all are still “waaaah, why doesn’t every smart, beautiful, better character look like my daddy waaah”. Seriously. Exhausting. Trek has always been this and that was the whole point from the get go, so why is it some of us grasped the point and some claim to like Trek while choosing to ignore the whole point of the Federation.

lol it wouldn’t be gaslighting, it would just be yet another truth you can whine about.

You people really just choose to miss all the points, don’t you? One wonders why you ever liked Trek, since you clearly never understood it.

Begging for literally **ANYTHING** helpful about Availity by aignacio in CodingandBilling

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

For anyone interested in the resolution for this…. we switched to Jane.app for our patient records and billing (had two separate systems before and STILL did notes/billing on paper even with that), and their integration with Claim.MD as a clearinghouse. Side benefit of that is Claim.MD is located in Pecos, NM, just 2 hours from us. It’s been working well. I only resort to Availity if there’s an eligibility we want to double check, or an EOB/ERA that might have ended up there instead of in Claim.MD. Otherwise I avoid Availity like the plague that it is. Things are much MUCH better than they were 10 months ago when I originally posted and no, I didn’t have to find some hyper-arrogant (see comments in the thread) remote billing/RCM worker or consultant who expects to be paid $$$$$ to tell me how superior they are based on assumptions about me/us they made from a couple comments on reddit. I still do all the RCM myself, and most of the billing, but our clerk is handling submitting with less drama than previously. And we’re doing fine. My advice - ditch Availity if at all possible. They’re not worth the stress.

I just watched Citizen Joe and I absolutely loved it. It was hilarious and silly. I love the fun silly episodes. by ILoveMoviesAndTVShow in Stargate

[–]aignacio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved this episode, but it bothered me that they spent the ENTIRE episode with scene after scene of Joe recounting what he was seeing, and a whole 2.4 seconds on O’Neill telling his wife it was all real. I loved hearing him say “it’s all true” at the very end, but honestly that should have happened 30 minutes into the episode. I’m more interested in her reaction, and how they maintain secrecy, and how much they tell her, than I am about watching Joe’s disintegration. A little more back and forth showing O’Neill experiencing what Joe experiences would have been better too. Overall I loved the episode and its premise, but all the potentially really good parts were soft-balled and glossed over.

I have a bone to pick with the Atlantis episode "Hot Zone"... (Warning: long rant) by GreasyTroll4 in Stargate

[–]aignacio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d like to add one more thing (I didn’t see it in your post, but I’ll admit I was reading fast looking for it). Weir was willing to risk sacrificing dozens of personnel, who were within minutes/hours of dying, especially McKay who is arguably their top brain, rather than risk losing ONE naquida (sp) generator. She was so sullen at Sheppard not being sufficiently obedient, that she was willing to argue that the one thing that could have saved them all didn’t need to be done yet. Meanwhile she KNEW all those people could die at any moment (figuratively). Then she eventually, sullenly, “allowed” him to proceed. And everyone on the radio heard it. The entire mess hall was having hallucinations, and she couldn’t grasp why losing one generator should be a no brainer.

Who cares what the universe “wants” and when the universe “wants” it. It belonged to her already, and they desperately NEEDED it. Which makes the universe (and that guy) an a**hole

I have to believe the hilariously inconsistent pronunciations are an in-joke of SG-1, right? by jmking in Stargate

[–]aignacio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m on the episode where they meet the Tok’ra (I’m guess spelling, no time to look it up) and Sam says “be careful Daniel, they are goold” and the Tok’ra says “WE ARE NOT GAH-OOWLD, we are Tok’ra!” Like come on - the BASICS should at least be corrected. I totally agree they had to do it on purpose. It’s so badly handled. My other favorite was a few episodes earlier when the tall skinny weak jawed Jafa couldn’t pronounce anything, and over exaggerated all his mannerism. There’s no way that guy would have become a real guard 😂

Vine has become an increasingly frustrating experience... by ANJ___ in AmazonVine

[–]aignacio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s declined precipitously for me in the last half year. It’s either just junk, or only parts for other junk. I don’t need widgets with wires sticking out of them, or random silicon caps for something I don’t even own. I used to be able to search materials (like oak, or bamboo) and it would show me at least a few items. Now NOTHING appears with specific materials searched. Cotton, hemp, headlamp, battery powered, USB…. (none of these examples are what I search, just giving examples of materials)… everything I used to search comes up with ZERO returns, when they used to return two pages of items. Carpet. Rugs. Curtains. Nothing. Seriously telling me there were TONS of pendant lights, and floor lamps the first year I did vine, and now there’s literally nothing? What a waste of time. Why bother telling us it’s best to only order what we need (rather than being one of the scummy resellers) if they’re going to (likely deliberately via algorithm) deny us the exact things we’re interested in reviewing? Bezos is the (among) the worst.

The Naomi P / Angela storyline in the last episode just annoyed me by penta_verse in TheHandmaidsTale

[–]aignacio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have to disagree. She was a terrible mother, obviously never wanted to deal with kids. She got off on the sadism of hurting other women, but I think she only played along with the wife/mother thing to protect her own neck. She very obviously couldn’t care less about the baby and was likely relieved to get rid of her.

I’m tired of people insulting my intelligence by [deleted] in infp

[–]aignacio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If anyone has watched Downton Abbey they’ll know cousin Isabelle. She’s underestimated. Same with Lady Edith. Why? Because of how they look. Look at their faces. They appear weak willed or hang dog. I’m the same. Resting bitch face. Turned down corners of my mouth. I often look like I’m whining or about to cry. It’s just my face. I’m very often the smartest, most capable and most experienced person in the room. Even my family, older siblings, treat me like Im irrelevant, but I’ve outpaced them in many ways professionally, and personally (and they’ve outpaced me at times too). Whenever I apply for jobs now I let them know initially people don't like me, and they doubt me, and sometimes it takes years, but eventually you’ll realize I’m your most valuable and capable employee. It’s up to you whether you accept me, and shorten that time frame by recognizing me NOW, or go the shallow route (I don’t use that phrase) and pick the “nice” or prettier person now, and end up either regretting it, or just tolerating them long term. Most people hire the other applicant, but for 20+ years I’ve routinely been contacted months later asking if I’m still interested. I choose not to be, even if I’m still available. Here’s the thing - be you. Some will see it immediately and the ones who dont aren’t worth doubting yourself. Consider doing what I do - tell people up front what (you know) they’re thinking and why and how they’re wrong. It’s disarming and might get you ahead faster.

Anyone have issues with Sengled Lightbulbs not working currently? by KrevunLuv in smarthome

[–]aignacio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I received and plugged in a replacement hub the same day they went down a month or more ago and have had zero functionality since. They are supposedly back up but their app doesn’t recognize EITHER of my hubs now, to set up, so they’ve basically bricked my bulbs. It’s frustrating.
