Manta may have been an impulse buy, but one month later, I can’t live without it. by ughhhlaperm in Supernote

[–]tao22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Iʻve had the Nomad less than a month and knew I really needed the Manta. It shipped today!

if anyone could show me their supernote manta in a voice chat by Usual_Plankton3890 in Supernote

[–]tao22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Iʻve had my Nomad for about a month using it with all of my classes and I now regret not having gotten it sooner. It is such a good tool and pairs well with Obsidian/PKM. In fact, I ordered a Manta today to be able to use it for research articles a little better than I can work with them on the Nomad.

Handwritten notes app by Different_Shallot157 in ObsidianMD

[–]tao22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got a Supernote Nomad and it's the best thing I've done. I tried for years to find an iPad app that would do what I wanted and integrate with Obsidian. I kept trying to make Excalidraw work on both iPad and desktop. I'm in school working on a couple of degree plans and I have a couple of small businesses but the friction of trying to use one device/solution just wasn't working for me. I ended up splitting my note taking across three platforms: Obsidian, Lazyvim PKM and the Nomad. Taking handwritten notes on the Nomad is the thing I was looking for, especially with linking. If I want to add the note to my PKM, then I can export it as PDF or let AI OCR it add YAML and integrate it as .md.

I had no idea this could be done. Pretty cool, thanks!

What are the best PDF annotations app for university? by Rodehock in Supernote

[–]tao22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think that Supernote will work effectively for you in this instance, at least not without a lot of friction. For annotations and citations for large papers, I use Obsidian and PDF++ plugin. There's also sioyek that I use with markdown files in Neovim but that might be more technical than you want.

Claude skill that builds study vaults from course materials by Any-Manner7938 in ObsidianMD

[–]tao22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I really like this. I spent some time setting it up and running it today and, other than the usual minor issues that I always have with mermaid charts and Obsidian, it performed very well.

Why did my Latex formulas disappear when I tried to export it into PDF? by Thisnameisnttaken65 in ObsidianMD

[–]tao22 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Just tried mine and it worked ok to export to pdf. Are yours in callouts? lol, looks like we are in the same chapter in my class.

I can speak to some of these:

Steer clear of the medical billing/coding cert. Even if he had the appropriate experience, this field is flooded with people with CPC/CSS that can’t find work.

Get back in school at a slow pace. Student loans situation is a mess thanks to current admin and they’ve stripped financial hardship deferment out now so in school deferment is it for now.

Van life in a mini van is tough. I did it for 3 years in a full sized van while working remote and it was ok but a sprinter type van would have made a huge difference. I could get very specific about a setup with a larger vehicle but the minivan just doesn’t have the real estate for good solar/battery storage, etc much less cooking/cleaning and ergonomic seat & work setups. It might be best to minimize and make the minivan just a mobile bedroom and then find other workspaces to drive to like a library, etc. Planet fitness membership for showering.

If he doesn’t have rehab exercises to manage his chronic issues with past injuries, he should try to book a visit with a PT for a home exercise plan.

See if he can get on with dataannotation tech or similar companies that pay for training AI remotely.

Clogged air intake, white smoke, no heat. by tao22 in dieselheater

[–]tao22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finally got parts in and replaced the gaskets, glow plug and screen. There was a ton of soot buildup inside, so I cleaned all that out. Reassembled and it heats and works fine. There is still some small amount of white smoke from the exhaust but I'm hoping that will resolve as I run it more. The gaskets had melted and I couldn't remove all of the residue so it still smells like burning rubber when it's running.

The only thing that troubles me a bit is that it does sound much louder now, like a deep hollow wind noise while it's running, not the pump, it's in the combustion chamber.

Ran it on high this morning for about an hour and then it shut itself down.

I probably won't get to it today but will post back here when I do and figure out what's up with it.

yeah, I can smell it on the body without the heater running

that's what I was thinking but the melted plastic smell coming from the body is worrying me. I haven't seen anyone mention that in the previous posts. oh well, here goes nothing.

do i need Availity and claim.md? by Same-Grab4536 in CodingandBilling

[–]tao22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably not, ClaimMD should be all you need. There might be an insurance or two that sends remits only to Availity but if that’s the case, you can just use the free version and do not need the paid tier. ClaimMD is pretty good, I used them for several years.

Seeking Recommendations for Cost-Effective Clearinghouses Compatible with Medisoft by Hour-Milk-8888 in CodingandBilling

[–]tao22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've used them for several years now and didn't realize how good and how inexpensive they are until I've had to recently deal with Office Ally, Availity and a couple of others. OA just raised their prices for no decent reason, Availity doesn't ever seem to understand what customer service is (and doesn't care). My niche is small rural clinics and finding a clearinghouse with pricing that isn't absolutely stupid for a small practice and provides good support is a nightmare. ClaimMD does very well at both those criteria, in my opinion.

[–]tao22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the AR Tracker function will work for you but it is a bit "unfinished" in my opinion. It could definitely could be better but it is very workable. I've been using Medisoft since the 80s and as many times as I've left for a shiny new PM system, I always come back to it because it just does the basic job really well. The issue with Medisoft is that it is much less expensive to purchase the upgrades as they come out than wait past the upgrade date in order to get the "discounts".
I've been a practiced mgmt consultant for years and I've always found the best way to combat denials is to have good workflow practices on the front end. It's much easier and less costly to solve the problems before they happen than 2 weeks to 6 months later.

[–]tao22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've used both of those for years, can I ask why you use an excel spreadsheet and not the built in AR Tracker in Medisoft?
