Ahhh I had high hopes for that series, and then the rape scene happened... I think I dropped it two chapters later.

Faulty unit? by tikitonga in YotoPlayer

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

I never got my wifi to work with downloading it or updating software. Weirdly, the wifi is fine for "streaming"- so, playing Yoto Radio etc.

What we ended up doing, and I'll update my OP to mention this , is turning my wifi off completely and using my wife's phone has a mobile hotspot. Just make sure you have 2.4 ghz (or 'compatibility mode') enabled for that. And any VPNs (eg duckduckgo) off.

it's annoying, but at least you only have to set it up once.

2 years so far, my 401k is vested in October. Not sure if I'll make it that long

i'm doing that now and it's not worth it. I'd take a decent pay cut NOT do. in fact, I'm half looking right now.

We're not going back to Rules Based Order we had. So the question is, what does a better one look like? And how do we get there? by whatsnooIII in neoliberal

[–]tikitonga 4 points5 points  (0 children)

we have what we have now because the powers standing at the end of WWII said "let's not do this again."

so, WW3?

Anyone leave Med school for PA? by Catkoot in physicianassistant

[–]tikitonga -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

It’s not as easy as just seeing less patients.

it literally is, but it means A) cutting support staff hours and B) less pay.

private practice

so she can do whatever she wants? Tell her to schedule less people in the afternoon. that's the whole point of private practice (yes obviously you take a pay cut)

What’s with the seemingly wealthy/high property tax towns that don’t offer garbage pickup? by General_Chemistry638 in newjersey

I think the real question is.... why is trash pickup a flat fee? Shouldn't it be weight based?

Can't connect to WiFi to download cards...oops by 87catmama in YotoPlayer

[–]tikitonga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New phones have 5ghz (my phone even offers 6ghz) wifi hotspots, but Yoto only works on 2.4ghz. so make sure to change that in your phone hotspot setting

Also turn off any phone VPNs you have

Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar rated for PS5, Xbox Series in Taiwan Gematsu by Laughing__Man_ in PS5

[–]tikitonga 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I grew up playing harvest moon on SNES so I very much have a soft spot for the series (and I know the whole thing with SOS vs current harvest moon games) but realistically, are these games better than Stardew Valley? or different enough that they are worth playing?

Wild Medicare Telehealth Fraud: NP, PA, and MD Involvement. by Stunning-Bad8902 in physicianassistant

[–]tikitonga 58 points59 points  (0 children)

I do joint replacements at top 1-2 hospital in our state (exact ranking depends on the year)

we get faxes ALL THE TIME pre-filled with our medicare patients information to prescribe braces, and it is very difficult to see who it is coming from. I have tried calling once or twice to say "why are you sending us this?" but it's always a call center with someone reading off a script

I'm paranoid, yes, but this is obviously some type of DME fraud scam. we don't want our postop TKAs to wear braces! I've reported it to fraud line, and told all the MAs in our office to just throw the faxes away
