Where do you live? Do you have normal amenities, like a fridge and white skin?
I know we can pay our :10bux: again if we get banned, I'm curious, do we keep our account features such as our custom and search feature if we re-buy or do we have to buy them all over again as well? I'm also assuming we keep our name.

Tourette Meltdown
Sep 11, 2001

Most people with Tourette Syndrome are able to hold jobs and lead full lives. But not you.
This might actually be a big stupid question, so can someone redirect me to the appropriate thread?

I'm in medical coding and compliance. At work my team uses an Excel workbook to track claims in and out over the course of a month. We have 18 sheets divided by department (one for cardiology, two for surgery, one for ortho, etc) then a general totals sheet, a "total worked" sheet (to keep up with productivity), and a "total new" sheet (so things can be rearranged if one person is getting slammed and another person is getting nothing). Our current situation is this: each person comes in and works out their own daily totals (from GE Centricity, so completely electronic), writes them on a printed Excel sheet, and brings them to whoever is entering totals that week. That person plugs in all the data then emails it to the group.

Here's a screenshot of some totals from last year to clarify a little - we don't do consults anymore, so those columns no longer exist.


I think that's retarded. We're virtually paper-free except for totals, and one of the requirements for coding from home is to be completely paper-free. SURELY there's a way to create a group-wide Excel workbook that could be hosted on our shared drive (or online, or whatever) that each person could update themselves, right?

Problem two is because it's monthly, there would either have to be twelve workbooks or some way of creating one mega-workbook that's easily updated and navigated by 6-8 functionally retarded mid-40s women. I'm reasonably computer savvy but I'm no miracle worker - is this even possible? Is it too much to ask? Is there some better way to track than excel?

I don't totally understand what the relationship between the other sheets and the totals sheet is. Your question seems to mainly concern the totals one i guess?

Anyway a shared google spreadsheet is probably the easiest solution. Just like excel, they can have many tabs and tabs can refer to each other in formulae. You can make as many files as you want, i mean making a new file for each month is not a big deal in the year 2015 and its a good way to stay organized.

Bonus: iirc in google spreadsheets you can make webforms to fill out that will fill in the spreadsheet for you, to help with less computer savvy folks.

The general totals and total new sheets both pull from the individual sheets, but the total worked one is something we have to key in (sometimes people work in workfiles that don't "belong" to them, sometimes they're out and someone else does their work, etc). I'm going to check out google, thanks!

EDIT: Here's the totals page for a little more clarity - it pulls money and encounter counts from each individual sheet and sums them all up. Mostly used to keep track of where we are on monthly/yearly goals and balance numbers.

Is there a reason why many websites no longer let you share articles by email? I sometimes want to send articles to my parents but they don't have facebook and instagram and whatnot. It's annoying to have to copy the link and manually email it when sites always used to have a share by email option.

I'm sure it has plummeted, but why would you remove the option to email altogether? Does it really cost more to have that option than they would get from ad revenue or whatever on the email referrals?

Because operating a bulk spam cannon in a manner where the mail is going to get through is an annoying task that takes a lot of time.

I know CTRL-C CTRL-V is hard, but doing it also makes sure the people you are sending things to don't end up on yet another spam email list.

My dishwasher is making glasses and dishes completely Adrien Grody, I think it's given me an upset stomach a few times. I tried running a dishwasher cleaner outer through a cycle but that hasn't helped. Here's a gallery of an example glass: http://imgur.com/a/s91Rs

If it's not clear it's like there's a white powdery substance stuck to the inside fo the glass, I'd guess it's dishwasher tablet remnants?

How I fix this?

Sometimes it can help to vacuum out your dishwasher (after it dries out of course) with one of those small brush heads on it.

Dishwasher cleaner is just citric acid. Run a couple more loads through either with DW cleaner or citric acid. You can do this with all your glassware, also.

Does applying teabags/cucumbers or whatever actually help reduce dark circles under your eyes?

I'm getting plenty of sleep, but since changing jobs all my activities basically include sitting in-front of a computer screen and I know that isn't helping. Anything that is actually proven to help would be great.

It makes it appear that between June and July, referrals dropped 95% or more, when actually they dropped about 50% - a lot, certainly, but not as dire as the chart makes out.

I'm at my family's home for the holidays. I logged into Netflix onto my personal account through my laptop which is on their wifi. When I logged in, in addition to the regular 2 profiles on my account, it also offered a third option of [JIZZ DENOUEMENT's parent profile].

wtf?

Last time I was here I logged into my netflix account on their pc, but it was just my regular two profiles. Why did this third profile pop up?

Teabags, cucumbers, and Prep H reduce puffiness, but not dark circles. There are anecdotal accounts that suggest eye creams with caffeine in have some effect on dark circles, but I don't think there is any solid data on it.

Keep MSE, disable java, set chrome or firefox as the default browser and install an adblocker. If you must buy an AV, ESET is ok, and keeps the hd scanning and "hey, look at me! I'm working!" pop-ups to a minimum.

He's kind of right, in that MSE has become less effective as it became more ubiquitous, but I wouldn't trust anything he says beyond that, simply because Norton is just terrible. Sadly, whatever the leading antivirus programs are at any given time doesn't make much of a difference since they still suck at detecting new iterations of viruses, and they are of little to no use in protecting against users clicking malicious links, installing adware-laden coupon apps and downloading emails with pdf.exe files in them.

Also all the antivirus benchmarks out there are next to useless, since they test with a battery of known viruses. So AV companies have all the time in the world to make a product that will excel at the benchmarks, nevermind it's usefulness in the real world. There's a pretty interesting thread here in a/t by an AV programmer, in case you're interested in reading more.

This dude is right. I wouldn't necessarily recommend ESET -- antivirus can make your computer less secure: http://www.pcworld.com/article/2940192/critical-flaw-in-eset-products-shows-why-spy-groups-are-interested-in-antivirus-programs.html

Microsoft Security Essentials/Windows Defender is good enough. Download Microsoft EMET (free) to deploy some additional protections that would hopefully prevent your computer from being exploited by a browser bug or whatever.

Click to play for plugins in Chrome is a fantastic idea. Firefox has been getting better in recent years, but from a computer security perspective you're still better off with Chrome.
