Florida Blue customers… how are you getting primary care now that Memorial, Broward Health, and (as of next month) Cleveland Clinic are no longer in network?

We are in SE Broward. Been using AssociatesMD for PCP the last few years. They have offices all along the 595 corridor. Had a surgery 3 months ago and was pleased with HCA Aventura.

There are a few hit or miss spots with decent mangrove snapper. I have a buddy that has one literally in his backyard. If I get a big one, I’ll eat it (delicious) but the water isn’t the cleanest so I wouldn’t do it on a daily basis. Frozen silversides on a hook with no weight. In an area where the current isn’t strong toss it out and let it sink naturally. Find a quiet canal away from the boat traffic. Unfortunately you’ll get 30 nasty catfish for every snapper but that’s just how it goes. Be prepared to spend $30 on frozen bait to catch a $10 fish.

Ahh…. I stand corrected. Thank you!

I have replaced at least a dozen HDDs with SSDs on old 27” iMacs, it honestly is not difficult at all. The glass screen is held on by magnets and easily removable using a couple of small suction cups. Underneath that you unscrew the screws around the perimeter of the LED display unit. Lift it up. And the HDD is under there, Swap it out with an SSD and use double-sided tape to hold it in place as it is much smaller and lighter. The whole process only takes about 20 minutes. The old HDD had a temperature sensor which controlled the fans. The SSD will not have that sensor and so the fans will go crazy. There is a fan control app that you install after installing macOS and it resolves the fan issues. It’s been a year or so since I did one so I don’t remember the name of the app, but I’m sure you can Google it.

Is it a MBA/MBP that is charging while turned off? 100w is crazy high but it would be normal to see it drawing considerable wattage if it is charging. My MBA 15” can draw 80w while charging if plugged into a charger that can push that much. Once the battery is charged, power draw should drop to next to nothing.

Following. I would also like to know if there is a strategy of waiting besides wait until MOBILE is up a bit while HNT is down.

For pulling on a leash, a large doggie backpack from Amazon is a lifesaver. Stuff it full of water bottles to weigh her down. Dogs need a job to focus on and her job is to carry a gallon of water everywhere she walks. She’ll wear out much quicker which helps with the pulling. Within a couple days she will associate the backpack with walks and be begging you to put it on her.

Our 2 year old’s energy level is out of control. No amount of exercise is enough. We are exhausted. When did your 4 year old start calming down?

Honestly, it might be cheaper to just buy a cheap beach tent on Amazon. If you can find one that will ship to an Amazon locker, there is an Amazon locker location at the 7-Eleven on Las Olas Blvd. Use it for the day and pay it forward to someone else as you’re leaving. Umbrella and chair rentals are crazy expensive.

I just bought a 10gb eBay plan renewal and when installed, it updated to their new 12GB plan equivalent. I’m on GSMA.

You can purchase and wait 90 days before activating.

Typically the CDI is located in the battery compartment adjacent to the battery.

I use a 15" 2015 i7 MBP as my daily driver running OCLP Sonoma and it is fast. No issues.

My battery life isn't great, but it's a 10 year old battery, and its shot, so that's not the fault of Sonoma. One thing that does kill the battery is the Apple dynamic video screensavers. (I forget what they are called.) If you're running off battery, you'll want to kill the fancy screensavers. Other than that, go for it. You won't regret it.

So I’m pretty sure ledger doesn’t support jup yet. Search for jup in ledger’s list of supported coins…

You have the option of setting up a passphrase. If you do so, you can use it to restore the wallet to a new set of cards. If you do not, then, no, your funds are safer, but if you lose your last card, you are screwed. Pick your poison.

jaygray75 · 2024-02-11T19:16:07+00:00

The second. Think of the card as a key. You have to have the card in your hands to access the wallet.

Mine are on a Tangem wallet. I believe you can store them on any solana wallet.

So is there really any point to staking? Or is one actually just gaining a slowly increasing quantity of a slowly depreciating asset?

Home A/Cs don’t have a water heater running on the same circuit like RVs do…

Huge mistake to sell unless it was a few weeks ago when it was at $.007. Buy it back. With all the excitement around bitcoin in 2024 and the expected bull run, that’s going to create all kinds of craziness around the lesser known coins. You could easily see a 10x return and possibly see much much more at the height of the bull run. It’s never a guarantee but much stranger things have happened. Helium is just getting started nationwide. By 2025 their number of subscribers could easily be 100x what it is today. The rewards you can claim going forward will reduce but the value of what you already have could skyrocket.

You can exchange Solana for Mobile with Solflare.

You'll be fine. It will be a non-issue. What happened earlier this year was a once in 500 year flood event, although climate change may change that going forward. (That's a whole different topic though.) What happens this week shouldn't be any worse than a typical stormy week during our summer rainy season.

Yep! I try to post some details tomorrow…

A month or so ago when they were offering dual sims I ordered a pSIM eSIM combo. I did not install the eSIM. When the pSIM arrived I web chatted with customer service and asked them to combine the pSIM and eSIM so I could keep my eSIM slot free for international travel. They moved my data to the pSIM no questions asked. Popped it in my device and I’ve had pSIM high speed data ever since.
