You know every time I’ve had any medical work done I’ve digitally signed my consent for them to treat me and to bill me…

Can we also wipe out all medical debt and then sue the hospitals for treating without consent?

Funny story of the at one about 10 years ago I rented a room in a house with these two old(60+) alcoholics. We split the cable/internet bill, normally it was $270 a month ($90 per person). At the time I was about to move across the country and was doing business trips back and and forth. This month I was there for about 1 week. The cable bill came in and it was close to a grand.

They wanted me to pay $350 and I said no! I called the cable company and asked why it was so high. They said it was from like 14 porn movies being purchased all from one cable box(I never even unboxed mine) over a week end. They gave me the serial of the box and I checked all the boxes. I found out who it was, I payed my $90 dollars and told them to figure out the rest. I moved out the end of the next month, never did learn what happened to the bill(wasn’t in my name thankfully).

Yes but for example for seizures I want a simple form, not having to type in entries. Especially for siezures, it’s normally a busy event of caring for him, having to add a seizure taking more than a minute means it probably won’t be used.

Both good suggestions, thanks for the ideas

I didn’t know they had free tiers… I’ll look into it

Hmm…i do have a raspberry pi that isn’t being used… Since it’s asp.net should be Linux compatible… Not a bad idea

Well it’s also a learning project as through a series of events I am technically a software developer in job title who got thrown into a c# code base with databases after doing a python boot camp for 9 weeks and have no mentor to tell me what I’m doing wrong on professional projects.

Wait, so fish inhale water… Some process takes place separating the water and oxygen atoms and then they exhale the carbon dioxide and hydrogen out their gills? Or am I still completely wrong?

Very interesting thanks… Now to do more research because this has buged me

Atleast on America that is by law if publicly traded. Let’s say a company discovers something that amazing, say cure for cancer and decides they are going to give it out for free for the benefit of mankind. They can be sued and will likely lose. Only real defense would be they thought the goodwill from giving away for free would earn the shareholders more money through goodwill towards the company. A smaller scale version of this would be like a farm raising animals in non-optimal conditions (for profit but nicer to the animals like free-range instead of cages). They could argue the customers will be willing to pay a premium for that.

If not publicly traded they can do whatever they want. If governmental they should have a goal or mission statement that states what their intent is(usually it’s not profit) but if it’s publically traded legally their only motive is profit to the shareholders.

At one point in my past I was the “stinky coworker”. I wore deodorant, I showered daily, I washed my clothes after every wearing. My boss did have THAT conversation with me, and started using cologne to cover it. Don’t think it fixed it but it covered it enough that I kept the job for a bit.

Eventually my mother, who I was living with, bought a new washer / dryer. My stinkiness factor went to effectively nothing. I’m pretty sure there was some mold/bacteria/whatever in the old washer that was causing the stink.

It may not be the stinky persons fault, and they may not even know what’s causing it.

My doctor said I should not drink brake fluid, I told him not to worry… I can stop anytime

It’s doesn’t say anything good about your navy but really doesn’t say anything good about your AUTOpilot.

Where I work we do a mix… Some 4 days, 10 hrs each, some 5days 8 hrs each.

Production is typically 4/10 and most other people are 5/8. This allows the other groups a day where production isn’t running and other things can happen, like maintaining equipment and running tests without interfering with production schedules. While not requiring support to come in on a Saturday or Sunday.

It works out pretty well for us, except when production does ot on Fridays for weeks in a row and the other stuff can’t get done…

I went to dragon con one year, people were dressed in all sorts of costumes even though it’s not a furry con. And I know the hotels where the con is are incredibly hard to book. That said just once I want some senior executive to accidently book a room in one because he has some meeting with a potential client of something and just so happen to click it at the right time.

He shows up and is completely bewildered by all the people in costumes. “you’ll never believe it mark. I rode down the elevator with a robot and I swear to God… Tiny from Bob’s burgers”

I do this alot but I alway follow up with “Do you know what blah is?” and depending on age/experience/acronym or term I ask them to explain it.

Sometimes I get assigned work with a senior engineer(where I learn) and sometimes I get asked to help a new person. For example right now I’m in a project being driven by a senior engineer but was asked to assist a professional development program employee(or pdp) to actually execute the project. As a result this is the habit I developed to 1. Make sure I don’t confuse people with random acronyms or terms 2. Ensure we are on the same regarding definition(and they are not just saying yes I know when they don’t).

Delete if self-promotion is not allowed but I am looking for capital funding for my new startup featuring Ham based boneless chicken wings…all the fun of boneless chicken wings with the added fun of ham. It will be a sensation!

*not actually looking for funding or a self-promotion…its a joke

Hold up… You thought maybe you downloaded malware (which in this case that was not the only cause) so you took it upon yourself to reinstall windows on a company issued laptop?

1. Why are you trying to fix it? Submit It ticket and it’s their problem.

2. If you suspect malware alert it security immediately. Many malware act as a gateway to lock other systems. Yes you might get in trouble but I’d rather be yelled at for downloading something then yelled at for infecting my company servers will ransomware/malware.

3. Atleast in my company a computer connecting without a company supplied image of windows will be denied. Completely understand you not connecting to the internet.

4. This problem was not caused by you but could of been… Take this as a lesson to be more proactive in the future.

If I confess to what I did on a dare is that a truth or dare?

In the apartment I just moved out of, even after several complaints I had summer electric bills $600+ and it was still hot…night before I moved it was 91 outside and 89 inside. So far my new apartment is better but haven’t seen any electric bills yet
