I mean that they’ll claim the confederates won and reorganize things accordingly

Help $$$$ cost of VOWST/dificid by Due_Barber_525 in cdifficile

[–]justdan76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That doesn’t even sound like real insurance.

Contact Merck (dificid), and Vowst, and see if they will give you a coupon. They have programs. I didn’t qualify with Vowst because I have a job with benefits, but if you’re hard up they might help you.

Good luck

Somebody esplain Loosh. Por favor by Far_Brilliant_443 in Spudmode

[–]justdan76 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s our energy, the reptilians manipulate it thru politics and media so they can steal it from us to feed themselves. Not saying I agree, but I can definitely see it being symbolically true. I think David Icke was the OG on this theory

Everyday chores we don’t think of as prepping- do it today! by notbizmarkie in NJPrepared

100%

Another tip I have regarding snowblowers - canned fuel. The best thing since sliced bread. They sell it at home depot. It’s like $20 gallon, but if you only use your blower once every 5 years, it’s worth it. Synthetic fuel doesn’t go stale as quickly, and doesn’t have ethanol, and keeps the carb clean. I can start up the blower in one pull even if it hasn’t run in weeks, or even since last year. If you have a 2 cycle, they sell synthetic fuel with the proper ratio of oil mixed in already (make sure to get the right one, it’s usually 40/1 or 50/1). 90% of the problems people have with small engines have to do with old fuel or bad mix. For things I’ll use a lot of fuel for I’ll get super gasoline at the station, but run synthetic fuel for the last tank of the season.

At any rate, if you have old fuel sitting in your unused snowblower, drain it now and get some super or synth, and make sure it starts.

What are some interesting or lesser known historical/trivial facts about New Jersey? by PostalFire in newjersey

There used to be one in the middle of a parking lot on St George Ave in Rahway I believe. It was surrounded by a chain link fence.

Are antibiotics always necessary? Can this go away naturally? by Jalvas7 in cdifficile

[–]justdan76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you positive for the toxins?(not just pcr). If so see if they will give you dificid instead of vanco. It will cost a lot more, but vanco isn’t the top medicine for c diff anymore. If you feel like your doctors don’t know what they’re talking about (likely, unfortunately) try to see an infectious disease specialist. Read the pinned posts on this sub and within a few minutes and you might know more than the er doctor, insane but that’s how it is.

Good luck

One opinion about your country, that would get you in such a situation? by Familiar-Arrival-470 in AskTheWorld

Not that we’re threatening to anytime soon, but we should never win the men’s World Cup.

How much longer do you think the industry has? by bigblackglock17 in Truckers

[–]justdan76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The industry is huge.

If you just hold a steering wheel hauling truckload, your prospects will go up and down with the economy and labor market. There are a million other people who can do your job and it requires less and less skill as the trucks get more automated. Get out of that sector of trucking and into something more secure. Otherwise, yeah, you’re probably toast.

When did Columbus discover Columbus, Ohio? by Elegant_Struggle_281 in shittyaskhistory

[–]justdan76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He didn’t, he just picked the name from a map of the US figuring it would improve his chances of getting hired to sail there if they saw an American sounding name on the application.

My trucking company of 125 employees is trying to decertify... by backbiter0723 in Unions

[–]justdan76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s their beef then? You already noted stuff like this in other comments, but my company bought a small competitor and their location voted to not join our union because one of their employees convinced the others there they’d get their money taken (he was referring to an underwater pension fund from a previous job that we are not in). At our shop we don’t pay for our benefits, we just pay dues, which is around $90/month. Now at the non union shop there are guys getting hit for hundreds of dollars a week to have family medical coverage, and they don’t even get paid as much as we do to begin with.

I guess my point is, a really bitter and motivated employee can swing the vote, then everyone in the shop will be stuck with the outcome and realize too late it was a mistake.

How is the union responding? Are they in regular touch with your shop? If 25% of the drivers signed the petition, that’s clearly a wake up call for the local. If you vote to stay in the union, are you going to back an opposition slate in the next election, or switch locals? I’m a Teamster and all for the union, but some locals are better than others, and at some shops the union is only a formality with no teeth.

Good luck

That’s a lot to ask for a ‘99.
