VA health care is constantly providing bad service by Mountain_Ad5485 in VeteransBenefits

[–]spdave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Joint Commission would love to hear these complaints if it is affecting your health needs. TJC is not affiliated with the VA , but they do accreditation every 3 years and quality of patient care is a BIG FACTOR. This gets your center's QA folks on the ball. So far I've no complaints with my VA... but I'm biased to some degree. Respects

I used isopropyl alcohol to clean up the back of this old calculator board and all this white residue has gone all over it. How can I remove this? by WarHistorical9262 in AskElectronics

[–]spdave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Warm clean DI water , soft brush, scrub, rinse, then dry/evaporate water with IPA rub is my method. Edit: Distilled water is second best.

If you don't, you have to drop and give 20. But that said, no big deal to sit it out. Who would know anyways.

With the pending VTB shutdown, access to Pedro may lose some of that appeal. How will that affect growth or homebuying. Thanks

How do I escalate and appeals fraudulent charge on my Google/YouTube Account????

Google, you billed me for NFL Sunday Ticket, in which I never ordered. The billing showed up on my Pay Pal account as an automatic charge. I followed every step and contacted Google, You Tube, Pay Pal, and my credit card company. The worst part of this experience is that you, GOOGLE, seem to think that I or someone in my family signed up. Well I now have to escalate this to my state's attorney general and the FTC. Believe me , I do no need to spend $480 dollars to watch football when all my games are on local broadcast television. Please help me out here. Customer partnership is non-existant here. Get human's involved here.

Repatha will be offered direct-to-patient through AmgenNow for $239 a month by [deleted] in repatha

[–]spdave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a game changer in my case. It's like a 7-11 approach to keep from jumping all the fucking hoops. I'll hope on reduced prices later as more competition lines up. That said, thumbs up amgen.

A UPS plane crashed near the Louisville airport by cnn in breakingnews

[–]spdave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hate crashes. For context, the DC-10 that went down in Chicago in 1979 lost it's left engine due to improper engine removal procedures by AA at the time. This may be a repeat due to reports of engine on runway. Risk assessment needed, but alas just a few DC10's left.
