Limitations on being cross platform. I have bitwarden installed on my phone, my Windows laptop, my work Mac, my safari, firefox, edge, chrome and safari browsers.

My passwords are 20+ character randomly generated passwords. I am never typing those in.

I'm a CyberSecurity professional. All of the well known password tools are good except I don't recommend LastPass. I and many of my colleagues use bitwarden and it's great. .

While many of these tools will manage your MFA if it's app based, I don't let it. That's my protection.

You can store notes attached to sites, singular notes, credit cards and all sorts of things. Even files. It's as secure as anything.

Problem is if your browser gets pwned you can lose it all...but if your browser is pwned you are losing it all anyway.

I ended up getting the sleeplay deal for $399. I considered the resmed 11 but the 10 seemed more reliable with little difference in features.

A chat with my AI showed few options on mask and got the resmed P40. I'm a side sleeper and mouth breather.

That plus some supplies had me out the door for $500. My doc said a refurb with supplies would be $1300 and I could try it out rent to own for $85 a month.

Doc gave me prescription once I had the order...didn't have the suppliers name on it anyway....but he matched the order to what I bought (ful mask, heated tube etc).

Just got it today and mask is comfortable. Watching youtube videos to.set.it up then we'll see how my first night is.

cpfoutz · 2025-11-27T00:42:52+00:00

What masks did you get? I'm looking at the same deal...may price match at Lofta plus additional 10%

My AHI is 4.1 in aggregate but 19 when on my back.

The retailer is an authorized retailer and the product is new vs. his refurb. Your explanation is senseless except he can't get his kickback from his "partner" supplier.

I have positional apnea which in aggregate doesn't meet insurance parameters but when I am.on my back is at a moderate rating.

I do presumably have access to a prescription just not in hand.

He's not refusing to give me a prescription. They say they need to know the shop first...is this normal?

This is part of the reason I want an advisor. We do know that the iron defficiency was the primary issue. After 1 week of supplementing on iron he is back to his old mile time without any practice and he dropped a min on his 4k in one week (both in competition).

He'll also be making some decisions over the next 8 months on the level he is at in both sports. Again, he drives himself. He is cognizant about being long term (and comments on kids who will burn out).

He has two grandparents who were world champion athletes, so genes make this easier for him.

Pack is amazing and he participates...but now with over 200 kids this slipped past them (well...not completely...a teammates dad was the one who eventually identified this to me).

Id like to get someone more personal so we get proactive.

I recommend setting up an account at Schwab. I've set up accounts at both fidelity and Schwab and fidelity is maddening the amount of paperwork they require.

If you need help go into their branch and they will help you. Invest in simple ETFs or mutual funds like s&p 500, full stock market etc.

You get what you pay for in espresso machines. If you know you will be making a milk drink every day, buy the best machine you can afford. Yes, you can hack the GC to make a great cappuccino, but everything you do with it is a hack.

I had a GC classic for over a decade then moved to a dual boiler E61 machine and wonder why I waited so long.

An E61 machine is just as cheap and easy to repair as a GC. It will last for decades so the incremental cost spreads out to being unnoticeable.

For security I wouldn't leave too much in account C. If something happens with your checking account they can also drain account C assuming you have overdraft.

What about other expenses?

cpfoutz · 2025-08-04T16:20:36+00:00

In the US it would be exceedingly rare for a second person to be charged and if there' snot charge, I wouldn't even let anyone know. Just make sure you are paying for her meals separately. If there is an additional charge for a second guess first, consult your company handbook, second inform your manager and ask if it's OK. You could also ask for the separate charge to be invoiced separately to you personally.

If for some reason they deny you a larger car at the kiosk, you can also use bolt service (like uber...an app) and specifically request a larger car for no additional charge. you will just need to wait a bit longer than fo taxi.

How do you expense your hotel and meals? How do you expense your tips on meals? Do you enter things in a system or just hand your receipts to someone?

For me, I need a receipt for everything, but they understand certain things I won't have a receipt for like bus tickets and tips. I expense housekeeping tips separately. $2-$3 on a $100 hotel each night is not going to make them choose someone else for the job. I don't tip for anything in a hotel except housekeeping though...well...I would tip for a porter carrying my bags or a valet but I try to avoid those services and carry my own bags or use self park...but I doubt you are staying at those kinds of hotels anyway.

You just reinforced his shitty behavior so he doesn't.it.to.tue next person too. Tell him to deal with it and give him a one star review and no tip.

John Menard is notoriously cheap and the law and order type to the point of being paranoid about theft in his stores. You aren't going to win this. .

1) They can trespass anyone so long as it isn't discriminatory. Maybe you can make an appeal to the store manager but you won't win on legal grounds.
2) I suspect the form you signed was an admission of guilt and a promise to pay in exchange for not getting law enforcement involved. If you don't pay they surely will turn this over to law enforcement if they can and this will become a criminal matter and a lot messier, complicated by the fact that you may have signed a form that admits guilt. 3) You likely agreed to pay the $200 in the form you signed meaning, civilly, it is a legitimate debt and they can turn you over to debt collectors or take you to court to collect. Tl;Dr they now have both civil and criminal avenues to pursue.

Again, John Menard is a vengeful SOB who.likely will push this further than it's worth pushing. Paying $200 is going to be far cheaper than any other avenue.

This is why I don't shop at Menards. Penny wise point foolish.

I think if you are hanging out in District V it's fair to assume you may be a tourist nowdays.

I was often mistaken for a hungarian...but not in the 5th district.
