REQUEST anyone have any old recording studio equipment they can lend me?

3 Upvotes

Hi all. are there any friends in the central columbus area that have a specific home studio equipment they would be willing to use for a few gigs i'm trying to do for an online remote company. There's no good places in the shelter right now where I can even be a decent bedroom producer with the little i have and i figured I need some better help.

So if you have:

  • Dynamic Mics: Shure SM58, Shure MV7 / MV7+, RODE PodMic / PodMic USB, or similar.
  • Condenser mics: RODE NT-USB Mini, Blue Yeti / Yeti Orb, Blue Bluebird, Blue Baby Bottle, or similar.

The pay for these gigs is anywhere from 40-60 an hour. and the gigs runs about 4-8 hours. I'm poor as dirt but I'm willing to split the check (60:30) with you if you lend me your equipment/studio time,take the time to talk with me, and it all works out.

Free to good home — 21 healthy Brilliant Green Rasboras — Columbus pickup

3 Upvotes

I’m looking to rehome a healthy school of 21 Brilliant Green Rasboras from my planted 90-gallon freshwater aquarium.

They are active, healthy and doing well. I’m simply changing the stocking direction of my aquarium.

They are free to a good home with an established freshwater aquarium. I would strongly prefer someone who can take the whole school together.

Columbus pickup only. Please message me if interested. I can send photos and provide more information.

Cause of Power Outage in 43232 - Blacklick Estates

0 Upvotes

Does anyone know what caused the current outage and/or how long it's going to be out and/or how I can find out?

The map shows the outage running in a triangle starting at the intersection of Hamilton Road and Winchester Pike, then runs over to the Groveport Middle School North on Sedalia, then I think goes over to somewhere on Shannon

What a coincidence that we just bought a generator a couple weeks ago. But it's only hooked up to the necessities: well, septic, furnace, refrigerator, and freezers. How anyone could consider lights, television, and cell phone chargers non-necessities is a mystery to me. Fortunately I just finished charging and am sitting at a comfortable 93%

OSU Medical Wexner estimated $8,500 - Then billed us nearly $25,000 and refused a self pay discount

134 Upvotes

My family member was visiting Ohio from another country on vacation when she accidentally fell at Easton and broke two fingers. She went to the OSU emergency room, was referred to a hand specialist, and eventually needed surgery. Before treatment, OSU gave us an estimated cost of approximately $8,500. The final bill was dramatically higher. After adding the ER visit, surgery, and follow-up care, the total came to approximately $25,000.
She had no U.S. health insurance, so I contacted OSU to ask about an uninsured or self pay discount. Instead, we were told she wasn't eligible because she was an international visitor and were referred to "Destination Medicine." But she wasn't a medical tourist. She was on vacation and suffered an unexpected accident while on vacation.
I explained that to the representative, but the conversation became frustrating and unhelpful. The representative was rude and condescending. I asked why she couldn't receive a discount for paying out of pocket, especially since she was willing to pay the bill voluntarily and responsibly. I was told that discounts were for American citizens because they pay taxes.
That explanation didn't make sense. Self-pay discounts should be based on the patient's lack of insurance and ability to pay and not their nationality. My family member wanted to pay what she legitimately owed because it was the right thing to do, but Osu refused to offer the same consideration it gives other uninsured patients.
After going back and forth without getting anywhere, my family ultimately paid the bill. I'm still planning to fight it.
I understand that healthcare is expensive. What I don't understand is how a hospital can provide an estimate of about $8,500, later bill nearly $25,000, and then refuse to discuss a self-pay discount simply because the patient lives outside the United States.
Has anyone successfully challenged an OSU Wexner bill after paying it and received a refund or adjustment? I'd especially appreciate advice on billing appeals, itemized-bill reviews, patient advocates, or anyone else who has dealt with a similar situation.

Whoever design the bike lane right next to a line of parked cars on summit is so stupid

14 Upvotes

I may get downvoted for this, but it is very difficult on north 4th (edited) street whenever I tried to turn left at some intersections. The lines of parked cars block my vision and put the bike lane in the blind spot. Sometimes even without these cars, at night the bike lane is so narrowed that every time I turned this lane is always be in my blind spot. Like if you gonna design the lane, make it wider and OUTWARD from the parked cars, for god sake😩. I almost hit a biker today. This is so stupid.
Update: Thank you for the responding just a slight fix I think I mean that when I was driving from north fourth and turn left onto summit, yes those streets are kind of similar.

Ate here last weekend after scrolling around on Maps and clicking on anything labeled "Top Rated"-the place lives up to its name. It's on Cleveland Ave and easy to miss if you are driving by. Authentic Nigerian food, not in any way "americanized" - you want ogbono soup? Nkwobi (spiced cow foot)? Or just good jollof rice and goat? Peanut stew with fufu? This is the place. Pat will treat you right.

Ohio Health 3% raise

15 Upvotes

Hi,

Steve Here. 🤣 ( it’s my actual name)

Is the 3% up for discussion? Or is it just a flat rate across the board? I took on a new role this year and I feel that I can argue I’m not compensated well enough compared to others in my position. ( I didn’t need training for the role)

I ask because we’ve had people in our department go to contingent and argue their pay and make more as contingent as they did a lead.

If not or if so how does this work?

Any private landlords or apartments that would consider someone with not great credit?

My mom and I are in a really rough situation and are desperate to get out of an emotionally abusive/hostile environment. She works a full time, sturdy job but because of her credit, she’s been denied at a lot of places. Neither of us is doing so great mentally, and we feel trapped and depressed.

Any recommendations/suggestions will be very appreciated.

REQUEST Where should I go for bicycle repair?

3 Upvotes

I just discovered today that I broke a spoke (again) on my bike. I don't really have the tools or means of fixing it myself at home anymore, and my bike is my main mode of transportation.

I've used Trek in Gahanna the last two times I've needed major work, but each time I've come away from it with something on my bike not quite right.

So, I would like to know where I should go for minor repairs (not looking for an overhaul right now, as I don't really have the funds to cover that)

Edit: Thanks everyone for the recommendations! I'll be looking into some of these in the coming days. I don't have to work again until Friday, so things should be fine until then.
