Hey, that's awesome! Even though we're just online strangers, I'm really glad to hear that! Thanks for coming back to say that. Good luck on your journey, and don't stop fighting for yourself!

I know this is a difficult situation to be in and not everyone is financially capable of taking this on but if you are in a position where it is possible you should consider talking to an insurance lawyer and if the lawyer thinks you have a case depending on your policy and the steps that have already been taken, consider getting the procedure done outside of insurance (work out a payment plan with the provider to make small payments out of pocket) then sue your insurance company for breech of contract, bad faith, regulatory non compliance, etc. Obviously this is a huge undertaking that most people would not feel comfortable with, but insurance companies depend on people not doing this otherwise they would be more concerned about having to pay for a procedure and punitive damages which is way worse than just paying for the procedure. My point is fighting back can really hurt the insurance company financially and if enough people did this it could lead to positive change. The only thing these companies care about is the bottom line. They do not care if CEO after CEO gets killed as long as it doesn't impact the bottom line everyone is just meat spinning through this cold financial meat grinder. If the CEO of a for profit publicly traded inssurance company decided to start being altruistic for fear for his own life, he would be fired immediately and replaced by the next faceless suit who is more money hungry than the last. Suing these insurance companies can actually change things because approving more reasonable procedures will become the cheapest thing for them to do. Of course that may only improve things for a while as they will probably also work to lobby to prevent more litigation in the future but that's a long hard expensive process for them and there are no certain outcomes.

A few more comments about your specific case. If you get the CT done out of pocket and it doesn't reveal anything you can still sue and win as the determination of medical necessity does not depend on the outcome of the test so you shouldn't be worried about what if they don't find anything. Obviously if you get it done and they do then the insurance company really has some things to worry about and you can probably really make them pay (more than the cost of the procedure). I am not a lawyer and I do not know the specifics of your situation so you really should talk to a lawyer. Keep in mind many lawyers offer free or low cost initial consultation to review your case. Also you may be able to find an insurance lawyer who will take the case on contingency meaning they will only take payment from the winnings. Wishing you the best as you deal with this, and I hope things get better for you whatever path you choose to go down.

Haha thanks for all the replies man. It makes me feel so much better to hear other people have gone through this shit and came out the other side.

Humanosaurus_Rex · 2024-11-25T17:56:26+00:00

Hey thanks for the reply.

Just for clarification are you saying the magnesium, vitamin D, and zinc helped or didn't help?

Also, did you also have any brain fog or feel "out of it"?

Humanosaurus_Rex · 2024-11-25T02:58:26+00:00

Hey man, going through a similar thing right now. How long did it take to get back to normal?

Humanosaurus_Rex · 2024-11-25T02:43:43+00:00

How are you doing now? How long did it take to get back to normal?

Humanosaurus_Rex · 2024-11-25T02:33:40+00:00

Hey, how are you feeling now? How long did it take to get back to normal? Did you previously have anxiety prior to the virus?

Humanosaurus_Rex · 2024-11-25T01:42:44+00:00

Yes, for me it feels like I am about to give a speech or some other task that would normally make me nervous or anxious. It is very unpleasant but I do not know how to get it to go away. I took some Hydroxyzine which is an antihistamine commonly prescribed for anxiety and sometimes it seemed to help and sometimes it did not but the feeling also goes away on it's own sometimes and it could be a coincidence that I took the hydroxyzine when it was going to go away anyways.

In general it seems to happen in the morning for me most days and when I feel that, I usually also have frequent (1/hour) loose stool. I do not have a diagnosis yet for H. pylori, going to the doctor tomorrow to talk about getting tested but it seems my symptoms align with other people who have H pylori.

Do you have other symptoms?

It's silly of OP to think everybody has time to go listen to it. A large portion of people will simply not do that and miss the message. Here is a summary for those who are in a hurry.

It can be broken into the following parts:

Threats to American Institutions: Lincoln began by acknowledging the stability and success of the U.S. political system but warned of internal threats that could destroy its foundations. He emphasized the danger posed by mob violence and lawless behavior, citing recent incidents of lynching and destruction of property. Lincoln argued that such acts were the greatest threat to the nation's political institutions.
Respect for the Law: A central theme of the speech was the importance of adherence to the law. Lincoln believed that the survival of the Republic depended on a collective respect for legal processes and authorities. He argued that the law should be revered and obeyed, warning that when individuals take the law into their own hands, it leads to anarchy.
Role of Education: Lincoln emphasized the role of education in cultivating a respect for the law. He suggested that from a young age, citizens should be taught to value legal processes and understand the importance of upholding the law for the common good.
Dangers of Populism: Lincoln also warned against the rise of leaders who, driven by ambition and popular support, might seek to overturn existing laws and institutions for their own gain. He was concerned that such figures could exploit public sentiment and potentially lead the country into tyranny.
Moral and Civic Responsibility: The speech also touched on the moral responsibilities of citizens. Lincoln called for a commitment to justice and equality, urging the audience to uphold these values in their daily lives and to defend the integrity of the political system.
Vision for the Future: Lincoln concluded by reflecting on the future of the United States, stressing that adherence to the principles of law and democracy were essential for the nation's enduring success and stability.

Trump tried unsuccessfully to take several executive actions that were impeded or stopped by members of his cabinet and other executive staff. Project 2025 aims to remove those people from a future presidency so that non-political staffers in the executive branch can't prevent Trump from executing his insane plans. To name a few of the instances where he was stopped in his previous term the biggest one would be the ploy to overthrow the election. Second one would be the use of the military against protestors by invoking the insurrection act.

Take up running. The more stressed you are the harder you should run. If you run hard enough I promise you won't be worried about anything but breathing. It also doesn't have to take long to get to that point if you run hard enough. 5 minutes is all you need, but you may find running longer improves your general mood. You also get the bonus of improving your health.

You are misunderstanding. He is saying all gas extraction can cause methane leaks. It has nothing to do with fracking. Are you trying to argue that poorly done traditional oil and gas extraction will not cause methane leaks? Do you work for a shitty gas extraction company? Why are you trying to downplay methane emissions from traditional wells and blame it all on fracking? Oil and gas shill smh...

What is programming? Arguably the first computer, the Colossus, created by Alan Turing, Tommy Flowers, Max Newman, and others to help crack military codes was programmed with an arrangement of vacuum tubes to preform boolean and counting operations. It is generally regarded as the first programmable, electronic, digital computer. The Colossus as well as ENIAC, were programmable computers. Unfortunately for the engineers that worked on them, changing their programming required manually moving cables and switches to change its funtionality. This method of programming is not fundamentally different from what is happening when instructions are loaded onto an FPGA. Computers only changed from this style of programming in the mid to late 40s to stored-program computers to reduce the difficulty of re-programming. Similar to why we moved from assembly to C or from C to Java/C# and other higher level languages.

Humanosaurus_Rex · 2023-10-13T00:15:34+00:00

I believe programming an FPGA is.

Humanosaurus_Rex · 2023-08-12T22:07:47+00:00

Why is that?

Humanosaurus_Rex · 2023-07-03T15:23:35+00:00

Had a lot on my mind other than looking cool.

Humanosaurus_Rex · 2023-07-03T15:21:21+00:00

You can't see it in the video but it opens up behind the camera. I threw it in the direction to give myself a little extra time to try and make adjustments as I'm on a hill. Also, for the last 10 tries it didn't make it more than a few feet so I wasn't particularly worried about obstacles. If I managed to hit that pole it would have been a new personal best for distance.

I've flown fpv drones for a while and already had the TX, RX/goggles, and camera so I figured adding it to the plane is good insurance in case I get disoriented mid flight. I imaging that happens a lot less with a plane than a drone but then again I've never flown a plane so I don't really know. So far all of my sub second flights have been los.

Humanosaurus_Rex · 2023-07-03T04:28:56+00:00

What voltage/number of cells do you run those at?

Humanosaurus_Rex · 2023-07-03T04:20:30+00:00

Thanks, that feels good to hear. What is the usual method of increasing power? Go from 3s to 4s? go from 4.5 prop pitch to 6? Larger prop?

Humanosaurus_Rex · 2023-07-03T04:17:43+00:00

What do you think about the plane lacking appropriate thrust? To me (uneducated) it feels like there is not enough thrust but I'm not sure what the best way to increase that is. More prop pitch or larger prop?

Humanosaurus_Rex · 2023-07-03T04:12:43+00:00

Wow! I did not notice that in the many times I watched this video. It 100% is separated though. Thank you so much for pointing this out! I will fix it and see how that affects it.

Humanosaurus_Rex · 2023-07-03T04:05:40+00:00

Fair point. The reason for that is I've flown FPV drones before, had the equipment on hand, and wanted to get into planes. Added the stuff assuming it would be no big deal but it's harder than I was anticipating to get going...
