big same.

I wrote to my insurance provider asking to upgrade to a plan that would cover the "pre-existing" conditions they decided I had that I loving obviously did not know about nor did my doc.

the response I got back was "dear feisty, i want to let you know that you already have a really good plan with us. if you want to talk about upgrading please wait until mid-feb as your policy is due for renewal in early march"

it's like motherfucker, i need to go to the doctor now and not eat another several thousand usd in medical bills because you decided a condition i had no idea i had was "pre-existing"

and it's especially frustrating cuz it's the same company i had when i was at old job and i didn't pay a dime for anything medical related for a decade.

my apartment has radiators across one entire side which means there's already a hole drilled through the walls for the water pipe, so I just used that for ethernet and then tucked the cable under the carpet beneath the radiator. neat n tidy and easy to revert back when I move out

generally true though i bought an hp laser printer for my so because they use iron in the black toner which you can take advantage of to permanently embed it into glaze in a kiln

doesn’t that mean that you should buy their toner cartridges, but not their printers?

It’s like a sleep turbocharger. Then you replace your single rear end with dual asses so you can pass twice as much gas. Then you get ground effects for your bed, I know they don’t actually make it faster but the psychological impact is real.

You’ll sleep way faster than stock.

one issue our medical system
is gonna face is that so much of it is predicated on a doctor being available

at the moment they are often not. for better or for worse so much stuff is gatekept behind them, which is starting to lead to some significant issues, while a lot of other capable health professionals could possibly do a thing but can’t

Sometimes I feel this way about various things in the medical system. Like maybe we should let a pharmacist or a nurse do X & Y or expand the number of AMA certified doctors.

But then doctors already do stupid stuff. Like I read one guy on r/ADHD saying that the dangers of stimulants are overblown and then elsewhere in his post history I see him saying he works with his doctor to stay at his maximum tolerable dose of like 70mg of amphetamine a day and this is normal and how others should approach taking adhd meds.

Every post, a manic wall of text.

My dad worked in a hospital and every major lawsuit coming his way was the subject of a dinner time rant. I was too young to really understand much but from what I do remember… well sometimes surgeons don’t wash their hands before surgery because they’re rebellious cool guys or something.

Humans are inadequate for some lines of work.

around here your average techbro is on buckets of stimulants from their childhood adhd diagnosis through to their doctor informing them of heart failure at 47

paradoxically, job is satisfied with my performance tho the lack of motivation isnt much better, merely tempered by having to do it

lack of motivation can be caused by a lot of things and adhd is only one of them. i would talk to a mental health professional and ask for an assessment because a stimulant may not be the proper medication for your particular issue. adhd has a lot of other signs ime but brain issues are pretty variable
