I use a small mom & pop pharmacy but some things I have to get from a supplier or Kroger

I don't have a Advantage, only RX. I have 3 different insurance plans

Doctor prescribed something covered as DME that mom & pop don't do

I called Kroger to have them make sure they run it as Red White & Blue Medicare instead of RX

The lady wanted to argue. One reason why we don't use them for all is because they won't bill the right insurer & then say stuff isn't covered, causing me more work

I don't work for you

Autocorrect keeps changing casket to gasket.

Although I don't write about caskets that often, and AC might think it is doing the right thing when it changes casket to gasket, it changes the entire flow of the conversation, post or writing. 😂

PSA: With that said, always make sure your casket has a good gasket. :awesome:

’s Republican Gov. Mike DeWine said Thursday that he is calling a special session of the General Assembly next week to pass legislation ensuring President Joe is on the state’s 2024 ballot.

Ohio here. The mood is very different, as is the GOP rhetoric about it. I don't see them passing it out of RWNJ revolt. That's my feeling living here, amongst these gerrymandered monsters.

    Today has been a weird news day for religion, esp the Catholic franchise. I have my own weird post up. 😆

    In today's episode of, 'Don't legislate your religion on me...'

    Pope clears way for 'God's influencer' to become a saint

    15-year-old web designer, archiver, whose proficiency at spreading the teachings of the Catholic church online led to him being called "God's influencer" - will be the first millennial sainted

    He died from acute promyelocytic leukemia in 2006

    His corpse is on display in a glass casket in a Catholic church

    The franchise of Christianity I was raised on grabbed rattlesnakes and dared it to bite in order to prove faith, and one person would scream out strange noises while someone else was the only one to understand what God or holy Ghost was saying. 😂

    I'll take role-playing over a snake bite anyway. 😆

    @paul@oldfriends.live avatar

    @tiamat271
    My post was meant more to the whack doo's, like evangelicals and the right-wing US Catholic church wanting to incorporate their religion into governing me and not really about the kid or veneration. Also, the glass casket causes me some ilk.

    I was raised with snake handlers. Give my people a shot at legislation, NOT. lol.

    I don't believe in veneration but have no real qualms if others do, religion is their right, as long as I won't be forced to practice it in the future.😉

    My self-hosted Mastodon instance is running so smooth, it's like it got a hold of some uppers or illicit drugs or something & is in a drug-induced energy spree

    A burst of energy

    Really weird

    Waiting for it to crash and die now. lol. That's usually how it works for me, irl

    The performance is so much better. I did nothing. Maybe my Sidekiq automatic restart settings caused a restart and caused it to clear something out of the memory, etc. Duh, I looked, nope. Not it. Enjoying while I can🤓

    We get zero OTA TV signals

    Tonight was the first night it hurt after #Spectrum stopped #cableCard support in our area and cut our card off. We had several finales going on. I'm not paying for their dvr service. I've recorded over the air or via cablecard for +30 years

    The tv season is about up and by the next, we will have a remote DVR/PVR setup

    We're putting a TV tuner in my brother's system, he has A+ OTA sig & he has fiber

    #NextPVR will run it there and we will m3u tuner it into #JellyFin

    2/ ⬆️ Also, I will never, probably ever, stop bitching about this.

    As I am over 50 yrs old now, this will probably be the thing I bitch about the rest of my life.

    You know, the thing 30 yrs ago that pissed your 80 yr old granddad off and every time you visit him he brings it up and tells you the entire story like it happened yesterday?

    Yeah, this is my thing.That and the FCC screwing me out of OTA signals

    paul,
    @paul@oldfriends.live avatar

    @DemocracySpot

    When we moved here and had to get the cablecard because there were no OTA antenna signals, I thought that was the low point.

    We wouldn't have bought this house if we had known that.

    Cable TV is equal to like 1/4th of our house payment.

    We didn't have cable for over a decade, before.

    After this week, we won't have it again. Hello streaming local channels for under $50 per month. Only had Spectrum cable for the CableCard service these past 5-years.

    @paul@oldfriends.live avatar

    @DemocracySpot

    Upset the FCC under Biden didn't stop what the Trump FCC put in place by letting them get rid of the long-protected CableCard service.

    My forever bitching story has several different angles. Going to be a complete package for the young ones. lol

    This brings back memories of the days of fighting the cassette player and how often I'd lose 10 seconds here, 30 seconds there, scotch taping the cassette tape back together after the Walkman got hungry and tried to eat it. Sometimes, you'd lose the most emotional part of a song.

    Rudy Giuliani was pissed he had to put up a 10K appearance bond for Arizona's #FakeElector case. But it's necessary because he's a deadbeat.

    #RudyColludy hasn't paid the $148 million he owes #RubyFreeman & #ShayeMosshe for defaming them.

    Trump owes #Giuliani 's soul, and he ain't paying off.

    I'm tagging @salgentile because Seth Meyer's is off this week & I used the photo of Rudy that they use of #Rudy for A Closer Look.

    Here he is at the sunset of his life. I can't think of a better way for the sun to set on a man who has been so nasty most of his life, though the media elevated him at one point.

    He could have just skated retirement along and went out the hero that 911 manufactured for him.

    Extract, transform, load (ETL) is a three-phase process where data is extracted from a database, transformed (including cleaning), and loaded into an output data container.

    Zero-ETL integration is a type of data integration that doesn’t involve the use of the conventional extract, transform and load (ETL) processes. In a zero-ETL setup, data is transferred directly from one system to another without the need for any intermediary steps to transform or clean the data.
