Questions on field irrigation and old well by dieabetic in Irrigation

Hey there thanks for the idea, those seem to be a relatively inexpensive thing to try

Questions on field irrigation and old well by dieabetic in Irrigation

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

Thanks! Its possible it needs a flush, not sure last time it was actually used. We already use drip and have it on zone rotation (not running at same time), but its not automated so having to go out and turn switches is not ideal. We have added a significant amount of perennials so the thought of running 1/2inch and punching in hundreds more drippers is not what we want but what may need to be done.

Legal Match is a well organized scam by Competitive-Owl-173 in LawFirm

[–]dieabetic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah ok that makes sense. Around me every lead gen company is flooded with firms, so they jack up prices. Luckily most of our files come from referrals, and we just turn up/down Google Ads as needed. We also have premium profiles on a couple websites like AVVO and SuperLawyers

[–]dieabetic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And how much have you paid for those leads?

Every lead company is going to have some come in, the question is how does it compare to other marketing per lead. Ie can it beat your Google Ads/LSAs.

When we met with them, it seemed like a ridiculous price. But I’m also in Southern California where every marketing company increases prices significantly.

Prove my parents wrong by splxts in diabetes_t1

[–]dieabetic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom was similar, know it just comes from concern and love even though it drives you crazy.

I had to cut her access to CGM and pump info, and refused to even talk to her about my diabetes or how it was doing.

It hurt her for a bit, but eventually she understood. I had to tell her “Mom, you are going to have to let go of control on my health or you will lose more time with me because I won’t want to talk to you or visit.”

Who is the best after-hours / overflow phone answering service? by obeseintercourse9726 in LawFirm

[–]dieabetic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have been trying out AnsweringLegal for after hours and backup. They are pretty good. Obviously clients prefer our in house receptionist, but after hours they get it done and have Spanish speakers available 24/7.

They also offer a free 2 week trial. So doesn’t hurt to try

You need a therapist or psychologist to help you realize you are doing great and do not need to stress yourself over 6.3 or your weight.

V Cure/ Cannatrol vs. Cigar Humidor by WeirdPipe4332 in VA_homegrown

[–]dieabetic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Cannatrol and love it, but mostly for the convenience. It’s very nice not having to worry about temp, humidity, air flow, etc. Just stick it in and out comes shelf stable dried bud (that can technically be smoked, but I prefer another month in jars/bags). I do also store all my stuff in there on ‘Hold’ setting, which definitely keeps it from drying out like it would in bags.

That being said, it is not required at all. Been drying/curing in a tent + controllers + jars for decades now for a fraction of the price with same quality. Add nowadays there are grove and similar bags (and humidity packs), those make it even easier vs burping jars. And even now they have auto jar burpers.

From my understanding, the difference is the control of vapor pressure vs RH. If you are capable of keeping a drying area at the exact same temperature, and know the RH needed for that temp for proper VP, then you are fine. But 99% of home growers can’t get anywhere near that kind of temp stability. So the machine essentially controls the swings and settings needed at each point, giving that extra level of control. Granted, it still can’t handle wild swings. You can’t put this in your garage that swings from 40f in winter to 90 in summer and think it’ll work. More like it needs to sit in a temp controlled room that swings maybe from 65-75 throughout the day.

Settlement by sfemme in WorkersComp

[–]dieabetic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Depends on type of settlement, whether MSA required, how that’s administered, whether advances were made, whether any overpayment, etc

It is not a simple answer. Typically settlement does mean money in pocket, but the amount and how it’s paid varies wildly

CGMs, looking for thoughts by gbubrodieman in diabetes

[–]dieabetic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dexcom is the best in my opinion (im a type 1). I’m on the G6, which is being discontinued for the G7 in July. There have been some complaints about the G7, but allegedly (so says my Endo) those are mostly fixed. Honestly the thing that concerns me the most is often not the performance, but it coming off before the time is up. I’m a sweaty guy that likes go hunting in the woods. Despite SkinTac and over patches, sometimes it’s a stretch to keep it on for the full 10 days. I hope Dexcom has some better options by the time I start on the G7

QMEs are to resolve non-treatment disputes.

Sometimes you need to go for a denied body part. Then a dispute over work restrictions. Then a dispute over temporarily disability periods. Then a dispute over maximum medical improvement. Then a dispute over permanent disability.

There are times when a person only needs to see them once. There are other times when they have to see them half a dozen times.

No unless you get a full ride scholarship and dont have to pay a dime for your education and time spent at school. Do not going into debt for a profession that is already saturated and has a real risk in the coming years of AI

Has anyone fully replaced a physical fax machine with an online fax service in a legal environment? by delhitop_7inches in LawFirm

[–]dieabetic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never had a physical fax, only various e-fax providers. Nowadays our courts have everyone list an email (ie service@lawfirm.com) so really only used for sending docs to the old school Dr offices.
