2023.06.08 14:44 Dashboard62 Internet ID Scam
I've been talking with a person online for a while. Of course, he thinks he has gained my trust but I'm not that naive. He was in the US when we met online, but said he was going to Germany to work on a large contract and will make lots of money. States that he works trouble shooting 5G cell service. He wants me to give him my internet account and ID and password so he can purchase iPhone and iPads with American serial numbers. He wants to send them to me here in the US and then I send them to him in Germany. He says he will pay for everything and that it won't cost me a dime. This sounds very suspect to me. I would like some opinions on this from members.

2023.06.08 14:44 BobsterWat Significant Incoming Positive MDMA Catalysts Explained (Today Noon EDT)
Hello all.
I’m just a regular retail investor that is active within various investor communities. I am not affiliated with any publicly traded companies. Recently I’ve taken to sharing information with other investors in live webinars and the reception has been terrific. I have been asked by a number of investors here and on other platforms if I could provide some insights on some pivotal upcoming developments in the psychedelic sector. So today at noon EDT, I will host yet another one of those webinars where I will cover high level details of 2 very significant positive catalysts that center around the drug MDMA that are due in just days and/or weeks. This will not focus on any one company in the psychedelic sector but rather the catalysts themselves. I would like to extend the invitation to all of you.

2023.06.08 14:44 ShelleBelle777 No, I’m not a corporate troll; I’m a partner who follows standards. It’s not that hard.
In response to (too many) customer posts about partners not shaking teas or refreshers, or cutting corners with other drinks:
Starbucks training explicitly states QUALITY over SPEED, (many can do both). They emphasise it over and over again in Barista First 30. If your store is short-staffed, you’re just not going to meet window times. 🤷🏻♀️
As a customer, I will make the barista remake the drink for me and then let’s see whose focused on time at the window. Your attitude/eye rolling isn’t going to phase me when I ask why you’re making my refresher in my cup instead of the shaker, or why you’re “eye-balling” the measurements. (And, btw, it’s wasn’t even peak.)
We use shakers to distribute flavours and create an even, cold temp throughout.
Customers: we are trained to make the moment right, to focus on quality, and ensure you leave us happy/satisfied with your order. Please don’t abuse this and use it as a reason to treat us with disrespect and an attitude of superiority. No, we can’t please all of the people all of the time - we have learned this, despite us being kind and courteous to you).
Yes, we do get miserable, nasty customers who are unhappy with their lives, or having a bad day and take it out on us and everyone around them, and will complain about everything (including blaming us when they didn’t order correctly), but we are here for … NUMBER 1 … customer connection/satisfaction.
(I had a customer ask me if we ate the bacon on her Bacon Gouda because there wasn’t a lot of meat on it and complained that we didn’t make her venti pike (black, unsweetened) correctly). —- I had a customer (from out of state) go off at me (and I was on warming, called to the window by the DTO) because no one in our store knew what a “black eye” was, including our manager. I told her I knew what a “red eye” was, and that I thought her drink might be 2 shots in the dark (roast). (Turns out, SHE had no idea what it was either), and said she’s been to all the Starbucks and “everyone” knows what it is, that it IS a standard drink and there IS a button for it (after I told her it/there wasn’t). She said she was going to call corporate about it 🤷🏻♀️
(I even Googled it and she got mad that I was doing that). “Ma’am, I’m just trying to make sure you leave with the drink you want, we want you to leave satisfied, so if you tell me what goes in it…. (she wanted milk, syrups, etc).” Nothing. Nothing worked. She just had no idea that it was 2 shots in a brewed coffee. You can’t win ‘em all). —- Partners are human, so they might also be having a bad day, and coupled with the negative energy of the customer, it can be doubly unpleasant. However, we are also trained how to handle difficult customers, and it’s NOT with “attitude”.
We cannot and will not tolerate abusive customers. Partners, if you’re being triggered, call another partner or your supervisomanager to take over.
I will always be a customer first because I was one for 13 years before becoming a partner. I didn’t want to be “that customer” who kept asking for a remake, but if I ask for a cappuccino, I don’t want a latte - I want milk with my coffee, not coffee with my milk. So I decided to join Starbucks and make my own. 😊
Let me tell you, I appreciate what Starbucks partners do so much more now that I am one - and I’m focused on quality and standards because I see everything from a customer’s perspective. I won’t get mad if they order a “vintage coffee” or a “tall grande iced coffee” or 50.000 pumps of 25 different syrups upside down blonde Ristretto, sub [milk] with whip and extra foam and extra extra extra caramel drizzle. It will take a while, but I have 2 hands and can only go as fast as I can (once I read and re-read your order).
So, customers - we work REALLY hard to give you what you want. It takes a lot of teamwork (and if we’re short staffed, a lot of stress) to get you your order.
Partners, take a deep breath, do your best and make it fun. If you hate your job, or your store, there are many resources available - or find another one somewhere else, perhaps at another store. I’ve learned that some of you have bad leaders and don’t know that working at Starbucks doesn’t have to be what you’re experiencing. It also could just be you 🤷🏻♀️ and what YOU bring to the table.
Our world is us pushed out.

(TSX.V:MMG)(OTCQB:MMNGF) ("Metallic Minerals" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that Wolfgang Maier, Ph.D., recognized in both academic and industry circles for his expertise in geoscience and, particularly, magmatic systems has joined the Company as Senior Geological Advisor. Dr. Maier has 30 years of global experience and, in addition to authoring or co-authoring 144 publications which have received more than 7,000 citations to date, he has been a contributing author or editor of numerous books, monographs, and geological maps. Dr. Maier studied geology at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, Germany and at Rhodes University, South Africa, including doctoral studies on the Bushveld Complex in 1992. He taught igneous petrology and economic geology at the Universities of Pretoria (South Africa), University of Quebec at Chicoutimi (Canada), UWA (Australia), and Oulu (Finland) before joining Cardiff University in 2013, where he is currently a professor with the School of Earth and Environmental Sciences. As part of his academic pursuits, Dr. Maier is keenly interested in increasing the efficiency and sustainability of both exploration and mining. Dr. Maier commented, "I am very impressed with the potential of Metallic Minerals' North American projects and excited to contribute to the exceptional teams assembled by the broader Metallic Group of Companies. Getting on the ground at Metallic's La Plata site and Stillwater Critical Minerals' Stillwater West project this summer will be an excellent opportunity to connect in person and to study first-hand the compelling geology represented by both these assets." Metallic Minerals President, Scott Petsel, stated, "Dr. Maier, brings not only his experience and knowledge to Metallic, but he puts passion and energy into everything he does. From our first encounter, where he made immediate contributions to our understanding of the presence of platinum group elements as part of the mineralization at the La Plata Project, Colorado, I knew he would be a great advisor to our already strong team. We welcome Dr. Maier and look forward to working with him on Metallic Projects as we anticipate announcement of an updated resource estimate at the La Plata Copper-Gold-Silver-PGE project in Colorado, as well as start of 2023 drilling and completion of modelling towards an inaugural resource at the Keno Silver Project in Yukon, Canada." Yukon Mining Alliance 2023 Property Tours Metallic Minerals will once again be participating in the Yukon Mining Alliance Property Tours and Investment Conference in Dawson City on July 19th. Select tour participants will visit Metallic's Keno Silver Project adjacent to Hecla Mining's Keno Hill operations on July 17th, as well as our Australia Creek alluvial gold property, currently under lease to Parker Schnabel's Little Flake Mining as seen on Discovery Channel's Gold Rush television program. More information about the YMA Property Tours and Conference can be found here. For more information about Metallic's lease agreement with Little Flake Mining, click here. About Metallic Minerals Metallic Minerals Corp. is a leading exploration and development stage company focused on copper, silver, gold and other critical minerals in the La Plata mining district in Colorado, and silver and gold in the high-grade Keno Hill and Klondike districts of the Yukon. Our objective is to create shareholder value through a systematic, entrepreneurial approach to making exploration discoveries, growing resources, and advancing projects toward development. At the Company's La Plata project in southwestern Colorado, the 2022 inaugural NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate identified a significant porphyry copper-silver resource containing 889 Mlbs copper and 15 Moz of silver. Results from 2022 expansion drilling intercepted the longest and highest-grade interval ever encountered at La Plata and one of the top intersections for any North American copper project in the past several years. An updated NI 43-101 resource estimate for the La Plata project incorporating these results is expected in Q2 2023. In the 2023 Fraser Institute's Annual Survey of Mining Companies, Colorado ranked 5th globally for investment attractiveness and 2nd in the USA. In Canada's Yukon Territory, Metallic Minerals has consolidated the second-largest land position in the historic high-grade Keno Hill silver district, directly adjacent to Hecla Mining's operations, with more than 300 Moz of high-grade silver in past production and current M&I resources. Hecla Mining Company, the largest primary silver producer in the USA and third largest in the world, completed the acquisition of Alexco Resources and their Keno Hill operations in September 2022. Hecla is targeting to start production at the Keno Hill operations by Q3 2023. Metallic is anticipating the announcement of inaugural mineral resource estimate at Keno Silver in the second half of 2023. Metallic Minerals is also one of the largest holders of alluvial gold claims in the Yukon and is building a production royalty business by partnering with experienced mining operators, including Parker Schnabel of Little Flake Mining from the hit television show, Gold Rush, on the Discovery Channel. All of the districts in which Metallic Minerals operates have seen significant mineral production and have existing infrastructure, including power and road access. Metallic Minerals is led by a team with a track record of discovery and exploration success on several major precious and base metal deposits in the region, as well as having large-scale development, permitting and project financing expertise. The Metallic Minerals team has been recognized for its environmental stewardship practices and is committed to responsible and sustainable resource development.

2023.06.08 14:44 Atyzze Angel Numbers: Messages from the Simulation?
Hello, fellow Snek Sim enthusiasts!
Today, I'd like to dive into a fascinating and mystical corner of our simulated universe - Angel Numbers. These numbers are believed to be sequences that you might repeatedly encounter, such as 111, 1234, or 777. For many, these numbers are seen as messages from the spiritual realm, or even the universe communicating with us.
But wait! In the context of our community’s exploration of the Simulation Hypothesis and non-duality, could there be an alternative interpretation?
Let's think about it: if we're living in a simulation, these numbers might not be messages from angels per se, but rather, they could be seen as ‘glitches’ or ‘codes’ from the simulation itself. These numbers might be our connection to the higher levels of the simulation, maybe even hints or nudges from the underlying code that forms the fabric of our reality.
From a non-dual perspective, it becomes even more intriguing. In a non-dual universe, there's no separation between us and the world; we are part of the code, and the code is part of us. In this sense, angel numbers could be seen as a way the simulation speaks through us or, perhaps, how we speak to ourselves through the simulation.
Here's where things get even more interesting. I recently stumbled upon a website, Sparks of Joy, which delves into the significance of various angel numbers. The interpretations provided there are steeped in spiritual wisdom.
For example, seeing 1111 might be seen as a sign of spiritual awakening. In the context of Snek Sim, could this be a point where the simulation is signaling us to become more aware of its presence? Or, is it a synchronization point in the code?
What if we approached these numbers not just as spiritual symbols, but as an exciting interplay between our consciousness and the simulation we dwell in?
I’d love to hear your thoughts. Have you ever encountered angel numbers? How do you interpret them within the Simulation Hypothesis and non-duality?
Let’s uncover the layers of this mystical code together.

2023.06.08 14:43 dominicho12 Current account switching, is it safe to do so? Any risks?
Hi all
I've been reading a few 'Money experts' like Martin Lewis and Be Clever with Your Cash. I'm wondering if it's safe to keep switching my current accounts every few weeks, or should I stop for a month and then carry applying and switching?
At the moment I currently have 3 accounts;
1 which is my main where my salary is (I just switched)
1 which is my everyday spending (with pots for savings)
1 which I barely use (I also applied for a switch)
I know it will affect my credit score but currently (at least from my new bank) it's saying I have excellent credit rating. I don't mind dipping down before bringing it back up. Furthermore, I also just set up a savings account with one of the switches I just made. Plus I opened a new current account (for a second dummy).
My questions are;

Furthermore, I also just set up a savings account with one of the switches I just made. Plus I opened a new current account (for a second dummy).
My questions are;
- Is it safe to use two dummy accounts and keep switching them every few weeks to month? Or should I wait after every few months?
- Should I tell my employer my new account or will that be handled automatically by the banks? I know the Current Switch Scheme says I don't need too as the banks will transfer one over to the next, but should I tell my employer just in case?
- One of the banks I have switched too is part of Natwest Groups. Can I use my other bank outside the group to switch to it (which is where my dummy accounts are) and get incentive to do so? I read some people have success. Whiles others didn't.
- Say potentially I make 6 current accounts. Will leaving the accounts open be better than closing them (I heard if I close it will affect credit rating)
- What risks are there if I keep doing this besides credit rating going lower?
2023.06.08 14:43 PelotonMod [Power Rankings] r/peloton Power Rankings - 8 June 2023
This week we didn't get so many ballots in the voting thread.. perhaps everyone was just excited about the TdF favourites list or perhaps the Netflix: Unchained series is on everyone's mind?
As a quick reminder here is how things stood last week. And this week?
Men's Rankings
Dropped out of Top 10: Gee, Healy, Cavendish
Have we forgotten our Giro d'Italia heroes already?? Pretty interesting to see how Laporte leaps up the rankings as the Giro guys fall. Also the gap between Van der Poel and Van Aert seems pretty huge at the moment. What will happen next week after the Dauphine? I guess we'll just have to wait any find out!
Women's Rankings
Dropped out of Top 10: Realini, Vos
Very few voters this week and we have a change at the top of the rankings, with Wiebes unseating Vollering! Kool continues to climb and there are a few other shakeups but overall similar to last week, despite the low number of voters..
How'd we do? Think we missed something? If so, be sure to vote in next week's TTT thread! It only takes a few seconds to drop a Power Ranking for men's or women's in the comments!
As always, special thanks to this week's voters: danihr0893, fewfiet , u/Moldef, significant_log_4693 !

Have we forgotten our Giro d'Italia heroes already?? Pretty interesting to see how Laporte leaps up the rankings as the Giro guys fall. Also the gap between Van der Poel and Van Aert seems pretty huge at the moment. What will happen next week after the Dauphine? I guess we'll just have to wait any find out!

Very few voters this week and we have a change at the top of the rankings, with Wiebes unseating Vollering! Kool continues to climb and there are a few other shakeups but overall similar to last week, despite the low number of voters..
As always, special thanks to this week's voters: danihr0893, fewfiet , u/Moldef, significant_log_4693 !
2023.06.08 14:43 EncounteredError Home virtualization server
Hey everyone, I have a Cisco C240 M4 and I'm running about 8 VM's off of it. I want to add a VM with a GPU passed through to it. The C240 has a spot to plug in a cable to then plug into the GPU for power but I cannot find the part in stock anywhere online.
I was hoping that someone here would be able to point me in the right direction to obtaining one. I have the part number UCSC-GPUCBL-240M4. I got it from the manual for my server so I know that is the correct one.
I look forward to any help you guys can provide.
Thanks.

First / Previous / Next
It's still early, so we go and find a cafe and have lunch. Once again, I don't have to use my voice, they just give us our meal for free. I really should get an idea about money though. I know they are called Skys, I know at least part of them are small green metallic coins - actually they look like the same metal the Throne and Chairs are made out of, I wonder if they are - and I know that everyone uses them here to buy stuff. I should ask about banks. We should pay a visit to one. I'm sure they'd be... happy to explain it to me.
That's for later though. For now, we work our way to the dock, and find the internal docking bay that Omar found.
Walking in, it becomes clear that we have a lot of work ahead. High Line is in here thanks to Omar earlier and it's...
It's junk.
Even when it was operating, it was clearly made up of a hodgepodge of between three and five different starships. This thing has been limping along on patches and ad hoc repairs for centuries it looks like.
Human ships from our side of the galaxy tend to be very personalized. Riots of color, patterns, little flourishes here and there that speak to the tastes and preferences of the operator. It's probably a function of the fact that all our ships are AI operated. It's their body, and they decorate and personalize it.
High Line is... downright drab in comparison.
Grey on grey with streaks of soot and... is that rust? It looks like rust. What would rust on a spacecraft hull? High Line is all boxes and blocks stuck together where they fit or where a need was found. I'm much more used to the sweeping, flowing shapes the Starjumpers have. In addition to looking fast, they look much more elegant. Even our smaller ships, the Frigates and Destroyers tend towards looking more like living creatures than... a box.
As I walk around staring at things and - apparently - making a sour face, Starlight, Ocean and River are standing there, looking nervous and worried. "So Empress... Here is High Line. We admit, it's a little more worse for wear than the ship you came to us on, but.." Starlight stands a little taller. "It got my forebears here all those years ago and through all that time put many light-years on it shuttling people around the system and still held air and gravity. It's not much to look at, but it was ours."
I mean, they're right. Maybe I'm being too hard on it. They got centuries of use out of with with barely any maintenance. All the more reason to refit it right and make it soar once again.
Omar seems like he's having a great time. Walking around, taking measurements going in and out. "Melody, it might not be much to look at now, but it's actually a pretty good foundation! We can add some improved thrusters, beef up the armor, add a wormhole generator and some laser batteries and while we won't be able to take on a dreadnought or even a Starjumper, we'll be able to hold our own against anything local we've seen. It's got plenty of room inside too. You won't have a suite of rooms like at the Royal Dawn, but I should be able to make you an... appropriately royal room.
"At this point a starship is better than no starship so I'll take what I can get. How long will the refit take, Omar?"
He looks at the ship, at the Aviens and then at me. "It will depend on their printer and how well we can integrate the designs from my copy of the database but maybe a month? Hopefully less?"
"Well then, you had better get started Omar. You spend your time getting High Line up to your satisfaction, and let me know about your progress. For now, we will be staying at the Royal Dawn. I don't know if there's other royal quarters that we just haven't found or if the hotel is made out of the original royal quarters, but I'm satisfied with our current accommodations. Make your own schedule and if you need something or someone, just let me know. Starlight" - I look pointedly at them - "can help you with any personnel needs you have." Starlight bobs their head eagerly. "If you need to speak to me or the others, you should be able to though the Reach. Just... concentrate and it should work."
"Okay Melody, I'll get on it. Come on Starlight, show me the printer. Ocean, go see what kind of help you can find for us. River, go see about the condition of the other starships. Some of them have to be operable, how else is food getting here?" Omar looks up at us as the Aviens run off in different directions to obey Omar. "What happened to Ottarn, that Mariens who took their ship and tried to run? If nothing else, we could use that ship."
"They went with FarReach. They told me that they scooped up Ottarn and their ship and were going to take them where they wanted to go."
"Hmm, do you think that means back to human space?" Um'reli asks and she's looking at the ship.
"I have no idea, I don't think so? I'm not sure what they'd find out there to benefit them."
This time Ava puts her hands on her hips and stares at us. "You mean, other that some sympathetic ears to listen to their story about a human who has installed herself as Empress in their space and might be willing to lend a hand with a couple of Starjumpers and their assorted lasers and missiles? You did lock the Gate after FarReach left, right?"
Uh oh. I forgot.
"Uh, sure thing Ava, let me just go... double check that it's locked. I reach out and I can feel the Gate from here though it's faint and... fuzzy. The lock was simple enough though I push here... pull that... and...
"Okay, yes, it's locked."
"Good. We don't want Ottarn coming back with reinforcements or something just yet. Later though... let them come. We'll show them." Ava's grin is worrying me a little bit. She seems much too excited about showing off.
I grab Ava and Um'reli "Come on, let's leave Omar to his work. We have other things to take care of. I think we're going to have to hire on some help, but before that we're going to have to figure out money."
Ava scoffs as we walk "You're still going on about money? Just make people help us out."
"Ava we're looking to help out here, not be overthrown in a couple weeks. If I make people help us, the moment we walk away people will start to wonder why they're helping us at all."
"Melody has a point Ava. What is it that we do here?" Um'reli is really good at throwing cold water on Ava's plans. I'm glad she came. Without her I have a hunch that Ava would be talking me into all kinds of bad ideas.
"Builders seem to work like the AIs on Starbases back home. So it's not like we have no job."
"Well then, let's go back to the Throne and do some work. I'm tired of walking around trying to mooch free stuff from people because they're scared of Melody." Um'reli stars walking back towards the Throne. I really don't have anything else to do, so I follow. "You coming, Ava?"
"I guess. I don't have anything else to do." Ava looks around somewhat wistfully and follows. I wonder what she was hoping to do instead. Probably have me order people to give her something.
As we walk into the entryway to the Throne - there's still no back door, I really need to find one or make one - something catches my eye. I walk over and... "It's a shrine"
"What?" Ava peeks over my shoulder "Oh, it's beautiful."
It really is. Someone made a drawing of us in some kind of pastel medium, like pencils or chalk. It's... me at the top, my wings spread wide and I'm glowing. Below that, it's Um'reli, Ava and Omar standing tall and proud looking up. Under that is a decent representation of hundreds of people bowing before us. Written on the bottom in the same local script I see all over it says "May They Protect Us." The drawing is on a little easel and there are flowers and candles all around it in a semicircle.
Protect them from what though?
"These flowers are amazing! I've never seen ones like this before" Um'reli bends down to get a closer look. She takes a deep breath "And they smell so good, Ava, Melody, you should smell them!"
Well if Um'reli, a K'laxi can smell them and not immediately break out in allergic hives, it's probably fine for us to smell too. I bend down low and... they smell... familiar? Why is that?
Ava straightens "These were grown. We need to find out where the gardens are and visit it!"
Um'reli stands as well. "After we get some work done Ava. We need to show everyone that we do something and aren't a drain on resources because Melody can order them around and they can't say no."
"What's the point of all this power if we don't use it!"
"Ava, we 'use it' like you want to and people will come after us with guns and knives. Who was the Empress before Melody?" Um'reli is looking hard at Ava.
"We have no idea."
"Exactly." Um'reli continues up the stairs to the Throne itself. I follow and Ava pouts but doesn't say anything further.
In the Builder room, Um'reli and Ava sit down. Their bodies go distant and they are integrating. "Okay Ava, Um'reli. You get down to work, I'm going to see about finding a bank and talking to them. Any idea where one is?"
"One moment Melody..." Ava is searching. "Okay, looks like a bank is down the street from the Administration building. It's not far."
"Thanks! Just reach out to me if you need anything." I head back out and down the stairs of the throne, passing by the little shine again. It really is cute, though I wish they put something a little more specific about what they wanted us to protect them from. Oh well, with our luck we'll find out soon enough.
It's not actually a long walk to the bank, Ava was right, it was just down the street from the Administration building. As I walk past I see that a couple people are cleaning up the barricades finally. I wave as I walk by, and they stand smartly and bow. Nice.
Soon enough, I come across what I assume is the bank. It's a large building, made out of the same material as the Administration building, marking it as very old. There is a large double door in the front made of what looks like the same metal as the coins everyone uses. The doors stand open with two people (an Azurian and a Mariens) standing out front. With a little wave to them, I walk in.
It's... a bank. Really. Tellers, little booths where people can discuss finance, even a little table before you get in line to fill out small slips of paper. I walk over to an Aviens who is sitting at a desk by the front door. They look up and do a double take when they see me. I'm not wearing my wings and crown anymore, but I still have on the gown from earlier.
"Uh, good day Holy One, what may this one help you with?" Holy One. Interesting.
"I would like to speak to the Bank Manager, please."
They rush to stand and their chair slides back with a squawk. "Of course, Holy One. Please, wait right here." The gesture over to a small group of chairs up against the wall. I can't really think of a reason why not, so I go over and sit.
Next to me is one of the pressure suited people. Up close, I can see how their suits are segmented metal colored bronze and completely decorated in elaborate carvings. They really are quite beautiful. Their helmets are almost completely featureless except for a bar where human eyes would be and there is what looks like a speaker on their neck.
I clear my throat. "Pardon me, I'm so sorry, but I haven't met one of you yet. Can you tell me your name and the name of your people?"
With just the most subtle clank and whir, they turn their head. "I am known as Vaaqo, and here, people call us Falor in your tongue." His head inclines slightly. "That is to say, the language that most people here speak call us Falor. I do not know your word for us in your Builder tongue."
"Falor is fine with me." I say brightly, and then stop. "Unless it is insulting to you or something."
They make a gesture with their hands. The Nanites indicate that they are indicating no. Oh, that makes sense! If they're suited all the time, most body language markers are lost. Hand gestures could take over for a bunch of nonspeaking conversation.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Vaaqo, thank you so much for the information. I have so many questions, but I will only ask one for now. Do you have to stay in your suit all the time?"
The same gesture meaning no. "We are fortunate that the upper sunward lobe of the Reach has a pressure door. We're able to maintain our helium methane atmosphere and higher ambient pressure and live suit free. The remains of our starship are installed up there, and we use it to control our own breathing gas."
They took their ship apart to survive? "Oh but that means you're trapped here! Once we open the gates and build more ships, we can send a message to your people."
Another gesture. The Nanites say it might be a smile "That is kind of you to offer, Empress. Before... well before, we were in the middle of a war. We were offered refuge here and so we do not know if any others of our kind remain. It will be... nice to find out for sure."
They're holding something back. I think they don't want to insult you.
It's fine. I see no need to compel them to tell me what they're hiding. It's probably something embarrassing to them or they think to me.
Luckily for all of us, you have no shame.
Ha ha.
As I argue with my Nanites, a Mariens walks up, looking nervous. "Hol-Empress, what a pleasant surprise. Thank you for taking the time to visit our fine financial establishment! My name is Utaid and I am at your service." He bows elaborately.
I stand and try to tower only slightly. I want to impress, not intimidate. "The pleasure is all mine Utaid, I am happy to have met you. I wish to open an account so that I will be able to pay people for services they render me."
They look shocked. "E-Empress, of course. We will do everything in our power to help. Since... all here is yours that of course includes all the money stored in the different banks across the Reach."
I nod. "While this is true, I am not a tyrant. I wish to make sure that people are paid and that operations continue as closely to before as possible. Please accept payment requests that come in from people in my name and keep records. We will do our utmost to make sure that the money going in is equal to or greater than the money coming out... in the long term."
They visibly relax. I wonder if they thought I was just going to come in and demand all the currency?
"It will be our most sincere pleasure Empress. We are proud that you have selected us to carry out your financial orders in Your name. We shall set up everything and dispatch a runner to you when it has been completed. I assume you are residing at the Royal Dawn hotel?"
"Yes, that's correct. How did you know?"
They look smug and embarrassed? How did they manage that? "Even though Reach of the Might of Vzzx is a very large starbase, rumors still seem to fly faster than light."
"Ah, thank you Utaid for all your help. I await your runners." They bow low again and I walk out.
Huh, that was easy. I guess people are starting to realize that I really am Empress and I really am trying to help everyone. Feeling very happy, I begin to walk back to the Throne.
"Uh, Melody there might be a problem." Um'reli's voice sounds worried in my head. She figured out how to contact me directly, very nice!
"What is it Um'reli?"
"Just a minute ago, I saw what looked like an alert. Ava and I checked it out and there's something going on at the main transit hub station. We either don't understand the alert or can't ready it yet. Can you check it out please?"
"Oh neat! I haven't been there yet. Sure, I'll go down and check it out. You two stay up there and be my eyes and ears."
The transit station is right around the corner from the bank. It reminds me a lot of photos of transit stations back on Earth. platforms, people milling about, advertising. But I see no crowds or anything worrying. I connect to the Starbase and think to Ava and Um'reli "I don't see any problem here, what's going on?"
"It's not here, it's at the main station. Get on the next train and ride two stops, you'll see it."
Oh, okay. Just as Ava finished speaking, a train rolls up. Like a lot of this place, it clearly was very fancy a long long time ago. The fact that it's still working is pretty impressive, even if it looks a bit run down. I walk on, and look around. There are seats all along the walls of the train car and poles along the middle to hang on to. Mentally I shrug and sit down near the door. After a moment, there's a trilling chime and the doors close.
With a lurch and a hiss of brakes, we get moving. I wonder if this train is automated, or if someone drives it. I should ask later. I'm lost in thought for the ride through the first station stop, but then I look around and realize everyone is staring at me.
"Oh, Hello!" I say brightly.
Immediately, the people closest to me drop to the ground, bowing their heads. "Oh, thank you, but you don't have to do that right now, please just sit. I'm just riding the train over to the hub station. My Builders tell me there's some kind of issue and I'm going to check it out."
"But, Empress... Surely you have people that you can send to do that for you?" It's a Mariens sitting across from me. They look amused.
"Oh not right now. I'm... between retainers and assistants right now. One of my Builders, Omar is helping to repair the High Line, that Aviens ship, and my other two, Ava and Um'reli are sitting in their Chairs, assisting with the operation of the Reach." Oh wait. "Do you want a job? I do find myself needing more people to help out with-" I gesture "-all this. I'm not sure how much to pay yet but I did just come back from the bank, so I'll be able to pay you; I'm sure I'll work all the rest out soon enough."
The Mariens chuckles "Thank you for the generous offer Empress, but I quite like my job. If you so order it... of course I'd help. If you're just asking though, no thank you."
"Oh, that's quite all right. I don't want to order you. But, if you know anyone that would like to help, have them come to the Throne chamber tomorrow, we'll see what we can do!" I look around at everyone trying very hard to look like they're not listening in. "That goes for anyone here too! If you want a job, come see us, if you know someone that does, send them. I need help, and I would love for it to be you!"
And with that same trilling chime, the doors open and I'm at the hub station.
Ah. Okay. I see what Ava and Um'reli are talking about.
There's a riot.

Next to me is one of the pressure suited people. Up close, I can see how their suits are segmented metal colored bronze and completely decorated in elaborate carvings. They really are quite beautiful. Their helmets are almost completely featureless except for a bar where human eyes would be and there is what looks like a speaker on their neck.
I clear my throat. "Pardon me, I'm so sorry, but I haven't met one of you yet. Can you tell me your name and the name of your people?"
With just the most subtle clank and whir, they turn their head. "I am known as Vaaqo, and here, people call us Falor in your tongue." His head inclines slightly. "That is to say, the language that most people here speak call us Falor. I do not know your word for us in your Builder tongue."
"Falor is fine with me." I say brightly, and then stop. "Unless it is insulting to you or something."
They make a gesture with their hands. The Nanites indicate that they are indicating no. Oh, that makes sense! If they're suited all the time, most body language markers are lost. Hand gestures could take over for a bunch of nonspeaking conversation.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Vaaqo, thank you so much for the information. I have so many questions, but I will only ask one for now. Do you have to stay in your suit all the time?"
The same gesture meaning no. "We are fortunate that the upper sunward lobe of the Reach has a pressure door. We're able to maintain our helium methane atmosphere and higher ambient pressure and live suit free. The remains of our starship are installed up there, and we use it to control our own breathing gas."
They took their ship apart to survive? "Oh but that means you're trapped here! Once we open the gates and build more ships, we can send a message to your people."
Another gesture. The Nanites say it might be a smile "That is kind of you to offer, Empress. Before... well before, we were in the middle of a war. We were offered refuge here and so we do not know if any others of our kind remain. It will be... nice to find out for sure."
They're holding something back. I think they don't want to insult you.
It's fine. I see no need to compel them to tell me what they're hiding. It's probably something embarrassing to them or they think to me.
Luckily for all of us, you have no shame.
Ha ha.
As I argue with my Nanites, a Mariens walks up, looking nervous. "Hol-Empress, what a pleasant surprise. Thank you for taking the time to visit our fine financial establishment! My name is Utaid and I am at your service." He bows elaborately.
I stand and try to tower only slightly. I want to impress, not intimidate. "The pleasure is all mine Utaid, I am happy to have met you. I wish to open an account so that I will be able to pay people for services they render me."
They look shocked. "E-Empress, of course. We will do everything in our power to help. Since... all here is yours that of course includes all the money stored in the different banks across the Reach."
I nod. "While this is true, I am not a tyrant. I wish to make sure that people are paid and that operations continue as closely to before as possible. Please accept payment requests that come in from people in my name and keep records. We will do our utmost to make sure that the money going in is equal to or greater than the money coming out... in the long term."
They visibly relax. I wonder if they thought I was just going to come in and demand all the currency?
"It will be our most sincere pleasure Empress. We are proud that you have selected us to carry out your financial orders in Your name. We shall set up everything and dispatch a runner to you when it has been completed. I assume you are residing at the Royal Dawn hotel?"
"Yes, that's correct. How did you know?"
They look smug and embarrassed? How did they manage that? "Even though Reach of the Might of Vzzx is a very large starbase, rumors still seem to fly faster than light."
"Ah, thank you Utaid for all your help. I await your runners." They bow low again and I walk out.
Huh, that was easy. I guess people are starting to realize that I really am Empress and I really am trying to help everyone. Feeling very happy, I begin to walk back to the Throne.
"Uh, Melody there might be a problem." Um'reli's voice sounds worried in my head. She figured out how to contact me directly, very nice!
"What is it Um'reli?"
"Just a minute ago, I saw what looked like an alert. Ava and I checked it out and there's something going on at the main transit hub station. We either don't understand the alert or can't ready it yet. Can you check it out please?"
"Oh neat! I haven't been there yet. Sure, I'll go down and check it out. You two stay up there and be my eyes and ears."
The transit station is right around the corner from the bank. It reminds me a lot of photos of transit stations back on Earth. platforms, people milling about, advertising. But I see no crowds or anything worrying. I connect to the Starbase and think to Ava and Um'reli "I don't see any problem here, what's going on?"
"It's not here, it's at the main station. Get on the next train and ride two stops, you'll see it."
Oh, okay. Just as Ava finished speaking, a train rolls up. Like a lot of this place, it clearly was very fancy a long long time ago. The fact that it's still working is pretty impressive, even if it looks a bit run down. I walk on, and look around. There are seats all along the walls of the train car and poles along the middle to hang on to. Mentally I shrug and sit down near the door. After a moment, there's a trilling chime and the doors close.
With a lurch and a hiss of brakes, we get moving. I wonder if this train is automated, or if someone drives it. I should ask later. I'm lost in thought for the ride through the first station stop, but then I look around and realize everyone is staring at me.
"Oh, Hello!" I say brightly.
Immediately, the people closest to me drop to the ground, bowing their heads. "Oh, thank you, but you don't have to do that right now, please just sit. I'm just riding the train over to the hub station. My Builders tell me there's some kind of issue and I'm going to check it out."
"But, Empress... Surely you have people that you can send to do that for you?" It's a Mariens sitting across from me. They look amused.
"Oh not right now. I'm... between retainers and assistants right now. One of my Builders, Omar is helping to repair the High Line, that Aviens ship, and my other two, Ava and Um'reli are sitting in their Chairs, assisting with the operation of the Reach." Oh wait. "Do you want a job? I do find myself needing more people to help out with-" I gesture "-all this. I'm not sure how much to pay yet but I did just come back from the bank, so I'll be able to pay you; I'm sure I'll work all the rest out soon enough."
The Mariens chuckles "Thank you for the generous offer Empress, but I quite like my job. If you so order it... of course I'd help. If you're just asking though, no thank you."
"Oh, that's quite all right. I don't want to order you. But, if you know anyone that would like to help, have them come to the Throne chamber tomorrow, we'll see what we can do!" I look around at everyone trying very hard to look like they're not listening in. "That goes for anyone here too! If you want a job, come see us, if you know someone that does, send them. I need help, and I would love for it to be you!"
And with that same trilling chime, the doors open and I'm at the hub station.
Ah. Okay. I see what Ava and Um'reli are talking about.
There's a riot.

2023.06.08 14:43 throwawayforflint Suddenly very sad
I kinda wish I hadn't done it. I know it was a good thing to do but it made me very sad in the end. Is happiness finite? To give it to someone else you have to give it up for yourself? Seems like a shit way to go about things. Numbers, numbers, numbers, it's all about numbers. Get the numbers out of my head. I don't want to be sad today.

2023.06.08 14:43 Kelmon80 Aliens - Another Glorious Day in the Corps blips
Hello!
I recently bought the board game, and unfortunately, one of the punch-out cardboard sheets (EN3) was doubled, another one (EN4) missing. I lack the sentry gun tokens and 3 character boards.
While I have contacted the seller about it, in the meantime my problem is that I can't tell which blip tokens are doubles, and which ones are missing. Does anyone have a detailed component list for the base game (and ideally also the "Get Away from her" expansion)? Or could make a count of their blip token numbers? All I know and could find is that both base game and this expansion contain 21 blips each.
I have 18x (1), 6x (2), 15x (3), 3x (4) and 3x (5) - which obviously must be wrong.

2023.06.08 14:42 Caplockd From Leeds but stranded in the Philippines
I'm a British citizen from Leeds who has been basically stranded in the Philippines for two months now. In that timespan, i've slept in a convenience store and just managed to secure myself accommodation for the month. I have a lack of funds therefore struggling to provide myself with food, only just getting by.
I have tried contacting the embassy and they've been no help! not only that, but my bank account has closed down because Emirates charged me TWICE for my plane ticket, sending my account into overdraft, therefore I can't even access any funds going into that account. I don't have any family that can help (they're all struggling financially) nor any friends that could help out. I don't think I'd be able to get a loan, lacking the credit to do so, otherwise I would have taken a loan no matter the interest and reaped the consequences of taking one.
I'm desperate and I miss home.
I'm not sure what to do, I'm exhausting all of my options at this point.
If you need proof on my current situation I can provide you with what ever you need to know.
Thanks for hearing me out, have a good day.

2023.06.08 14:42 Mda_kendal4000 Real estate in dismemberment
Hello all, I am currently discussing with my accountant buying a warehouse or a garage splitting the usufruct for my company and the ownership without use for me.
I am targeting big garage or warehouse since the calculated usufuct can be higher than a simple garage.
Ex: Warehouse price = 80 000€ Net Rent = 400€ * 12 = 4 800€/y
Then you have different coefficient depending on the number of year you want to do that : 5y=4.45 10y=8.11 15y=11.12
If 15y, 4800 * 11.12 = 53 376€ So I just need to bring the rest personally.
Does anyone know that trick or has experience with it? Is my thinking correct ?
Thanks in advance Kr

$EPAZ Bounce Play Watchlist (EPAZ, GAXY, AABB, HMBL)
06/08/2023 03:28am EDT
In the fast-paced world of stock trading and investment, savvy market participants are constantly scanning the horizon for lucrative opportunities hidden within market fluctuations. These periods of volatility can present a unique window for astute investors to capitalize on potential bargains.
For this article, let's turn our attention to a selection of four penny stocks that have recently encountered a temporary downturn. However, beneath the surface lies an intriguing narrative of resilience and potential resurgence, capturing the attention of shrewd investors seeking hidden gems in the market.
EPAZZ INC. (OTC: EPAZ)
The first company with the potential for a bounce play is Epazz, Inc. (OTC:EPAZ). EPAZ is a mission-critical provider of drone technology, blockchain mobile apps, and cloud-based business software solutions.
Throughout this spring, EPAZ and their spinoff company, ZenaDrone, have been making significant strides with their flagship product, the ZenaDrone 1000. This advanced unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has garnered substantial interest from various sectors, positioning Epazz as a rising stock in the industry.
In March 2023, ZenaDrone, Inc., received a letter of support from the U.S. Air Force, solidifying the drone's potential for drone cargo delivery, including critical blood transport. The U.S. Air Force invited ZenaDrone to conduct tests at an overseas base under battlefield conditions, showcasing the drone's capabilities in a military environment. This milestone not only attracted attention from the U.S. Air Force but also caught the interest of the U.S. Army.
The successful presentation of the ZenaDrone 1000 at the AERO General Aviation Convention in Friedrichshafen, Germany, in April further bolstered its reputation. This exposure resulted in multiple scheduled demonstrations with NATO partner countries, law enforcement departments, and a prominent German rail line. In addition, ZenaDrone's engagement with German UAV regulators for beyond-visual-line-of-sight operations also demonstrates the company's commitment to staying ahead of industry standards and expanding its market reach.
In another update, EPAZ announced a meeting with Ossian Smyth, minister of state at the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform of Ireland, at ZenaDrone's offices in Dublin. ZenaDrone is currently in negotiations with a financing institution for a deal to purchase up to 100 ZenaDrone 1000s, paving the way for drone-as-a-service operations in Ireland, which could prove to be a lucrative opportunity for the company.
Something that could help with a rebound is that EPAZ is not only focused on the drone technology itself but also on key supporting components. The company has been actively filing patents for its artificial intelligence (AI)-based drone technology, with two patents already granted and two others under review with the US Patent Office.
In line with their commitment to innovative technologies, EPAZ recently formed Galaxy Batteries Inc., a subsidiary dedicated to housing their battery technology intellectual property. The company's high-powered battery solutions are essential for running specialized devices and aircraft. EPAZ is evaluating opportunities to monetize these technologies and provide additional value to the company.
Epazz's strategic updates this spring, including securing military interest, expanding international partnerships, and advancing patent filings, could make them a compelling investment prospect.
As EPAZ continues to develop and commercialize cutting-edge drone technology and battery solutions, investors may want to keep an eye on Epazz, Inc. (OTC: EPAZ) for potential opportunities within the ever-growing drone industry.
GALAXY NEXT GENERATION (OTC: GAXY)
GAXY is a leading provider of interactive learning technology solutions and school communication platforms. With over 22 resellers across the United States, the company serves the commercial and educational markets. The K-12 education segment accounts for nearly 90% of Galaxy's sales.
Latest Contract Win on June 6: Galaxy recently secured a significant contract worth a minimum of $200,000 from a prominent school district in Northeast Ohio. The contract involves supplying G2 Bell, Paging, Intercom, and Clock (BPIC) hardware, along with G2 Communicator software, to five schools within the district. Implementation is expected to take place over the next few weeks, marking a promising growth opportunity for Galaxy.
Q3 FY 2023 Earnings Highlights from June 1: In its recent earnings report for Q3 FY 2023, Galaxy showcased progress. Revenues climbed quarter over quarter, rising from approximately $430,000 in the three months ending December 2022 to around $657,000 in the three months ending March 2023. Notably, G&A expenses decreased from roughly $1.5 million to approximately $670,000, resulting in a significant improvement in net loss.
Strategic Partnerships Fuel Growth: Galaxy's recent partnerships with major audiovisual (AV) dealers have been instrumental in driving sales growth. With a pipeline exceeding $5 million and several upcoming opportunities, Galaxy is capitalizing on their expanded product portfolio. The company expects this shift towards higher-margin products to substantially improve profit margins and contribute to the company's performance.
ASIA BROADBAND INC. (OTC: AABB)
AABB is a resource company focused on producing and selling precious and base metals primarily in Asian markets. AABB is focused on providing an efficient metal supply from Mexico to Asian clients.
In addition, AABB has also ventured into digital assets, introducing AABBG, a gold-backed cryptocurrency, and proprietary platforms such as AABBExchange and PayAABB.com.
Yesterday, AABB provided an update on its operations. The company successfully verified shipments of processing equipment for its new facility in Mexico, which is set to enhance processing throughput while minimizing production costs. With an exclusive agreement to purchase a significant gold and silver ore stockpile worth over $800 million, AABB demonstrates its commitment to strategic expansion and increasing physical gold holdings.
The initial processing capacity of 200 tons per day, expected to generate over $11 million in annual revenue, is just the beginning, as AABB plans to expand the capacity fivefold to 1,000 tpd once the initial level is consistently at full capacity.
This state-of-the-art plant, equipped with advanced mining equipment automation, aims to maximize metal extraction while minimizing production costs.
AABB's strategic acquisition of the large-scale gold and silver ore stockpile in Las Jimenez, Etzatlan, Jalisco, Mexico, presents a potential high-yield asset addition. The new processing facility, located in close proximity to the ore stockpile and the AABB Buenavista mining warehouse, is expected to bolster revenue generation and pave the way for further expansion.
Overall, Asia Broadband Inc.'s recent progress, including the verification of equipment shipments, exclusive purchase rights to a substantial gold and silver ore stockpile, and the development of an advanced processing facility, could indicate a positive trajectory for the company.
HUMBL, INC. (OTCQB: HMBL)
At the end of May, HMBL took significant steps to strengthen its position and drive shareholder value. The company announced an extension of the conversion limitations on its Series B preferred stock, signaling its commitment to reducing dilution and securing investor interests.
Under the revised terms, Series B holders are restricted from converting any shares between June 2023 and September 2023. From October 2023 to June 2024, conversions will be limited to 500 shares per month, and from July 2024 to December 2024, the limit will increase to 1,000 shares per month. These measures aim to streamline the company's restructuring plan, which includes consolidating and retiring existing debt.
Additionally, HUMBL announced it has entered into a marketing partnership with the Swish Foundation, a renowned 501(c)3 organization, and the Swish Pro-Am Summer League. As part of this collaboration, the HUMBL logo will be prominently displayed on jerseys and courts during Swish Pro-Am games. The partnership extends to merchandise, which will be verified and commemorated on the BLOCKS Registry for enhanced tracking and verification.
This strategic alliance not only opens avenues for increased brand exposure but also presents opportunities for fan engagement. Swish Pro-Am athletes and teams will connect with fans through verified profiles on HUMBL's social media platform, catering to a global audience across 130+ countries. HUMBL will further leverage its digital wallet, search engine, and verified social media to activate sponsorships and offer authenticated, signed merchandise from the league during the 2023 Pro-Am Summer season.
The Swish Pro-Am Competition, set to begin on June 22, 2023, at Lincoln High School Gym in San Diego, promises an exciting showcase of talent and entertainment. HUMBL CEO Brian Foote expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, recognizing the growth potential and enhanced fan experiences this collaboration brings.
With these recent developments, HUMBL demonstrates its commitment to driving shareholder value and expanding its presence in the sports and digital content spaces. The company's efforts to reduce dilution and establish strategic partnerships contribute to its potential for a significant bounce in investor interest.

 | Email communication has become an integral part of our lives, with people using separate email accounts for business and personal communication. The trend of having two email accounts is growing, with freelancers, entrepreneurs, and one-person businesses signing up for professional-sounding email addresses accompanied by professional-looking email signatures. submitted by bernardocastro to LovedEmailSignatures [link] [comments] Business vs. Personal. While on the business side, HR departments or department managers manage email signatures to ensure they are professional and reflect the company’s brand identity. Personal email signatures can serve multiple purposes, including helping friends and family find you on other platforms, creating a professional-looking sign-off, advertising personal brands, etc. Many email platforms have their built-in signature generator, and there are numerous paid and free email signature generators available that integrate with big email providers. However, the extent to which you can get creative with a personal email signature generator ranges from basic to customizable. It is suggested to keep personal signatures clean and uncluttered, using only two complementary colors and the same font throughout. Additionally, all links, social media pages, and contact numbers should be clickable. A professional email signature is a section in an email that acts as a sign-off and contains your professional information. |

2023.06.08 14:41 YoungJeezey Bishop war college was a very strange mini series
It feels like nothing came of Bishop going to this other timeline other than an opportunity to say this is what it would look like if all the characters were Black?
It spans 5 issues and all that happens is Fenris shows up and attacks and bishop goes to an au and returns.
Alternatively I feel like there have been a number of 5 issue minis in the Krakoa era where A LOT happens. Was there something to get out of this that I’m missing?

2023.06.08 14:41 NecessaryExisting679 Let's create a community of PTs who are starting their own outpatient private practice. We all need a space to share and learn from one another. PTs already making good money with an established business that they started, please feel free to offer advice.
I have already received great advice from members of this community. I didn't know how to create a subreddit about starting a private practice, so maybe save and follow this post.
OK, another big one: NC is direct access. Why do I need to write goals that no one gives a rats ass about? So much of our documentation is a total waste of time. The doctors where I used to work literally used Dragon Assist to dictate a note. I know I'll have to do all the documentation for MC, but do I need to do all that crap for direct access? Can't I just dictate a note and include the billing and diagnosis codes, I'm assuming billing and documentation don't have to be directly linked??? I don't know

- I found office space for $550/month and it's 325 sq feet. Excellent size--probably could have actually gone smaller. But, what do I know. The lease stared May 1, 2023.
- I learned on Reddit that I can actually pursue billing insurance so I've started that process.
- BlueCrossBlueShield of North Carolina was super easy to enroll, just went on their website and enrolled as a new practitioner and then as a new business.
- Medicare is a pain in the butt--mainly because the website is so slow to load. But I'm 80% through the application, I'm just waiting on getting printed checks from my business account that I opened yesterday. I didn't know MC needs a voided check --so outdated, everything is done electronically.
- I'm working on United Health Care enrollment. Again, went to the website and am following the instructions on enrolling.
- Let me back up to make sure ya'll know the basics. You have to have a personal NPI number and a business NPI. These are really easy to get, just go to www.nppes.cms.hhs.gov
- Credentialing is all done via a central location called https://proview.caqh.org/ This is where you get your CAQH number. Credentialing is not the same as enrolling. You put all your information about your business and stuff in proview and then insurance companies go to this site to confirm your information. You enroll through each individual insurance company.
- Enrolling in Medicare is done via PECOS website www.pecos.cms.hhs.gov
- The thing I'm still learning about is a Medicare Administrative Contractors, or MAC. THese are private health insurance companies assigned to specific jurisdictions in USA and they process Medicare claims. They will be local contacts for billing. I still haven't figured out what forms need to be mailed or emailed or sent by carrier pigeon to MAC vs CMS. The information I get contradicts itself. Shocker.
- To enroll in Medicare you'll need the government form that shows your company's EIN. It is form CP 575 . It's so annoying....so many websites told me this but they never really told me what it was. I registered my company through Legal Zoom and that is where I found that form.
- What else. This is where I need help. What EMR should I use? JaneApp has been recommended. How do I actually bill medicare and bluecrossblueshield? I'll call BCBS and my MAC once I'm enrolled.
- My biggest question is, do I have to call each patient's insurance for information? Even if I do, I probably won't understand it. Do I just bill and hope for the best and learn by trial and error how to bill to get paid?
OK, another big one: NC is direct access. Why do I need to write goals that no one gives a rats ass about? So much of our documentation is a total waste of time.
