Just got my acceptance letter for VA health care, anyone know anything about the process to get them to allow you to use non-VA docs and the VA foot the bill? I'm in GA if it helps narrow it down. Ironically enough, VA coverage is probably better than what I get through my work, as long as im not sick to the point of dying. They charge me nearly full price for my insurance and i have to spend nearly 10 grand in a year or 2 grand in a procedure to even have my insurance help with something.

Call the number on it if you qualify by distance or appointment scheduling problems. If you don't, well, enjoy using your work insurance or paying out of pocket. Well I'm 70 miles from the nearest VA medical center and it's the Atlanta VA so lmao at the idea of getting an appointment in a timely manner. Maybe I'll be able to use the choice card to go to Northeast GA Medical Center in Gainesville. Much closer, clean, and also really good doctors. Good to know the VA still sucks dick.

Hey how about that time your boss told you to move a 12 foot long, 7 foot high, 6900 lb disk array from the data center raised floor to the warehouse area 500 yards away, and you only have yourself, and one other guy to do it and no, a pallet truck will not fit under it.

Can my husband watch his BS network sitcoms (The Middle Sling is fine, your man-bear can watch his BS network sitcoms on it, there is a I believe about a 2 day view time on live TV, where you can watch anything that showed in the last two days whenever you want, except on certain channels/programs (NFL poo poo being one of the main criminals of this). You cannot record a thing and watch it indefinitely however, but good old screen capture software can take care of that no problem, but this probably breaks a law somehow somewhere so do it at your own risk.

They also do some other poo poo where they give you some drugs to make your bone marrow cells multiply 5 days beforehand and then just skim them out of your blood like platelet donation. Agreedo on general anaesthesia for anything involving getting jabbed with a horse needle, gently caress that poo poo.

Cat chat? Here's one of my kitties, she is rather sleepy so I rubbed her ears to get her to wake up for the picture.  This cat loves fleece blankets, she gets upset if I take away her blanket for any reason. When I wash it she will spend the next day and a half just rolling all in it and rubbing on it to make it smell like her again. orange juche fucked around with this message at 08:25 on Jan 18, 2017 |

Confirming the southeast handles hurricanes and poo poo great, they have repair crews out working as soon as the storm passes and they get poo poo restored pretty quickly, IF I lose power from a really bad storm it is usually up within 4-6 hours. With the notable exception of Louisiana because they are dumb and built their capital below sea level on a river.

Nostalgia4Dogges posted:-missed the edit Get rid of her phone line, and get Vonage or whatever, it takes an ethernet cable from your router into the vonage box and it has 2x regular phone jack outputs, and fax works fine on it. She won't notice any difference between vonage or whatever and what she has currently, but the Vonage bill will be about half what she pays now for her phone. Same dial tone, same call functionality, everything works just like normal, even 911 works, as setting a 911 address is part of the initial setup (which you will do if you are a good son). E: yeah return the drat 3 in one, get Vonage, and use her internet to carry her phone without bundling the phone in, they probably charge more than the vonage bill for the rental of the 3 in one and the bundle in of phone service. Splitters work fine for internet, just don't put too many splitters on and have your modem as close to the run out (on the first splitter, or ideally on its own jack if possible) of the house as possible. Each splitter drops your signal by about 3.5 dB, so putting the modem behind two splitters drops your signal by a third. orange juche fucked around with this message at 01:52 on Feb 7, 2017 |

Nostalgia4Dogges posted:Yeah the issue is her fax machine is in her room/office which is a bit away from where I plan on setting everything up. So we'd have to run an ethernet line through the attic or maybe try one of those powerline adapter. Splitters are mostly the same, there may be really lovely ones that drop more dB (the dB loss will be stamped on the splitter body somewhere), but there are powered coax amps if you are going to be using a lot of splitters. The street box should be good for a cable modem and 3 TVs minimum, which should satisfy almost any house. You won't experience any signal gain/loss if people are watching TV, it's the splitters themselves that drop the signal strength, and the only thing that would happen with the cable modem losing signal strength due to too many splitters, is it might take a bit of a hit on speed or you might experience a drop once in a long while, but sunspots and poo poo will do that anyways. The only general rule is modem on first splitter before anything else. Once you get your ethernet off your modem, you only have to worry about the 300 ft limit for CAT5/CAT6 transmission. The other general rule is the more complicated you make this poo poo, the more time you will spend working on it for free when your mom has a problem with it. orange juche fucked around with this message at 03:26 on Feb 7, 2017 |

Nostalgia4Dogges posted:Alright, thanks for the help! It'll be source > splitter > modem and cable TV box so should be alright then. Also, powerline adapters work really good and are awesome and keep you from drilling holes in poo poo to run cables. https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-Powerline-Adapter-Starter-TL-PA4010KIT/ This is the cheapest one-and-done buy i can find, comes with the one you will put in your closet for the source, and the one that will be in the office for the vonage/voip whatever. You can buy more adapters if you need them. E: if you're worried about people getting into your network, use the ones that use encryption to protect the powerline signal, but I don't really see a problem with the cheaper one. orange juche fucked around with this message at 03:42 on Feb 7, 2017 |

It is much easier to worry about wifi than loving with wired networking, if it were a new house I would say to get the electrician to wire up a networking closet but eh. Its not worth running wired poo poo in an old house unless you're a network guru.

Nostalgia4Dogges posted:Are powerlines pretty efficient? The living room spot to where the phone that needs ethernet would be is about, oh, 30 meters? Not like it needs crazy bandwith or anything so I can just get a low tier one. It's definitely good enough for what you're looking for, the cheapest ones are 200mbps, but it varies depending on if your lines are garbage, but VOIP and a fax line doesn't take more than 64kbit/s, which is not even a drop in the bucket of the capacity of even the cheapest powerline adapter.

Nostalgia4Dogges posted:Thanks again for all the help man, this seems to be the best route. Coupled with this vonage one: they should, alternatively there is this: no powerline poo poo needed. Actually no that thing uses WPS which is garbage code for bad people. Don't leave WPS enabled on your wifi. You can brute force a WPS pin (no matter how complicated your password is) in a couple hours, so leaving it enabled is bad. E: I was thinking WPA for 30 second timer, but WPS can be cracked in a couple hours, no matter how complicated your wifi password is, and it is enabled by default. Don't leave that poo poo enabled yo! orange juche fucked around with this message at 04:25 on Feb 7, 2017 |
