You can see the anesthesia highlighted on the bill from the hospital. Then there's the "extra bill" from the out of state medical group.

As you may notice I eventually got the hospital bill covered because my income level qualified for assistance. And I realize the extra bill is only $131, but I'd rather not pay it if I don't have to.

So the question is:

  1. Why are the amounts so different for anesthesia? Was the hospital's anesthesia listed different from the one on the extra bill?

  2. If the hospital says it's all covered, do I still owe this extra bill to the out of state medical group?

Anything specific I should say to my insurance company when they inevitably try to bill me for something that is covered? (Dr. terminated contract with my insurance, but I'm still in the 90-day global post-op period)

----For clarification further down, I've had authorizations to "see" a doctor, we'll call them Dr. One, but Dr. One is just the owner(?) of the practice. The doctor who did my surgery, who we'll call Dr. Two, is the doctor I've actually been seeing this whole time, and he works at Dr. One's practice.-----

I had a big surgery (full recovery timeline expectancy - 6 months) a little over a month ago. I had one follow-up with the Dr. Two 2wks after, and my next follow-up is tomorrow.

I received a letter, written on 8/29, TODAY saying that Dr. One had terminated their contract with my insurance on 8/25. Luckily I've had Dr. Two's email and been communicating with him this whole time. I JUST emailed him and he said it's ok because I'm still under the 90-day global period for post-op care with him.

Now, I of course expect my insurance (or rather, the management company of my medical group) to try and bill me full price for tomorrow's visit because they'll either ignore or not notice the 90-day thing (and any further follow-ups in the next ~6wks before the 90-day period ends).

So when I inevitably have to talk to them to get the bill fixed, is there anything specific I should say to them? Other than "Hey I'm still in the 90-day global post-op period." Because I can almost guarantee the entry level customer service person I speak to will probably have no idea wtf I'm talking about.

How do I turn off posts from communities I don't follow showing up in my Home feed? This just recently started happening.

I can't find a way to turn this off. My Home feed should just be communities I follow, that's the WHOLE point.

Last I played they showed ping on the server list, but not anymore. Is there a way to make it show again?

Even when I click on a server to check it, the ping shows as "?" so is there any way to tell? Or do I just have to choose servers in my own country if I want to be kind of sure it'll be ok?

Plugged in my HDD with all my media on it into my "new" pc and it's not being read, even in BIOS

Recently had to change the mobo (and cpu) in my pc, but all other parts remained the same.

  • MSI b550 pro vdh
  • Ryzen 5 3500x
  • 16gb ddr4
  • 6500 xt
  • 1tb 2.5 ssd
  • 8tb hdd (media only - movies/music/photos, no software)

When I did the fresh install, it was reading my ssd as only having 15mb of space (it had over 600gb of empty space at the time) so it wouldn't let me install on the ssd. It was also reading my hdd as the "primary" drive for some reason, even though the only things on it are movie/music/photos, no software or anything else.

I unplugged hdd and tried again. Neither drive showed up this time. Weird. So I put the sata plug that was in the hdd into the ssd instead (and did not plug the hdd in). It worked!

So after doing all the necessary updates I now have a working computer. BUT the hdd has not been plugged in yet, so I plug it in because I'm going to insall Jellyfin and want to direct the movies/music e.t..c... file paths to the media on my hdd.

I plug in the hdd, doesn't show up. Restart - still nothing. I check Disk Manager, it's not there. I check the BIOS, it's not showing up there either. I enable hot plugs - nothing.

I know it's not the sata plugs because the ssd was showing up previously under that same sata plug. They were also both working fine before switching mobos.

My next guess was to switch from AHCI to RAID in the BIOS, but I'm not sure what the effects would be.

Thoughts?

Any upgrades from the past 2-3yrs you'd swap in my Bo1 deck on Arena WITHOUT completely changing how it works?

Just started playing again and even though I vaguely keep an eye on Magic, I'm not deep enough into the sets in order to know immediately what would work well.

Cleaner layout: https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/lifeline-bw-clerics-bo1-arena/?cb=1787208091

List:

Creatures:

  • 4x Cleric of Life's Bond
  • 2x Elas il-Kor, Sadistic Pilgrim
  • 4x Essence Channeler
  • 2x Heliod, Sun-Crowned
  • 4x Lunarch Veteran
  • 2x Phyrexian Missionary
  • 4x Righteous Valkyrie
  • 1x Skyclave Cleric
  • 4x Voice of the Blessed
  • 2x Zoraline, Cosmos Caller

Non-Creature:

  • 2x Authority of the Consuls
  • 3x Bitter Triumph
  • 2x Necromentia
  • 2x Phyrexian Arena

Land:

  • 6x Plains
  • 1x Restless Fortress
  • 1x Shattered Sanctum
  • 2x Swamp
  • 4x Brightclimb Pathway
  • 1x Caves of Koilos
  • 3x Concealed Courtyard
  • 4x Godless Shrine

First of all - no, I am not going to do any infinite combos with Orah. I despise infinite combos. This is what I meant when I said "without changing how the deck works."

I also realize there's a W/G deck and a W Angels deck that are very similar, and probably more cohesive since I think they've been tested more thoroughly. But I like this version that I made and have used it for years, so I want to keep going with it.

Now that that's out of the way, what do you think? Keep in mind this is a Bo1 deck, which is why Necromentia is there. I'm not trying to prepare for every deck I face, I'm just trying to have my deck do it's thing.

Sheoldred, the Apocalypse is of course under consideration, but despite its lifegain trigger, I'm a bit wary of adding any creatures that aren't Clerics.

I've had Marauding Blight-Priest and Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose in the deck at times, and while they can be quite the bomb, they can be clunky. Which is why I exchanged them for things like Phyrexian Missionary and Heliod.

I also had Cleric Class in here for a long time, but its lvl 2 and 3 costs were just a bit high when I usually have a creature to play or one of my non-creatures would be much better to play. It could be amazing occasionally, but if I wasn't already way ahead, my opponent would usually be getting ahead if I was activating the other levels.

Post-surgery, can't put any pressure on my foot for at least the next 6wks, what are some stretches I can do to help my back and body from sitting all day?

I'm already a couple weeks in and have just kinda been doing non-specific stretches, but I can't really get on the floor nor can I use one of my feet at all (it's in a boot).

Even after I'm allowed to start putting tiny amounts of pressure on my foot, it's still going to be an estimated further 3 months before I should be fully recovered, so I still won't be able to do most stretches that I find on youtube until literally 2027.

[Misc] My leg is in a medical boot (was in a splint before), now I can take it out occasionally, so best ways to help with itching and general unpleasantness?

It looks like this.

There's 2 pieces, a foam-based wrap and then the plastic shell with all the straps. I'm not supposed to walk yet, but I'm supposed to take it off a couple times a day to do some light movement. When I do, that's when I feel the need to scratch the shin/calf area a bunch.

The shin/calf is not the injured area, so I can rub/scratch it. Should I put something between my skin and the foam? Should I lotion it up for the ~10min it's out of the boot, and then wipe it off before putting the boot back on? I've cleaned the area, but not sure what else to do to help.

I can't put a sock or anything on my foot area yet, just the calf/shin area.

If the movie "Untitled Home Invasion Romance" actually happened, what would most likely happen to the husband character if he confessed at the beginning? (Spoilers)

I'll only go into the first ~30min of the movie.

Premise: It's a marriage on the rocks. The husband hires an acquaintance to break into he and his wife's home and pretend to rob and attack them so that the husband can fight him off, thus winning back the affection of his wife. He and the acquaintance are actors and had a script and everything for the break-in.

Well, shit happens and the husband is delayed from getting home and can't contact the acquaintance, so the guy breaks in as planned, but the wife ends up killing him before the husband gets home.

Now, in the film the husband doesn't admit to scripting the break-in and just goes along as if it was a random break-in. But what I'm wondering is....

...what if the husband immediately admitted to what happened, and this was just a horrific accident. What would the husband be charged with, if anything?

[TOMT] Mid-90s Saturdays, live action scripted fighting show, martial arts, unique characters

I remember when they would "fight" it would be like a side scroll angle like a fighting video game, and the back "wall" was like a cage/fence going up all the way off-screen.

They would show the characters backstage too. They were unique, like video game characters. No special powers or anything that I can remember, but they had costumes/outfits.

Martial arts heavy, not a lot of wrestling/regular fighters that I can recall.

Maybe like a PG rated Mortal Kombat.

Could be wrong on the details but this is what I remember.

Should I use Crossover or something if the game is supported natively?

Macbook Pro M3 (not pro) 16gb RAM

Trying to play Rust and it's supported natively. However I've optimized the settings as much as I think is correct (followed along this video). But it's still not that great.

One main issue is I'm not quite sure what to set the resolution to. I don't even have 1920x1080 as an option for some reason. I took it down to 2048x1280 but I don't think that changed much.

Anyway, should I be using Crossover or anything like that? I never have before so I'm not exactly sure if I need it or not.

Can I make a regular tube light wireless/rechargeable without having to use a huge casing to hide wires/the battery?

Basically I want a light like this one to just lean against a corner in my living room, but I want it to be wireless. Preferably at least 2hrs of runtime on low/warm brightness.

I've found wireless ones of course, but they aren't 360°, they give off light 270° at most and have a flat back.

I've seen some videos of transforming fluorescent into led/wireless, but it's usually for overhead lighting and they hide the wires/battery in the casing that's mounted to the ceiling/wall (like this)

I'd prefer the battery area (the "handle," if you will) to not be much wider in diameter than the light.

Is this possible?

Are there any GOOD options that also have the cool aesthetic of the cheap/bad speakers all over amazon/temu e.t.c....?

I really like the look of a bunch of speakers you find on amazon/temu/aliexpress (ones that have a modernized look from the 1940s-80s, see photos for examples), but I know they're probably not great quality, despite what the reviews may say (can't even trust "reviews" nowadays).

Are there any that are actually good quality? Along the lines of a JBL Flip/Bose Soundlink Flex e.t.c....?

MARSHALL is a bit pricey for me.

Where can I find decent, irregular shape rugs? Worried about how dropshipping has made it hard to find anything of quality nowadays

Like most people I'm in the low-mid budget range, so I can't be spending $400 on a rug. This leads me to seeing the same rugs across platforms, which is a sign they're thin, low-quality, dropshipped pieces of crap that you'd find on temu/aliexpress.

So is there anywhere with decent, irregularly shaped rugs online? Even if an online place has a good return policy, I'd rather not have to return it just because it ended up being crap. I can go to places in person to check quality, like Ikea or Target, but they just have rectangles and maybe a couple round ones. Same thing with thrifting and most other in person stores.

There's been an alarm going off for at least 7hrs (probably more, but I was sleeping before) in an apartment building near me. I can hear it with my windows closed. If I call non-emergency noise complaint, will anything actually happen?

I walked around but can't pinpoint the alarm, but it's definitely loudest when I was in the parking lot of a neighboring apartment building.

It sounds like a smoke detector, but obviously there's no fire because there would've been smoke by now. It beeps 3 times, then 1 second of silence, then 3 times, repeat.

I understand it's the daytime, but even the daytime has a decibel limit for noise complaints (I checked local laws). If I can hear it in my apartment with the windows closed, it's definitely above that decibel.

But will anything actually happen? Will cops go into the building, knock on doors, e.t.c....? I know noise complaints are usually low-tier, sometimes not even investigated.

Fusion Title - Scale Up blacks out the whole video (including itself) for the last 14 frames no matter how long/short it is. If I make the entire thing only 14 frames it's all just black.

Davinci 20.3.3 Mac Mini M2 Pro

I have my video and adjustment clip, both only used to adjust positioning and Smart Reframe on the video, nothing else besides the Fustion Title.

I have used other Fustion Titles just fine in the past, but this one blacks out the whole video for the last 14 frames. I can't shorten it to avoid this because it's always the last 14 frames no matter how short it is. Any idea what's going on?

In my searching I found people with similar problems, but not this exactly.

Even if I change the Timeline settings and/or Project settings to vertical it still doesn't show up. Did I accidentally click something to make it not show up?

Is there a way to turn Smart Reframe off after using it?

This is for 9:16 reels/tiktoks that are pulled from 16:9 video. So in my clips I like to do several zoom ins/outs, which is fine when the person speaking is the thing I want centered, but sometimes I want to zoom out and have the main person over to one side when they're speaking to someone who's off-camera (someone in the crowd/live events).

Every tutorial I see only shows "Hey look you can just click Smart Reframe and now the person is centered," but they don't say anything about turning it "off."

For example right now, when I zoom out and manually put the person speaking to the right (using adjustment clip), there will be a black bar/space on the opposite side because Smart Reframe is still making it think the person on the right is the "center."

There's no toggle switch like there is with Composite/Dynamic Zoom e.t.c.... so I don't know what to do. The only thing I can think of right now is either adding Smart Reframe as the last step, or re-adding the whole video and cutting it again each time I want to throw in a zoom out like what I mentioned above.
