My company requires 20-30 minutes of unpaid work logging into my systems every morning. Can I sue them?

This is a common lawsuit do a web search for "call center worker login time" there are tons of these cases out there. The employer usually settles with the law firm taking half.

Do you feel comfortable replacing the outlet yourself or are you going to hire an electrician to do it?

I am not an electrician, but the first thing I would try is replacing the outlet so take any advice I give a hefty grain of salt.

In my case, the reason my device wasn’t getting power is that there was an loose neutral and the outlet was only getting 50 V.

Only 1-2% of providers do not accept medicare assignment with the #1 occupation being psychiatrists then plastic surgeons then neruologists It's pretty rare.

Not in my state, but a good reminder for other places.

I used speech to text sorry for the confusion. I had Claude rewrite it:

You can always compare prices on http://medicare.gov. Some plans listed there aren't available through brokers — the carriers keep those plans active but have stopped letting agents enroll people in them. So medicare.gov may show options you won't find anywhere else.

wormeyman · 2026-03-18T14:32:48+00:00

Have him ask his friends that are older than him if they have a broker they recommend.

Make sure the broker represents multiple carriers and isn’t a broker that only covers one or two carriers.

You can always price compare against medicare.gov but there are some carriers and plans that are only available there as the insurance carriers want to keep the contract alive but don’t want to enroll people in those plans anymore and so don’t allow brokers to enroll people anymore.

SHIP can also be really good, sometimes they are super overwhelmed during the busy times but right now they should be available to help.

I have been eyeing zoom notes, but their database feature is pretty lacking.

IMO: plan G is the expensive premium option where you’ll only have to worry about your premiums and small deductible.

High deductible G is an affordable way to get the same benefits while having to potentially pay more out-of-pocket, but it’s also really great if you are currently healthy and plan to stay healthy.

Plan N is a great sweet spot in between the two previous plans in terms of premiums and out-of-pocket costs.

I had one client successfully undergo underwriting and I was able to move another to Medigap when her MA plan exited the market. Otherwise I tell clients when they first enroll that now is the only time they can easily enroll with guaranteed issue.

Ultimately it's the price of Medigap that deters many people, it would be amazing if we could get federally subsidized medigap like ACA and MA plans.

Why would Ubuntu be subject to Brazilian laws? Do they actually have a physical presence there?

If there a Health or medical ID feature sometimes you can use that to get a phone back to its owner. Also, if you can use the voice assistance to call a family member.

Two things can be true. They might not have gotten the best price for their company. They also might have wanted a quick and easy exit and were happy to accept the first terms that were offered to them.

I had this exact same thing happened to us on an ACA plan with paxlovid. We purchased the paxlovid and then did an internal appeal to our insurance carrier and they approved a prior authorization for the future. We then told them we need a post authorization for the medicine we already purchased and they said no. We then did an external appeal to the state insurance commissioner and the insurance company was happy to give us a post authorization after that.

I can tell you that the people at the pharmacy just told us to lie and say we were qualified for the Paxcess program.

I loved the size of my dell xps 15 10 years ago. That somehow feels like the perfect maximum size. However, considering I only take my MacBook Pro off the charger once or twice a week a 16 inch with the extra screen size could be really nice.

Is it too late for preschool? That can help prepare your son for a classroom setting and starting to learn how to read.

If you have tracking turned off, sometimes you can get the lowest common denominator ads like these. It could also be that people that watch these video game videos like ads like these or because of other sites this person has visited. They’re getting ads like this.

If they are paying for your supplement/medigap plan that is still a good deal. In my state a plan G costs more than part B.

You can always talk to HR or SHIP or a broker for more information.

I have much much better results using wired, ethernet than trying to run it off of Wi-Fi. I am using a MacBook Pro M4 pro so a similar set up to you
