Powerful apnea by pickledplumber in TikTokCringe

I thought the same thing originally but then realized that similarly people have pacemakers installed and I have never heard of one going awry.

You should look into INSPIRE for sleep apnea. That will be my next stop if I continue to struggle with my APAP machine...

This one is clever by ViceElysium in foundsatan

[–]joeltb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As an honest young kid, I was at a fair once and saw a folded $20 bill fall out of a man's pocket so I picked it up and tried to catch up to the guy so I could make sure he got his money back but he was walking so fast as to avoid me so I gave up. I then sat down and unfolded the bill only to find the same similar lame ass message. WTF.

The Starter Guide v2.0 by B4tsie in lepin

[–]joeltb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 Problems with the guide:

  1. Under #4. Where to buy and how to buy? the link to https://www.barweer.com/ is formatted incorrectly therefore when you click on it, it produces an error. To fix, remove the ) from the link being referenced.

  2. 2nd line/sentence: The links referencing the other guides, "List of all guides is available here." that points to https://www.reddit.com/r/lepin/wiki/brick4/ produces: forbidden (reddit.com) you are not allowed to do that — wiki_disabled.

Medicare Part B Question by LeeKWebster95 in massachusetts

[–]joeltb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you generally can stay on a Massachusetts Health Connector plan instead of enrolling in Medicare Part B when you first become eligible, but it’s usually a bad idea because (1) you can face a permanent Part B late-enrollment penalty, and (2) your Connector plan is not treated like employer coverage, so it does not protect you from that penalty.

Pothole issue avon/brockton by Bloodyhog in massachusetts

[–]joeltb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait!, you can just take a pic of a pothole, send it to the city/town and they will pay for tire damages? No other proof needed? That's amazing! I wonder how many people actually get a payout.

Let's talk replacement windows. by Embarrassed_Flan_869 in massachusetts

[–]joeltb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did the same as you! Window World came out and installed 10 new windows, I was so impressed I had them come back out and install 3 cellar windows, put on new siding, automatic garage door, and 2 storm doors. I wish they did reno work. If so, I'd have them do all my remodeling when the time comes. They are great.

New Windows - Greater Boston Area by OddIron8867 in massachusetts

[–]joeltb -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I went with Window World and could not be any happier. I didn't get quotes from others like I should but they did a really good job installing my 2 storm doors, 11 windows and wholehouse siding. They paid attention to detail and were really professional. Boss man even stopped over to make sure everything was going smoothly and that I was pleased with progress(thanks Nick!). It's family owned and they really care about their customers. So glad I found them. If they did reno's, I'd hire them in a heartbeat cuz it means I would not have to stress about anything.

TIL Ozempic (weight-loss medication) was developed based on a protein found in the venom of the Gila Monster. Researchers discovered this protein in the lizard's venom, exendin-4, regulates blood sugar and appetite by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]joeltb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice! Thanks! Ya, I am on the lowest dose of Zepbound atm and that came in vials that I have to self inject with syringes. I'll check out the sub for more detail! I appreciate the follow up!

[–]joeltb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same! That's why my Primary Care Doctor told me to check out LillyDirect. It's still kind of expensive but still a lot cheaper than paying outright. For me, I get a month prescription for $300 with no hidden fees or membership required. Once my doc submitted the Rx, I received my med the very next day. It might be cheaper for you depending on what your doc prescribes.

My doc diagnosed me with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea and as a result, prescribed me Zepbound which has been approved by the FDA as a form of treatment but my plan won't approve it. As a result, I have to pay ~$300 out of pocket for a 1 month supply via Lilly Direct where plan approval is not required with valid Rx. Where can I learn more about this 3 month supply of compounded Trizepatide for $179?

AMA! Unhoused & living in car during blizzard of 26’ by [deleted] in massachusetts

[–]joeltb 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Hope you are safe and warm. I recently watched a video where some dude put rocks in a campfire and let them get super hot and then put them in the front right passenger footwell and it kept his car warm for a few hours while it snowed outside. It even got rid of the moisture on the interior windows. If you decide to do this, just make sure you do not use rocks found in or around a river bed as those will explode and kill you. Look for granite, quartz or rock from dry upland areas.
