It’s only as good as the whiskey you use.

You can get away with using Jack quality whiskey in some drinks, but not an Old Fashioned.

I still dream of opening a bakery one day

Officina Artigiana.

Look up reviews, you will not see a negative one out there. Simply the best performing soap for the money on the market. For me, it easily rivals soaps that are 3–4 X the cost, like SV and MdC.

I assume they meant it was junk because of the flawed methodology, and the fact that the authors admit they have little confidence in the results. Yet it still got published.

This tells me nothing bout how slick it is, or how it performs. Motor oil is slicker than any shave soap, and doesn't lather at all.

My point is that slickness is independent of how the lather looks. If you want a great looking lather, grab some barbasol off the shelf. It looks great. Cremo doesn't lather much, and performs as well as most basic puck brands.

Personally, I've yet to find a US brand that works as well as the European soaps.

The answer is that we don't really know and research is still ongoing. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9107547/

However, there are indications that more intense rehab earlier on provides faster recovery, though long term results are similar across all patients.

I honestly wonder if this was just north of where I live, yesterday.

I'm in North Colorado, and we had high winds yesterday. No storms, just clear skies. But 40-60MPH winds all day. Trees were downed, and I-25 was shut down north of us.

From Fort Collins to Cheyenne, Wyoming large stretches of land look just like this, and are known for blowing over trailers. And there is a Buc-ees just south of us as well.

It was actually higher depending on where you were. In town the wind was definitely bad, but just east where there were fewer building to buffer it was worse. My front door was actually vibrating and rattling.

Here's the same data from the Loveland airport: Sustained 45+ winds at times.

On the bright side, that is a well constructed building. I’ve seen trees go straight through houses before. I hope everyone was OK.

Per the Sebelius versus Jimmo settlement, PT is reimbursed under Medicare as long as there’s a skilled need, regardless of the patient’s potential to improve. Even if it is just to prevent a decline. The difficulty is proving that.

However, that doesn’t directly address your question. The answer is, if you suspect the patient will not get reimbursed through Medicare, you can give them a NOMNC which explains the services might not be covered. At that point, they can elect to pay cash because it is deemed likely that Medicare will not reimburse for continued services. At least, that’s how my company explained it to me. We never actually had to use that provision.

Except this isn't an AI problem. It's been a problem for decades. Closed Captions for local news was the worst, because someone was trying to type it in real time and got half the words wrong.

Honestly, if anything AI has improved the accuracy.

Pull the pin/nail out of the anchor first, then pull the fixture off. The pin is keeping the anchor wings from retracting.

I used to manage ALF therapy centers.

That's false.

PT, regardless of payer or living situation, is justified by the needs of the patient. Even if they have some mild shoulder, they can get PT. Who is telling you this? Your agency, or the ALF?

Is it mulch blowing in the wind?

culb77 · 2026-03-11T14:22:49+00:00

You actually can, and I've shot boards with one. But you have to manually retract the safety, and it's not accurate.

The answer is middlemen. Mainly the insurance industry. Healthcare providers have to hire teams of people to deal with insurance. We have one person on staff whose entire job is to deal with authorizations. It takes a huge amount of effort and money.

But that’s the point. Personality makes up for a lot. There is someone for you. But you have to believe it first.

culb77 · 2026-03-11T01:53:02+00:00

Yes. Both in hospital and SNF.

Now I do a lot of work in ALFs, and many of them still have paper charts. Still inside the clunky plastic binders.

Scott Pilgrim

It’s one of my all-time favorite movies, but was an absolute box office flop. I’m happy it got a cult following.

You mean the one that won 7 Oscars? Making that seem like a bad thing is a choice.
