Better late than never—I finally took the plunge and ordered a Framework 13 Pro laptop! Of course, delivery of the newer Intel model isn’t expected until the end of September, so I’ve decided to go with the more affordable AMD model for now, which is scheduled to arrive in July. I can always buy an Intel motherboard later and swap it out, then turn the old AMD motherboard into a mini PC. That’s the great thing about Framework!

We'll see. We're heading to Europe for a few weeks in June, might have a business trip in July to SF, definitely going to SF for personal reasons in August. It's a whole thing xD

Die CDU erzählt wieder Märchen, um ihre Ideologie von der vierstreifigen Brücke zu legitimieren.

ausreichenden Verkehrsqualität an den angrenzenden Knotenpunkten/Plätzen – wäre
ohne Planfeststellungs- oder Plangenehmigungsverfahren möglich."

The Central Oregon Irrigation District Diverts More Water Annually From the Deschutes River Than All Other Irrigation Districts Combined
Six irrigation districts together take more than 90% of the river in Bend from May to September.
COID is, by far, the most powerful.
It has rights to more than half of the volume of the river because when the state was carving up the Deschutes,
back in the early 1900s,
COID was near the front of the line with a plan to use th…

#Healthcare #US #Insurance #CPAP
So my CPAP started displaying a message on start up that it's motor has exceeded it's rated hours; fortunately it still works for now.
Called to get a replacement. Insurance said I needed a prior auth from my doc.
Doc says they don't issue prior auths (which I should have flagged when talking to insurance). Now insurance says to get my CPAP pressure/info from the local durable goods provider who somehow is in network with every damned insurance I've been on in 30 years (in US healthcare...go figure).
They can't give me that info; they need a script from the doc for pressure and other data.
Finally insurance upends all of it and says I need a new sleep study before I can get a replacement CPAP. Not a 'new' one, just the one I've been prescribed and provided, replaced b/c it's End Of Life.
That will take THREE visits and I won't have a new CPAP until SEPTEMBER.
MF I could have a god damned stroke if this machine cuts out.
