Definitely need to flush out anything corrosive asap with how small circuit board connectors can be these days compared to even 20 years ago.

They're also in an area that has good reason not to trust the state/federal government.

I think that it should also be compulsory for essential employees to be able to elect delegates and alternates.

Reply to comment by Nutmegdog1959 in UVM Med - Billing Dept is a fun ride. by cpujockey
Looks like the hospital would only have four months following the publication of the Notice to Creditors to claim a debt. Then looks like you gotta send a Disallowance of Claim within 60 days of receiving the claim. which they have 60 days to respond to. And you want to send that certified mail so you have the full tracking information.

IANAL, sounds like you need to prorate the second line-item of distribution: https://legislature.vermont.gov/statutes/section/14/066/01205
As executor (I guess in this case because he had no will your title is technically administrator--moot difference), you have a right to access his medical records including billing under HIPAA. Make sure to be specific on format or they'll send you a bunch of gobbeldygook that's faxed, printed and rescanned into a PDF without text search or anything. I'm pretty sure you have to contact any imaging departments directly (you'd want to ask their records department) if they did anything like MRIs/CTs/X-Rays which they'd likely send you on DVDs in DICOM format with a viewer baked into the DVD.
You can also check the statutes to see if there was a time limit on the hospital making the claim.
There is a time limit to respond to records requests and if they omit anything requested without providing reason you can file a complaint with the federal Office of Civil Rights (OCR) which is the government body that enforces HIPAA.

I grew up on well water and spring water for the most part. My taste preference is untreated Northeastern New England spring water. Don't know about springs, but for wells I know that maintenance can require a shit ton of money (but then where is Vermont at with keeping phosphorus out of the lake?).

Reply to What’s going on with the Winooski schools? Looked at a house there and saw they all had 1/10 ratings and below 20% proficiency rates with terrible graduation rates? by vermont4runner
Well first thing you gotta do is source your data. Though I don't think it'd be pleasant going to school there with the F-35s. There's also a large refugee population in Winooski so you've got to expect a good portion of students to not have gotten much of a chance at education, or maybe even learning English fluently, before arriving in the US.

For me it was more like a mile and a half in three feet of snow, though yea--could get up to five feet in a serious drift where you'd have to slowly pack it down to three feet, but I'm not quite that old, and climate change is a thing.

You could even park somewhere with bus service to a T line--but yea, if you don't want to have your wallet simultaneously experiencing projectile diarrhea and projectile vomiting when it comes to parking, that's what you've gotta do. If you've got handicap tags meanwhile, you don't need to worry about parking nearly as much.

That video is fucking weird. The major reason for the shitshow of recycling right now is that it got outsourced to China because it became comparatively economically nonviable in the US, and the China said "nevermore" to the health issues being caused by the outsourcing, passed regulations, and now here we are without even the facilities we used to have for recycling because they couldn't compete with unregulated China.
Video mentions you can only recycle plastic twice? Wouldn't that decrease plastic consumption to a third of present consumption? Fucking video for morons.
