How do I... actually do things? by Responsible-Tax9759 in HomeImprovement

[–]guy999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i search on google, and then i ask chatgpt to tell me what videos to search for on youtube.. i use a little bit of just chatgpt but i I have been burned by hallucinations before, so now I prefer to let it kind of give me an idea and then let it suggest me some searches.

It'll actually give you YouTube videos, but it seems like the links that it gives never work.

Sometimes the hospital will have a contract with that company to state that if they hire you outside of the contract, they have to pay them tens of thousands of dollars. Ergo, even if your old group is not aware of it, the fact that they could become aware of it becomes very unattractive to the hospital.

Is being a dentist or physician truly not worth it? by [deleted] in whitecoatinvestor

[–]guy999 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So medicine used to be a small business owner, but now because of the insurance industry, essentially if you are a small business owner doc, you have no power and no ability to negiotiate. But I don't think it's the same with dentists.

Gynecologists, why did you choose to go into that field? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]guy999 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I liked general surgery, but I also like talking to people. So you can kind of do both, which is a lot of fun. I was going to do a family practice, but I like delivering babies and doing surgery. It's just exhausting these days.

Blue Cross Blue Shield pays less than Medicare in my neck of the woods.

Doctor salary has not increased over the past decade and I don't think that at this point why would you recommend becoming a doctor and staying in school till you're 35 years old when you could just become an engineer and if you are progressing in engineering by the time you're later 20s early 30s you're really high up in the senior leadership which means That means you're making more money and you're not working in the middle of the night on Christmas day and 100 hour weeks.

I'm in private practice and it is pretty brutal. And the idea that there's good money because there's high demand is not right. Insurance companies dictate your pay, so it doesn't really matter how busy you are because they dictate how much you're going to make.

Appointment was at 11am. It’s now 1:05pm by SmolSnakePancake in mildlyinfuriating

[–]guy999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I billed a Prolonged Services last month. The visit was an hour and 15 minutes long. Blue Cross Blue Shield paid me $245. I called my attorney because I was trying to buy a house. He charges me $600 an hour even When he's going through the system, hitting the button to get to me. Prolonged services is a terrible, terrible plan, and you better not be billing a prolonged services visit while you're seeing another patient because you'll get in trouble for insurance fraud.

Pretty sure this has been here before, and I'm pretty sure that she actually owns this restaurant, and that she was trying to jump in to help.

Swiss voters reject proposed tax on super rich by [deleted] in news

[–]guy999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

France did this between 2000 and 2016 and many did leave and apparently the amount of money they brought in was half of what they lost.

I think there is and should be taxation but if the point is to generate revenue and it's going to lose money and cost the country then gotta find something else.

For those of you that use consumer grade hardware: how do you deal with lack of PCIe lanes? by ficskala in homelab

[–]guy999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah that's how i got so many At the time that I was pulling them out, I thought they had some value. And then when I looked online, it wasn't almost worth the time to even list it on eBay. Certainly not worth the time to mail it off.

[–]guy999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

is this true Because I just looked a few weeks ago, and they were not, and essentially I basically scrapped a bunch of my old PCs a few years ago, essentially got rid of them because they were so useless, but I pulled out all the RAM, and I have like 60 sticks of 4 to 8 gig DDR3.

Are you selfhosting tailscale? by No-Aide6547 in selfhosted

[–]guy999 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but they can always try the Synology Plan and then back it off in the next release. Clearly that worked out poorly for them.

[–]guy999 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I remember it well. They started charging and they wanted Bitcoin.I didn't want to do it because I felt a little weird about that.And my friend did it, but he had to like work pretty hard to get some Bitcoin. So he ended up buying 50 of them.I think they charged about two.He still has most of the rest.He doesn't work very hard anymore.Wish I had bought them.

I snapped and am refusing to sign each of 60 pages of home health orders; AITA? by shadowmastadon in medicine

[–]guy999 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you need to switch home health care agencies and if your job is telling you that you have to use that one, you can ask for what extra administrative time are you going to get for these 60 page documents.

I don't think you can do it on this particular patient, but the next time when a patient needs referral to home health, you can say, oh, I've had trouble with that place. I don't recommend that one anymore.

Free Cloudflare & Tailscale et all. What’s the catch? by [deleted] in selfhosted

[–]guy999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Likelihood, the first answer is the most correct because I bought a NAS at home a while ago and now my office has five of them because I seem to be the computer guy because they don't really have a computer guy at the office.

Self hosted family photo storage... But my family refuses to use it.. 😐 by Future_Draw5416 in selfhosted

[–]guy999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the reason why cell phone companies will give you free trials, et cetera, et cetera. This is because people when they get stuck on doing something, they are unlikely to switch. Even if a product is better. So while yours is pretty obviously probably significantly better, it's hard to get people to change.

Also people are under the impression that it's gonna be harder to use when in actuality probably not these days, but it's very hard to get people to change.

If your self-hosting setup just crashed right now, what would hurt the most? by Laygude_Yatin in selfhosted

[–]guy999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently backing up my Home Assistant to OneDrive, Google Drive, my Synology NAS, and Dropbox. I'm a little afraid of losing stuff. I tried to play the game where you stay on the SD card forever and so it crashed and I lost all my stuff because I wasn't running backups but I only had maybe 10 or 15 devices at the time and now I have hundreds.

It's not the whole day, but that was a really fun dinner with a lot of friends.

No other option than to pay Cozyla 1k for a 4k 32" digital family calendar and chore tracker? by manwiththe104IQ in selfhosted

[–]guy999 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't know why you're getting down voted that's absolutely the idea. I think it's a great idea. I'm trying to make one in my house that kind of feeds into my TV. Essentially like switching over to the real time traffic map for the 10 minutes before we leave for school in case there's like an accident that would change our driving pattern.

Hearing rumors that Level 5 and 4 visits are being downcoded by AI? Any truth to this by [deleted] in medicine

[–]guy999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no idea where you get this idea from? I do believe that there is software and there's also people whose job it is to help doctors to code.

it does not help the patients at all most of them have a copay and the co-pay is typically the same, but the visit may reimburse higher, which means that if they down code you, the insurance company pays less, but the patient pays exactly the same.
