We had a dishwasher with auto-dispense where you pour the whole bottle of detergent into a reservoir and it would automatically dispense what was needed. Well one day it was getting low I poured a new bottle in and all the dishes weren&#x27

True, though tenants in corporate owned single family housing all tell me it's closer towards the worst landlords. The corporations won't harass you, but they essentially don't want to do anything. You just get an expensive &

I've been sick for almost ten years and had low vitamin D levels. Last two years I've finally found some treatments that work for me, now that I'm healthier my vitamin D level has gone up to about 40 even though I rarely go o

Later, because they're more likely to have some sort of treatment, there's a large number of studies going on now. Here's an article from the WSJ about how using serum from recovered measles patients prevented an outbreak dec

A sizable portion of the car washes in Los Angeles have an aggressive chip repair salesman who will circle all the chips and aggressively try to sell you on free windshield repair. Guy was always confused and upset about why I wouldn't

They have rental scams here where they will show you the house as well. One is where they pretend to be realtors and get the key from the listing agent.

Hospitals will pay their own money for residencies in specialties that are wildly profitable. Usually, some fancy types of surgeons. Primary care, endocrinology, rheumatology, and a lot of other needed specialists are not so the limited slo

On the zero bezel phones the software makes a huge difference. I have very small hands where I can barely grip friends' XL phones. If they have some cheap off-brand, discount prepaid or even fancy Chinese Android I am constantly activa

I’m in the same boat as you. My PT has helped a lot. I discovered many of the treatments were in the book The Perrin Technique. The symptoms in the book described me exactly. I gave her a copy to read and it has helped greatly. My PT told a

Older people have had more practice operating the TV. Just getting the phone to work is often a mental challenge. A ton of them are constantly inadvertently opening control center and then accidentally turning it on airplane mode or whateve

I know a ton of these older adults. I think the true problem is that they are not socializing enough which is the cause of the mental decline and often paranoia. Some of them have moved somewhere cheaper to retire where they don’t have man

Active management is expensive. I've seen it for $1800/yr and the rate of followup was still poor. If you want a doctor to take care of you like family the rate seems to be $7500-30000 annually depending on what's wrong with

Depends on the insurance company's contract with the provider. It is generally optional, though they will tell you otherwise. I would still pay it though. I feel like it is a good value and I want to maintain a good relationship the th

An electric bike is too heavy and bulky, there's nowhere to store it in the house. Also a pain to store in the office which is upstairs. We can't leave it outside due to the homeless, they'll steal or vandalize or defecate on

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the electric scooter rental services. For a while they did make traffic in Santa Monica and surrounding areas better. It went from horrific to less horrific but no one talked about that. My boyfriend

There's a huge number of people who use Uber as a payday loan who are completely unaware of finance. They just need cash NOW. The most ridiculous one I saw was a drive with a cracked iPhone 7 Plus three days after release. In my half h

Agreed. I do remember reading somewhere that the average current full time working mother spends more time with her children than a housewife in the 50s. Children used to go outside and play and have more unstructured time. I feel like ther

In LA, Hispanic neighborhoods have 24 hour urgent cares but the doctor quality is all over the place though usually bad. Urgent cares used to be pretty upfront. I went to an urgent care a couple of years ago, $99 advertised in the window. I

We eat the loss and the chargeback fee, it's just a cost of business. It's not worth it to ban the customer. 90% of them don't buy again. Of the 10% that do, it's worth it to keep their business and risk the chargebacks.

You may be right. It's been a while. I remember reading a news article some place where they had the stats before they put them in, and found out after that ambulance times were delayed and the death rate went up, and then they tore th

Seconds count. We already know that speed bumps kill 9 for every 1 life they save, due to ambulance delays. Ambulances are heavy and can't go over speed bumps very quickly. The 1 life they save is from someone not going so fast.

I have managed many people in industries that attract low IQ (70-90) workers. I also know a lot of high IQ people since I went to a gifted high school. I'm not a psychiatrist, but I believe the low IQ have WAY higher rates of anxiety,

I use Paprika as well. The most useful feature is that I can add a bunch of recipes to the calendar for a week, and then auto generate a grocery list synced to my phone. You can also easily scale the ingredients. I have a couple of friends

If you are not already going to a large academic center in a large city, I would start there. Also depending on your condition and specialty it is fairly regional. For example, most of the good geneticists are on the east coast. In large ci

Exactly. It also depends on your neighbors. Right now we have two relatively similar options, but for various reasons the neighbors are all the type to never switch. So, no one will negotiate and you just have to switch back and forth every
